The training program I'm on requires you to increase weight every 2 weeks by 5-10lbs. depending on the exercise.
From your experience on cycle, what kind weight increases have you experienced over a 12 week cycle?
I'll be starting 12 week cycle of 500mg of test per week, and finishing off with 60mg ed of anavar for 8 weeks. I know eveyones different, but just curious of what I could expect.
Weights or body weight?Quote:

IF you are working out consistently before cycle and you put in enough reps each week 5 lbs is easily obtainable per week for the major full bar lifts. You are not going to bump curls 5-lbs a week for more than a few weeks.
Reps build the CNS. CNS will ALWAYS be the plateau that cannot just be "crushed".
Agree with Chicagotarsier.After app.9 weeks on cycle,my bar curl has increased by 10 kilos,but my leg press has increased by 6 plates=150 kilos.
Sorry guys, ya was referring to increases in weights.
Ya my program increases upper body lifts by 5lbs. and lower body lifts by 10lbs. every 2 weeks. So bicep curls you'd be upping the weight by 2.5lbs each side, squats, 5lbs. each side.
I'm hoping with the boost I get on cycle I can up my weights weekly, however I'm trying to cut on this cycle, so not sure if that will hinder my strength gains.
The cut mighr affect it but it might not, just depending really on the cycle and how you're cutting, if you're gonna do a drastic cut then yeah strength for sure will be affected but if its just a small cut spread over a 12 week cycle you can still build strength imoQuote:
