water / fat gain on test E?

**CapnZ** · 07-26-2005, 09:03 AM

OK ready to start my test E cycle @ 500 mg / wk X 12 weeks. Will have nolva on hand during the cycle and PCT is in place.

my question - Do you gain a lot of water / fat during a cycle like this?
I read Hookers profile which indicates test actually helps burn fat, along with the strength / mass gains. Some folks I spoke with said its all about your diet / workout habits. I'm already eating super clean and have a good 6 day workout program in place I've been doing for a while now. Just really curious what to expect for water / fat gain. Was thinking I might run a low dose of Nolva during the cycel (10 mg / day) would that help? Thanks in advance.

If your gaining fat, your diet is f'd up, or your not doing enough cardio or working out hard/ofeten enough.
Water gain is normal and will dry out during pct.

Not sure about the ability of Test E to burn fat (i'll leave that to Hooker to answer). I know that AAS help you to put on more muscle mass which will naturally rebalance your muscle/fat ratio in favour of muscle. Also if you want to loose fat you need to keep your w/o intense with the minimum amount of rest in between sets.

Also it would be wise to run some Nolva (10-20mg ed) during cycle. This will help to keep estrogen in check and reduce water retention.

Thanks guys - I plan to run nolva thru the cycle @ 10 mg / day and up it to 20 mg day for PCT. Currently doing cardio 3 x week Along with lifting schedule. Was planning to cut cardio to 2x week during cycle and lift 4 days with 60 sec between sets. Keep the workouts intense and in the 45 - 50 min range.
