    what % of your gains were muscle/fat/water

    After PCT, when all the dust settled, what would you all estimate the distribution of your gains to be? Just curious to see everyone's experiences.

    IE: On 10 weeks of test E, 14lbs kept post-PCT, probably 9 muscle, 5 fat.

    I don't think there is any way to actually measure this without expensive body fat testing. Most will be guesses, probably not even close either.

    I have thinking about this issue myself recently, and I think if you logged all the extra calories you had taken in over your cycle plus PCT and subtacted the the extra bf% gained this would give you your lean muscle gain. water weight would diminish upon cessation of test etc.

    Lets use easy numbers for simple math. For example, i over eat maintenance calories by 1000 cals per day for 10 weeks. 1000 x 7 x 10 = 70'000 cals roughly equates to 20lbs. with me so far?

    of that 20 lbs gained, I gained 2% bf and weighed 200lbs after pct which gives us 4lbs of fat and 16 lbs of lean gains.

    I know the numbers are not accurate but it makes my point, the only real gains you will see are from the extra calories put in, how much of the extra cals are converted to lean muscle are down lots of different factors.

    I meant if someone had to give an educated guess based on their results, or at the very least how they perceive their weight gain to have been distributed.

    Depends on individual genetics and body type...too many factors. There's really not even an average that could be given on a question like this.
