bloating

[castiron]

The last couple cycles I was on I never took any AI, just clomid post cycle. I bloated like a mofo, on test c 500. What do you all recommend to eliminate bloating. OTHER THAN diet. The diet was in check. Also about 10 days after my last shot i went in to bench and my shoulder was literally grinding bone to bone. I had to stop. It went away after a week and after i got on some creatine but im wondering how to prevent that in the future.

take an ai

[castiron]

any one better than the other?

[castiron]

for test?

Its just personal preference really. I like exemestane but lots of guys like adex.

I prefer adex. Also what is your water intake like?

[castiron]

i drink an absurd amount of water. always have. i dehydrate easily otherwise. 2+ gallons is normal daily intake on or off cycle. Im a big guy though. 6'2 260 15-20bf yes im working on dropping weight before cycling again. Ive been out of the game for a couple years.

I have noticed more bloating the higher my BF%. Its why I often tel others to lower BF% before cycling to avoid sides such as this

Does the bloat have anything to do with joints grinding like that, estro??

[castiron]

yes i believe it did. great observation. as soon as i started dropping water weight after i finished my cycle, the joint pain started. The test definitely "lubed" my joints, in my opinion. I was able to do strict military presses all cycle without a problem. An excercise that usually does not agree with my shoulders. I definitely think that the bloat had something to do with the shoulders.

Gotcha, so after the test was tapering off the t/e ratio was out of whack?

[castiron]

Yes, Im trying to plan my next round, and believe that an AI would help to prevent both the bloat, and my body's reaction to the sudden lack thereof, post cycle. I really just need help with SERMS and AI, used concurrently with AAS, not during PCT.

[carteblanche08865]

Yea it's important get dialed in. Even if it's only for the 3 months cycling, you should still feel good when going at it 100%. I saw your location is FL lol, I just moved near Daytona.

There are some good threads in the PCT forum but yes I would recommend an AI. I prefer Exemestane as well. Many regard it to be the best out there, but others such as ADex work better for some. I actually feel like I have to take a higher dose of stane to do the trick but like it otherwise.
