Getting fat on test

[JAP0131]

On 1st cycle of test e on wk 4 of 12. Started out around 11% bf and I feel like I'm gaining a significant amount of fat even though my calories seem fairly low for my size. I'm at 3200 calories and I figured I would be taking in 4000 while on cycle but the way I've been adding fat I was afraid to up them. I'm 32, 6'0 219lbs lifting 4 days/wk. I have a desk job and don't move around as much as I should during the day but do have a high intensity weight training 4 nights a week. I'm taking 500mg test e per wk along with aromasin 12.5mg eod and hcgenerate and n2guard. Is it normal to be gaining fat, seemingly at an even faster pace than when I bulk naturally? I'm eating super clean diet with 1 cheat meal per week. Maybe it's just that as I get older my metabolism is slowing with the added negative of sitting at a desk for several hrs everyday? I have noticed that cutting after a bulk has gotten harder and harder since I've turned 30 but I thought I would be adding some really lean gains on test?? Any ideas/recommendations ?

I mean you can't just take steroids and wish to what will happen.

anabolic steroids are anabolic so they will grow you typically. so if you don't want to get bigger then don't take them. run SARM's instead

you can run an AI to reduce the bloat but the above still holds true.

it is not fat bit water retention and bloat

And you are eating the same amount of calories [3200] you would on a natural bulk? Making sure I read this right.

Yes I'm at 3200/day right now. I'm not by any means afraid of adding some fat in the process of getting bigger, I was just asking opinions of whether I should up my calories to 4000 or if the excess will store too much fat. It's my first time so I wasn't completely sure what to expect. I don't want to eat calories that aren't necessary if I'm already maxing out my gains but I don't want to short change my gains by not eating enough... I guess I was expecting it to take 4000 plus a day before I would start gaining fat while on cycle, but again I didn't know and wondered what others experienced. The aromasin helps with the bloat but as the day goes on my stomach gets bigger and bigger lol..

You are probably more estrogen sensitive than the average person, and you may need to increase the aromasin dose to bring the water and bloat down. Try going to 25mg EOD and see how that goes

Ok yes I'll try that and see. Appreciate it ! Thanks for the responses.

This happened to me too around week 5 of my first test e cycle a few months back...it was water man. I was on arimidex 0.5ed and it wasn't enough. I added in n2bm liquidex (natural AI) and it seemed to help. I also noticed my hair actually got thicker on cycle, but shed when I added in n2bm liquidex, indicating my estrogen:test was high before adding in the extra ai

didn't see how much test your running? everyone is right, it's water retention. next cycle run either equipoise, primo or masteron w the test. this will heighten the affects of the test, without having to run a crap load of it on it's own. just something to consider
