16lbs in three weeks.

[Mr. MMA]

with a 3% bf decrease. You can find my diet and cycle in a thread I started here in the beginners forum. I'm pretty happy with results so far. Wondering if my gains will stay this solid.

I'm sorry , but I don't believe 16 lbs of muscle is possible in three weeks .

Well, actually it would be more with a 3% BF decrease.

what you taking???
dont make us flipflop around for info

 

[Mr. MMA]

cycle

I'm on 100mgs test p 50mgs winni and 75mg test e eod about to drop the test p. Used it to front load test. Alot of my gains were probably muscle memory I was lighter than I've been in a while. Good gear good diet. Don't care if you think it's possible I've seen the results first hand. Bf% could even be closer to 4% decrease. Used the xbox looking bf tester.

 

[tenny]

well.....i never gauge my gains til i'm off a while

NEVER on......it dont make sense

ofcourse you'll be up when on

the test is how much are you gonna keep???

and your prolly not gonna like my answer

 

[HOTROCKS]

So ! your telling me it is possible to be able to put on 16 lbs of pure muscle in three weeks ?

Im on first cycle ever right now too. I was using it (or so i thought) to just hold on to muscle while dieting. I got too fat, prob 13-15% in the 'offseason' but ive dropped to single digits (im guessing) and im 2 pds heavier then when i started. 10 weeks in. I cant believe how much you can gain! That leads me to my worry though, as i dont really count any of these gains until im off for a while, like tenny said. It just doesnt make sense to count it while on, unless youre never planning on coming off.

 

[swedemiester77]

Can you explain this, "Alot of my gains were probably muscle memory"

I thought muscle memory involved a certain movement, i.e. a pitcher's motion to the plate.

Also, I call BS on 3%, put the plastic calipers down and get a hydro test if you want to make claims. Shit, I can gain that much weight in a week or two on Dbol, but be a fat ass.

 

[bigprimp]

It's possible

I have personally seen a guy go from 165 to 190 in about 8 weeks while on very small amount of test and D bol and his gains were pretty solid. The guy was a state level body builder at 230 pounds, quit training and gear for 2 years to have a kid. His size and strength gains in his first 8 week back to gym were amazing. According to him his gains had a lot to do with muscle memory and the change in diet.

i dont think that gaining 16 pounds of solid muscle in 3 weaks is possable but gaining that much weight is possable.WATER WEIGHT.....

I myself have gained almost 30 pounds in the last 2-3 months but i also gained some BF% too.....

 

[bigprimp]

He didn’t say he gained 16 pounds of muscle in 3 weeks. I agree 16 pounds of pure muscle in three weeks is impossible. But 16 pounds of muscle and water with out a gain in body fat is possible.

I was going to say that more than half of it is probably water being retained. Once you go off, you end up pissing out all of that water and deflate.

 

[Mr. MMA]

water weight

some is probably water I look a little puffy for sure, but I have a very very lowsodium diet and I run a hard mile in plastic sweat suit before weighing myself every other day. I've been a 184-186.5 for around 9 days now.

A lot of it is within the muscle. When nitrogen balance is high I think that it helps attract water within the muscle.

yep, your probably right. besides putting on that much means at least one thing.....you are/were nowhere near your genetic potiental, but most don't care about getting to that point anymore.

That is what I was getting at .

 

[NeveReveN]

So You Started at 160 lbs?

Is this right? You started your cycle at ( EDIT) 170 lbs? How tall are you? What's your age? How many years have you been lifting consistently?

 

[chevy1234]

Always for endurance and martial arts, body weight work outs, but from 21-25 I srttled down and got fat weighed 196 with nomuscle had like a 36'' waist. Yes I started at 170 this time now I'm only running 700mgs test e a week. Consistently weighing 185.??.
