So I'm only 4 weeks into my Test E 500mg/week cycle of what will be a 10 week cycle, the average beginner's cycle. I've put on a lot of what I hope is water weight because my stomach is beginning to jiggle noticeably. I've put on about 12 lbs. in 4 weeks but it definately isn't muscle, I know that when using Test E bloat and water weight are things I have to deal w/ but what can I do to help limit it? I've just this week begun increasing cardio bc I don't like the look of my gut.

Is it really necessary to increase calories when on even for someone like me who puts on bf relatively easily? I fear that when I'm done I'm just going to be 15-20 lbs heavier w/ nothing to show for it but a larger gut.

No, my diet has not been perfect the last 1.5 weeks but it hasn't been all that bad either. Should I consider cutting carbs, limiting them to say pre & post workout?

Any/all advice would be greatly appreciated guys.

you can't bulk and cut at the same time. Especially with the product your using. I would say enjoy the cycle and deal with the gut after your done with your diet. If you don't want to gain too much fat then watch what you eat and the times you eat.

A-Dex can help, lower sodium intake, drink lots of water.

To limit bloat/water retention use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) like Aromasin or AIFM.

if you dont eat enough food the juice wont be able to do anything for you, so concentrate on lots of protein, just dont junk out and you'll be fine

Arimidex, aromasin, proviron etc will stop or reduce the bloating.

I would recommend proviron as it would make your test work better, help you loose weight and in general prevent estrogen sides.

thanks guys for the all the "advices"

Anyone give me a good arimidex dosage? I've read only .5mg/day.

No, thats way too much. Even .25mg per day can totally wipe out estrogen in some guys and you dont want that. Give aromasin a shot, its easier to use.

Negative on the Proviron preventing estrogen sides

Actually 1 mg Arimidex only reduces estrogen by about 50% in men not even on cycle. Arimidex reducing E to near zero is a common misconception on the boards.

That said, Aromasin or AIFM is a much better choice for an AI.
