How do you guys feel about doing abs on a cycle? I'm going to be doing my first cycle in a few weeks and I was told that doing ab workouts would give me a bloated look. Just looking for some opinions. My abs aren't well defined which is why I would really like to him them hard while on the stuff....

Try using sus and primo or maybe some eq. That's just a suggestion I have not used any AS yet. But that's what I pick up on, ask E2. As far as doing abs Just don't do any weighted exercises or really light weights for ab exercises.

I work my abs hard and heavy when on a cycle (just as I do when off cycle). Any bloating you get is just water weight, and will come off when you go off. Keep your water intake high; some people use a diuretic to counter water retention, but unless you have a solid reason, don't bother. Clomid and/or Nolva during cycle can help as well, since a lot of water retention is as a result of testosterone converting to estrogen.

In my experience the abdominal muscles respond, too well to gear. I.e. giving a layer of 'overly' thick muscle. This gives you a wider (although muscular) waist reducing the visual impact of your shoulder to waist ratio.

But then again I could just be MAD!

Thanks for the input...
I'm trying to add some muscle mass for the summer and I'd love to have a nice six pack when I'm at the beach. I do have clomid on hand, but I wasn't planning on stacking the d-bol with anything. Will I be able to keep most of the gains when I come off??

BTW, I am a Springsteen fan!! "BRUUUUCE!!!!"

You will lose alot of your gains from a d-bol only cycle, because you will probably hold a lot of water. If you can, I would stack it with a test. good luck. Also, clomid will help you retain more of your gains since it gets your natural test production back going quicker. I have heard you have to work twice as hard after a cycle to keep all your gains?
