Going into my 6th week and stuck at 207lbs

**cxr369** · 05-05-2009, 09:06 AM

This is my first cycle, I started off with 35 mg ed of Dbol , 500 mg of Test E a week, and 400 mg of Deca , I'm also taking .5 mg od Arimedx every other day.

My starting weight was 189, I'm going into my sixth week, I finished the Dbol last week and for the past week have been stuck on 207lb. I get enough food in my system, Could it be the gear?

are you upping your cals to be consistent with your weight gain and goals?

**chuckt12345** · 05-05-2009, 09:13 AM

well you prb droppin alot of that water from dbol so if your stayn the same that doesnt mean your not gainin from the deca /test

**cxr369** · 05-05-2009, 09:14 AM

I probably get about 350 grams of protein and 3,000 calories a day.

What type of weight gain should I expect from runiing thios cycle for 12 weeks?

Honestly bro, everyone responds to gear differently. Being that this is your first cycle, you can expect to be fairly impressed.

As to why you are holding at 207, could be a number of things.
1.) As mentioned above, you could be losing water weight, but still making gains, so they are offsetting one another on the scale.
2.) You should shock your muscles, by changing your workout around, trying new routines. This will then make the muscle grow.
3,4,5.) Is your diet properly set up for a bulk?

These are the first things that came to me. I don't think there are any voodoo spells against you.

Consider the above, and chill out.

you are only in week six.

Take care bro, and good luck to you!

it's not rocket science man...

you're off d-bol. therefore the instant gains have ceased.

just give the deca / test time to kick in. It can take up to 6 weeks for both those compounds to build up in your blood.

.... p.s. WAY too heavy for a 1st cycle.

absolutely agree. Even though I previously blamed it on the d-bol...

Generally 90% of the time it's because of diet on cycle. Might need to modify caloric intake / types of foods you're eating

Yep, you need to visit the diet forum! If you started your cycle eating 3,000 cal at 189 lbs and you are now 207 lbs you need to be eating 3,300-3,500 cals to further increase weight. Like others have said you are prob losing water weight from stopping the d-bol but right now is crucial for growth. Get your diet in check!

You might think about adding a couple tbsps of peanut butter to meal 7

Up your complex carb intake and try making it something besides bread. You've also got too many protein shakes. You need to switch one of those shakes to a meal.

**cxr369** · 05-05-2009, 10:43 PM

what kind of complex carbs? what should I one of my protein shakes with? I'm thinking of extending my cycle to 14 weeks of Test E and 12 weeks of Deca , what do you guys think?

That diet doesn't look like 3,000 calories to me.

Nothing like guessing, right?

is this casien??

Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )

once you have that number, you can multiply it by an activity number to figure out your daily caloric expenditure, be honest here as this is the very cornerstone of your diet, if you are between two of the below activity levels then just multiply by a number in between them

To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:

If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.2
If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.375
If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.55
If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.725
If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calorie-Calculation = BMR x 1.9
