Hmm... weight gains on DBol stopped after 1 1/2 weeks

**AandF6969** · 08-31-2004, 05:03 PM

I'm on day 16 (Week 3 day 2) of my cycle of Test E 500mg/week and 50mg DBol ED and I gained about 8 lbs the first week and a half but d@mn it, for the past 4 or 5 days I havent gained a pound... I guess I'm just waiting for the test to kick in or maybe my diet is lacking?

I weigh 194 after the 8 lbs I gained, around 12% BF

Diet:
4000 clean calories/day, clean meaning no carbs/fats together. 2 cheat meals every 3 or 4 days. No cardio yet.

7 meals a day + glass of low carb milk and scoop of protein when I piss at night

TOTALS: 4000 calories, 113g fat, 460g protein, 300g carbs

I'm having a similiar problem, after 2 weeks have only gained 2 lbs. I guess were gonna have to eat more.

Dang bro 2 lbs? I had the same problem and am still fighting plateaus while on cycle... whenever I up the cals everything else goes up with it.

Drop the anti-es or up the calories.

Do you guys think when the Test kicks in itll bump me over this? It should happen between now and week 5...

At 194, I think that you need more than 4000 clean calories. In crease to 4500 and see what happens.

Aiiite, thanks bros. If I'm eating 4500 calories a day, consistently, would a cheat meal every few days benefit anything?

If you need a cheat meal then do it. While I'm bulking I'm always so stuffed I don't get any cravings. So unlike on a cutter, I never need a cheat meal on a bulker.

I agree, cheating your way to another 1,000 calories may make the difference. If some bloat/fat doesn't worry you much than do it. You are on a bulker I would assume. Some people have one cheat meal a day while on bulker cycles.

I agree you need more food, the 8 lbs you have gained is mostly intracellular fluid, meaning water inside your muscle, no actual growth of skeletal muscle took place yet well maybe 1/2 lb to 1 lb, so up your calories but do not drop your anti-E's as someone sudgested also make sure you get atleast 8 hours of sleep, if possible 10 hours will be even better, and make sure your workout ruitine is in check, nice slow negatives in a range of 3-4 seconds...that will do wonders...good luck...XXL
