stopped gaining on sust

[Testo]

Im in week 5 of my dbol\sust cycle, i stopped the dbol after 4 weeks and im now on 500mg sust after starting with 750mg for the first 3 weeks.

The weight gains more or less stopped after week 3 and now the strength gains are little to none.

Im thinking i should have run the sust at 750mg for 10 weeks but i didnt have enough for that..

From those that have used the karachis, do you keep on gaining after week 5?

for me the big weight gains start to taper off around week 5/6 and i notice a strength loss after i stop the dbol but that doesnt mean the sus isnt working anymore. just up the cals and keep training hard, the strength gains and lbm will still be there. i have done the exact cycle as you are on, and its very solid. good luck

thanks chanmanfoo, thought it was a tad strange since most people seem to say the sust gains never seem to kick off until week 5-6, but im also using 1mg arimidex eod so maybe im just missing the water gains.

Ive gone from 195-213 so far so if i up the cals and maybe switch the training around i hopefully should be able to gain a couple more quality pounds

dude....

i'm know what youre going through.

i'm on my 9th week of sustanon. i started believing that 250mg a week could give me awesome results. at the end of week 4 i realized that it ain't so so at week 5 upped to 500mg a week. week 7 to 750 a week.

its now the beginning of week 9 and i'm feeling so much better, looking much better and progress continues every day.

if i could do it over again i would frontload.
first 2 weeks i would take 500mg every 3 days. then, 500mg every 5 days.

eat more and up the dose and hope for the most.

I would have to agree with Dial tone. It doesn't sound like the sustanon (which in my opinion should lead to most of the gains on your cycle) has done a damn thing for you. You may want to look at checking if you gear is real. Karachis are great. 1st cycle was: week 1-10 250mg karachi sust/week. Ended up keeping 15lbs of muscle from that.

Everyone's body reacts differently to gear. I find it strange that Sust kicks in so early for people myself. Last cycle I didn't feel any different until about week 6, and starting week 3 of my Sust only cycle now I don't feel any different either.

I wish my gains started to kick in a little earlier, but there's nothing to worry about, I know it'll happen shortly.

FRONTLOADING!!!!!!!!!

sustanon MUST be frontloaded!

You could also look at it this way: The dbol adds a lot of water weight that is not quality lbm. So the dbol stretches the skin and makes you look bigger because of the extra fluid your retaining. When the sust kicks in, it will fill the water space with more lean muscle. So while it may not look like your gaining more size, you actually are because your filling in all the space that the water had previously occupied. I'm in the same boat with my current cycle dbol, enanthate, deca. Shot up about 25 pounds in the first 4 weeks after the dbol stopped, I've been gaining about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds a week. Currently week 7 of 10. My diet and training are on target, and the gear is real. But all the quality gains are coming now. Still maintaining good definition too.

Im more or less sure the sust is real, the batch numbers are a correct and sex drive has gone up a lot.

Anyway, you could be right about solid gains replacing water gains, all i can think of is that my body has adjusted to having 500mg already and its not enough for me to grow.

Do you think its too late to maybe through some deca in for the last 4 weeks? Otherwise if im not gaining i might as well just finish the cycle....

 

[chanmanfoo]

if you only have four weeks left save the deca, its a slow acting ester and will not benefit your situation. you could always up the sus if your sure your training and diet are in check. good luck bro
