I can gain weight in PCT but its all fat... thats for me anyway.. I try to keep up the cals but not go so high I start to gain fat... is this optimal.. I dunno..

yes maybe it's just fat...but my sex drive is on the roof this means i had a good recovery and maybe thats one of the reasons im gaining weight?

Briefly list what you ended with (cycle wise) and what your PCT is and when you started it.

Have you upped kcals or changed your routine at all?

YES bro last 2 weeks i've changed my routine to a 3 day all body workout split...this is because i'll be training for MMA (wrestling mainly) and i dont want to overtrain and lose muscle, also i've upped my calories right when i started pct and before that i was cutting up a little...i ended my cycle with winny tabs 50 mg per day and it was a sust eq cycle... my pct started with 5000 IU of hcg the last week of winstrol and then clomid at 100mg for 10 days then 50 mg for 15 days..im on 50 mg right now, also im using vit c, b and zinc i already listed the doses in my foirst post...i hope ythis can be helpful to figure out why im gaining weight instead of mantaining it or losing it...thanks

The answer to your question is in your response.

When you were "cutting" I"m sure you were on a restricted caloric diet and now that you've upped you kcals you can be putting on some weight from the change. Plus when most people run a cutting diet they tend to cut down on carbs. Now that I"m sure you upped them you're going to hold more water. Carbs are the heaviest macro b/c they hold so much water.

So the change in diet plus upping the kcals are probably where the weight gain is coming from........
