    Upping Test or add deca?

    I am 5'8, 297lbs, I have been training 9 years and I am 23 yo. I have done two cycles.

    Cycle 1:
    wk 1-4 dbol 15mg ed
    wk1-10 test en 500mg (split in two doses)

    Cycle 2:
    wk 1-4 dbol 30mg ed
    wk1-12 test en 500mg (split into two doese)

    I was wondering whether I should use more test in my next cycle or add deca or even sust. I am cutting dbol because of extreme water retention and fat gain. Which of these two cycles looks to be the better idea.

    Cycle A:
    wk 1-4 anavar ?mg
    wk 1-12 test en 750 mg (spit into 3 doses)

    Cycle B:
    Wk 1-4 anavar ?mg
    wk 1-4 sust 250mg
    wk 1-12 deca 200mg
    wk 1-12 test en 500mg

    I gained 17lbs off the first cycle. I didn't lose anything over PCT. My second cycle ended 2 weeks ago and I am started PCT as of monday. I have gained 21 lbs. (much better diet than last cycle). It worked great. I had issues with the dbol and unbelievable amounts of water gain. My arms went from 19 and 3/8'' to 20 and 1/2''. Forearms are now over 17''. I put 300 pounds on my leg press. My push press went from 335 to 405. Hammer curl from 100lb db to 130lb dbs. SQ/BP/DL had significant gains. My 40 yd time went from 4.99s to 4.87s. It worked great.
    One thing that my doctor and I can't figure out is my body fat %. It was possibly wrong before my cycle started. I was supposedly at 22% and now I should be at 11-13% consider the lean mass I gained, but it is 17.7%. We aren't sure what is up with that end of things.

    OK skipp, well personally your cycle B sucks

    what are your goals for the next cycle?

    Jump start with whatever you want, but there is NO need for sust AND test E since they are the SAME thing just different esters, so WHY would you feel the need to put your body through that??


    I would suggest

    weeks -1-12 Test E @ 500mgs
    weeks 1-10 Deca @ 400mgs

    Actually roidattack, There is no way I have 11% body fat. I was saying that with the amount of weight I gained that I should be at 11% given my current weight. I am not sure about bf% before cycle, but it is something like 18%.
    My goal for the next cycle is to gain lean muscle, while I up the cardio a bit. My previous routine has been 9 day trainging weeks. 3 days powerlifting, 3 days oly lifting, 1 day strongman equipment with two days off. ANd I would do sprints 1-2 days a week with 2 other days of plyos. So what I have been doing this past cycle was really not expected to burn fat. Simply to become more explosive, stronger, and develop a larger work capacity.
    This next cycle I'd like to carry out I'll be doing a half hour of cardio on a bike a day, along with walking. My lifting goal is to do basic body building lifts to build overall endurance for PL season. I figure using deca with test would be the way to go. and I know to keep the deca lower than the test. I am just trying to figure out whether I should up the test, whether it matters what I kick start with and whether there is not something I missing, whatever it might be.

    Bro, I'm having trouble here. Even at a 20%bf, at 5'8" and 297lbs, you could be a pro. That's bigger than 99% of the guys here. Do you have any pics man, cuz I'd love to see it?

    I'll get pick posted in the next two weeks. My access to web cams are limit.
    I could be a pro? Pro what? I'm a powerlifter. I've always been fairly big. Every time I give my stats with a question there is so much interest in my 5'8 300lb status @ 23 yo. Fact of the matter is I was 5'8 260 @ 20-21% bf w/ 812SQ-535BP-595DL (single ply) before I used juice. I'm just trying to learn about this stuff as best as I can before I use particular compounds and chemicals.
    BTW How did I get so big and lean? I have a belly. 18% is not that lean. But thanks for the compliment.LOL

    20%bf at 297lbs, gives you a LBM of about 240lbs. At 5'8", that rivals the top bb competitors.
