Am I gaining weight too fast?!?

[Letmegetmuscles]

Hey all!
I'm currently starting my 4th week of Test e/deca 200mg each and test cyp-100mg (TRT), I just weighed myself and I have gained about 8lbs in 3 weeks. My calories are not crazy high as I want to keep fat gain to a minimum. Ive been consuming about 2700-3000 calories daily. Getting around 200-grams protein and 400-grams carbs and the rest fats...

For this type of cycle, is 8lbs around this time normal? should I reduce calories a bit??

Thanks!!

your total weekly is 300 test and 200 deca?

what was your stats before starting, probable water weight

 

[Letmegetmuscles]

I was 156lbs before cycle,, Total test300/deca200... yep

 

[SolomonGrundy]

probable just you eating more and holding water, you're not on a lot of gear so no worries

 

[Letmegetmuscles]

Ok! Sounds good. Im eager to se what happens. Only running a 10 week cycle. This would be my 2nd cycle, so we'll see..

I gained 10 lbs in a month off, roids at around 4000 cals a day. You surely didn't top out your potential before starting your gear. Besides water weight, that could also be a significant cause of quick gains.

I don't know, Ive been training for awhile (15yrs) and Im transgendered and as a bio female, I think I maxxed out my potential some what... I'm of age..30 yrs old and wanted to step shit up!

If that's the case, couldn't you get on hormone replacement therapy? You're right, as of now,your genetics probably don't favor much more. Interesting.

 

[Letmegetmuscles]

Yeah

​

I'm already on a weekly test cyp dose 100mgs...For the past 5 years...

Anything for reducing natural estrogen?

No, not yet. I'm actually getting some forma stanzol from mrsupps. Heard good things so, let's see...

8lb's is fairly normal for that dosage. If this is your first time, expect a hyper response. Transgender status should not be a mitigating factor.

My first time around on 500mg Testoviron every 8-10 days, i gained 30lb+ pounds in the first month.

I would think the only way to be transgendered, would be with hormone replacement?

I don't know the rate of aromatization in females, but I would definitely try an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) to see if it can help that bloat. I know that females do have aromatase, but how much that can affect your overall picture is something I have no idea on. I'm really fascinated in knowing if it would work for you though!

Me too halfwit! Me too. I am not sure if deca is for me cause even at this low dose, it's like my body can't tolerate it... ugh... Might need something even lighter....

30lbs is CRAZY!!! How much of that was muscle though???

 

[hardtarget]

8lbs is rather normal...

I gained even more after the first month -- about 36-38lb total. I went from the low 210s to high 240s. Then i maintained 235-240lb average thereafter for the next 6 months. The cycle was logged in detail here,if you want to see the exact details.

Muscle wise?

I know i gained lots of water - i mean first few days i blew up like 10lb. Towards the end of the cycle, i threw in 20mg anavar ed, that's when i cleaned up and didn't look like a blow fish anymore. Nevertheless, i loved the look - the weight went to all the right places - unparalled back and shoulders. Only thing that lagged and has always lagged the shitty arms.
