PCT dosing after my first cycle

Good to know—thanks. Any more reliable tests you’d recommend? Also, my InBody lists SMM rather than LBM—does skeletal muscle mass include that extra water too?

Fair point. A 1:1 test/primo ratio isn’t common, but it worked out for me.

This is the typical “one step back” people talk about when they come off a cycle.

12 weeks will hold a lot of water—probably around 13 lb. Expect a big drop once you stop; that’s why many do blast-and-cruise.

You probably did gain some lean mass with proper training and nutrition, but I lose about 7–8 lb of water in the first three weeks after stopping. If you come fully off, expect that to be even more pronounced. It’s a bummer, but don’t freak out if it happens—keep eating and training and be ready for the next go if you choose to do it again.

I had an InBody tell me 7% bodyfat one week and 12% the next—12% was the realistic one. They’re flaky.

Totally expected that. I never thought I’d keep every gram from the cycle. Consistency matters more than a single run, and I’m pretty disciplined with training and diet. Appreciate the heads-up.

Yes. Labs and body composition reports often use those terms interchangeably—depends on what the report wants to call it.

Exactly. If you use bioelectrical impedance for comparisons, you must control all variables—test in the exact same state each time. Hydration differences change readings a lot.

Yeah, by all means cling to that water and keep the fake gains. The younger people start this, the longer the show lasts. Thanks for preserving social security, I guess.
