Weight gain/calorie/cycle question

[Slyder190]

I'm up about 14-15lbs as week 4 is almost up. Cyp and Deca are jsut kicking in, as my strength really started going up even more this week. I have also been on D-bol from the start. I am using arimidex as well. I know most gain any where from 15-25lbs during a cycle. This is my 3rd cycle. Honestly the first two may have been better if I ate more the 2nd time and didn't stasrt clomid too early the first time. My question is, should I keep on increasing calories slowly to continue gains? I will wait a few more days to a week, but I think the weight gain is beginning to cease. I'm at 4000 cal a day right now at 188lbs (5'8). Maybe add more protein calories? I know the higher your weight, the more calories you need for maintenance and to keep gaining. Should I up begunning up the calories again a little bit? Thanks.

Bump up your calories to 4200 - If gains increase in a favorable way than perhaps keep at it or increase another 200 cals. If not than cycle back down to a caloric intake you feel confortable with. Nobody can predict whether or not you will respond more / need to add additional calories - just add and find out. Nothing lost - more to gain

You said it yourself that the more muscle mass you put on the more calories you require to simply maintain that muscle mass let alone grow more. If your gains have stagnated caloric intake is the likely culprit. 4000 calories may have been sufficient to grow 15 pounds ago, but now that 4000 calories is only able to maintain your new muscle mass. This then would call for an increase in calories.
