    Water retention on Tren Ace & Prop

    I seem to be taking on water like the fvcking titanic. Why?

    Nothing changed from my cut diet with which I lost 25 pounds without any issues. I just raised my cal intake by about 1/3rd which brings me barely over my TDEE.

    I just took the second shot of prop, tren and a ml of b12.

    My waist just jumped by damn near an inch.

    Took my caber yesterday. . .


    WTF am I missing? I think, I'm sensitive to test or some shit. Every time I am on a medium and up dosage I get mad bloat.

    Only plan I got so far is to drop my test prop to under 50mg EOD instead of the 80mg+ I'm on now.

    Well, haven't started that yet. Didn't know when to time it in. . . Fvck it, I'll start it right now.

    I'll see if it drops. . . . That was a part of me dropping the test dosage.

    Why were you not taking the AI from the start? I have read a lot of post where people bloat up without and AI

    I try, man


    A little bit of a bulk, but looking for more of a body recomp.

    Interesting enough the water seems to be all in my damn gut. Everywhere else I seem leaner, more veins are popping out already.

    This is a low test dosage that in theory can be ran without an Ai. But, that's your call. . . . I started it right now, this bloat sucks. On a bulk cycle I don't mind it, it drops very fast after I come off.


    Also, I been running a TRT dosage of 175mg a week and had no water retention. I was running a pretty lean cut and everything went just fine.

    Yes, right around 300mg a week. I might drop to a lower EOD dosage.

    My carbs are almost the same as before: Oats, wheat bagels(my only break weaknessss) and residual carbs from greens. Total from bread is a bit high(close to 100g's). But, while dropping weight for the last two months the bread was not causing any issues. I barely kicked my carbs up from my cut.

    When? only early AM. Except for residual carbs from greens.

    That's the issue. You need to spread those carbs out. and yes, that bread will mess you up. Don't take all your carbs in the morning thinking thinking it's doing you a favor. It's not.

    Ask Baseline or 405 or GB about it. I'm sure they'll agree. If not, i stand corrected and i apologize.

    ^^^ It seems like you have high estrogen sensitivity.

    I would start using an AI immediately and also watch my sodium intake, instead of decrementing the Test dosage.

    I agree with this part.

    Massive carb intake = massive insulin spike = feeding of current fat reserves = increment in BF%.

    This formula especially applies to those who are CHO sensitive, such as myself.

    Thanks, TJ.

    I was being a little lazy and didn't want to get into all that.

    Cool, took my Armidex yesterday.

    Now, I'll break up the carbs. But, like I said it worked perfect on my cut.
