i think i'm gonna cry

[mike001]

i am in my 8th week of t-200, 3rd week of ttokkyo EQ at 600mg in my biceps, this past 2 weeks i had to taper my test from 1000 to 600 do to gyno and no liquidex. i have noticed i really look flat and have lost weight, my arms look smaller, i am getting pissed.
being flat, it cannot be my carb intake, i am consuming 800G of carbs per day( almost )
although my strength is shotting through the roof still, all i need is size, i dont give a shit about fat, i have a heart rate of 130BPM that takes care of that, hehe. i dont retain water not even 2% so it cannot be that neither. i am clueless.
i had people all around me asking me what i am on everyday untill about week ago, it really gets to me!!
any suggestions, whether your wrong or not, let me here it, i will need every possable answer i can get. i am sure all you know how it is, it is depressing especially in late cycle on high dosages.

Are you overtraining or not getting enough rest?It is hard to say but those are some possibilities.

This may sound stupid to you, but what is your water intake like?

 

[muscleup]

Take a few days of and eat like horse and rest like a dead man and see if that makes any difference.

 

[mike001]

my water intake is around a gallon per day. i am not over training i swear, i have started a new program (workout every EOD) i started to blow up then all the sudden BAM! its gone. something is NOT right.
i have a VERY strong feeling it is do to lowering my test dosage but didnt think i would lose 50% of gains from it. reminder; i dont retain water, although i wish i did... hell, i eat sunflower seads most of the day trying to retain. doesnt work all that great.. anyone have any suggestions on retaining water? or my origional question. may sound dumb but i am sorry, hell, you have arimidex and others to keep water off, what about putting water on
thanks bros,

Up your water intake to 2 gals/day. Take in more dairy products. Keep adding salt to food, but watch blood pressure. Just my suggestions.

 

[mike001]

when i exceed 1 gallon, i start to piss every 15 mins, therefore not holding water
by the way, what kind of dairy products??

 

[Shredder21]

Water does have a duiretic effect, but I was hoping with the increased sodium/dairy, you may hold on to some. When I take in a lot of milk and yogurt, I start to hold a lot of water and I become a lot more smoother. Lactose has some type of smoothing effect, I believe by retaining water under the skin. Ask anyone who competes, all dairy products are usually cut out because of this smoothing effect.

Lowering your daily water intake will help you reatain water. Also creatine. Keep eating the seeds and put salt on everything. Dude, that's such an out of the ordinary question, lol! Good luck, hope everything comes back to normal.

I would also try the creatine, but would not lower the water intake. Also, what is the rest of your diet like i.e... fat and protein?

Mike ive been in the same boat as you before. If your strength and Body weight are both up, you know you're not getting any smaller. In my situation I dont look as big because im holding a little too much water which makes me look really smooth. Try doing some cardio first thing after you get up and hit some creatine too to pump you up some. I always get more "big" comments from people when im lean at 195 than when im big and smooth at 215.
