Taking on weight too quickly

ad

Cycle:
wk 1 Frontloaded 1000test e/1000 eq
wk 1-12 test p 100 Su/Tu/Th
wks 2-12 500 eq
wks 2-14 500 test e
(Possible npp 100 3xwk wks 10-13 w/cabor)
EX 12.5 EOD

Fuck me! I am getting too heavy too quickly... The EQ is kicking hard so my appetite is through the roof. My diet is fairly clean (a lil cheat here and there... IT'S THE FUCKING HOLIDAYS FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, but not even close to reckless) I don't really want to dial down the cals (not yet at least) so I've upped the cardio, but i don't want to up it too much and burn away my gains...

So my brethren, this is where i turn to my peeps

Should I:

(a) continue to try and manipulate cardio/cals?

(b) Keep an eye on it in the hopes that my metabolism will figure out WTF we're doing?

(c) Fuck it! Plow through food like I'm a fucking powerlifter and deal with it in the spring cutter?

THIS is why I LOVE this board, so I don't have to mindfuck myself all by my lonesome ((LOL)))

I know I know all of this stuff, but THIS is the power of the board (for me). I have someplace to purge my personal mind fucks ((LOL))

and I plan on making the plunge after this cycle to full on cruise. going kig/prop to see how that treats me

"A" is the answer! Thats what we do brother, everyday is seeing how I respond to different food, training, dose's, you know what im saying! I know my body gains much faster on carbs, so id go high protein, turn all my carbs into complex, take less time between sets, explain to my girl how important it is for me to get laid daily. tweak it brother, if it wasnt a challenge everybody would be successful...

I know bro, my challenge for the moment is that I've been eating heavy from wk 1 BUT my shit is just starting to kick in now (wk 4)... So, do I wait and see if my metabolism adjusts to my food intake + compounds or do i start tweaking right now and risk potential gains

Well your far enough out from summer to let a little bulk get going and see what happens, nothing prop and tren cant take care of later!

Holy shit I can relate. First cycle in about 19 years and I am up from 212 to 231 as of yesterday in just about 6 weeks of test E 500mg. Its insane. Fat is going down though and tightening up. The joints are feeling it though from rapid strength gain. I actually have adjusted to moderate weight and high reps. Biggest worry now is wardrobe because my shirts are all blowing out especially in the arms. Have gone from 17 1/2 while natural to 18 1/4 in 6 weeks. My boy is up from 225 to 250 running same shit as me. Only half way through.

Cut down calories, up your fiber/vegetable/fruit intake or I should say change some of your calories frm meat/chicken to the fruits and veggies, like manipulate your diet. My mom was a nutrionist so my whole life I kinda got an earfull of that, diet is everything but u know that

I'll tell you right now---a brisk walk on a treadmill for 20 minutes does wonders for me, and it's not enough to adversely affect my gains. I do just enough to keep me at a slight huff for 15-20 min.

I already do 1.2mi on a bicycle ea way to the gym PLUS 10-15 on the tread... dont want to push anymore than another 10 on the tread... I just like to get the heart rate up

livingthedream's picture

how far into the cycle are you and will you be changing compounds at some point during?

wk 4 bro just kicking in... was going to run some npp towards the end but I believe in not getting too clever ; )

It's winter bro pack that fucking meat in like your stealing tri tips from a store. But quality meat don't excuse yourself because of the holidays. Get some nice ab workouts to squash that beer belly look and keep packing!!!

Just laying out ALL of the options bro, trust me my GI issues won't take too much abuse ((LOL))

plow through it baby!!!! unless for some reason you have a hard time cutting.... i dont but thats me.... food + heavy weights = mass!!!
but i am afraid one of these days my metabolisn is gonna fly the coup...then im screwed....lol

Fuck it...eat everything....and then do it AGAIN in the spring. It's a lot harder to gain muscle than to lose fat. I always place muscle-gain at the top of the priority list.

I'm always a fan of bulking, and then cutting. However, do not plow through any food you can find. Keep your diet clean, and try not to go too overboard with the cals.

I would advise to go the "lean bulk" route.

I don't know what you are taking, but very rapid weight gain is largely due to water.

Wish it was water bro that would be easy... I'm doing test/eq 500/500 (+300 test p) with 12.5 EX EOD

The rest of me is coming along great, just looking a bit heavy in the middle (LOL)
