yeah, you need to up your cals as you go, accounting for the new mass you've put on.

Your diet is likely not in check and that A-dex dosage is high enough to hinder gains big-time.

My advice:

Calculate your BMR/Tdee and post your diet in that section to get it sorted out for the rest of your cycle. Eat more in the mean time.

so im thinkin since half life of adex is 3 day take 1 mg every 3 days

usually like .25-.50 mgs eod is pretty standard, .25 works well for me

Agree with Damien. Look outside of the box and consider those variables.

If you want help calculating check out the Harris Benedict formula for men.

Google it and don't forget your TDEE. Damien is right....you need to account for the new mass, although a lot of it is water. Eat and don't stop working out.
Get plenty of rest.

Good luck.

Just to reiterate though, yes the diet is the biggest factor BUT you really should reduce that a-dex to like .25mg eod or .5 e3d. It's overkill right now.

dont up the cals too drastically too quickly, i'll give a fair bet tht 25lbs in 7wks will be alot of water aswell as any muscle gain
