Week 9 First cycle....Update on cycle with some questions

[mustanglover001]

I am on week nine of my first cycle of 250mg x 2 a week of test e. I am 5'10'' and had a start weight of 182 at 10% bodyfat. I am now at 206 with roughly 12% bodyfat. Below is a brief rundown of the cycle so far and at the end I have added some questions..

Weeks 1 & 2 -Massive water weight gained (approx. 12 pounds). Gyno symptoms arose at the end of the second week.

Week 3 -Started to take arimidex at 0.50mg a week to combat gyno symptoms. Symptoms dissappeared after a couple days. Bloat slowly disapaited throughout the week, while weight remained the same.

Weeks 4 & 5 -Weight stayed the same, only strength gains.

Weeks 6,7,8 - Gained 12 pounds more, strength way up and almost no bloat.

I was planning on only doing 10 weeks, but I am still gaining weight at the beginning of week 9, should I push the cycle to 12 weeks?

Should I continue to take the arimidex throughout PCT?

Since I have no bloat since taking the arimidex, how much of the 24 pounds gained so far do you think is water weight? Does that determine how much is lost after cycle?

Thanks for the replies.

i like 12 week cycles with long esters like test c and test e... some might opt for the 10 week, but i say go 12 if your still growing. what all do you plan on useing for pct?

Twelve weeks is fine. Losses post cycle are attributable to many factors, including dedication to PCT, dedication to routine and amount of water weight, which you'll lose. MY guess is that you'll probably lose at least ten llbs.

My PCT consists of the standard 40,40,20,20 of nolva. Should I continue with the arimidex throughout PCT?

i think you should run aromasin during PCT along with your nolva..and run your cycle to 12 weeks too..how you keep will be dependant on your PCT, diet (make sure you eat a ton), rest and training..be sure not to over train

12 weeks is a good legnth. good progress!

Well done. I think that going 12 weeks would be fine. Good PCT and you should keep a lot of the weight.

12 weeks is fine thats what I'm running my cycle at Im on week 9 myself of test e and deca and I've gained 26 pounds I feel like a fukin beast I'm sitting at 229 with about 13 to 14% body fat the deca bloated me up quiet a bit but Im moving moutains in the gym my strenth is through the roof. Good luck bro remember to eat big in you PCT so you will keep your gains

yes i agree with longhorn. aromasin during a pct with nolva and arimidex during the cycle if needed. arimidex and nolva shouldnt be ran together at the same time.

Thanks for the replies.

My source is out of aromasin, is there another alternative, or just go with the straight nolva?

Thanks.
