Holding far too much water on test e

[20sam91]

Every time I run test enanthate I get ridiculous water retention. I'm fairly lean (12/13ish), have visible abs etc but 7 days into a 600mg test cycle I had the biggest gut since dave palumbo. A couple of people at work said I had gotten fat this week and I just can't take that sh*t so I have to do something about it. I'm just over 2 weeks in now and my waist is probably 3" inches bigger. Same thing happened last year. And no I'm not eating excess sodium / carbs etc and yes I'm taking an AI (aromasin @ 10mg / day). I'm also drinking a boatload of water.

Any ideas? I've heard people mention proviron but I'd rather not throw more drugs at it. I'm not against dropping test down to a trt dose and running something that doesn't aromatase if that'd work? Please chime in if you've any experience

Do you inject the 600mg all at once? I noticed that i hold far less water if i inject smaller dosages multiple times.

Doing it in 2 shots, Not ideal I know but surely good enough?

if its abdominal bloat then imo its diet related.
face bloat is somewhat diet related too but to lesser extent imo. some drugs just bloat the face, but sounds to me like you could minimize the midsection bloat with dietary changes.

I concur. Your diet may be good, but you may be eating too much, nutrient timing, etc. Lots of variables.

Go over ur diet. Maybe try a different ai like armidex

Try 1mg of adex for three days and I bet the bloat goes away. You could then drop to 0.5 eod.

It could be diet as the others have suggested, but I got the feeling that your diet has not changed much and the main variable is the testosterone.

Yeah, pretty much, I'm eating 400g of protein a day, few healthy fats and not many carbs. I was actually eating more carbs off cycle.

I've been using aromasin at 10mg / day - I wouldn't have thought adex is likely to work if this doesn't? I'm not just holding it in my stomach either - definitely a lot in my legs too. Any thoughts on dropping the test down and adding in a different compound or should this be unnecessary in theory?

Weighed in last night at 15lbs heavier than when I began - surely too much...

I had the same experience with the bloating while I was running Test E. My dietv wasn't anything like yours though haha.

Is that research liquid aromasin or pharm grade?

I do long esters EOD, and rarely use an AI, but bad carbs atill bloat me up. If I eat clean tho, all is well!!
