Test-E bloat?

[letsgosarms]

Running test E @500mg alongside tbol @ 60mg ED. It has been 9 days now.

I'm taking aromasin @ 6-10mg ED, and it has been working very smoothly.
i take prami every 3-4 days as well.

Although i notice a huge bloat, from nowhere, I have gained 6 pounds since i started cycle, i have also upped my caloric intake, mostly protein/fats. But i don't think this is the issue. I look physically bigger and lean, and my strength is overkill which is great.
so..
Is test-e bloating me?

its very possible that it is... you have to remember that you raised your calories and fats so that is not helping... another way to naturally lose water weight besides raising your aromasin dose is with dandelion root use... n2guard is loaded with this and it truly works... i use it daily and although i am in the bathroom pissing often, it keeps you extremely dry and will do it all naturally without any negative sides... like i said, n2guard is loaded with dandelion root so i would look into that...

lower sodium and up water intake also. might help

whats your bodyfat? heavier people usually get more estrogen related sides then lowerbody

perfect thanks. I added an extra meal into my diet , but my bf has not changed. Still at 11%ish , by calipers. I work labor, so i am in and out of the hot sun all day long. I sweat like crazy even indoors. I drink about a gallon 1/2+ a day no less.

I'll look into dandelion root, its a pain in the ass having to piss so often but it seems like i'll have to make some adjustments.

true, i'll give that a try. It seems like the area that's most affected is my gut. i'm on my feet all day at work maybe my posture is shit, and its making me look more bloated i don't know..

I eat:
5 eggs+wheat pancakes
protein shake
protein bar
Chicken breasts+brown rice/beans
Tuna+greek yogurt
Steak+sweet potato
Tilapia+wheat bread.
protein shake bf bed

i'm hitting my macros by a ton everyday. i added the tilapia meal an hour 1/2 before bed because i'm so hungry, and can't go to bed like that.

what do you think?

maybe try going alittle lower on the carbs but i wouldnt go any higher then 10mg of aromasin ed. that should be fine for the cylce imo

Hey what's up brother. Just wanted to add to what these guys were saying. What you are experiencing may not have anything to do with Test E bloating you or water retention. Remember that steroids work by creating more nitrogen retention in the muscle. Typically the more anabolic the compounds you are running, the more nitrogen retention you are going to have. This is going to translate to increased cell and muscle volume. Tbol is a very strong anabolic, so the bloat you think you are experiencing could very well just be from increased muscular fascia and have nothing to do with water.gl

This is exactly what I was going to say. Weight gain and bloat are two very different things. Glycogen saturation is going to go up considerably on high levels of androgens, contributing to a big part of weight gain.

If you are in fact bloating, you may be more estrogen sensitive than others, and require a higher AI dose

thanks for the sound info guys. Guess this is my first real cycle(injectables) , so i am getting a drift of whats going on. Just measured out and i'm 11.25% BF.

i just really hopped up weight so fast i almost hit a brick when it said 205 on the scale, and no fat gain. can't even imagine what it will be like in 10 weeks!

Would getting another blood test with estradiol/total t etc on cycle help?

10mg would work for most but esto sensitive, could bump it upto 25 mg ed.You need to distungish if its bloat though

Yes brother, getting bloodwork done on cycle should be normal protocol. You are only 9 days into your cycle though, so getting bloodwork now will only show inconclusive results. It is really too early to get an idea of where your Test and Estradiol levels are. The results may show elevated estrogen, but I doubt it considering you are only 9 days in.

Go by the mirror...do you look bloated??
Drink a lot of water daily and cleaning up
your diet can help with bloat dramatically.

very well said and very accurate as well...

what do you think?

understandable... i bitch a lot about all the pissing as well but then i remember how dry i am and that shuts me up real fast bro... watch your sodium as well as hurricane said... that definitely won't help... you need to make sure you get plenty of potassium as well to offset sodium intake... there's so many factors that come into play you have to keep an eye on...

thanks Dylan. Always appreciate your help.

I'm going to find sources of potassium to help offset it. I think that very well could be my problem as of now..

its one that often gets overlooked and is a big problem for many... try it and see if that helps as well... there's so many factors that can come into play but that definitely is one cause bro...

This statement rings particularly true with Tbol. Have run three cycles over last 3 years and every time I run it I also get extreme stomach bloat. I did some research and came to pretty much the same conclusion. It definitely seems to enlarge and tighten the intra abdominal fascia resulting in a tightness in the gut - sense of bloating. Can be a bit uncomfortable. Have only ever felt it with Tbol. I find that if I cut all gluten grains out on cycle, it helps.

Good to know. Thanks for this info brother..Seems like this could be the case as well.

I lowered my sodium and upped my potassium and the bloating subsided.

Cutting all grains i.e.: wheat products/fiber etc?

 

[25homes]

Sure you getting Lil water retention just nature of the game bro

 

[letsgosarms]

i'm making some very noticeable gains. up 13 pounds in 2 weeks exactly, 6mg of Aromasin ED. I can't be holding on to too much water, 1 1/2 gallon water per day at least. Getting hard to fit in certain areas, my pants and shirts and looking like i'm the hulk..Could this just be from the TEST or TBOL? I likeeee

this early in your cycle with a long estered test, the size is going to be more attribute to the tbol... tbol can put on some serious size... ive seen it with many people... its a much cleaner and keepable size amount as well... just wait until your test really gets going bro! make sure your keeping a good eye on postassium/sodium ratio... that is extremely imporant... keep up the good work... are you using your proper supports with tbol bro??

Yeah it seems to be doing some damage on my weight gain/leaning out and strength gains. Loving the quality! Only two weeks in, can't wait till the damage from week 4-6 should be in for a great surprise.

Yeah i think i have every cholesterol support natty supplement under the sun, literally. Then N2guard, and a few of the ingredients i take separately for increased protection for my liver.

got my blood pressure today , it remains at a steady 130-140/80ish . which isn't that bad to what it could be if i didn't have the supplements i am using. also weighed out to 215lbs, the biggest i have ever been without going over 11.5% BF.

Added Ostarine at 15mg to my stack because of the joint healing properties. Have a rotator cuff issue. Hit shoulders today and the pain was not their, even though i did low weight, high reps. Should be interesting to how i act with the ostarine in my stack..

My doc gave me Dosepak(methylprednisolone) she said i have some inflammation and maybe getting sick, she also told me it would help with my adrenal glands and hormones in some way? Could anyone clarify this?
