How much gains can you keep after a pct?

When I've researched this I've found so many different answers. Some people say they've been able to maintain most of their gain, some say they've maintained about half after coming off, and some people say you will lose all your gains eventually and the only way to maintain is by B&C. For those who have or still do cycle, what has your experience been?

Years ago, when I did my first cycle and actually PCTd, felt like I kept most of them. It was my first cycle when I was ~21. Then life came at me fast and I stopped lifting for over a decade. When I hopped back on, its been blast and cruise for about 4 years now.

PCT? Must be 2012 again
..thank goodness.

But on a more serious note, you're not going to keep much beyond your natural limit long term. It'll fade eventually. That's why most guys commit to TRT at the least if not light blasting and cruising. If you're just trying to get up to your natural limit more quickly, you might keep some of that

it varies too much person to person. so to try and explain MY situation, or anyone else's
would just be a moot point. you just need to find out what happens to you.

also too many factors in the equation. but the best thing i can say is, keep up (or even go harder) intensity
will help loads in holding on to gains.
