I think I stoped gaining

**iggyh28** · 12-20-2006, 09:32 AM

Im in week 10 of test-e 600mg and deca 300mg per week and I have gained a prety solid 15 pounds (I say solid becouse I dont think I have much water retainage and I have a scale that also reads water % and its been steady (Arimadex .25 ED))but I got there by week 8 and cant seem to gaine any more. I got 3 more weeks left but only with the test-e and I was hoping to gain 5 more. Do you think if I eat more it would happen or do think thats it for this cycle??

Depends on what your current diet looks like...post it up.

Caloric deficiency can and does hinder gains under most circumstances.

Well lets say you were 185 you added 15lbs now your 200...

So your maintence cals/daily cals etc would need to be adjusted for a person who is 200 lbs...

as sharp said

post your current diet layout.

My tipical day looks like this:

1. 10-12 eggs one yoke bole of oatmeal with water and banana (1 cup of
orange juice with vit. c in it)
2. Protien shake with cereal in it (wholw wheat)
3. Footlong chiken breast sandwich from subways (wholw wheat)
4. Chiken breast with white rice and black beans or 8 once sirloin from
Boston market with vegies and mash potato
5. Bowl of oatmeal with banana and protien shake (Pre workout meal)
6. Protien shake with banana (Post workout meal)
7. Chiken breast with white rice and black beans
8. Protien shake with whole wheat cereal and two table spoons of penut
butter

This is what I try to eat and I acomlish it 80 % of the time because of my job. Forgot to mention that I dont want to gain fat I want muscle. My body fat has staid the same throut the cycle.

Thanks.

Well its hard to give u proper feedback with out macros= cals pro carbs fat per meal..

but right away i can see you have way to many shakes and no healthy sources of fats.

Also your doubling carbs in most of your meals.. rice and beans...

Anyone else have any other thoughts

**BITTAPART2** · 12-20-2006, 12:27 PM

well i dont think you HAD to have gained much fat, we are all very different in that some will respond better or worse to certain carbs/fats lack of either abundance of either etc. MOST people would gain some slop w/ that diet. It can definatly be improved on a lot IMO. the calories should be getting ramped up now that you have gained the weight, my suggestion is to slowly add calories to your diet, although I would try to get them from whole food sources and EFA's such as almonds/peanut butter/salmon/olive oil/flax oil
