    Water weight retention ....1st cycle

    After you do your cycle I know people put water weight on. How long does it take to get that off. I am asking because I plan on doing my first pin next monday.(I am going to post cycle later on in the week if everything goes right) and run my cycle for 10-12 weeks. I would like to run it 12 weeks just to get everything I can out of it. This will leave me 2 weeks before I go on vacation.To try and get water weight off. Or 10 week cycle will leave me with 4 weeks. I dont want to look all bloated with no difinition. Just a question I was just wondering. Thanks a lot everyone.

    Just deplete your muscles of glycogen and you'll lose the water weight.

    So keto diet for 3-5 days and you're sorted.

    The way I am going to plan it ( way I am thinking/might be wrong) I haven't posted yet because I need to make sure I can get BW done and get my pins next week.

    But I was going to run

    Weeks 1-12 ...Test E 400 per week... pin Monday and thur
    Weeks 1-12.....HCG .250iu ....pin same day as test

    Weeks 1-14....Armidex .25mg( quarter of pill) eod starting day after first pin.

    I was going to keep using my Androgel though out the cycle and just keep on using it. (TRT)

    Should I run my adex 2 weeks longer or should I stop that sense I will be going straight back to TRT (Androgel) veryou small amount tho. Two squizes. It's what I am prescribed.

    Water retention has a direct correlation to your estrogen #'s


    You need to figure what are the best levels for you to run at.


    Also, stay away from sodium & any other shit additives to your diet.

    Yes I am going to try and stay away for the sodium for sure.

    Thats one reason I want to get my BW done so I'll know what it is (E2) now, before I start. Along with the rest of the stuff.

    There is a link on here that has recommend panel of BWto get done before cycle. I am going to try and get that one. If not the step above it.

    I wouldn't worry about water wight to much make sure your estrogen is under control and your diet is clean I'd also up it to 500 mg a week and I would save the gel until u return to trt I'm no expert when it comes to trt but I would think the hcg would be a waste bc your on trt unless your using it for cosmetic purposes perhaps someone else can chime in but I would continue the adexx bc your levels will still be high for some time you also don't have a ai regiment being on trt ?

    Just because I know nothing about it. . . Is it a testosterone replacement?


    But, yeah - no form of TRT needs PCT

    Yea I am going to try my best to keep an eye on my estrogen. I am praying I am not to prone to the side of it. I have test e 400 so to make it easy I was just going to do 400 per week and draw .5 ml (200 per shot)just to make it easy. I might drop the gel till week 10 or so then jump back on for the last two week.

    On the adexx I am guess i would run that two weeks longer after my last shot? Anyone got info on this here ?

    I dont take it now though.... ummm....

    It just says that you should take it when on cycle so I am. Plus taking to the vets my doc should perscribe it to me. I am going to ask about it when I go back. But I am currently not on it.

    Its says in the first cycle thread that you should take it and plus I want to have kids.

    If it wasnt for this site I dont know what i would do. I know Kel and Austine and you and few other guys have really really helped me.

    You're one of the lucky ones. it seems most people it does very little to nothing. Very little for me so I went to injections and everything is much better. A buddy of mine just started TRT and is up to 6 pumps a day just to reach around 400. Ive also hear it's less effective over time.

    How much androgel are you using? I would not bother to take it during cycle though, just save it. I dont think you will see any increase using it or not.
