I was originally having a hard time getting it up and keeping it hard right after cycle at start of PCT, but on my 6th week of PCT i have no problems now, and feel like I have recovered. My pumps aren't as good, and I do not feel/look as big but my strength is still there? Just kinda weird. Honestly I'd rather have the size back from pumps but i'll take the strength.
It's called the "rebound effect". Also, have you reduced training volume?
