water retention from ALA?

Re: Re: water retention from ALA?

you will mostlikely end up with a distended belly

dude you ain't kidding. i know for a fact that my damn belly is sticking out due to the ALA. my upper abs and side's are looking pretty decent, but i got this damn gut sticking out for no apparent reason. not a lot of fat there at all, just jutting out. this sucks. does it go away with time and why the fuck does it happen. i hate it.

strange im on 6g a day, an my waist is like 28 in the morning. do you guys mean water retention or actually gut protrusion?
 
ha! funny thing i saw your pic today on the 7:00 thread and said "that fucker probably never gets bloat or ala gut with that waist". too funny. but its pretty much just a protrusion....i mean its not like i don't have some fat down on my lower abs, because i hold most of my fat there........but it protrudes out like a mofo with the ala. could be ala and dbol doing it in tandem though. i really feel its the ala since i am on arimidex .5mg the whole time. but i may be wrong.

lol. i hold water like a sponge; this may be due to imbalanced hormones though. usually about 3 months post cycle when my hormones have stablized i can maintain a tight ass midsection all the time. i can hit close to 26 inches at total ripness, but too much mass is sacrificed:( Thank god Mr. Liquidex is coming to visit soon:D

so its actually a protrusion eh? weird; i have not noticed any more bloating in my gut then the usual. (from all the food i eat). i wonder what causes this?

i hate to blame ALA, since like you said tons of food bloats up the old tummy. and dbol will make you hold water even with arimidex.....but it was funny how i was doing well all around execpt for this protrusion. there were several threads on it, called "ala gut", but i have been too lazy to search for them. i will probably do it now though. :) i think it is a combo of 4K plus cals plus dbol plus ala. BTW: you are taking 6 grams of ala! shit! thats a lot. your piss must be rancid!! :D do you feel you are making out better on 6 grams vrs 3 grams?
 
I am on 4-5 g a day and am constantly hungry--abs are starting to show through better after only 3 days and am also thirsty as a mofo but no water retention.

Feel like I am hypocaloric or something....but I am not.

i also am constantly thirsty. maybe it is the ala. i am doing 3 grams a day, now i feel like i am underdosing or something with all you 4-6 grammers. something is killing my appetite though....i am usually hungry on ala. maybe the dbol. not sure what the hell is killing it, but i suppose its good since i get much of my cals from supplementary sources anway. less cheating that way.

HAHA! my piss is putrid, i have to leave the fan on after each piss, morning pisses are the worst; wallpaper actually starts peeling from the tops of my walls, lol.

Im taking alot of ALA right now, cause im still a little low on natty test and i dont want to loose mass. Its working quite well too. Im trying to maintain the state of leaness that i have right now, and 1g per meal seems to be doing it. At this does i honestly think it is comparable to low doses of weak AS. soon enough it will go back to 250mg per meal. 6g a day gets a lil pricey.
 
damn. i'll have to try 6 grams on "off cycle" time. sounds good.

whose ALA are you using? I think iceman's is quite reasonable and comes in 500mg. pills.

Right now im using the 500mg caps from www.anabolical.com thery are good. pretty cheap too, the damn US exchange rate kills me though, lol.

I may give iceman a ring a ding dong soon i only have one bottle of 100 caps left.
 
HOLY SMOKES!
I'm just gaining water like never before from 2g of ALA. I'm not even eating carbs last 2 meals. Is this common??? Or is it only me..?
 
ALA gut

Yeah, my gut is looking pretty weird right now. I'm taking 1.5-2gm of ALA per day, and the lower part of my abs seems to be much more bloated than usual. It's not a gunt or anything, just some extra water right below the belly button. I'm not on AS, either.
 
Guy/girl thing??? I take usually take 1800mg/day, sometimes more--I don't have that bloat thing at all and I can bloat believe me. Cannot be the ALA and if it is would be curious if it's particular to men. Also it makes me pee like crazy and my waist is smaller sometimes I notice by an inch at least--I measured, thought my ass was getting bigger but it was just an illusion caused by the smaller waist size. I took 3000mg today--I'll check the waist thing in the morning--could be the higher doses?

just as with me then, lower abs are gone ;(


okay so i think you guys are on to something, yesterday i cut down on my last couple intake of ALA (diet is same daily) and i woke up tighter, especially in the abs. So im thinking ALA does cause bloat.

The only thing i can think of is that 1g of carb can absorb 4g of water, so maybe at high doses your body tends to "overspill" what cant be shuttled to your muscles in your skin? This is just logic here, i have no evidence of this "theory" whatsoever.

Bump for FONZ:)
