Too much weight?

I feel like a shrimp in the mirror ever since I saw Toney Freeman at the gym so as you can guess I'm always trying to get bigger. Last Jan I was about 165lbs, summer I hit 175lbs, Sep I started Sustanon (sust) (first cycle) and went up to 208lbs. Currently on my second cycle (test and deca) I hit 215lbs. Is that too much weight to be gaining in that period of time?
 
What's your height? 50lbs in a year and a half isn't extreme in my opinion given where you started from. Have those been quality gains or did you gain some fat with that as well?
 
Depends on your goals, do you want to add quality weight as in muscle or just weight in general? Those a rapid gains, I'm guessing you gained some BF along the way?
 
half way to through testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) i started eating big..... then i cycled, if u count from the point i started eating big to the end of the cycle i gained bout 60-70 pounds... feelsgoodman! within a year too
 
lol yes a very true statement but i just can't wrap my brain around not eating enough haha...i could eat all day long, seems so much easier then not!

I'm 5'11 and my ultimate goal is to eventually get a quality body to compete with. I've always been around 15% bodyfat. When I got off cycle I dropped from 208 to 200lbs and ate a lot and gained bodyfat up to about 20%. I started this cycle at 20% and 200lbs, i gained weight and dropped bodyfat because my diet isnt on point. I'm getting about 5k calories a day so Im putting some weight on, highest I hit was 221lbs so far and I was about 17% bf and I'm holding some water. To me the gains aren't bad and my body fat is still around 15%. I can see my delts and traps developing, chest(got a stretch mark in my arm pit), starting to grow infant sized legs, my triceps and triceps are growing, back is getting thicker.

Oh yeah, you definitely have room to grow on that frame then. I would expect them to slow down a bit though as you continue putting on muscle. I hate stretch marks so much, I wish I had used a good moisturizer as a pup - but hindsight is 20/20 etc. If you're serious about your goals, I totally recommend employing 3J as he could very likely find a diet that will not only keep that mass coming on, but help keep that body fat under control. I just finished week 7 on my plan with him and the results so far have been pretty damn amazing!
 
I almost want to say as long as the gains are good keep going. Im about 4 weeks in to my cycle and up 13 lbs, now im taking test and 10 grams creatine, even with armidex EOD at .5mg Im pretty sure im holding half that in water. But the gains in the gym are so sweet, im almost at the point of saying screw the fat gain as long as the lifts are gaining massively each week.

I said I would before but never got around to it, I need to see if he can set me up with a cycle and post cycle diet.
 
I've learned over time to go slow and steady with my diet. First cycle I blew up 35lbs and was fat and bloated and looked like shit. I have since cut down and after a couple bulks where I got too fat I realized I need to get lean and stay lean and gradually add muscle. I feel this is the way to go. I look and feel way better now.
 
you are the only one who knows if its muscle you're adding or fat or water , its all good when bulking is the goal, but growing lean muscle mass is slower.
