  • Best way to retain new muscle after cycle!

    IMO

    1) Keep protein intake high

    2) Keep calories high (clean if possible to avoid fat gain)

    3) Lower training volume somewhat, but dont stop working out, maybe take an extra day or so off the first few weeks of post cycle

    4) Still stick with low reps high weight and fairly low volume

    5) Creatine, 5-10g per day

    6) Glutamine 10-20g per day

    7) Clomid, nolvadex ( I hate clomid)

    8) Lots of sleep

    9) Avoid alcohol, and other recreational drugs (especially drugs like mdma, coke, speed, ritalin, adderall, etc. although if hopefully this isnt even an issue with you, but I figured I'd mention it).

    10) Avoid much cardio

    11) Don't let yourself go very long without a meal (always include protein in that meal whether it be from food or a shake...food is always better though)

    12) Take ZMA on a nightly basis. This difference is prob minor but isn't a bad idea.Some people get a better night sleep on it, and insufficient zinc in one's diet can cause low testosterone levels.

    13) HCG (huge difference in post cycle recovery some say, I have never used it.)

    14) ALA ( some people take it some dont. some wait till after PCT to take ALA)

    Very good post! I agree, clomid sucks.

      Clomid doesn't block estrogen like nolva, that's why a lot of Bros me included, get as emotional as a 13 year old girl on her period.

                  I agree with most of the above, except the protein intake. Yes keep it high, but not as high as it was on cycle. Your body cannot use as much when your not on androgens. I generally lower protein intake from 400g to 300g, and up the fat cals. Fat is important for natural test production.

                    Triblus has helped me, and it's cheap so it can't hurt.

                      True, your body will not use as much when "on" for building purposes, but keeping all your calories the same coming "off" will aid in retaining what you have gained. JMO.

                        Re: Best way to retain new muscle after cycle!

                        My last cycle was a 14 weeker and at the end I tapered for another six weeks with anavar. Got my sex drive back and almost completely recovered while taking 10 mg. a day of the anavar. It was awesome because I never had that feeling of having a hard crash because I kept my strength and still felt like I was on. I believe the hardest part about keeping muscle is the body trying to return to a normal state. All that extra muscle can be a shock to the system so your body tries to get rid of it. Longer cycles have always made sense to me because of this fact.
                        Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

                          I thought HCG will slow down recovery and that its better to run during cycle, rather than try to reverse the atrophy post cycle?

                            To sum it up...keep lifting, get plenty of rest, and keep the clories high...lots of protien.

                              Depends on what your running. If tren or deca, id run it at least 500IU twice ew. If you just want to bounce back better post cycle, i run it 500iu 3 time ew, right after cycle, but before pct.
