As its hitting the holidays, with poor weather and poor gym time avalibility, I am about to hit my PCT. What would PCT be like if i just didn't workout as often (maybe some home workouts) during the last 3 weeks of december? It's not like my body will have alot of muscle building going on anyways?
I am just curious about opinions.

So your just lookign to maintain? You should be fine.
i'd still train during pct. 3-4 times a week, shorter trainings with heavy weights. LOt of rest/sleep, good luck

my logic is this; I have **** all for testosterone so why break down muscle during those weeks? why not just take it easy, continue to eat right, do a bit of cardio and let my body rest?
I aint looking to gain, but maintain would be nice.

I'd definitely workout/eat but do a full body split to maintain..

Without overtraining (which is easier during PCT), if you don't use it, you'll lose it..
You need to give your body a reason to hold on to this extra muscle mass which your body would rather not have to maintain..

Thats my advice aswell.. IMO thats why you see so many guys that cycle and get no where.. they train while they are on, then when they come off they slack.. then repeat the process..

Just because your body is recovering, that doesn't mean you should do piss all. Why else would your body have any reason to maintain sheaths of muscle acquired through the use of performance enhancing drugs? Because it is your will to be big and heavily muscled? No sir, hit the gym. Even if it's just to get a good pump and promote "active recovery".
Do some cardio, moderate workouts with relatively heavy weights and get'r done lower volume. When you're feeling like your body has braved the post-cycle shit storm, throw on a pair of shit boots and hit the weights progressively harder.
