bloating

[pinme]

My first cycle
250 mg sustanon
200 mg deca
every 3 days

I will run this cycle for 10 weeks...
I am at wk 2 now and I have been eating like crazy and drinking at least 2 gallons a day.

I am 22 years old
5'7"
191 lbs
15% bf

With all the water that I'm drinking I can notice a big differnce in my face. It bloated and I'm not really concerned about my appearance, but I don't want to look like a balloon face! I have nolvadex on hand but I don't want to start taking them yet especially when the longer esters of the sustanon haven't even kicked in yet. Will taking the nolvadex hinder any gains? Should I hold off on the nolvadex and just deal with the bloat? I mean, I wanna wait until wk 5 to see how my body reacts to the gear first without any other factors involved.

First off........ I don't think that it is the water consumption that is causing you to bloat, it usually has the opposite effect.

Secondly.......If you want to stop the bloat/water retention, you have to slow down the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, and that can only be accomplished by taking an anti-estrogen like Arimidex, Femara, or Aromasin (or their liquid counterparts). Nolvadex is a SERM and will do very little if anything to control bloat/water retention.

Lastly......Nolvadex IMO, will not hinder gains.

I'm not so sure of that anymore.........

Bloat/water retention is the result of estrogen and

Nandrolone shows an extremely lower tendency for estrogen conversion. For comparison, the rate has been estimated to be only about 20% of that seen with testosterones. This is because while the liver can convert nandrolone to estradiol, in other more active sites of steroid aromatization such as adipose tissue nandrolone is far less open to this process'. Consequently estrogen related side effects are a much lower concern with this drug.
