    Steroid cycle help:22 lbs gain in two weeks

    Hello all, currently doing the following cycle:

    Test E: Weeks 1-10 600mg PW
    Tren E: Weeks 1-10 400mg PW
    Dbol 10: Weeks 1-4 40mg every day

    I've just weighed myself this morning at the end of the second week and I've somehow put on 22 lbs in that time (and that's without the test/then kicking in) should I be concerned at this dramatic weight gain? I know the vast majority will be water weight I'm currently taking arimidex at 1mg E3D however I'm still obviously very bloated any suggestions?

    What happened on your first few cycles in relation to weight gain?

    How have you come to that dose of arimidex , it's a lot?

    Also, you're only 20yrs old.
    I would seriously reconsider what you are doing....

    What are your stats?

    My previous cycles have only been for cutting purposes after a bulk, this is my first cycle I'm doing to add mass so I can't give you an answer, in regards to the Adex, I started at 0.5 e3d however it didn't help the bloat, so ive only recently bumped the dosage

    I am fully aware of the risks (I'm 21 in a couple of weeks)
    What are your stats?
    Start:
    170 lbs
    Body fat:unsure but very lean I'd say just below 10%
    5.8ft

    Current:
    194 lbs

    You are running over a gram a week of gear and you are 20yrs old and 170lbs.
    Too much gear.
    Too young.

    I am sure you know but your 24lbs of gains are 90% water.

    Hope you are ready for Low Testosterone after your cycle. This is going to be brutal for your HPTA man, not worth it

    Dbol can rapidly add weight in some people. I've seen 30lbs in 6 weeks, but you can bet your butt that's 90%water because no one can add that much lbm in that short amount of time. You don't need that much armidex. If you do to combat the sides, I would switch your AI because dex is not a very healthy AI to be honest with you. And it even sounds like it might be fake, which is a rarity with armidex. If it's legit, that dose will wreck your lipids and hurt your joints. Make sure you are staying on top of your blood pressure because that much water retention can raise it to dangerous levels. Bloodwork would be great if it's something you can get done while "on", if it doesn't get you in trouble. And you might want to try to give aromasin a try. I don't like recommending letro, but I've seen some cases that letro was the only feesible option to use. Mostly in guys that have more body fat than they should have while running steroids . Stay on top of your heath!

    Curious why u think this? He's 21.. the doses are a little high but not crazy. Shit test, tren , dbol .. great cycle if u ask me. Only thing I'd knock on this cycle is tren ace is better if this is ur first run with tren, not sure if it is but some guys get bad sides from tren.

    His HPTA and hormones are still developing, by running a cycle at his age he's screwing that up to put it simply. Any 19nor (Tren /Deca ) shutdown is brutal and is extremely hard on recovery, much worse than test.

    DBol gains are always 90% water too, he made this post because he was concerned with all the water weight gain...not because he added 22lbs of lean muscle in 2weeks

    I was/am taking BP supps though (celery seed extract, garlic, magnesium, etc)

    99 for a systolic reading isn't bad, it's a little low but I suspect that's from BP supplements.

    I went from 213lbs to 220lbs in 12 hours. Then I took a giant shit and piss, dropped back to 212lbs in 15 minutes. Always was better at cutting than bulking.

    We preach safe AAS use here including trying to talk down a young man whose brain and endocrine system are not nearly done developing - ask yourself why give 'that's a great cycle' advice to someone asking about water weight and doesn't know the ins and out of cycling yet... Tren not even needed! It's real with really harsh sides if not done safely

    Sounds reasonable. I guess. Maybe. Not. Nope

    They call that, "Bullshit".
    It comes in many varieties of overemphasis and sometimes just outright lies like in this instance.
    In particualar, I notice this individuals "bullshit" and have come to the conclusion that he is young not just physically but mentally as well.

    We believe you gained the weight that fast but it was 90% water weight. Literally impossible to put on actual muscle that fast.

    Well if it was muscle memory then why say the dbol did it????

    I cut for powerlifting meets and can gain back 8 lbs in as day but I am not going to say that my daily Centrum multivitamin put it back on me.

    Ever heard of gycorgen retention? Also known as gycorgen storage. That's what it sounds like to me....
