BF% Increases While Bulking

[133923]

I am going into my sixth week of a cycle of durabolin npp and sustanon, i plan on running this for 12 weeks in total.

I started off at 15% bf, 5 weeks later I'm up 10lbs but.... im at 17% bf

I am eating around 1300 calories over my maintence caloric requirement, around 45% carbs 35% protein and 20%fats. Most of the carbs are complex and whole grains. I work out every other day.

Am I eating too much?
Have I gained an unusual amount of fat?
Should I cut down calories?
What bf% do most people gain by bulking?


Thanks for all the help.

i bet youre not taking an AI

15% bf is high
high bf aromatizes highly
high estrogen slows growth and can store more fat
vicious circle

but if you have a good diet you should lose bf..
20% from fats is high post up your exact diet

are you wanting to do a bulk or a lean bulk, basically do you want to gain a bit of fat and maximize muscle growth or stay lean at the expense of a little muscle growth

also, im gonna need your maintenance caloric requirement to help me with your diet

k, i would decrease your caloric intake to around 3400-3500, no need to be 1000cals over

you can do cardio 1-2x a week, low intensity on an empty stomach to keep the fat gain down, keep your heart rate low, use walking on an incline or riding a bike for about 30min

maintence calories 2800 calories
cardio = None

Im also using a tanita ironman scale to measure bf i know its not exactly accurate but i def started at 15.4% and now am anywhere from 16.4-17.4 measured throughout the day

how often are you injecting? and what dosage?
npp needs to be shot daily, sust eod at least...
also the ai wont help deca sides
hows your bloat?

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

You need to be doing cardio. 2-3 x a week



Also, too many shakes = BLOATED

Why wont an AI help deca sides?

[one8nine]

Why wont an AI help deca sides?

sorry i wasnt specific
the only ai that will help deca sides is letro, due to pgr stimulation
but you know that

if it's bioelectric impedence then it can be affected by alot of factors

[133923]

im injecting both eod in the same shot sust 500mgs/wk npp 300mgs/wk

that itself will cause increased estrogen (unstable blood levels)
and you are doing nothing for progesterone/prolactin
estradoils can help increase rate of fat storage

[133923]

i cant tell if im bloated or not, i feel full all the time, but i dont know if its from increased estrogen or from eating like crazy. My face isnt very puffy or anything but i do feel stuffed all the time, sorry i cant be more accurate its hard for me to judge

1) keep the same overall weekly dosage, but inject daily
2) get letro, when it comes in change over from adex to it
3) go from 4 shakes to 2
4) CARDIO IS A MUST!

you're not alone at all, when i quoted his diet i did exactly that, add cardio and took away all his shakes but pwo and before bed

haha Just noticed that.


Dont worry though. too.

[133923]

i am taking .25-.4mgs of liquidex every night

i also have the following laying around that i could throw into the mix if u think it would help,

aromasin, and nolvadex

hey i said progesterone/gyno- that was a typo. i meant progesterone/prolactin.

arimidex has no impact on npp sides
aromasin wont either
nolva will make it worse
you need letro

nolva/aromasin is a good pct

[133923]

Thanks for the help, just wondering what cardio will do for me other than use up some extra calories?

[133923]

Okay so i should be consuming around 700 calories over maintence?
I will do cardo 2-3 times a week
I wont be able to get a hold of letro but im dropping npp in 2 weeks anyways,
Less shakes more real food

Anyway that my bf% will drop during this bulking cycle?

[133923]

I know this is probably a very dumb question, and I most likely know that the answer to this question is NO! but......

Would it do me any good to diet for 1-2 weeks on cycle and then start lean bulking again, gradually increasing calories?

[FireGuy]

At 17% "bulk" should not be in your thoughts or vocabulary. You got some really good advice here already although I would prescribe more than 60-90 minutes of cardio per week.

[bmit]

I have done that before. If my bf gets too high i will diet down for a week or two on bulking. Depends on your tolerance for higher bfs. I feel gross over 14-15%
