Question

[ReverendNewman]

Let me bounce this off u guys:

Is the "Creatine Bloat"/water retention the same as say Test aromtiizing in estrogen type of water retention?

Thing is, I'm off cycle now for about 6 weeks. I stopped taking creatine too, and stayed outta the gym to heal mentally and physically.

I been cross training doing the Insanity workout and tons of biking in the AM and PM.

I'm asking cause my abs started to go south when I was on cycle AND creatine. Now that I'm off, my abs are coming back and I am getting more vascular in my arms.

I have to admit though, my diet has been tight the last month.

I'm starting to hit the gym again and am just wondering if it was the Creatine/Test to estrogen converting water retention? Or just that I got lazy in my diet? LOL

Probably your diet. Did you run an AI on cycle and what compounds did you use?

[ReverendNewman]

No AI. I know, I know. I'm a dumbass !!!! I have read where dosages that "low" you don't really need an AI. BUT seems everyone up here says run an AI no matter what. So I will next cycle.
I was hitting 600 mg Test Cip. and 600 mg Deca spilt up into two shots a week. I had great results. Except I just felt so damn bloated. I'm wondering now doing my research that would and AI really have cut down on the water retention Or if it was just the nature of those compounds at those dosages.
