7 lbs and strength gains is great for 3 weeks especially if you are a veteran lifter. The D-bol will start taking it's max effect soon and you will swell up huge and strong as an ox.

id say the pills have to be underdosed or fake. You could feel the realness of 50mg d-bol real quick id think!
you should of blown up at those dosages.
what was your stats before and what are they now?
how much protein and food are you eating? eat like a horse.. try to get close to 2X ur bw in 'tein. look into gear, that will help you if its hard to eat as much as you'd like
what are your workouts like? if you are working out 5 sets on chest then leaving the gym then you wont see gains. if you are going 3X a week only you wont see gains. 5-6X/week is necessary
so to answer your question NO, that is not normal.
of course i'm serious.
3X per week means you are working out 1 muscle group once a week. mantaining yes, but gains? no way.
I work out my chest and triceps 2X per week.. legs/back 2X per week.. biceps and abs 2X per week.. comes out to 6X per week.. i get one rest day and usually i spend that day at the beach or doing something constructive.
and I do 20 sets and I am seeing explosive results. now if you want to JUST mantain then work out each group once a week and you can do 5 or 6 sets.
but i'm not looking to mantain right now, thats the whole point of juicing in the first place.. to give your body that edge.
PS i think you mis-understood me.. you think I am saying 3X per week per muscle group. I am not. atleast i hope you mis-understood me cause i see no way you can workout say your chest once per week and expect do get anywhere. when i weightlifted in high school competitively our coach made us come in everyday after school + on saturday mornings during the season.
zack!!!

um no i did understand i just was a little shocked that you would say something like that!! i only lift weights 3 times a week an the gains i have been getting since i switched up my training from a 5 to 6 days a week are far above an beyond all my expectations. and i or so think some of statements u made are not entirely correct an you should not be telling people that especially if there new to ef .
an yes i do understand the point of taking steroids

directly working each muscle group once per 5-8 days is optimal for most. adding steroids does not mean you have to work more often.

Stevesmi,
Don't feel bad--that is a mistake I and probably just about everyone made when we started lifting--thinking more is always better--when you were in high school you could do pretty much anything you wanted and make gains because....well you were in high school and young. But at some time your training will become so taxing on your system that you WILL stop making gains--even with AAS--so you train more often which makes the problem worse. I trained clean for 15 years and cut my training back to once every 10 days per bodypart and started making gains again. But I am way off topic now.

I followed Ross's advice on this from a couple months ago and have had explosive gains on this subject. high weight and high rep/sets. its yielded me exceptional results.
not interested in working out 3X per week. I like to work each muscle group every 4 days and workout 5-6X per week total. I've added quite a bit of strength to my bench doing this strategy. from 240ish to over 300 in about 5 months
but like i always say not every strategy works for every person. and if working out 3X per week works for you then kudos. it just doesn't work for me sorry.

lol i've been lifting for 14 years bro. but thanks for that compliment thinking I am 20 years old or something. I am almost 30. i have the gray hairs starting to come in to prove it.
To the original poster I suspect that your diet could have used more calories. However, if you dont hold much water it might be possible to have gained some dry weight but honestly is hard to do that with dbol unless you had a different compound.
As for the traininig....in 98-99% of the people less is better and then you have that one percent that has incredible recovery ability.
I normally train 3-4x a week on or off the juice. On the juice I increase the intensity but keep it at no more than 4 days a week.
Now if I were to stay home do nothing and do a cycle of HGH + anabolics I can def workout 5-6 days a week if my rest(sleep 10+ hours a day) and food are in order. However, it is taxing on the nervous system to do this for a long period of time...I would consider doing this in a more specialized manner for a specific purpose.
I've gained over 100lbs over the years only working out 3-4x a week and is the intensity that counts too not just how many days you go to the gym.

I dont disagree with this.
if i really have a brutal workout of course I rest. if I max out I also rest or go 90% my ability etc. no different then running a 5K and resting or doing intervals.
but when i do lesser weight I have no problem going in the next day and working out another bodypart.
but I will NEVER workout a bodypart back to back cause I am like you guys, i believe in resting that sucker and letting it recover.
but like was said earlier.. we are going offtrack with this thread. i still think the guy needs to workout harder and eat more and he will be fine.

I train EOD on juice
First workout Bench,weighted dips,squats,deads
Second workout Military,weighted pull ups,row,low volume biceps curls
I go heavy weights every workout 5X6
So far so good maybe you just doing wrong exercises and don't eat much.
I don't take dbol no more, but I remember crazy pumps and michelin man look from it
My point is 7 lbs 3 weeks of dbol thats something wrong.

Nobody can sit here and tell someone else how much progress they should make in 3 weeks, how many calories a day to eat, or how often to train. I "only" lift weights 3 times a week. I trained this way for most of my powerlifting days. One squat day, a bench day, and a deadlift day. I put up a 405 bench weighing 190 lbs at one time. It's a good thing that I only trained that much. I still ended up tearing both rotator cuffs due to overuse. There's no golden rule on how to workout. You have to consider the person's goals as well as their genetic capability. You just don't know that from a message board.

To the OP, you've asked a question that nobody can answer. There's just too many variables. A general rule is that if you are gaining weight and getting stronger then you are likely gaining muscle mass. You should start out with a strong libido at first. That's verification that your gear is probably good. I've found that my libido tapers off as I adjust to the higher T levels.

It could be that your protein intake wasn't adequate. However, it could also be that you're not very responsive to Dbol. Yes, this is possible...I know two guys who work out at my gym who got smaller than usual gains off of dbol (it was definitely good, as I used the exact same stuff at the same time and blew right up). One of the guys then tried it again, this time another brand, and the same thing happened. I've seen very different responses to the same products from different people, and not just with dbol.

I would like to add that I just finished my first dbol cycle a couple weeks ago and it was around week 3 that I started seeing significant gains. I learned a lot from discussions here as I went through different issues such as the headaches and bp. I went from around 224 to 235 by week 6. My diet wasn't the best, but I made the best of it. My strength went up fast after week three and suprisingly is still going a couple weeks off although not as pronounced. I have dropped a few pounds as the gains were probably a lot of water, but I could move weight like I was 18 again. (34 now) I think everyone on this thread has some good points. It all depends on what works for you.

Good luck with your progress.
wow this is the problem.
here is a basic sample diet
6 meals that each have one of each of the following.
beef, chicken, fish, turkey, eggs
sweat potato, oats, whole grain breads or pasta, red skin potato
broccoli, asperagus, spinach
healthy nuts or oils.
you need to go heavy on the protein in every meal. without this you will not grow.
in addition to these meals you should eat an apple and a banana every day. also drink lots of water.
if you want to drink multiple shakes as meals then make them with eggs, berries, milk, and oats in them.
good post... I hit the supermarket and health food store every other day and with that takes an investment in grocery shopping a lot of the young dudes cannot afford to spend money on food and they shouldn't be wasting their time juicing until they can afford quality food IMO.
sounds like his diet costs maybe 20 bucks a day tops vs. your diet which costs $50 per day depending on where you shop and what part of the world you live of course.
