OK I need to know what I am doing wrong. Problem is simple, I am gaining strength but not mass. Let me start off by providing the "stats" I know everyone will inquire about. First off, (even though I am an Engineer by trade) I am a certified PT, also I am a CNS (certified nutritional specialist) so obviously I understand how to count macros and am pretty sure I know how to train. I am 73 inches tall, 219 pounds, 182 lbs LBM (17% bf), I am 26 years old and have been lifting for 9 years. I reached a plateau and decided it was time to take a leap of curiosity with AAS. Currently on my fourth cycle. My first cycle was Test E at 500 mg a week for 12 Weeks, standard pct...clomid, Nova etc, second cycle was Test Cyp @ 600 mg per week and DECA @ 450 mg per week for 14 weeks, standard pct, third cycle was Sust @ 750 per week and EQ at 600 mg per week for 16 weeks and weeks 2-8 dbol @ 50 mg per day, standard pct, I am currently on a cycle of Test P 100mg EOD, Cyp @ 800 mg per week , EQ at 700 mg per week and anavar weeks 3-9 at 50mg ED, front loaded with test p weeks 1-4.
Since I first started my fat free mass has increased by 31 pounds. My body fat fluctuates depending on diet but stays between 14-18%. I have went up significantly in resistance on all training and continue to do so each week. Am up from 225 on bench to 325 and so on.. you get the point.
My problem is my measurements are not changing by much at all. Before I ever stared my first cycle my biceps measured 16.5 inches, they are now 16 7/8. My chest started at 45 its now 46.5. I had expected more.....As I said I am well aware of exercise technique.... hypertrophy... failure...fatigue...etc. Just curious to know if anyone has ever experienced this and how to over come it. Thanks.
