Had another high reading tonight of 185/96. Wtf is going on here, this is only 500mg test cyp and I am only 3.5 weeks in. The 300mg EQ I am stacking with it hasn’t even had time to build yet.

Personally I would confirm in a Minute Clinic or doctor’s office (you can count your two random readings and the third would be on the clinic visit). Three separate high blood pressure readings constitutes a diagnosis of high blood pressure. Just get on a low side effect bp med (lisinopril, etc.), probably need near max dose, get it controlled and continue to rock. Recheck when off cycle immediately. If it is gear related no biggy, you can come off when off cycle and back on when indicated. Just keep an eye on it.Originally Posted by Meloncap78

water retention . try a 3 day mini depletion. if your BP drops 20 points from doing that you know your prone to water retention right now.
so cut out ALL of your carbs and eat in a calorie deficit, and even try intermittent fasting. eat only moderate protein and healthy fats. nothing more (veggies kept to a minimum as well). do your normal weight workouts and when finished do a 30+ minute moderate intensity cardio session on a spin bike or step mill (these are more glycogenic in nature and will deplete you much faster then doing a treadmill).
you can also try and take an herbal diuretic for these 3 days. don't over drink water. just drink based on thirst. then the 3rd day cut your water back some. along with that dieuretic you can take 2 shots of straight vodka each night (don't go anymore and get drunk).
get some pedialyte advanced electrolyte drink and drink that on the 4th day and begin upping your water intake and slowly bringing carbs back in..
BUT on the morning of the 4th day your BP will likely be much lower. keep in mind your not trying to 'dehydrate' , your simply trying to 'deplete' some and lose some of the excess water retention to see if thats causing your BP issues (which it likely is).
this is super common for newer AAS users . you retain a crap ton of water from the introduction of physiological dosages. NO its not estrogen, lol. its water retention and a super compensation of minerals, nutrients, electrolytes, etc..
years ago when I was first getting going with AAS myself. I made several trips to the doc/ emergency clinic. with BP of over 200/100. I now run over 4x those dosages and a multitude of more compounds I used to run and my BP rarely goes over 120/80 now (when on cycle). you'll acclimate over time
but I've used these mini depletion phases several times myself and seen others do similar.

Well I had an unplanned 3 day mini depletion. I got a nasty stomach bug. Im kinda disappointed as I am back down to my 185 starting weight before starting the 4000 cal bulk. This tells me that I was only carrying excess water and glyc from all the carbs. I need more than 4k to grow. This has been a learning experience.

Well, you are just 3 weeks into your cycle so that is normal, bro. You cannot possibly gain that much weight when the AAS barely built up in your system... The water retention weight is always misleading
Don't worry though, things are only going to get better from here

if you were filled to the brim with excess water and glycogen,, then you don't need more then 4000 cals to grow, you need more TIME being in a surplus to grow. more cals won't make you grow any faster, protein synthesis has a cap on how fast it can turnover and produce growth. you can't force to go any faster

How are you checking it? I wouldn't go by a machine at a store if that's what your using most are only good for like 13" arms. I had a similar issue before checked it at the store it was high so I checked it a couple more times and it went up every time since I was stressing about it.

My BP wasn’t that high mine was more like 160/85 within the first week of my fromtlaoded test cycle. I could feel the high blood pressure. I had some head aches etc. anyways it went away shortly after and now I’m around where I always am 120/70
