    What was your pct? Also 3400 cals is lunch, you need more, prob more protein too, something like 300 grams a day to grow.

    Guys, you gotta get away from this, "if you do a proper PCT, you wont lose your gains" BS. PCT has nothing to do with it, its all in your diet & training, if those two components arent properly tuned, you could run a PCT that would impress Swifto, but you still wont keep any gains. And btw, if you're eating 3400 cals in one meal, your stats should be somewhere around 10 - 11 feet tall, & 450 - 500 lbs. Not everyone needs 5000 cals a day to make gains.

    Are you an ectomorph? What is your bodyfat %? How many years have you been training before going on this past cycle? There is a chance that you could be at your natural limit so anything gained from gear will eventually be lost. Everyone always points to diet, but I'm going to point to training. You have to adjust your training when you go off cycle. You won't be able to push as much weight or recover as quickly so you'll have to adjust your training if you haven't already done so. Be sure you cut back on the volume and intensity when you're off cycle, or you'll end up overtraining.

    If heard many say decrease volume but up the intensity. That you really gotta push it for 45 minutes tops and get out, and eat.

    hey sorry took so long to reply... Work schedule blows...

    Ok so daily diet while I was on was this...

    Meal 1 - 10 egg whites, 3 with yoke, two servings of oats.
    Meal 2 - 50 gram protein shake with one serving oats.
    Meal 3 - 8 oz chicken breast 6 oz sweet potato broccolli or green beans
    Meal 4 - 8 oz chicken breast 6 oz sweet potato
    Meal 5 - 8 oz steak and brown rice. Green beans

    Along with diet I was taking a multi twice a day.
    gallon and a half of water a day.
    Cheat meal every two weeks.
    I will admit though that I would miss a meal here and there.

    My PCT was mirrored swifto's post.

    That is far from 3400 calories. I'll round up.

    Meal 1-750 (7*30 + 3*70 + 2*150)
    Meal 2-400 (200 + 1*150)
    Meal 3-400 (200 + 150 + 500ish)
    Meal 4-350 (200 + 150)
    Meal 5-no idea what type of steak and how much rice, but your estimated total to this point is under 2k.

    Also, do you have pre and post cycle bloodwork?

    Sorry funkymonk, didn't realize you already touched on this subject before I posted. Didn't mean to step on your toes.

    OK, that's not 3400 Cal. I'm not sure its even 3000, if you can't / won't eat, then you wiki never keep anything steroids gives you. Again, I'm not saying you need 5000 or 6000 cals. but you're current diet is insufficient.

    that looks like my cutting diet


    and as others have said, that aint no 3.5k calories!! and 3.5 calories is what i had when i was bulking 165-175lbs. and 3.5k soon became my maintenance when i was at 177lbs. so there ya go! next time eat up and plan your diet better and get a calculator.

    you want to remain big then eat big. EAT BIG. LIFT BIG. BE BIG. hopefully u learn ur lesson for next time.

    Actually you only have to be around 7'8" to weigh 500 lbs. There was a Roman emperor That was around 7'8" and the Romans weighed him at 500 lbs. His name was Maximinus Thrax. He was emperor from 235 to 238 AD. His own soldiers killed him. The image IClick image for larger version.
