I am 3 months into a 4 month 500mg test/500mg eq cycle. I gained 16 pounds right quick in the first 2 months, and went from 192lbs to 208lbs. Awesome! But, it stopped there. I am doing everything I can, eating my little face off. I am eating every 2-3 hours, and eating big; desserts, fried food, McDonalds, and, well, you get the picture. I am at the point where I feel like I might puke several times a day from being so full. And still, no gains.
So, is this normal? After 2 months, does your body stop gaining muscle and start leaning out perhaps? I feel a tad leaner. Or do I need to push it to the limits, and start drinking mass amounts of oil in my shakes or something?
I am very happy to spend the final month of my cycle cutting carbs and trying to lean out, because as you can see I could lose some fat, but the guy I get my stuff from tells me test and eq is for mass gains and to keep bulking for now.
So, 2 questions:
1. Is it normal for a body to stop responding even if you increase calories massively? Does a body simply get to a point where it decides to stop or perhaps start losing fat?
2. Is it smart at this point to cut carbs and lean out for the last month of the cycle?
Thanks!
