7th week of Test, gains plateaued

[Stumbo]

I agree with everything you said Zennie.

However....

He said his gains plateaued. If he would have said his gains SLOWED, then yes, that would come into play.


The first 8 weeks is when the most gains come for sure. Thats why I liked builking the first 10 weeks, then cutting the last 4. The last 4 weeks my body get use to the new weight, while the gear also preserves the muscle I gained while I drop the bf.

Great to hear that Stumbo! I was a bit over stating my point but glad someone understands where I am coming from. Yes, you're definitely right to point out plateaued vs slowed. It shouldn't plateau unless maybe you drop the dosage of AAS after the 10 week.

I am on my 3 week of my cycle now. Up by 7 lbs. Test E, Deca, Winstrol, and kick starting with Winny and prop for first 4 weeks. Will use vars about week 8, to induce a new spurt of growth and about week 11 I would start to cut for 3 weeks and when I start my PCT, I will go for maintenance level because PCT and low calories = muscle loss! I like the way you said to let the body stabilize so that you cut instead. Might as well right, since you can't get too much outta bulking!

yes, the more muscle mass u r adding, the more food necessary to keep the gains.

Yea, I ate much more yesterday, and much better to boot. Also got a sloid 8.5 hours of sleep last night, and i feel refreshed today. When i woke up, my muscles felt good, which doesnt happen when i get crap sleep.


Thanks for the advice guys, esp. Basketcase.

OK , question about all of this . Now the more he gains the more he must eat to keep up .

Now once he's done with his cycle....does he have to keep eating what he was up to at the end of the cycle to keep the gains? FOREVER??

Then get even more as time goes on from more gains , and even a ton more from another cycle?

I have a hard time eating this much as it is .

Yes, you have to continue to eat at that level else you will not be able to hold the weight. Since the body is not as efficient at recovering or using protein and nutrients while off cyle as it is while on cycle, one must be especially careful to lift, rest and eat well off cycle else gains will be lost very quickly.
