Cycle Week 4 Bloated as HELL!

**GGallin** · 11-12-2006, 10:03 PM

Ok I am 4 weeks into my Test E deca cycle. When I started I weighed 250, Last week I weighed 260, Now today I weighed myself and I weigh 269. Thats almost 20lbs in 4 weeks. I feel bloated and my lower back hurts, probably from the fast weight gain. I dont really look or feel fat persay just bloated. Could this be all water? I doubt I could have packed on 20lbs of fat or muscle in 4 weeks. Man I hate Deca and this is only my first cycle!

Yeah its water, happened to me bro. I gained all that water in first 4 weeks. After that i just slowely gained some pounds over the weeks. (i have 2 weeks left of test e cycle). Make sure to KEEP EATING tho since you weigh more you should eat more. The muscle gains will come but keep your diet big and training even harder. The water will go away when your all done after pct. And youll be left with the muscle you trained and ate for. Goodluck.

Oh and i think its the TEST bloating you moreso then the deca IMO.

GG, are you taking any AI's?...the use of a good AI could help combat some of your bloat...

**monstermasss** · 11-12-2006, 11:37 PM

adex bro hello!!!.25mg ed to adoid all that, do you research!

**GGallin** · 11-13-2006, 08:17 AM

Yes I reasearch. I knew I would bloat, I just didnt think it would be that much that fast. I should get some Ai's though for sure.

**geared9999** · 11-13-2006, 08:44 AM

What dose'es are you using??

**GGallin** · 11-13-2006, 10:35 AM

500mg test e and about 250mg deca ew. I do the inj sun morning and wed night. I was going mon morning and thur night but my girlfriend does my inj for me so I have to work around her schedule.

**guest589745** · 11-13-2006, 11:19 AM

Yer usin deca and test with no anti estrogen ?

**Laxplayer181** · 11-13-2006, 11:26 AM

Test E, from what I've read, is probably what is bloating you, like what Jman said.

**marcus300** · 11-13-2006, 11:38 AM

arimidex and what your sodium intake

**Vegas67** · 11-13-2006, 12:44 PM

Drink lots of water bro

**grvdigr1** · 11-13-2006, 03:18 PM

i hate deca , feel like hell everytime im on it and i bloat all over. i was told to take letro to help and ive done test only cycles with no bloat....i never use anti e's unless i start to feel sensitive nips....but thats just me..everyones different

**GGallin** · 11-13-2006, 09:15 PM

No anti E's here. My nplles feel ok so far. i dont think I am prone to gyno but I could be wrong. I guess I will get some anti e's if and when that happens. I dont honestly know my sodium intake which is bad. Although I dont use salt or eat many things that are high in sodium. And I am drinking a boat load of water every day. No body around me seems to notice my weight gain which is weird, however I do feel bloated at times, mainly at the end of the day. My morning weight today was 265. I am eating tons of food like chicken , oats and veggies etc as well as protien shakes up the ying yang so it could partially be from that.

**Maximus_Pecs** · 11-13-2006, 11:09 PM

I bloat badly with out letro.. Even with it I've gained about 5-10 lbs of water but mothing liek the 20-25 I gained on the last cycle.

**Maximus_Pecs** · 11-13-2006, 11:14 PM

Drinking lots of water makes a huge difference as well.

**cfiler** · 11-13-2006, 11:14 PM

I'd try adding a AI if you are worried about the bloat. If it doesn't bother you, then don't worry about it.

**Rye_guy** · 11-14-2006, 01:48 AM

aye arimidex will help wonders for the bloat... are you using anything at all?

**shrpskn** · 11-14-2006, 01:57 AM

He said he has no AIs on hand, but I thought a crardinal rule to most all cycles was to always have proper ancillaries on hand in the event that you may need them, rather than scrambling to get something when something goes wrong.
GG, if you don't have anything looking to become gyno, then the next best thing I could reccommend to you to get a hold of is a good AI like adex or aromasin ...that should help kill some of that water retention you've got.

Good luck,

***perfectbeast2001*** · 11-14-2006, 03:58 AM

very silly not to have any anti Es on hand mate. I'm fed up of seeing posts saying "im getting gyno and my anti Es are taking ages to arrive". Don't be one of those fools.

**1zach4** · 11-14-2006, 10:01 AM

this is a little off topic, but I noticed you are only injecting on the same 2 days of the week every week. I was doing this at first during my test E/deca cycle, but dosing protocol calls for every 3 days. With your split (and my old one also) the doses come at 3 and 4 days. Start rotating your injections every 3 days exactly and your levels will stay steady, possibly reducing some of the sides.

This means you might need to start injecting yourself, but I felt liberated by doing it myself because I always needed my GF before (she's a nurse). Also I noticed my lifts go up again about a week after starting to use correct injection times...maybe a coincidence, but maybe not.

**GGallin** · 11-14-2006, 10:10 AM

I have injected myself, but I prefer not to. I know I am stupid for having no anti E's. Well I will order some this week. Is there any good legal anti E's. I have heard of estroblock, or is that on the same level as Dekka and d-bol? I will most likely get arimidex .

**grvdigr1** · 11-15-2006, 08:07 AM

If you use letro for bloat, whats the dosage and how often?

**Maximus_Pecs** · 11-20-2006, 10:25 AM

I take between 1mg and 2.5mg of Letro either everyday or everyother day. That is higher then most but my body anything less and i bloat quite a bit.

**guest589745** · 11-20-2006, 10:29 AM

Dude, I am sorry but I have been reading your posts and you have truly ****ed up in so many ways. I would just stop and PCT ASAP. You don't even know what you are doing man, seriously. This shit is no joke, it's yer ****in life.

That dose would shut me down hard as libedo goes bro.

**plzr8** · 11-20-2006, 11:21 AM

what does you diet look like? i hope your not one of those fools that think "hey im on a bulking cycle, let me shovel pounds of sweets and junk food in my mouth cause its ok!"

and yes, get arimidex ...try it at .25mg/ED and bump up to .5mg/ED if need be

**briansauras** · 11-20-2006, 02:37 PM

seems alittle soon for that water retention/weight gain to be associated with your cycle. i think it has to do more with your diet.

**Mesomorphyl** · 11-20-2006, 02:41 PM

As stated above, drink more water and watch your sodium intake. Get an AI for bloat but I dont think you are running gear high enough for gyno... but everyone is different I suppose.

Agreed.

If the increase in water consumption doesnt help, invest in an AI.

Proviron 25-50mg/ED or EOD should help. Or Arimidex , Aromasin at a low dose. Too many people abuse AI's IMHO.
