Water retention

**Roger11** · 09-29-2015, 08:27 PM

Hey guys, been cutting for about 7 weeks now, down from 108kg to 98.7kg this morning, on T3 mast/tren primo and low test added those in over the period of the cycle, and havent been using ADEX because im only on 200 test e a week and running the other stuff higher, ive been counting my calories and macros and doing my cardio and the weight is slowly coming off but not as fast as i thought, my question is, could i be retaining water retention, ive started adex and will run that at .25mg eod for a bit and gauge my weight, but perhaps one of the compounds im using has traces of another compound in it and is making me retain water, because my midsection has hardened right up but my face not so much as i like, im thinking im holding water in my face. How could you tell?

How much water are you drinking?

I use .5 arimidex per day, but I did have some water retention with Tren . Have you been running test the entire time?

One can assume water retention from any consistent use of Test E, regardless of dosage. Then when considering it's synergy with other compounds, even those not prone to said retention, it becomes even more likely. It is recommended to run a little Adex (kloter1's dosage is fine), even it's just to rule retention out, especially if your diet and cardio are premium, yet your density is less than expected.

Could be another trace compound maybe some Decca. I doubt that's the issue however. It could also be a diet issue like not enough fat intake or too much, even unsteady sodium levels. Or maybe diet face just hasnt hit yet

Indeed, but running a little Adex would RAPIDLY prove or disprove the hormonal retention theory, and free him to explore the other possibilities you mentioned. Note: I cited diet and cardio, both of which would negate the above possible causes, namely fat, sodium, and to some extent time which is always a variable.
