Thanks for the input. I started at 220, and have gained about 6-7 depending on the time of day, however I've been hitting the cardio and improved diet since starting...which is why I was so concerned. I'm somewhat fit going into it about 16% bodyfat. Not scheduled to get BW for another 6 weeks so I flying blindly a bit when it comes to E2 levels.

I've heard and read that some believe it's a best practice to run a lquidex or armidex throughout regardless. Any opinions on that? and can someone explain how E levels and water retention are related?
