I know intensity should be kept rather on the lighter side on PCT, as in not going to failure at least each set, but how long should this be practiced?
I'm going to ending my first cycle (PH) in about a week, which is a 7 week cycle.
Do you take it easy for the whole 4 weeks? 3 weeks? 1 week? I understand that each person is different and would optimally have different times where they can resume normal intensity, but whats the average (your) time down?

I keep lifting heavy and lighten volume (less sets), so that I'm done in about half an hour. Sometimes, taking 5-7 days off if you crash is a good idea, IMO. I slowly work back up to higher volume, but I don't go for hour long workouts during the first 4 weeks of pct. What works seems to vary a lot between individuals.
