water retention's effect on strength

**testosterona** · 09-22-2005, 11:18 PM

water retention has an effect on strenth while on cycle, i know. i'm in the first wk of test e 600mgs a wk with .25mg letro ed to stay dry. My question is, how much will staying dry on cycle effect my strength and will it be harder on my joints. Last cycle i blew up like a balloon so i'm trying to avoid the notorious dissapearing jaw line. Thanks fellas, any opinions or experiences would be helpful

I believe water retention has a huge effect on strength, just look at what d-bol will do for you. Im taking .25 a-dex and im doing great. Although i think im getting the flu. And yea all my joints hurt.

the water retention def helps me with strength..i actually dropped my anti-es 2 weeks ago..i feel much better..still have them on hand but if i get to bloated i take a water tab..personally i use bumex and no face bloat if i use once week

bumex is a patassium sparing diuretic..only available with a script though..i dont see it on to many guys lists these days..try the letro but keep to a min..i was using way to much before and have dropped it and strength is through the roof..i do hold a little more water but like i said not to much in my face

perhaps instead of taking an AI you would be better off using a SERM like nolva. 10mg ed throughout the cycle should permit. I don't think 10mg ed will eliminate the water retention, but it would definitley help control estrogen levels.
