Kicking In?

[DBCHI]

I'm currently a week and a half into a 10 week cycle of 40mg cyp/200 mg Deca. This is my first cycle and I already gained 5lb (now 188, 5'7", 35 years old). Feeling good and getting stronger.

I do not think that the cyp or deca has kicked in yet - am I right? Do you think the 5lb gain could just be bloat? I have been eating about 3500 -4000 calories/day - taking flax oil, r-ala, vitamins etc. Maybe the weight gain is because of my more focused diet? Any information here would be appreciated. My goal is to get to 200 lb off this cycle.

Thanks-

its

most likely from your diet. The cyp will just now be kicking in a bit, so maybe you are holding a little water as well... probably a combo of both.

Don't over-analyze this. Let the AAS do thier thing and you do yours. Could be diet related. Could be water retention. And it could be muscle. Most likely it's a cobination of all three. 12 pounds in 8.5 weeks of your remaining cycle is realistic, but only if you do what you have to do. Don't concern yourself, however, with the scale. It only causes confusion, frustration, and sometimes a false sense of either urgency or accomplishment.

Thanks for the response. Do you think that given my age, should I have used more for this cycle or wait for others to come?

I assume you mean 400mg cyp? Looks good to me, if your not happy try more next cycle. Even with 2:1 test:deca some still have deca dick problems, so you may just want to up the test and keep the deca for your joints.
