Pct Workout

[panasonicbike]

I was planning to do heavy weights and low reps for my pct workout. Like 8-10 sets big muscles 6-8 smaller ones and rep between 6-8. Wanted to see what others thought about this and what worked for other people

I don't like this strategy: when I do PCT, I always change up my workout to go to a higher rep range (12-15). This tends to help me avoid noticing any decline in strength, so I don't have to worry about a psychological 'downer'. Other adjustments I like to make during and immediately after PCT include reducing the overall volume of my workout by a couple of sets, and adding an additional rest day to my training split. This helps to make sure you're not overtraining while your body's own test production gets up to speed.

I generally cut back a little when I get off cycle. If I keep training hard I am proned to pulling muscles until my body gets back to normal (about 5-6 weeks) after my last shot. Then I start training normal again. Now I also train heavy when I am on, so backing off to me is doing sets in the 8-10 range instead of the 2-5 with heavy weights. I always feel dehydrated when I come off cycle and it takes me a little while to feel normal again.
