holding water on test

[thewarrior8845]

i've never done a cycle. for those who have competed and ran testosterone during contest prep, did you notice water retention even while your estrogen was controlled? in the drug interactions paper that comes with pharma test cyp it says that testosterone cyp causes mineral retention. so basically testosterone will make you hold water regardless of what your e2 levels are, right?

[clarky.]

Water retention should not be a problem if your e2 is ok (AI) you drink plenty of water and do cardio and keep salt to a min. But you said contest prep which i know nothing about mate i was just giving general advice on keeping water retention down

[got fina?]

I used to hate taking Test big time because of the crazy balloon look it used to give me. Even though its highly not recommended, I ran many cycles throughout the years without including Test. This all changed once i started incorporating an AI into the mix.
Now Test is one of my favorite compounds and never run a cycle without it.
With an AI, I get nice and lean now on Test and water retention is close to nothing. Sometimes i have to tone it back a little with the AI because it drys me out a little too much.

Get blood work while on Test to see where your E2 numbers are at. As long as this is controlled, you shouldn't have a problem with water retention on Test.
