Not gaining while on cycle

Here is some stats. I've been weight training for about 3 years.

I weigh about 223lbs. I would guess that my body fat is about 25 from what my scale tells me. I know that's not acurate, but that's a ballpark. I hold just about all of my fat in my stomach. The rest of my body is lean. I am 6' 1" tall and just turned 40 a few weeks ago. I eat good food, no junk food at all. I drink a good 1.5 to 2 gallons of water a day.

An idea of my daily food intake would be 353 grams of protein, 179 gram of carbs, 125 gram of fat at a total of 3500/3900 calories.

The cycle that I am running and I am in week 5, is 250/deca/250test E every 3 days. This is my 4th cycle. For right now, the only physical work that I do is weight lifting 5/6 times a week for about an hour each workout. The rest of the time I am sitting. I have a desk job and when I go home, I don't do alot. I will be more active once the weather breaks. I don't do any cardio, but may start running a few days a week.

I was at 221lbs when I started the cycle. I don't seem to be gaining any weight. My source is reliable. I know that the test is good and I am almost positive that the deca is good. (Same source) The reason why I say that is that my sex drive is through the roof. I have used this test before and my sex drive would go through the roof. I think that the deca intensified it though cause it is really intense this cycle. The test is ICN and the Deca is British Dragon.

Am I expecting too much too at week 5? I know that my last cycle was test e only and it did take some time for people to notice a size difference if me, but I didn't really gain much weight then. My upper body got fuller but the scale did not show much weight gain. Or maybe I am not taking in enough calories?? I don't want to over do it with the calories and gain too much fat plus I am pretty much full all of the time.

I would like to say that I am losing fat and gaining muscle, but my pants tell me different. When I start to lose fat, my pants start getting lose. If anything, they are a bit tighter now.

Any comments on this? THX!

Sorry for the long post but I wanted to get all the info needed.
 
You should start noticing some gains starting anytime now.

So you think that maybe I am expecting too much too soon? I was going to up my calories, but I don't want to over do it and gain a bunch of fat. I already have a pretty good gut as it is.

i would say increase your carbs unless you want to straight up diet. If you dont your body will be burning off a good amount of protein intake. If you can, eat as clean as humanly possible and take in some flax seed oil in the mornings and afternoons. Never forget your cardio.
 
Eat more protein, and more carbs. Gains should start coming soon.

Based on that nutrient breakdown you gave, I only calculated 3253 total calories.
 
To me it seems like you are working out too much. Maybe you are overtraining even with the AS.

I agree about eating more, but I also think the fat gram count is too high.

good luck.
 
Carbs were my next thing. I am going to start upping those some, I just don't want to over due it. I am going add flax oil in there once I get more. I took a break from it for a while cause the taste was getting to me so I changed to the pills, but I am going back on the oil. Also in my breakdown, I didn't add little stuff like olive oil, peanuts, vegies and almonds that I eat throughout the day. That's not alot more, but it all adds up. I also started to add 2 tablespoons of peanut butter for my morning and night protein drink. That will be me a couple hundred more calories. The worst thing that I eat in my diet is I added sausage and bacon to my eggs in the morning just to get more cals and protein. I am carefull what I eat at night. Mainly I will eat a steak grilled and tuna. I am going to add in baked potatoes to that for the carbs.

I eat so much lately that I'm in the bathroom 6/7 times a day. And I think that I am getting more than enough protein due to that. ;) I figure that my lean body weight is roughly around 190 from the diet that I was on last year. At that weight last year, my gut was pretty much gone. It may be a little higher cause I am sure that I gained some muscle since then.

That breakdown for my cals should be pretty close. I added everything up using an excel spreadsheet calculation and calorieking.com.
