Keeping Gains

[Buildinthaskinnys]

I asked a similar question before and it got moved, and i never got the response I was looking for. My question now is this, about how much solid muscle is actually gained after a moderate cycle, months after proper pct?

Depends what meds are used etc
Too many factors.

You can keep a great amount of what you gain if you continue to diet,train and supplement correctly AFTER cycle. a solid PCT is VERY important as well.

Everyone is different, and it also depends on what type of cycle you did.
It also depends on how much actual muscle mass vs water you gained during the cycle.

Make sure you keep your protein intake high, it will help maintain what you gained.

Once you understand all the factors involved in actually building solid lean mass you will begin to answer your question.

In reality, for real actual lean tissue gained, maybe 2-4 lbs. This is taking water, fat, blood volume out of the equation. 2-4 lbs of solid lean muscle mass!!! Plain and simple. Again, many factors rely on this result. Type of compounds used, diet, training, water intake, cardio etc. Then of course we have the ever present......Genetic ability to build lean mass. Yes all of these are either limiting or gaining factors, But 2-4lbs would be a reasonable estimate.

Its incredible how overblown steroids effects are, but worse even, some of the claims that supplement companys make. To build 5 pounds of muscle in 6 months is a pretty amazing feat considering that if you started training at a weight of 150 lbs that means in a matter of 6 or 7 years you would be at contest weight of 210-220. , which is enough to stand on the olympian stage. I would be happy gaining a pound of muscle every month because on my small frame it seems like a huge amount, if I gained 20 pounds of muscle in 10 weeks my body would probally explode!
