19, second cycle, eating problems. Please help?

[6ymr47]

I agree journal the food intake, I suspect aswell that you are not eating as much as you think.

I'm 19, weigh only 155, started my second cycle (t400 and decabol 300) and have a serious problem with my diet - I can't seem to get full. No matter how much I eat, I'm still always hungry and the weight is not climbing at all. I'm getting stronger - actually went from 200lb bench to 260lb in one month - I'm getting bigger, but I keep fluctuating from 150-155lb. I consume about 5000 cals per day (pasta, grain, bread), around 200-300g of protein (mostly canned tuna, salmon, beef, and chicken, sometimes lamb), divide it into 5-7 meals per day. I think my food digests in about 40 minutes. That cannot be normal.

I was wondering how you guys combat plateaus in weight. Do you eat slow digesting food at night? Morning? Any tips?


In addition, I'm injecting .5cc of deca twice a week and .5cc of t400 once a week. Do you guys think I should switch that up? I'm worried that I might get deca dick, as I'm not getting enough test in my system.

any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm not going to get on you about starting a cycle at 19... I did my first at 20, but I was also 220lbs at the time. But what done is done.

Clearly your gear is good to go, but I have serious bouts about your caloric intake like everyone else. I am 240lbs with ~12% body fat and when I eat 5k calories a day, I start to gain unwanted body fat on top of the lean mass I'm looking for.

How tall are you??

If you are really concerned about gaining weight and getting in enough calories, I would recommend hitting some dirty calories 2x a week. Go to McDonald's, get a couple Big Mac's and a large milkshake and go to town. If you add 2 of those meals a week, you should be gaining a pound a week (3500 calorie surplus).

Your training is also fucked up, look into Westside Barbell, 5x5, DC, or something else low volume/high intensity.

How many mg's/wk of each compound are you running?? From what I can tell, it looks like you're running 200mg of Test and 300mg of Deca per week. If this is the case, you shouldn't have any issues with libido.

DO NOT use Nolva during your cycle or at any time in which the Deca is still active in your system as it can aggravate any progesterone related gyno you may be experiencing.

I wouldn't run nolva during cycle.. just because. If you're worried about estrogen levels I would take adex @ 25mg a day which is half a pill.

Your "just because" is answered above.

If you mean Adex, he would want to take .5mg/day which would be a standard dose. For Aromasin, which I think you mean, you're correct.

I feel nothing: I'm 5'11" and thanks for the tip. However, I though nolva was supposed to prevent testucular shrinkage during the cycle... if I don't take nolva then how would I prevent test shrikage/atrophy?

Coldblood303: I have in the past, as I've taken a kinesiology course last year which required me to keep a food journal. The results were very similar to the ones I have now (more now because I'm eating everything possible) so I'm not bullshitting, I'm not exaggerating. On average, I eat 4000-5000 cals easily, and only created this tread to see if anyone else had encountered similar problems in the past.

I guess we're playing two entirely different ballgames, as I cant seem to get the weight up no matte how much I try. My metabolism is really quick.

I'm 5'11" and I will look into revising my training, thanks for the advice. I can't stress to you how much I appreciate the help.

and I do take 200mg of t400 and 300mg of deca (150 twice a week).

A friend of mine just recommended me adex today, but after my cycle as post cycle therapy (pct). Would you recommend I take it during AND after? ex. .5mg during and... ?mg after?

 

[paulpaulpaul]

I think I'm starting to get a little bit of gyno on my left nipple. It feels softer than the right.

Should I stop the t400 and wait until I get the adex, and then take it until it goes away?

5mg daily, right?

what you are claiming is physiologicaly impossible, so quit wasting this boards time....to gain weight is a simple math equation, so unless your running marathons daily and not mentionioning it your lying....nuff said

 

[I_feel_nothing]

nolva will not prevent shrinkage. GET OFF THE NOLVA IF YOU ARE TAKING DECA, YOU ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING GYNO.
