Why The Hell Am I Getting Mass While Cutting!!?

[toxicsambo]

O.k, I've been on my cutting cycle for 5 weeks now. Goes like this:

Winstrol-350mgs/week
Proviron-25 mgs ED
T-3: taper up and down, start at 25mcgs for 7 days, then 50, 75, and down to 50 etc.

Diet: Clean protein. Eggs, broiled chicken, fish, whey isolate. My only carbs come from 1 baked potato a day and some cucumber and tomato in my salads. Drinking water, tea, coffee( no sugar) My calories never exceed 1,200 a day.

Workout: In the gym 5-6 days a week. 1 muscle per day, reps of 8/6/4/2/8, 2-3 exercises. I do cardio every time for an hour. I mix 30 min of jump rope and 30 min of walk/jog on the treadmill. I do abs every day.

O.k, so since I started my cycle others have said " Your losing weight fast" So I'm thinking " Perfect, Just as planned." But instead of maintaining my size from my bulk cycle in a supposed catabolic state with T-3 and a calorie deficit, I'm getting fkn huge!!! Yes, I'm getting harder and shedding fat, but my muscle mass is ballooning. HOW!?

I weighed myself at the gym yesterday and I'm 247lbs!! I do not want to be this fkn big. How does this happen when I'm doing so much cardio and eating so little. I mean, gawddamn! So much for the theory that T-3 is highy catabolic, bcuz in my case it's bs. I'm comitting myself to a 12 week cutting regiment, so I have 2 months and a week to go. Maybe things will even out. Any thoughts bor's????

what was your starting weight? unless your highly responsive to T3, i doubt at the dose your taking, that its responsible. seems kind of low, but then again, if your not exceeding 1200 calories, then maybe it could be working.

have you taken actual measurements to see if your really growing, or if its just a placebo effect. it could be that because you look a lot harder that you appear bigger, but in reality, your not. just curious, tryin to help a brutha out.

Are you carbing up by any chance?? How quickly did you jump into the cutting cycle?... From how you describe it, seems like you put your body in starvation mode.. 1200 calories a day ... for 247?!?!!?! and cardio?!!?! I think you could be overdoing it....

from your avatar, you look like you can easily add mass so maybe down the dosing on the winny and see if you stop gaining so much muscle..

carb deplete a couple days and then refeed. Your calories are way to low either way.

so youre shedding fat AND your muscles are ballooning? Knock on wood...and KEEP DOING WHAT YOUVE BEEN DOING THEN! Lucky bastard, lol.

I thought that was a good thing...
Quick question. The workout reps you are doing... I'm assuming you are using heavy weights and low reps? That might be your prob. You are using strength muscles. Use your endurance muscvles but using low weights, high reps, short breaks that way you are keeping your blood pumping. It's like a full fledged cardio/weight session. It's keeps me slimmed.

He's not trying to lose muscle...

1200 calories? you'll probably lose muscle eventually with such a low calorie diet

With carefully planned refeeds, this is probably the most effective way to diet.
