Nolvadex stopping gains????

[BurrBurr]

Hey guys. I started running 20mg/ED on day 10 of my 6 week dbol cycle 30mg/ed due to puffy/itchy nipples. Ever since my gains have been down!!!

Week 1 Gains: 4lbs
Week 2 Gains: 6lbs
Week 3 Gains: -2lbs

3 weeks and i have now only gained a total of 8lbs!!!!!! I EXPECTED MORE!!! IVE BEEN EATING LIKE A HORSE CONSTANTLY AND KEEPING EVERYTHING HEALTHY AS CAN BE!!!

Is it my workout routine??

I do 20 Sets total and thats in 4-5 different workouts per body part. I workout each muscle group ONCE a week! I work each muscle hard until complete failure, 1 minute rest time exactly between sets. Every week I change the order of the exercises aswell to confuse my body, is my workout wrong????

I also work a labour job, constantly sweating all day and work is a workout itself.

I drink 8 glasses of water a day, if not more... so The only thing i can think of thats hindering my dbol gains is the nolvadex. I hear its because Im losing some of the water weight? but i also hear nolv does not stop the water retention/bloat? If all im losing is water weight than thats ok. BUT at the same time I like the water weight... How much lean mass can a dbol cycle give u that is not ''water'' I hear good things and bad things.. and personally dont think anyone can say bad on a dbol ONLY cycle unless they themselves have tried it..

BurrBurr , the exact thing happened to me , I gained 17 pounds in total
And then had to go on arimidex due to itchy nips and gains have just stayed the same , I think it has to
Be due to that cause it helps u not keep water ,I upped dose to 40mg and Gained another 3 pounds

I'll never do a dbol only cycle again , the stuff causes gyno in way too many people or my liking ,, seems like 1/2 people get puffy nipples from it , I'm thinking A test eq and Anavar cycle for my 2nd

hmm, such a bummer.. i've had old friends in the past that have taken dbol only with no education on it and didnt even know what PCT is.. They gained average 15-30lbs in end and kept about 50-75% of what they gained... and have never had any gyno signs or bad side effects in anyway.. of course I do it and know whats going on and know about PCT and of course all hell breaks loose, god damn.

Yeah buddy that's how I felt !! We live and learn though right. and u still got another week right ? U could still gain some more

nolvadex doesnt stop gains your diet does..week 6 ur dbol gains are slowed anyways..dont expect much more from it..do pct and start over

Nolva lowers IGF.

Yeah, you shouldn't be running nolva on cycle unless you are combating gyno. I drop a tiny bit of water when I take it, but not much. Do your homework and run an AI and keep the nolva for gyno and maybe even post cycle if anything.. but that's it.

Yeah I've been running arimidex and seems to work good , other then making me pissy at everything lol
