Is it normal for your waist size to blow up 2-3 inches when on a cycle?

[JD2001]

Everytime I go on a cycle my waist blows up 2-3 inches. Is it fat or water retention. Is it normal? How can that be stopped?

It's water. You don't say what you are cycling with so it is hard to say what you should do to stop it. I will guess you are using test without using arimidex. But the liquidex and your water retention will stop.
