Retaining too much water...

[anal itch]

Hey fellas,

I seem to be holding allot of water even while taking .5 mg of A-Dex ED. I can tell mostly by looking at my face and by my wedding ring. It looks like it's cutting into my finger due to the excess water.

I three weeks in on 500mg of Test Cyp/ 400mg Deca. I've been taking the A-dex throughout along with 1mg of Finastreide ED for my hair. Should I up the A-Dex to 1 mg ED? Any other suggestions?

Also, I’ve been thinking about upping the test to 750 mg’s a week. I’m know the test is the source of the water retention. What will control this?

Deca also causes water retention that can't be controlled by adex. I used to get bloated up real bad to no matter what I took, then I started limiting my sodium intake and that helped dramatically.

cardio
Drinking a minimum of a gallon of water per day
and Aromasin.

Thanks guys, K to you both!!

I did a search on Aromasin and have some questions. I see it's used for post menopausal breast cancer patients and the list of side affects is pretty long according to the FDA info. What are the sides for men? Can I take it with Finastreide, A-Dex and Nolva I plan to use during PCT?

AG-Guys doesn’t have much info on it. At least not like the descriptions they have for the other research chemicals they sell.

BTW: I do 30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week. I need to up the water a bit and cut out the Gatorade. I drink that by the gallon...

I would just put the Aromasin in place of the A-dex

Hey man just get yourself a water pill. MHP makes a great and cheap water pill that works well, it is called x-pel. I used it for a week and dropped 6 pounds of water weight. You can get an 80 pill bottle for like $20. That shit will have you pissing all the time but it worked great for me. I used it drop weigth for a bench competition and still kept my strength.

the more water you drink the less you will hold....if 1 gallon isnt doing it for you try drinking 1 1/2 or 2 .... i know its a bitch drinking that much water, but if its something that can be corrected without adding more drugs or diuretics than that seems like a good way to do it... give it a try

i 100 percent agree with this. if your holding too much water drink more. just drink enough so you start urinating more frequently. this helps me out more than any drug has. k to you crunkjuice. great advice!!

Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot and let ya know how things turn out. Should I consider Aromasin in place of the A-dex as well?

i would switch to aromasin as stated above as well as increasing your water intake. if you cannot grow on 500test and 400deca, something is wrong! no need to increase the test!

I agree. I have got accustomed to utilizing OTC water pill when cycling with Deca, and it seems to "equalize" well.

I would still certainly try to minimize the gatorade and sodium, and force yourself to consume more water first, but instead of trying to add more A-dex or add Aromasin, try with a simple, cheap solution first and see how your body responds. It has worked for me, although my face/hands have never really been bloated, so I cannot speak to that. For the other traditional trouble spots, if not retaining TOO bad, OTC diuretics have worked well with me. Good luck!

gatorade has a lot of sodium. there is 100mg is each 8ozs. switch to plain water. plus, some foods have a lot of sodium as well. watch your sodium intake and make the above changes and you should be fine.

Quick update, I'm drinking around 2 gallons of water a day and upped the A-Dex to 1mg ED. I'm waiting for my aromasin to come in and will switch to that when it does. I also cut out the Gatorade.

I lost 3 lbs and feel much better overall. I'm guessing the water did the trick! Thanks again!

 

[crunkjuice]

glad to hear things are working out for you man, its always great when a simple solution works!

lower the sodium intake and get a mild duitetic, take along some potassium tables to help with the cramps...........

Another thing i like to do is when im holding too much water is i go thorugh a few gallons of distilled water over 2 days this always seems to get the extra water off but its not something you want to do all the time as it will also strip your body of nutirents but as long as your taking your suppliments that shouldnt be a problem...
