Am I Doing Something Wrong!?

At the beginning of last October I started my very first cycle for eight weeks. I was 165lbs, 5'9, looking to bulk up. I ran

300mg Test E weeks 1-6
375mg Test E weeks 1-8
10-20mg Nolvadex ed

Clomid 2weeks

I gained almost 15 lbs in the first 4 weeks! I quit my cycle at the beginning of December and I started up again at the beginning of February. This time

Week 1 165mg Test e
Week 2-3 330mg Test e
Week4-6 450mg Test e
Nolvadex 20mg ed

I felt weak and tired the first month, unlike my first cycle. I was not gaining nearly as fast as my first cycle, ( if any at all!).

I added oral Winny 50mg ed and have been taking it for a week now, and I feel very energized! But still, not much gain!!

Today I found that I have gained only 3 pounds of muscle, and 2 pounds of body fat in the last 2 months.

Am I doing something wrong?! Everything is covered, sleep 8 hours daily, eating 300-400g protein a day, INTENSE training!!!!
Just wondering if my gear is bunk, or if this is normal for a second cycle?

Can I take winny during pct with clomid and nolv??

Do you know for a fact you're eating that much protein, or are you estimating?

you need to do some searches of example cycles. NO do not take winni during pct!
do not pyramid doses either

i agree with flabby wussy dont pyramid, you should try and go for a 12 week cycle

Dont use pyramid and get more calories in you. You hafto eat big to be big.

More carbs and fats if you're getting that much protein in... also post up your workouts for critique.

Those are some pretty bad cycles. There's no reason to pyramid, and the test e wont kick in for the first few weeks. The 15lbs you gained so early on was probably mostly water weight. Are you actually eating 300-400g of protein or are you just guessing. How many meals a day do you eat, and how often do you work out? Don't think the gear is bunk, otherwise you woudn't have put on that water weight.

None of my habits from my first cycle have changed. I eat exactly the same ( if not more) and inject weekly. Everything to a "t" is exact, I just want to know why I gained so much water weight on my first cycle, and none on my second?
