slightly dissapointed with first cycle

Does protein really need to be that much higher on gear? If I had known, it could have been easy to sneak in a double scoop of whey with a meal somewhere in the day

Your protein should be higher than that when bulking even when not taking gear. I think how low your protein intake was played a major factor. Gear increases protein synthesis and helps the body utilize protein and other nutrients a lot more efficiently and faster. The comment about you sneaking in a couple of scoops of whey to get that extra protein tells me that your diet was probably not that good either. I'm not saying it's true, just what I am getting from the comment. You should probably post your diet.

I'll post my diet when I get home from work. I have it saved on a document. I will tell you that when it comes to diet, I am pretty knowledgeable. However when it comes to gear, I'm still new at this and didn't realize that it was so important to consume extra protein. Right now, I'm getting roughly 84 grams of my current protein intake through shakes. This isn't too much by any means if I am taking about about 220-230 total throughout the day. However you're right, I should probably make myself an extra 6-8oz or so of chicken at some point in the day to increase my protein intake. I still technically have four weeks left since the test still works for two weeks after I stop taking it so it's not too late to make one last hurrah I guess.

as far as i know due to my studies that excessive amounts of protiens would be stored as fat if your not an active person, which includes working out, when taking those amount of proteins and not working hard to fit them in ur muscles i believe it will be stored as fat and causes the abs to disappear and form fat tissues...

active person while on gear i think that he needs to do hard work in order to achieve there goals.. working out liek a monster, cardio, etc etc...

thats my point as for me i'm intaking around 250 to 300 grams and i gained 8.8 pounds of muscles in around 16 days expecting to be 18 pounds in the 1st month...

is that the avarage gain on test e cycle ?

You do not gain 8.8 pounds of pure muscle in 16 days. It was mostly water weight!

i thought so, any other way to get rid of the water using something other than armidex ? u think my protien intake is enough ?

Drink more fluids, lay off of salt and decrease carbohydrate intake.
