Post cycle- lost 10 pounds in a month

[sflobo]

I just finished my first cycle. 500 test e for 12 weeks. I am 6'3 and on the last day of my cycle, I weighed 228. Now a month later I'm only 218. I've been working out hard and taking 20mg of Nolva everyday for PCT. Do you think it's water weight or muscle? I appreciate any help!

[RoidGut]

yup....most likely a loss of water and a bit of fat. How have you been training since you came off of your cycle? what did you weigh befor you started?

[Seattle Junk]

Go by the mirror, tape measure and your strength. Not your body weight.

[sflobo]

I was at 215 before I started. I've been training hard since I came off. Haven't noticed much loss in strength. I'm just scared that I'm loosing my gains.

So you put on a total of 3 lbs.Did you monitor your BF as well?If you lost considerable BF,then the cycle was successful.Otherwise,well,not so good for a 12 week run.

like Seattle said...don't rely too much on the scale...can be vary misleading cuz it does not take into account the change in body composition. But from what you said your starting weight was, I am really surprised that you only gained 13 lbs on your first cycle. I am wondering if your diet may have been lacking. What was your bf% befor and after?

Might be water, might be muscle, like they said look in the mirror and get out a tape and measure your body parts. Are you over training now that youre in PCT? I would suggest trying to eat more calories during PCT than when on cycle too. In the future, I would suggest running clomid and nolva during PCT, just not nolva, however, lots of people have different opinions on this

You mentioned you were taking nolva for PCT at 20mg ed. What about clomid? clomids much more important than nolva for PCT. If your natural test levels arent back to normal you'll lose muscle.

[sflobo]

I only gained 13 pounds on my first cycle but I did loose a significant amount of body fat. I'm much leaner and more muscular that I was before my cycle.

I started out using QV 250 and to be honest I'm not sure if that stuff was even working. The second half of my cycle I switched to Brovel Test E 200 and it seemed to work better.

sflobo, you do know that Test can take 4 to 6 weeks to kick in?
