I started a cycle of Sust/Deca last week. I've taking 500mg of Sust and 350mg of Deca so far. I'm about 5'9" and last week I weighed about 178lbs, but today I weighed 186lbs. I have been eating around 250g of protein a day and drinking a lot more water. Before last week I hadn't been paying as close of attention to my diet as I should have been. My question is what are my weight gains accredited to? I thought the gear wouldn't kick in until around the end of the second or third week, but I was surprised at the sudden gain. Is it because I have been eating better and drinking more water? Thanks for the help guys.

Due mostly to the change in diet. Maybe a little water retention although on those dosages of that gear, there shouldn't be much water rentention after 1 week. The deca gets a real positive nitrogen balance [whatever the hell that means] and there's a lot of protein synthesis. So if you've upped your protein that much that's probably what the eight pounds is, new muscle mostly.

Pretty much what I figured. I think some of it is definitely a little water retention because my rings are really tight. Thanks for the info.

That's basically it. You are working hard in the gym and eating right. That's the real formula to gaining lean body mass. Gear is just a catalyst.

It may also be the propionate kicking in.
