Cutting cyle Questions...Problems???

[Goldprospector]

My question is, is there a normal rate of weight loss? AND< can the lack of calories attribute to early fatigue during a workout. I am down 10 lbs in2 1/2 weeks (IS THIS TOO FAST?) I am doing cardio sessions on an elliptical of 5 miles in 25 minutes, at least 4 times per week.

I have never done a cutting cycle but am working on it now. I started the actual dieting weighing 248lbs. Now @ 2 1/2 weeks later I am down to 238lbs. I have not tested BF% yet to see if there is much improvment.
I am using TrenE/Test blend combo for the cutting and am at almost 2700 calories per day.

About the cycle, I am in the 6th week but I started the Test 2 weeks before the Tren, So that makes the 4th week of TrenE. I use a Test blend @ 600mg per week and Tren E @ 500mg per week split in two injections. Brand of product is GTP.

The only sides that I have noticed were slight nipple soreness, that is gone now and severe night sweats.

The only benifits that I have noticed, is improved vascularity.

The next section may be due to the Enan Ester of the Tren, I don't know how long it takes to feel anything from the Tren. But I do think I should be feeling the Test effects already.

Negatives, My strength is NOT improving (I actually feel weaker than when I started the cycle) and I get fatigued easily during the work out. I am NOT getting any of the Test "horny" feeling that I have always gotten in the past. There is NOT a loss of libido but I feel like it is a normal sex drive of back before I ever started using AAS. I have had ZERO, NONE, NADA, atrophy in the balls....whereas my last three cycles, I noticed some atrophy early in the cycle.

the only real thing I can answer is the weight loss... during my first few weeks i lost 10- 12 lbs in no time... mostly water.. i would say an average weight loss rate would be around 2-3 lbs a week. try cardio at 80- 85 % max heart rate... around 125- 130 bpm for u. and 5 miles in 25 minutes, thats off, haha. try doing a fast walk pace for cardio.. that works best.

use ephedra , caffein and aspirin to get rid of the fatigue prior training, consume at least a gal of water.

I've been going @ around 140 to 145 bpm with the pace that i have been using. I understand that the actual miles & speed may be off, but anyway, that is what I have been running at...also it is the "Midpoint" of the resistance setting of my machine.
BTW, I started the cutting @ around 14 to 15% BF. My calipers read 13.6, but several bro's said it looked closer to 15%.

use ephedra , caffein and aspirin to get rid of the fatigue prior training, consume at least a gal of water.

I do use the ECA stack prior to workouts, and I drink a minimum of 1.5 gallons of water, usually closer to 2 gallons.

What I mean by fatigue, is for example: Tuesday while doing flat bench which is the third excersize of this routine after dips and crossovers, I have been doing 3 sets of 10 with a lighter weight (240lb) last week, iI got the whole set and reps...but this week, when I got to the third set, I fell off @ 5 reps...Absolutley could NOT do another rep. But this is only one example, it is happening more and more on different lifts.

I was having the same problem when I cut down from 8 or 9 meals to 5 or 6. I was dead on arrival at the gym. I added one more in before the gym.. just to get some carbs etc in there. It made a huge difference.

Could the fatigue be due to having less sleep because of the 'night sweats'?

The fatigue could be b/c of the loss of sleep or the weight loos, which is also probably the culprit of the strength loss.
