So I obvIously We all know You lose weight when you come off, but why? Why in the sense of if I continue to eat the same caloric surplus why will I lose Weight? I understand The hormone support the increase muscle mass so I guess my real question would be where does the excess calories that was once adding weight go? That kind of Segways into my next question of I can Get fucking huge fast on high doses of test but when I go To cruise it’s almost like i just completely stopped gear lose a lot of size but I keep My strength, does someone else have this issue ? Because tbh it’s the reason I’ve pretty much been blasting for the past 4 years and now 1g of test is like bare minimum, I’m about to order and ton of growth and get on lantus with a cruise dose of test and hope but that’s my last hope.
When you come off high Test, one of the first things to go will be the water weight from your muscles. High Test makes your muscles hold more glycogen then normal. When you are not on High Test, your muscles hold a normal amount of glycogen, so you are carrying around less water and will be lighter.
If you eat at a caloric surplus, you can still gain weight (both muscle and fat) even if you are not on high Test. Your baseline will just be lower (i.e. if you drop from 230 to 200 from lowering Test, then 200 is your baseline weight). Comparing your high Test weight to your bulking normal/lower Test weight is not a good comparison.
And IMO, save the growth for when you are back on high Test. IIRC, studies showed that it does not increase muscle mass growth when you are not on AAS, though the other benefits are still there (hunger, better sleep, better skin, etc.).
