Thread: Facial Puffiness :( HELP!!

    Unhappy Facial Puffiness :( HELP!!

    Hi,

    I am 32, 6', 180lbs. I started my cycle three weeks ago which consists of:

    Deca 500mg/week (monday/thursday)
    Cypianate 200mg/week
    Nolvadex 10mg/day
    HGH 4iu/day (plan on doing this for 5 months)

    I train 6 days a week, weights and cardio (running). I am seeing some slight gain and improvement.

    My diet is very clean (protien/complex carbs/low sodium/vegies etc)

    My body over all is lean (31 waist), dont know fat %. I am finding that my face looks puffy all the time. It feels puffy too. I am noticing that in the mirror and pictures.

    My questions are:

    Is this normal?
    What maybe causing this?
    How can I fix this?

    Also, how can make my abs to show? As I said, I eat clean and workout my abs almost everyday. I have a very flat stomach but I have never been able to see the ripped abs. Is there anything I can take to make them pop?

    Thanks

    armidex would help with water retention from test/decca but ive never done hgh so im not sure how it will effect you with that

    Do yourself a favor and drop the nolva .Nolva with Deca has the history of causing Bitch tits by activating to much progesterone.This was a big mistake in bbr's back in the day from lack of education.

    he should at .25mg eod, but taking out the nolva first could help as that might be what's cauing the water retention in the first place

    And what about diet??? No one has mentioned diet.

    Cut back on sodium. And cut back on processed carbs (if any are included daily). Exception being pre and post workout.

    He said he keeps his sodium low and eats complex carbs.
    As far as your abs go bro, do you have a layer of fat over them? If so the answer is diet and cardio which you said your are doing, but didnt mention how long you have been doing it and no real details about it. If you just want thicker abs the answer is to do weighted or resistance ab exercises. Then there is always lipo-dissolve for the hard to get rid of fat, but I doubt this is necessary, especially if ur runnin gh. It takes time my man, how long u been training?

    Im resurrecting this old theread cause it relates to what im going thru. Im on TRT Test dosage of 125 Sust every week and its been about 5 months or so, also running HGH at 2.I.U 5 on 2 off about 3 months now.This stack has really changed my body for the better, except for my face.About 2 weeks ago i noticed my face bloating up in the area from my outer nose out towards my cheeks about an inch horizontally,very localized. My upper cheeks and jawbone area have tightened up which make this look all the odder to me. I have tried Dandelion root and Expel for about 8 or so days with no noticeable effect.Im really looking for input here. Thinking I need to stop the GH Stats are 51 y.o. 6'1" 205" bf about 12% im guessing

    I see .25 EOD and .5 EOD, what is the difference? I mean what should someone take as a preventative .25 or .5?

    I have NEVER gotten this puffyness as long as i use short esters.. even if my diet isn't so clean.. if I use short esters i just do not BLOAT... It's odd... but.. I keep my diet clean regardless aside from my cheat meal.. so i have nothing to really worry about...
