I started off weighing aroung 215lbs not sure what my body fat was but i was fat... well i got on a cycle using test e and deca at deca 400mg a week and test 500mg a week for 12 weeks stopped deca at 10 weeks. after i got off my cycle i started dropping weight fast and i now weigh around 175 and my bench max peaked at 250 while on my cycle which is a jump from 185 post cycle but regardless i weigh 175 and bench 225. i just want to know if that weight loss is normal or if taking steriods could possibly speed your matabolism up some?
looking to here back asap thanks!!!!
 
Did you run a post cycle therapy (pct) and use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) while on cycle? I'm betting you lost a lot of water weight post-cycle due to high estrogen while on.
 
well before i even started i weighed 215 and i went down to around 205 after my last pin. i didnt take much of a post cycle therapy (pct) maybe a week or so worth of clomid... i didnt really gain much water weight really
 
Diet. People act like running PCT is all you need to keep the weight you gain on cycle...it's not. It helps with the changes in hormones but the fact of the matter is, the caloric intake it requires to maintain 215 is a lot more than the calories required to maintain 175. Up you diet, cleanly, and train to keep yourself growing.

ok i understand that but i didnt really want to maintain 215 because i was overweight at 215 haha but during my cycle i didnt really lose much weight it was once i got off is when i started losing and i had a very clean diet not because i had to it was because i wanted to it consisted of mostly water and salads for the most part because im still in highschool so i just hit up the salad bar! but i didnt think all that weight would fall off so quickly!
 
Aww mate, you did a steroid cycle of test and deca which is commonly used to bulk, and you lived on salad and water..?
Obviously your gonna lose weight. Steroids are designed to increases protien and glycogen synthesis, which makes your body far more effeciant at absorbing nutrients from food. The diet you described would probably of had a lot of vitamins but not much protien which for steroids is very Important.
The reason you lost weight has nothing to do with the products that you've taken, it's more to do with your diet. If you plan on doing another steroid cycle in the future make sure you have an adequate diet plan in order that will help you both gain muscle mass and then maintain after you finish using the steroids.

Best of luck in future, more planning is needed and obviously a little more research.
 
High cortisol, estrogen rebound, they all can effect your gains post cycle. The fact that you only used clomid for maybe a week definitely didn't help your cause. Also often times you would need to eat more post cycle than you did on cycle to maintain weight.

you lost the weight cause your body knows ur a kid in high school playing around with AAS, your an idiot
 
very badly planned cycle , you only did a week of clomid after that cycle ? you probably messed up your hpta and at very least probably wont go back to the natural test levels u were producing at your age with that poor pct and cycling so young . You lost so much weight because 1. you didnt use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) so you were probably holding onto about a good 10-15lb of just water weight and 2. your diet was very poor and didnt have alot of protein to build muscle , and calories during and after cycle to maintain your mass . calories need to be kept especialy high during pct when you are trying to recover your natural test levels in order to maintain the muscle while low in natty test . boggles my mind how people can jump into something like this without any precautions , backup plans and knowledge of what they are doing and taking and the consequences of poor actions

anybody can say anything, but the only way to determine where your test levels are at, at this current time is to get bloods done A.S.A.P, nothing to mess around with, as for me i am not a doc, but as far as dropping weight, u will remain dropping weight if your test levels are low which i think they are as we speak!, GET BLOODS DONE BRO! Proper PCT protocol+ your age has alot of factors in this man
PCT running for a week, didnt do shit bro, exspecially running Test and a 19nor compound at your highschool age is just nuts bro
If anything our Pct should of been ran for a month, and looked like this

clomid 100/100/50/50
Nolvadex 40/40/20/20

Classic case of not knowing "diet" . If you do aas, you don't need a diet...you need a lifestyle change...like..your diet is in check on and off cycle 100% of the time. You should go over to the diet forum..

how do you know that? water int he muscle is not seem the same way as gettign fat or bloated, which is also aded on cycle.
did oyu use an AI? i assure you you had water weight.

you had a bad diet (or you would not have been over weight) and you didnt do a post cycle therapy (pct)? WHY? thats more important then the cycle itself! losign your hard workedfor gains for saving 50$ on pct products?
