I’m almost ready to start (should be arriving Friday, will start monday).
Before I ask this, I have to admit that I am a fool for not researching this beforehand. I tried now, and couldn’t find a reliable source of information on the matter.
By how much should your intensity in the gym (weight and reps) decrease during the weeks following a cycle (during PCT) to prevent the catabolic monster and retain the majority of your gains.
Train with the same weight you were using, but reduce volume.
Breaking down muscle at this point is useless as you will lack the ability to mend it, and the ability to grow.
The main focus is retaining as much of the muscle size and neuro muscular connection.
Since no matter whether on aas or not, your body grows in cycles, and training always occurs in cycles.
All you do is match your ‘peak training’ to your AAS cycle to maximize growth, and when you go off, that is your maintainance or ‘resolution’ stage.
Rest up, recover both mentally and physically, recharge and prepare yourself for the next training cycle.
Almost everything in life is cyclical and so too is bodybuilding.
I will add that it is good to loose a little, as recovering muscle memory at the begining of your next training phase provides training ‘momentum’ to catapult yourself past your previous best form.
If someone was doing your test taper, would you slack the training during the 6 week 100mg period, or only when going in the actual taper 80,60,40,20 mg part?
