How to cut down water retention?

**cforn** · 01-30-2006, 08:15 PM

I'm starting a cycle of Test E and I read that I should expect alot of water retention. Any suggestions on how to minimize/reduce?

Thanks

Watch your Sodium intake and get some Ancillaries

What is Ancillaries?

If you need to ask all of these ?'s bro honestly you should spend a little more time researching.

Do you know what PCT is?

Depending on how high your dose of test E is, anything under 500mgs/week doesn't gicve you alot of bloat. Go with 10-20mgs/day of nolva througout and your set.

Bro, how much test are you planning on running and for how long?

**cforn** · 01-30-2006, 08:38 PM

Running 300 mg for 12 wks.

Why

300mgs/week seems kinda low bro. I would up that to atleast 500mgs/week to see any real results, i think you'll be disapointed with 300mgs/week. At 300mgs/week you wouldn't need nolva that's for sure, there wouldn't be much test converting to estrogen at 300mgs/week.

Instead of posting 100 threads on the same topic,why not just send Jay a PM?After all,it's his advice you are seeking...makes sense to me..saves board space as well...

I prefer the Hotels that you pay for by the hour. In and out, more convenient.

I dont think you really need "any" anti-e's at 500 mg or less, and reality is, for most of us, when we "think" we are doing 500 mg, we are really doing 400 mg - especially if its mexican or underground lab testosterone .

Think of it this way, unless you are going for the 1000 mg per week, your water retention is rarely ever more then 5 lbs "and" water retention is actually one of the primary mechanisms that steroids use to make you gain muscle mass. Trying to defeat ALL of the water gain is going to cause you to gain NOTHING in your cycle. Dont worry about it, the water only smooths over your abs and muscle threads for a short period of time, after cycle it all drops off you FAST - like in 2 or 3 weeks. Go ahead and allow the 5 lbs water gain or else maybe you should consider staying natural and stay off the roids.

I dont agree with this statement at all. I bloated a lot on Test Enan 500mg/wk.

**DNA** · 01-31-2006, 03:58 PM

I liked nolva proviron combo during my TestE/ Deca cycle. 10 mg daily Nolva and 50mg daily Proviron. Helped alot with bloat but I think a change in diet is the main factor

Try to avoid sauces, salsas and food containing sodium.

***SPIKE*** · 01-31-2006, 04:07 PM

The truth of the matter is that we all react differentely. Some may bloat others wont hold an ounce, and that is regardless of dose. I for one can run a gram a week of test and never hold any water. Actually to be quite honest with everyone my next cycle contains an AI and it will be my first run with one. That way I can speak from experience and see how shredded I can really get on a long ester

**cfiler** · 01-31-2006, 04:14 PM

Sticking with 300mgs per week is perfectly fine. I wouldn't expect alot of bloat, if any... use nolva through-out the cylce to prevent bloat.

**Anabolic CEO** · 01-31-2006, 04:22 PM

I used 200mgs a week of Test Cyp and took Nolva at 10mgs an still had some bloat, but just keep the water intake up. The more water you consume the less your body will hold it. More water = Less Water.
