First cycle results. Normal?

[Toogood]

Age: 22
Height: 5'8
Starting weight: 176
Ending weight: 194
Years lifting: 5

Bench press: 365
Dead lift: 550
Squat: 425

I ran test Cyp for 8 weeks at 250mg a week

Ran Adex at half a cc about every 3-4 days

My pct started two weeks after my last injectjon and consisted of clomid at 50mg the first week and then 25 mg for my second week, only two weeks of pct since my cycle was so short and at a very low dose.

Its been 15 days since I started my pct and I still have not lost any weight. I am still at 194-195 and my strength gains have remained.

Is this normal? Considering I did a hella low dose and a short pct.

Either way I am very pleased with the 18 pounds I have gained. Any Opinions?

I'm a fan of low dosages-you did well. You seem to have training/eating down-this is good. NOW, as far as PCT goes Clomid is good (next time use 1/2 as much) but also look into Bodybuilding, Need to Build Muscle, Muscle Bodybuilding - they have several PCT products. I've used them on several occasions & they work.

Its not out of the question

Good job bor

I absolutely applaud you on going with 250mg the first time. Great job. Now....no need to double it next time. Try 375.

good job. at your height i would say you had a nice base at 175.

as for your question you still have test esters floating in your body.. it will take 5 weeks after last injection and you will notice strength will slowly back down.... this is something we hear a lot from newbs because they do not understand half lives. so based on what you wrote you've got 1 more week until the bad news comes your way.

that would be awesome if you got to keep 100% of your gains though but not gonna happen my friend. you were benefiting from extra hormones in your body, once those extra hormones slowly go away you will lose some strength.. the challenge is to keep as much gains as possible. utilize the excellent non suppressive supplements that are available

come off cycle, bridge. understand you will give back some strength.. then next cycle set a goal to hit a new PR. thats the way it is done. you won't gain 18 pounds on your next cycle. unless you quit lifting and go back to 175 and start the process over again

The cycling process is always 2 steps forward 1 step back

Steve hit the nail on the head here. You are not out of the woods yet my friend, but nevertheless....so far so good. Just keep at it as the last remaining bit of exogenous hormones exit your body. The real test comes after PCT, when you see how well the gains stick then. If a couple months down the road after PCT, you still gave your weight and mass, you can then give yourself a big pat on the back

Nive work! I'd start PCT a little sooner (And keep it going for another month or so), but damn good cycle. And reasonable dosages! That's what happens when you know how to train!
