Serious Bloat Problems - - Help!

[Gettinold]

Hi all. I could use some quality insight/input on the following:

I have 4 cycles under my belt. Each time I have used test, most recently I used 500mg/week of cyp. Each cycle I have had tremendous bloating problems. My waist expands by about 2-2.5 inches and it is mostly all water bloat. I know this b/c my diet is clean and b/c when I am off cycle for about 2.5 weeks, each time my big bloated waist suddenly disappears and I'm semi-lean again. Also, when on cycle my face blows up like a balloon and when I come off my face becomes fairly lean and angular again.

I'm a bit confused as to why I'm bloating b/c I'm using .5 to 1 arimidex/ day. I thought this should be sufficient to preclude any aromatization to estrogen.

For future cycles I am planning on stacking some EQ but to be honest, even though I can pack on some decent muscle with a cycle, it almost isn't worth it due to the bloat.

Any insight into the cause of this problem and solutions would be much appreciated.

thanks,
GO

Your A-dex might be bunk. Are they pills or did you go through a research chemical company? (Bad idea IMO). Tell us what brand you have. Perhaps you may need Letrozole or Aromasin. You might want to add Nolva ASAP as well.

what slyder said is right on maybe you got fake stuff or msybe you needed more you could also try letrozole or aromasin everyone respond differently so you gotta find what works for you

It sounds like you're just susceptible to bloat....

You should try upping your Arimidex to 3MG ed and see if that puts a dent in the bloat. Also, think about running Nolvadex @ 20MG ed during cycle.

As previously mentioned, I suggest you use a brand name Arimidex (AstraZeneca), perhaps it's the quality of the Arimidex that is the problem.

First, thanks for the initial replies. However, this A-Dex is right from the pharmacy and is name brand. Perhaps I simply need to use more but I thought A-Dex is really powerful and never envisioned having to use anything approaching 3mg/day. Makes sense though b/c I must be susceptible to the bloat.

I've never heard of letrozole or aromasin so I'll have to check that out.

As far as adding 20mg of Nolva, I thought that as a SERM Nolva would not really do anything for the bloat. Am I wrong about that?

Thanks for the input so far and bump for more.

How is your water intake?? I think that 3mg of Anastrozole is overkill and VERY expensive...Unless you have a pharmacy connection...buddy Research some more ancillarys and keep us posted.

when i did a recent cycle of sus 500/wk i experienced no bloat without the use of arimidex. it may help that i do a reasonable amount of cardio but division may be right, some guys are probably more susceptible to bloat.

but 2 inches on your waist!?!? do you think that is truly a result of your test usage? do you do any cardio while using?

it just seems way more logical to me to do some cardio while on test to minimize bloat and avoid taking umpteen drugs. i understand the importance of ancillaries while on cycle but it sometimes seems creepy for men to be taking all these drugs meant for women, fertility, etc.

Some guys are susceptible to bloat just like some are more susceptible to Gyno. It's a matter of genetics and biochemistry.

Creepy or not, the drugs have a purpose and Arimidex has been shown to be a strong aromatase inhibitor. It just might be that he needs to use more than 1MG ed.

I am the same way guys. No matter how much adex I take 500+mgs of test is gona bloat me bad. Thats why I started using dandlion root and expiramenting with water intake.

Don't fuck with your water intake. You need alot of water, regardless of bloat.
