Expect to feel "off." Your energy levels will be lower, your libido might be non-existent, and you'll likely be a bit emotional. This is normal. It's your body recalibrating. The key is to not freak out. Trust the process and stick to your protocol.

You will lose some of the "on-cycle" strength and fullness. This is primarily water weight and glycogen. It is not muscle. Don't get discouraged by this. Your job is to train smart, eat well, and retain the actual muscle you gained.

Prepare for your training to be less exciting. You won't be hitting PRs every week. The focus should be on consistency and making it to the gym. Your strength will come back over time. Don't get down on yourself.

Also, expect to have an easier time managing your body fat. Your appetite will likely decrease, and you won't have the hormonal drive to eat everything in sight. Take this as a win and use it to your advantage.

I think the most important thing is to have a plan. Don't wing it. Have your SERM on hand, know your doses, and have a training and diet strategy. The more prepared you are, the less stressful it will be.

So, to sum it up: it's not going to be a fun phase, but it's a necessary one. Be prepared for the physical and mental changes, have a plan, and trust that your body will recover.
