Good luck on the change of program.

After my cycle, I went into a higher rep range, with periods of low rep heavy days. I think because of that, even bring off cycle for months has made it so I'm still getting stronger. It's much slower and not as much, but still. The only exercises I've lost ground on are those I haven't been constantly doing.

This next cycle with be a cut, so I don't suspect I'll see much strength increases. However, I still plan on having days here I go in the 5 rep range.

today marks 2 weeks on cycle. still nothing really noticeable. still running 50mg 6 days a week. started caber last monday at .5mg twice a week and i can tell that it legit. having sex twice a day and erections are hard as a rock.

today i felt really good. weight went up good
bench- 315 3x3 then 315x6 with slingshot. I probably could of gotten 4 reps with each sets if i really grinded it.
BB shrugs- 185 4x8-10
DB seated OHP- 40's 4x8-10
widegrip pulldowns- 5x8-10
calf raises- 4-8-10
decline situps- 4x8-12
tricep rope pushdowns- 4x8-12 (final set dropset)

this is the first workout where i think i may have gained some strength. just on friday i benched 295 3x4. now just a few days later i did 20 pound more for 3x3 feeling like i could of gotten another rep.

you should be noticing something, like night sweats and getting alittle hot flashes, what brand you using? personally I woulda ran it 100mgs EOD instead of 50mgs ED, most people will say its the same but IMO it makes a difference

People say to me its possible to be too big.....but for me I dont want a physique thats average something thats reachable, I want something thats unobtainable that looks like its so hard to get, yes women hate it, BUT I FUCKIN LOVE IT....SO FUCK IT!! why do I want this??? CAUSE NORMAL FUCKIN SUCKS!!!

So you have got 'noticeable' strength gains

I've never got night sweats but I do sweat very quickly and easily as soon as I did anything remotely strenuous.

No sign of trensomnia yet?

im sleeping awesome, no insomnia, hot flashes, nothing. Im using kalpha

well, just got back from the gym. Kind of disappointed by the numbers i hit today.
deadlift- 455 2x3 1x2 (couldn't get the third, so lowered it to 405)
405 2x4
315- 2x7
leg press- 8 plates 4x8 (last set did 3 sets of rest pause)
seated row- 3x8-10
straight arm pulldown- 3x8-10
leg extension- 3x8-12
lateral raise- 4x8-10
seated curl machine- 5x8-10

really pissed about how low that deadlift weight it. i've deadlifted 525 just a couple weeks ago, if you put the 455x3 in a 1rm calculator it puts me at 492 pounds. (i know they arent 100% accurate, but its still disappointing)

I found if I tried to max out deadlift week in week out I didn't increase or even couldn't lift what could before

so lowered weight and done more reps or done 5x5 traning or my fave at moment pyramid up and down eddie hall style

and found an increase when finally went for the max lifts no more than once month
personally hit pb with 190kg yesterday but was just the one rep and didn't look the neatest lift but got it up

Would have to agree. l find that when going for strength gains it's the cns that needs recovery not just the muscles worked.

Might help to ease up every now and then.

im not doing anything less then a triple, and i'm controlling my volume on my real heavy sets. Only doing a few sets of 3-5 then a couple back off sets, then my accessories.
i agree the deadlift is not like the bench and squat where you need to feel that weight on your hands or on your back. Deadlift you can get away and actually make better progress doing "higher" reps and staying away from heavy singles.

Kalpa is good gear and you obviously know what you're doing so I'm sure you'll see some good progress real soon.

l only bang on about over training and sufficient rest because as I've got older I've realised how important it is and wish I'd listened to those who kept trying to tell me.
