6 weeks into cycle and gains have stopped

[bpm1]

im in the middle of a 500mg per wk of test c (split 1/2 mon , 1/2 thurs) and i gained 15lbs the first 3 weeks, and since then nothing. is this pretty normal or what.i now weigh 240lbs, i think my diet is good close to 4000 calories 400gms of prot, 90gms of fat, 300 gms of carbs. any input would be great the first three weeks were a trip but since then blahhh( even my sex drive has tapered a bit i only want it 4 times a day instead of 6 )

The early gains were mostly water. Muscle takes longer to develope.
Increase your cals, as you grow bigger you need more cals to maintain size let along grow more.

Im on a cycle of test right now, and the same thing happened around week
5-6. I just couldnt get past 207. This started to piss me off so I just started eatingmore and bigger meals. Then, around week 7 or so my weight started to increase once more and has been pretty conistant. Im currently on week 9 and at 210. So, I did gain another 3lbs. Im hopnig when Its all said and done I gain at leat another 2lbs. So, increase the cals and if that doesn't work, increase the cals again!

Good call on that, I agree, I never liked the early water but the good thing is as the cycle goes on the best is yet to come.

as most said, most likely need to increase your calories. also, have you increased your intensity and/or volume of your workouts since you started the gear yet? you can't keep doing the same workouts you do off-cycle and expect amazing gains. since the gear helps you recover faster, you have to push yourself that much harder to speed up your growth.

i find increasing my volume is a better approach when bulking, as increasing your intensity can lead to overloading your cns and overtraining. after all, the gear will help your body recover from the sets, but doesn't do much for your cns which you put a strain on with extremely intense workouts. just increase your volume 1 extra set per bodypart and then after a week or two, maybe even add on one more.

I am experiencing the same damn problem right now!!! I have increased the cals immensely to the point that it seems like the only thing I do all day is eat. I am almost getting sick of eating. Strength is through the roof!!! Over the last two weeks I have really increased the cals and as of today, the weight is up two pounds so EAT EAT EAT!!!
