Well if you are gaining weight you aren't in a calorie defecit

 

[clman8585]

Are you taking an ai? Its probably estrogen related retention

 

[cjordan1100]

I was dropping around 3-4lbs a week before using gear. I'm ok with the weight gain as long as its the right kind(I'm new to this)

No not at the moment

 

[clman8585]

Arimidex .5 mg eod for entire cycle. If that makes you feel too slugish, drop it to .25 eod. If you feel bloated from the .5 protocol, then up it to 1mg eod.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you put your self into to much of a calorie deficet then your body goes into starvation mode and you WILL start to put on weight Period. But it also can be due to a high estrogen blood level as stated above. I would get with 3J and show him your diet and let him critique it. Or just by a meal plan for him. I have seen people at 4-5% body fat on his awesome diets. ANd at your weight i would go ahead and start at 1mg everyday with your Aromatase inhibitor (AI). Cause if you have high estro you need to drop that shit fast. Blood work is the best route right now.

Do you feel boated, look rounder, fuller, and not as hard or defined?

Something isnt right in your posts dude.

Losing 3-4lbs a week on the diet (circa 7000-14000 kcals deficit per week), then you introduce 500mg test/week and your gaining 11lbs. At 10% BF there very very large losses / gains!

Not wanting to call you out - are you sure that was the diet you were sticking too, and your not cheating?

Yes on all three. I thought that was to be expected.
