Post cycle creatine bloat

[Gymbob]

Im halfway through my clomid therapy at the moment and im taking the following to help keep gains,

clen\eca 2 weeks alt
50mg proviron\day
20g creatine\day
20g+ glutamine\day
.25mg arimidex EOD (since i dont have a lot left)

Its working great, ive only lost 2 pounds and my strength has gone up on some lifts.

The problem is im holding too much water from the creatine mainly around my midsection, is there anything i can do for this im taking in approx 2 gallons of water\day. I thought using the clen proviron and arimidex would stop this but the creatine is taking over at the moment.

Anyone?

prov,nolvd,arimidex WONT do notthing for the water you got from creatine...dont worry about it you will lose it when you lower the dose of creatine or stop it...like in 1-2 weeks...also yes if you drink more water more you will lose(water)...it can help...plus a lot of water a day is good for you...

Thanks ultragainz i didnt know that, how long should i use creatine for (for gainskeeping)

 

[ultragainz]

you can keep hitting it for 6-8 weeks or 10-12 weeks...lower then dose later on if you like 20g,then 15g-10g,then 5-10g...

Gymbob,

You should discontinue arimidex usage at this point.

Arimidex decreases the amount of aromatise enzymes that will convert testosterone to estrogen. Now that you are weeks into clomid therapy, your body has virtually nothing for the aromatise to transform to estrogen.

Your estrogen really has no fear of spiking at this point, so I would wean myself off of the arimidex.

People talk about maintaining a test/estrogen ratio.. (so even if test is really low, you keep the estrogen VERY low), however some estrogen is needed by your body.


I "would" run arimidex a week into clomid therapy then discontinue it.

What type of creatine are you using? If it's something like Celltech or Phosphagen HP that seems to me like way too much sugar. Try using Trac by MHP, It contains no sugar. Just a thought.
Later

Its the micronised monohydrate powder by MRM, i dont think it contains sugar as it dosnt say on the tub. I think it would have to say if it had sugar for diabetics or allergy sufferers, wouldnt it?

I didnt know that twitched, thanks. I wasnt sure how long the estrogen rebound effect could last for thats why i continued using it. Ive heard guys say they use it for quite a while after cycle and even off cycle, to increase metabolism i guess this wouldnt be a good idea then.
