Hey guys, I'm about 8 weeks into my cycle and my jeans are fitting hella tight. I'm usually a 32 and I think think I'm like a 34 now. I have been eating clean- so no fat gain I'm aware of.
What is causing this? I tried to google testosterone and waist increase and nothing. Is this all water? Will it return to normal after I'm done with my cycle?
THanks!

How much mass did you add from your cycle?
New Member
I'm 8 weeks into it- and I have noticed huge increase in my traps, arms, and chest. I'v only been using 300 mg a week
Senior Member
Sounds to me like your just becoming a bigger guy, buy some new clothes! lol.
My wieght always fluctuates, it can get enoying when you buy a nice new pair of jeans and they dont fit you after a month of heavy training.
New Member
not when every pair you own are Diesel Jeans avg $200 a pair! lol. I want my 32 waist back man! I never knew your waist circumfrence could become bigger from Test!

lol.
Remember, your waist has muscles too.

haha good to know. I didn't know that. But seriously, after my cycle is over and water retention has subsided, could my waist shrink back down some? Also, I didnt mention before, but I'm also running Serostim (HGH) 25 units 5 days a week as well.
'everything louder than everything else'
its water mate, hardly any of my clothes fit proper while on, t shirts i dont mind but jeans etc are pain around the waist, esp bike gear!!

Agreed... Yes your waist has some muscle... But not all that much.... If you look at BB waist sizes... They dont have HUGE waists... My buddy laughs at me all the time because my waist never seems to change... On cycle though.. I would say it bloat. I cant find good jeans.... Waist fits good. Quads dont fit. Waist to big and the quads do fit.. SUCKS

im thinking so- I dont think I have "growth gut" (it doesn't protrude or anything) but definately it's probably adding to the water retention. Thanks for all the replies. Ha, I havent minded the shirt size increases but yea, the jean part sucks.

How much cardio are you doing?
New Member
42 min 2x a week on treadmill walking at 4.1 and and incline of 3.5. Bump?
"Better Safe Than Sorry"
Increase your cardio to four times a week and see if that help to meet your goals faster. The heart is a muscle too and needs to be trained as well.
Stats:
age?
weight? 179
height? 5'11"
yrs training?
etc.........
Pct?
current cycle?
starting weight?

Curent Cycle is 25 units of HGH 5/2, 300 mg of Test E weekly (and no interest in bumping this) 300 is plenty.

How long have you been on the HGH ? Are you taking 5iu each day on the 5/2 ?

LOL, you gain in your glutes, hips, thighs. It's all going to cause you to go up in waist size. I used to wear 32 waist (long ago), recently 36. Now this off season, I've had to go to a 38, relaxed fit jean. Still gets tight when I lift my leg to step up. My work pants are 42 waist. They're real loose on my waist, all bunched up with the belt. But I have to have them that big so the legs don't get too tight when I climb the ladder.

Do you wear your pants over your belly button?
Senior Member
you know what i mean.
The reason for his trousers being tight is because hes put on muscle mass all over or the growth is thickening his mid section.

Each vial of Serostim is 16 iu- I forgot what the conversion is when I draw it to 25 units on a 50 unit syringe. lol, I think a least 4. I know I should know this. But the dose sems to work well for me. higher and I get some joint pain.
CGB - So are you saying it's "not"" water retention but just overall growth? I mean almost 2 waist sizes in 8 weeks- that seems like a lot. I do know it's not fat.

I don't know in your case. You will drop some water weight when you go off, but not much with prop. But, you will grow everywhere if you're taking AAS and lifting. Your glutes, hips, obliques if lifting heavy. Your core muscles will grow. It's not just your actual waist size that's affecting the change, it's the other muscles I mentioned as well.

i say its a combination water retention and growth
i mean whenever i cycle my water retention make sme go from size 32inch waist line, to a 36, sometimes i need 38s, is fricken ridiculous
saying that though i usually always have to buy size 38 pants coz their the only pants with big enough quad space for me lol, so i make belts my new best friend
im going to just say its water retention, maybe a little growth since this is exactly what is happening to me
