Hello to all
A little background:
- 5'9" , 50yrs old, on TRT past 3 yrs
- been working out 4 years
- ran my first bulking cycle - 600mg/wk test e wk 1-12, 40mg/day dbol wk 1-4, 150mg/eod NPP wk 1-10, 50mg/wk proviron, 1mg/wk anastrozole
- bulking macros 3,800cals/day 40% P 30% C 30% F
- workout routine: days 1-3 legs/push/pull strength, day 4 rest, days 5-7 legs/push/pull hypertrophy. No cardio
- got to 197 lbs and 16%bf
now started my summer cutting
- Anavar 30mg wk1, 40mg wk2, 50mg wk 3, 70mg wk 4-5, 50mg wk 6
- Test cyp 600mg/wk 1-6, then back to TRT at 150mg wk ongoing
- being on anavar that preserves muscle loss cut calories to 1,650 60% P 20% C 20% F and low sodium (about 3,000mg/day)
- I am on wk 4 of my cutting and presently 187lbs and 15% bf
Question I have is that I have been on a strong caloric restriction for 4 weeks, but my weight decrease has stalled at 187 and 15% bf
have added cardio 2 times a week for 1 hr each session
I am assuming I am retaining water. my chest, shoulders and arms look lean and ripped, my abs are visible but no veining showing on them.
Are there any other possible explanations? should I also assume that once I discontinue use of anavar and go back to my TRT maintenance of Test (150mg/wk) and calories (2,500) that my weight will go down due to water loss? Or is there something else I am not taking into account?
thanks for help
