Question about the first weeks of a cycle
I got off a cycle of test cyp and had some good gains. I came off the cycle taking 2 weeks of nothing and 10 days of HCG followed by one more week of nothing. I kept my gains and started the next cycle. It seems that just this week I’m losing mass. This cycle I increased the test cyp, added deca and nolvadex. I leaned out a little during the off cycle while keeping my mass (watched fat intake), but now, it appears that I'm losing mass. I'm eating tons and may be over training. I've lost an inch on my biceps.
Does it take 4 weeks for the cycle to kick in like the first one did?
Could it be that I lost water from the addition of nolvadex and just appear smaller?
I can't be dysmorphic because the tape speaks for itself. I'm going to weigh myself tonight.
36, 180 pounds, 5'10", b/f ?
1st cycle was 200 mg test cyp, kept 12 pounds through the end of the off cycle and through the first 2 weeks of this new cycle.
This cycle is 300 mg Test/300 mg Deca per week. Saturday injecting test, Wednesday injecting Deca. 10 mg nolvadex ed. 110 grams optimum nutrition whey protein (five shakes) in addition to my food every day. Shakes are about every 2.5 hours and right before bed. I took Hydroxycut for the first two weeks of this cycle and am just starting the third week; third deca shot coming up this Wednesday.
Suggestions? Thoughts?

Let me see if I've got this right: you came off your last cycle, waited 1 month w/ no clomid or arimidex but used HCG, and then started a new cycle? Did you have any bloodwork drawn before starting this one? I'm just trying to see if I got it straight, that's all bro ;)
The answer to your first question is yes. That or longer (deca doesn't hit me strong for 5-6 weeks). It is likely that you never fully recovered from the first cycle.
2. It's possible, but in your arms? that would be kinda wierd, eh? a whole inch? I kind of doubt it anyway. Are you sure you measured in the same spot, same time, same conditions-- same everything?
