How much did you gain off of a test cycle?

[hove131]

I ask this because I've read from 7-25 lbs from various people. I ran it at 750mg for 14 weeks and gained 10 lbs tops and that's on the high side. I gained plenty of strength though. What have your results been?

going into week 12, 600mg a week and up 20lb. Hopefully don't lose much in PCT

How much bf were u carrying at the beginning of the cycle? If your burning fat at the same time then the ten pounds u gained might not be accurate..

Nice, on enanthate yeah? Have you lost or gained much bodyfat? Also, were you using Aromasin or Arimidex and did you get any gyno or bloating issues?

Every one is spot on about the bodyfat question, you could just be replacing BF pounds with muscle...
However aas is not magic. It still all comes down to diet. How much over maintenance were you eating? Was your diet clean? How many grams of protein were you I taking .. Etc...

Me and a buddy just ran the same cycle. I gained about 18 pounds so far. He has gained 5. Biggest difference, he eats like shit compared to me

Gained ~23 lbs on 500 mg/week for 10 weeks. Lot of water and should have waited longer before starting so I could have been closer to natural max.

What is your reasoning for saying that? Why do you regret it? Sounds like you got great gains.

 

[drforce4080]

I could have gained the weight naturally if I would have just put more time into it. There's a difference between going from 185-210 compared to 210-230.

My first run was a 20lb gain of water and a little muscle.

So what I'm wondering is why people are getting such meager gains, I'm two weeks into a 18 week Test E cycle and I'm up 15lbs already. I don't do cardio, and I eat as much as I can in terms of protein/carbs, but I don't see the sense in people wanting to get big and try and stay cut at the same time, its not like the end of the world is going to happen at the end of your PCT and you will never drop your bf down before you get into heaven.
