TweetTo be honest, and not to sound like a bad ass, but I up my caloric intake about 300-500 calories post cycle, while running my clomid, I usually start my creatine & dextrose the last day of my shot and my strength never goes back down. Ive actually gained 2.5-5 lbs on my bench post cycle, doesnt sound like a lot, but a lot of people lose strength post cycle. If you combine the right supplements and do as you said and up your calories (in the right ratio of course) your strength will stay stable.
