it's water weight, the gains should slow down significantly by the 3rd week

**may0r420** · 07-26-2005, 06:22 PM

ok..ya i seem alot harder and alot more veiny .. i did not expect it to gain like that, i don't want to get too big

**hosam4ever** · 07-26-2005, 06:53 PM

**smokethedays** · 07-26-2005, 07:12 PM

**may0r420** · 07-26-2005, 07:42 PM

5 ' 11" 154 around when i started
most i gained naturally was 162 and that was really hard
i am def a hard gainer..i can get my strength really up but no mass
i eat alot when i am lifting.i am really cut..
most i benched naturally was 255lbs twice wit
me weighing at 160 lbs

**smokethedays** · 07-26-2005, 07:42 PM

ooops sorry i didn't see that

**smokethedays** · 07-26-2005, 07:45 PM

u gotta somewhat an easy goal i believe, just get as much gains as possible out of the cycle then work on trimming down all extras, u gonna end up giving up about 65-70% of the total gains, so propably out of 20 lbs, u'll keep about 4-5 only

Try to eat 4,000 calories per day in total
2 grams of protein per 1lbs of lean mass

And (again) stop smoking

**may0r420** · 07-26-2005, 07:57 PM

i try to eat 6 small meals and drink 2-3 MRPs a day
i got to figure exactly how many calories i am getting.
Thanks i will def get that on track

**ant_8u** · 07-26-2005, 08:00 PM

**_Tiger_** · 08-09-2005, 07:08 AM

This sounds like what my first(only) cycle was like, I was just taking test and I gained about 30 lbs total in 5 weeks. A lot is water, and it's not always known on us lean guys that it is infact water., but water aint so bad to have while on a cycle

**MaNofSteeL** · 08-09-2005, 07:11 AM

I gained 15lbs my first week..i'm on the 2nd week now and up 20lbs.

**may0r420** · 08-09-2005, 07:13 AM

< 10% = less than 10%. I can't tell you your exact bodyfat but it looks to be less than 10%. I was just saying you look lean.
