5.5 weeks through my first-ever cycle.. 500mg of test e per week, every 3.5 days. I did a dbol 40mg/day kickstart (1 10mg pill every 5 hours) which ended last Tuesday and since stopping that my bloating has gone up! From what I've read, dbol is the worst bloater.. I expected the bloating to go down after I got off it. But my stomach is bloated, legs are bloated (I can feel it in my knees when i squat down), arms are bloated, feet are bloated.
I've been taking .5mg adex every MWF throughout my cycle (started at .25 but increased it after feeling really sensitive nips at week 2). My nips have been no issue at all since increasing the dosage but now the new thing is swelling..
Should I increase my dose even higher with the adex? I feel like this isn't the best idea. I have no gyno and a high sex drive so I think my estrogen levels are pretty under control. My diet is ok in salt.. I mean it's in there but not more than 2 grams a day. I drink 1.5 to 2 gallons of water a day. I'm fine dealing with the bloating if that's just how my body reacts, I just want to make sure more adex or less salt are needed.
I've made great gains so far, about 30lbs, half of which I'd imagine is water. But still, for week 5 that's extremely good.
