Test + Deca cycle... strength gains when?

[Apexx]

Cool beans... I'm just gonna try to eat more... although for some reason any and all AS cause a significant decrease in appetite for me... it's almost like I have to shove the food down my throat.

I hope this cycle should be enough to get my bench up 80 - 100 lbs or so. The last time I ran deca and test, I also ran dbol at 40mg/ed and put 100 lbs on my bench press in the first 4 weeks.... but the bloat almost killed me.

One thing though, my face is fat as HELL... and I'm doing 1 hour per day of heavy cardio (kickboxing class)... how can I get my face to lose the "fat look?" Should I do neck exercises?

Neck exercises??? WTF Dude, what in the hell is that going to do for water retention in your face? All that's going to do is give you a bigger neck.

I don't think anything is specifially designed for facial bloating, but adding arimidex at about .5mg/ed should definitely bring the bloat down a good bit.
Also, make sure you're getting plenty of water. If your body is well hydrated, it won't feel the need to hold onto water.

Good luck with the neck exercised..........just kidding bro.

Have I done a cycle before? LOL... yeah, a few. I know a decent amount about lifting and juice. Even when I'm "off", there are few if any men in my gym (Golds) that can match my strength. I'm 5'10, 274 lbs., bench 405 for reps... I've worked out for about 16 years... I'm not completely in the dark... rest assured.

The basis for my question about reduction in facial bloat with neck exercises is this: when I seek spot fat reduction in a particular body part, doing high-rep exercises seems to have a positive impact on that area... and since I'm unable to conjure a manner in which my face would exercies (with the exception of eating more and exercising my jaw)... I wondered if additional neck exercises might positively affect my facial appearance.... it was just a thought.

This is the lightest cycle I've ever done, I kept it this way to avoid the bloat (I usually balloon up close to 300 lbs. when on)... and I was a little anxious about when to expect the additional strength gains to set in... that's all.

Why dont u make the test 500mg/week instead of 250. Also it should start kicking this week, but for a low test dose it might need more time.

i agree with this - also i know some people who dont see massive strength increase - if i am training with low volume and low reps - i very rarely see massive increases however i try to time my cycles for when im peaking with lots of volume and i then would say i hold my strength for longer for example i would squat 180kg for 12 reps for 3-4 sets and prob keep same rep range where as off cycle would get 12 ,9,6,4 for example )
