Help I'm gaining a lot of weight...is this normal?

[Doady22]

Hey guys so I'm doing my first cycle. I'm doing test prop at 150 eod. I'm keep my macros 250 protein 250 carbs 100g fats. Just finished up week 3 and I'm running it for 5 more weeks, I'm taking 25mg of privomed as well. My only concern is that I'm up from 167 to 181 after 3 weeks. My arms are up 1.25 inches, I'm not bloated in my face but I feel like I'm carrying alot of water in my stomach area...anyone else experience this? Is this normal weight gain?

 

[KingBF]

yes it is normal if your not taking an Aromatase inhibitor (AI). manboobies might be coming shortly after. im not sure what privomed is?

 

[knight22007]

Yeah that sounds about right, mostly water though. not sure what privomed is but a decent Aromatase inhibitor (AI) would help with the bloat

 

[Doady22]

Sorry guys its proviron stupid spell check, it's an anti estrogen. So I'm assuming I won't continue to gain as much weight that it will taper off?

 

[KingBF]

you need to just get adex or aromasin

Proviron doesn't work that way. I hate how it is often mistaken for being an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) or having Aromatase inhibitor (AI) properties. Pick up some liquidex from the red lion at the top of your screen. You should see results within 2-3 days after taking the liquidex.

A proper Aromatase inhibitor (AI) will take care of it. And you will still see more gains but nothing too significant . Also when i start cycling i always notice the most gains of water weight at the beggining.

Listen to this man ^^^. He knows what he is talking about

 

[detroitdrugzzz93]

why are you cycling starting at 167?

 

[Doady22]

I'm cycling at 167 because I've been training for almost 4yrs and feel like I've been stuck in the 160's for a long time. I appreciate the response I will get some liquidex to see if that helps.

sounds like your diet needs to be checked.. get in the diet section asap.. that cycle is going to go to waste if your not eating enough

if youve been training for 4 years and cant get over 167 ill bet my salary your diet is out of wack

your macros total up to 2700 calories.. not 3000

 

[Doady22]

Ok so I'm off by 300 calories, I cut my carbs back this week to see if it would help with the bloat and would explain the difference. What would you recommend I change?
