+ 1 How much can you gain in a cycle
ad
I ask this in curiosity of what would be a good size gain in your biceps per cycle. 1/2 inch 1/4 inch or an inch or more. From what it looks like from my previous cycle my arms were 16 and 1/4. They went up to 18 but after some water weight loss and some fat I'm at 171/4 nop pump. I've never had gains this good from any cycle done. I started at 218 and ended at 238. And I did not get fat on cycle. I have veins showing in places never before seen. I still am not where I want to be yet but am very pleased with the results. So my question is has anyone else had an inch or so gains in a specific muscle group.

to me, my gains are directly related to how much i eat, not how much gear im running. i have done milder cycles and got better results by turning my diet up a notch. i can do the nastiest cycle in the world but if i dont feed myself properly i am going to really limit my gains. if your arms went up 4 inches though, i would definitely consider that a success. i dont think my arms have ever went up 4" in one cycle!
AnonYou can add an inch just by growing a beard. Your biceps will look at your face and know you're not playing around. With that said, cycling test cyp or enth at 500mg a week for 8-10 weeks 3 times per year for the past 5ish years with a diet that consists of eating anything edible has gotten me to 22" arms, 56" chest and a 34" waist, my Tricep is a lot bigger than my bicep. But that's me, everyone is different.
Area-1255Hehheh, nice one bro!
basskiller89I put on 10lbs a year over the last 5 years. I hover around 200lbs give or take the 10lbs I lose every time I PCT
Depends on genetic, diet, wo routine, enough rest, quality of your gear.
Just for your info: more gear means definitely not more gains!!!
Hello Sir,
As you probably already know it all will depend on number of various factors and great amount of weight gain is not always an indicator of a successful progress. It will depend a lot on your starting point - your BF percentage and your body composition.
In most of the cases what we see regularly in the gym, athletes with excess percentage of fat incorporate hormonal substances or combination of substances with the hope to get competition ready look and gain muscle mass at the same time but everything works opposite way. These athletes gain 20 pounds of overall weight and muscle mass will be a fairly small percentage out of it, in this case the size of the biceps muscles will not really matter.
The best indicator what I always recommend are pictures (before and after), this way you can always monitor your progress (if any) fairly easy.
Regards
My arms went from 18inches to 18 3/4 in a 16 week primo run. And I dropped 26 pounds of mostly fat. How bout that for some gains? Don’t underestimate primobolan. Some guys say it’s weak but that’s not my experience.
+1 mate
It's not "weak " by no means......I've seen guys completely transform on 400-600mg a week of primo
But as always diet and training must be 100%
No doubt, it just opens the door, you still gotta walk through it.
Primo seems awesome to me it has interested me as of late. How did you run it buddy?
800 primo e 300 test e 16-18 weeks.
That’s a good place to start, I do very poorly with elevated test so I run my test lower now with some other anabolics for libido because Primo will blunt your libido at 800mg+
Really? that's interesting, being a dht derivative why does it do that?
This is getting a little off topic so for further conversation let’s take it to pm but honestly I don’t know why. While primo is technically DHT derivative it’s effect is very different. It isn’t metabolized the same way DHT is which leaves it free to build muscle much longer. It also has very little affinity for shbg so while proviron is great for blocking shbg primo sucks. Both are DHT related. Primo doesn’t exhibit any of the psychological effects of DHT either, like aggression or sex drive.
Like I said PM for more, we’re mucking up the thread.
Got ya, sorry for getting off topic on the thread op
Food is tough sometimes to put down. For some reason this time it seems the dbol suppressed appetite a bit for me. I don't incorporate enough veggies when bulking.
Pull it out if it’s suppressing your appetite. Veggies when bulking?
X2
Appetite and food have to be your first priority. Putting a drug first is putting the cart in front of the horse. If you do have trouble eating on dbol and your liver is ok on bloodwork try running mk677 with it. I like 50 mgs mk taken in the morning, then 50mgs dbol preworkout only. If dbol were the only anabolic I would say split the dose but if you’ve got a good amount of oils in the mix it’s not necessary IMO.
Alright I should say I don't eat any veggies . I like off cycle eating though I feel more healthier.
I think you might be asking the wrong question.
The question you may want to consider is how much food would you have to eat to gain xyz in size.
For me to hit 20” arms (offseason with a respectable condition) took a lot of discipline with the food.
I don't have specific measurements but I've gained 23 lbs on a cycle once. This has been some years back. My lats, traps and,delts were insane along with my quads on lower body. I did a ton of multi-joint/compound lifts. Always going heavy. I wish I had kept logs back then. At cycles end I,couldn't wear any pants,except sweats. Quads were amazing. Biggest cchallenge is how much can you preserve through hard word to carry into next cycle to,add to again?
What was your cycle if you don’t mind me asking?
I’ve actually never done the bicep measurement thing 1. I don’t have a loose tape measure 2. I kind of don’t want to know and get depressed about it lol
You made some big ass weight gain do you know what your bf% before & after was? I can say with certainty I’ve gained an easy inch plus in the chest and shoulder to shoulder. Everything has grown that’s the point but I do wish I could pick my arms up as quickly as everything else! Seems like you know what you’re doing to get them growing what were you doing for arms?
Try finishing your back routine with close grip ( supinated, 1" or 2" apart) pullups. Make sure arms are fully extended. 1 second on the way up/hold/2 sec on the way down. DO NOT CHEAT FROM BOTTOM POSITION ! And dont use straps.
Cycle was 700 test cyp 400 deca. 50mg dbol first 4 weeks. Hgh 6 ius proviron 50 mg and humalog 10iu twice a day. All ancilleries as needed, caber and arimidex. No pct due being on permanent trt dose of 150 mg a week. I didn't do body fat measurements. I should of but didn't.
Maybe that’s the secret ingredient I’m missing haha. I’ve been doing a lot of research lately on gh but am not comfortable enough or feel educated enough to start playing with it. I’ve made some great gains on my most recent cycle and have my diet on point now so we’ll see where the road takes me.
