Stopped gaining on Test E Cycle (Please Help)

[Willysnipes92]

So I started my first cycle 7 weeks ago... Started at 5'9.5 166-168lbs depending on water. Also, started with a very lean build, 8-10% body fat, very solid build.

Started taking:
-40mg Dbol ed Week 1-5
-Test E injections 250mg x2 weekly

Around week 5 I was up to about 178 lbs, holding very little water weight and I noticed some Gyno symptoms...

I started taking Arimidex EoD at 1mg...

Since I've started, I have gained strength increases greatly on all types of lifts, but they have halted after stopping the d bol. Also, the source I got everything from is a family friend so he is trusted to get good stuff...

When I was on the d bol I was getting around 3500 calories daily with plenty of protein, and now that I am only on Test E, I get around 3500-4000 calories a day, with proteins, fats, carbs all sufficient enough to build. I work hard at the gym, am usually there for about an hour and a half to 2 hours on some days...

So I don't understand, I have pretty much been plateaued out for about a week or so at 180 lbs upon waking up. Even with huge caloric intake, my weight does not change. My strength is also not really moving anywhere either...

What could be my problem? Also, would it be a bad idea to take some d bol mid cycle? I would like to add more strength and size... My cycle has another 7 weeks, following proper PCT.

Any advice?

Don't add dbol again. 6 weeks is enough. Get bloodwork to verify your test is legit/dosed properly. I know you trust your friend, but his mate could've ripped him off or somewhere else down the line. It happens man, believe me.

What are your current macros? I'd up total calories by 10%. You may also be overtraining. 1.5-2hrs in the gym is an awfully long time. Certainly not necessary. Especially at your size.

Also i'd drop your arimidex back to your original dose... Something around 0.25mg ed or eod ahould be fine. Use either Nolva or Raloxifen (ralox is superior) to treat and reverse your gyno. Don't use an AI. Without getting too much into it, to use an AI to stop estrogen reaching your breast tissue you'd have to nuke all the estro in your body. That will not only hinder gains but make you feel pretty shit. Ralox or nolva won't do either of those.

In short, use an AI to keep estro to healthy levels. Use SERMs like nolva/ralpx to treat gyno and starve the breast tissue of estrogen.
