Finishing a 16 week deca cycle no water retention?

[robthomas]

Hey guys just wanted some input on the 16 week cycle I'm on and I am at the last two weeks of . I ran test and deca started at 400 test a week and 300 deca a week slowly increased the dose to the end of this cycle of 500 test 500 deca . Did blood work before I started and mid cycle one to see we're I was at health wise and two to make sure my gear was really test levels were at 2500 and estrogen was in check at 21 and the range on the blood work for estrogen was anything over 37 was high on the blood work so I felt I had the sweet spot at 21 .ran arimedix eod at 1 ml and liquid caber at 0.5 the gains came clean and slow eating 5 clean meals a day started at 197 in shape but soft now I'm at 208 wider look way bigger but the scale didn't really go up much but in the mirror the gains were there forsure ! I really felt I but no water weight on at all and was not puffy more dry are some guys not as sensitive to the water retention? This was my first run with deca I expected the scale to push higher but maybe I just got cleaner gains and not all that fake water gains ? Been lifting 7 years natty and I am 34 this was my first cycle . And I have all the proper stuff to run the perfect pct protocol.

It's a big misconception that deca packs on water weight. If you eat like shit, dont drink enough water, don't control estrogen, or have your sodium too high sure you'll probably retain water. Deca is always dry for me and if you are doing things right it should be

Is deca the main steroid caber is used with? I have heard it mentioned a few times on these cycles with deca?

Yes u have to use caber with deca for prolactin and also arimedix or aromasin because you have to run test with deca most the time and caber with tren as well

Bump this. ONCE AGAIN no juice will work if diet, training, and supps aren't dialed in FIRST.

Wow bro, sounds like a good cycle. I finished a 14 week cycle of the same. But I started with 500 Test/350 Deca. It took about 8 weeks for me to notice the gains and weight increase, unfortunately the last 4 weeks of my cycle I had bad aromasin and my e2 sky rocketed and I gained some water weight. If I didn't run into the issue with aromasin, it would of been a great cycle. I was able to add some muscle but lost a bit afte coming off, I believe it was mostly water and glycogen.

10 pounds of clean keep able gains is great for your first cycle. I got about the same results, I'm looking forward to my second cycle. I'll run the same again but hopefully no issues with e2.
Which product did you run? Did you use a source from here?

deca holding water is all misconception... that happens simply when estrogen and/or prolactin are not controlled.. beyond that, deca is very very clean and probably one of the best options out there for a cleaner bulk...
