Question about 1st cycle

[Rho94]

Just have some questions to confirm what I have been told and to shore up my understanding. Into my third week of a test e 250mg/every 5 days and 25 mg dbol every day for first 4 weeks. Going to run for 12 weeks. Started at 189 18% bf and 5'8" 35 years old. Diet is clean....around 2000 calories a day and 250 grams of protein a day.
1) everyone says you do not start feeling the test until about week 3 or 4. Why is that?
2) I have clomid and HCG for PCT. I also have novaldex. The person helping me suggested taking the novaldex to reduce bloat. I have read that it helps with water retention and I think I read that it does not. Can someone clear this up. I am retaining water and it would be nice to shed this.
3)After two weeks I have gained 5 lbs. I assume this is mostly water. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to AR

Why do people start their cycles THEN come asking for advice?????

Test E needs to be injected every 3.5 days NOT every 5 days

1) because of the enanthate ester , it is a slow releasing ester and take 4-6 weeks for your blood levels to build up

2) HCG is used DURING the cycle, Not after, you want to use Clomid/Nolva during PCT

3) Yes it is probably water gain from the dbol, what suggestions are you looking for??

what are your goals for this cylce?
Do you have an AI on hand? like arimidex

I would do 250 two times a week, and post your diet in the diet section and get some help there did does not sound like you are eating enough and you bf is a little high.

Pct....please write it out because you are going to need clomid and nolva. at that high of bf it is hard to tell if it is water or muscle....

T-mos.....its a fair point. I actually have read alot from several sites. I even have a close friend who seems to know his stuff. One of the things I find is that there is so much information that it takes time to filter out the bad so that you are left with what works. I guess thats why I finally got the nuts to post something. I have read many places that your suggestions of 2 times a week is correct, my friend swears by the once every 5 days. Again, thats why I posted.
I will post my diet and get some suggestions. I do an hour of cardio everyday.
Will the water come off when i stop using the dbol?
I do have arimidex.
My goal is to gain muscle mass while cutting my BF.
Again, thanks for the advice.

I like the cycle. Use the hcg the last 3 weeks of the cycle and save the nolva to go with the cloim for a four week pct.
