Didn't go to the gym for a month
« on: January 15, 2012, 06:53:42 AM »
Lost A LOT of strength. I squatted 315 for 25 before I went home for the holidays, struggled with 315 for 5 yesterday. Feels bad, man. :( On the upside, though, I never missed an injection in that one month period!

Any of you guys experienced this shit? How long until your strength came back?

Ah it was only 100 mg tren and 50 mg test prop EOD, no biggie. I got a lot leaner and bigger, so I guess it wasn't a waste of gear.

Well, I guess I didn't get bigger, I lost weight, but I LOOK bigger because I'm leaner.

Oh I should mention I also used gh at 5 iu/day... lol

Why do you wanna squat for so many reps ?  You just have to look like you can....

Ok, but why you didn't go to the gym at least 1-2 times per week? it makes a difference

I think Stavios said his legs got a lot bigger from higher reps, so I tried it, and it worked for me too. I try to be in the 20+ rep range on everything with legs now.

I'd have to walk an hour there and back in the cold, by the time I'd get there I'd be tired as fuck. ;D

You dont actually need to lift to make muscle gain on tren. You won't make the maximum gains you could, but you will make gains.

Note: all drugs.

Usually for me, for short to medium breaks, 1/2 the length of the break is spent getting back to pre-break levels. So, for a month, 2 weeks.

That being said, that's for maximal strength,  endurance takes a bit longer.

I've been slacking for the last couple of weeks due to a shoulder injury and other stuff. I go once a week do a little pump workout. If it wasn't for the gear (which i've kept consistent) i would look like i've never lifted a day in my life. I'm giving it a couple weeks more. After that im lifting no matter what.

I haven't been training in the best part of 6 months due to a neck injury and I'm more or less the same muscularity just not as full.

I've never taken more than a week off unless really sick in the last 5 years. I get depressed and feel like shit If I don't go. I love it to much! I can understand if you have to walk an hour to the gym that would suck.

After a long lay off, I find leg strength comes back quicker than other body parts.

You might be surprised how many you get with 315 the next work out.
