Test, DBol, Deca bloat

[DjcDevils1988]

Started a cycle after losing 150lbs. 500 mg Test, 300 Deca, 30 mg of Dbol. I was on 150 mg of Test for about 6 months before with no issues. I’m experiencing crazy bloat/water retention. Gained about 30 lbs of water in 2 weeks, and it’s causing ankle swelling. Blood pressure is rising but nothing crazy at the moment.

Wondering what the next step should be before abandoning this cycle. I have no idea if the Dbol or the Deca is the culprit. Estradiol is only 55. Should I cut one. Which one? How long after should I expect water bloat to subside?

your bloat will subside once your E2 comes down. you didn't mention anything about an AI which is mandatory on this one

You've got to lower your estrogen. That's going to be the key. Maybe pick up some Letro.

this is normal on this sort of cycle. run something else or use anti estrogen drugs

Bros, you should be taking an AI from day one. I don't care what anybody says.

You're not going to die; however you are putting yourself at risk of getting gyno. You don't want to end up having to pay for a five-figure surgery.

Get that e2 under control and that will help a lot

If you are not on an AI thays why you are so bloated

That stack is a recipe for a water park if your diet and estrogen management aren't 100% on point. Dbol is notorious for methylestradiol conversion which hits much harder than regular estradiol from the Test.

Two things that helped me in the past with this:

Dose Split: Instead of 30-50mg of Dbol once a day, split it into 3 doses to avoid massive spikes.
Quality Check: A lot of "bloat" actually comes from low-grade gear with high solvent concentrations that cause systemic inflammation. This is why I only trust labs that use high-purity API like Deus Medical or Gp—it's night and day on how the body handles the inflammation.

If the bloat is already there, watch your sodium, keep your water at 1.5+ gallons, and maybe swap the Dbol for Tbol next time if you're prone to holding water.
