Training after cycle question

[Diamond Dogg]

After your cycle is over and you're lifting on your down time between cycles do you guys find it best to keep your reps between 10-12 with med. heavy weight?

Not being a "user", but would you change at all, don't you want to gain while our off as well as on? I would say you train the same but maybe lessen the frequency if you were doing a body part more than once a week.

Hey bud. Like Strider said, your best bet is to increase recovery time between workouts. Your workouts should still be intense but you might want to back off the volume a little bit while your body is in hormonal flux so that you're not losing much of your gains while at the same time not overstressing your body which is probably already pretty stressed from the change in hormone status. After a while, once you feel like your system is pretty much back to normal, you can try and go for gains again. However, I would recommend that you not try and add much strength and/or mass when your first come off and instead aim at maintaining what you gained. That's just my opinion/experience. Good luck to you.

keep you intensity up and make sure your eating as much or more than you where when you where on your cycle. Its tough to stay motivated when you lose a little weight and strength. Train smart
