Water retention on Deca
ad
I'm 5 weeks into my first Deca cycle & prepared for water retention. I'm not doing anything to counter retention, instead accepting that this is a byproduct of bulking up. I'll deal with the excess water later when it comes to cutting.
Now here's the interesting bit, I'm pissing like a camel! Seriously, passing water is now such a major event I sit down & play a few levels of candy crush while my bladder empties.
It's honestly like a practical joke, I check the mirror after peeing to see if I look like a prune. Has anyone else experienced this, is certainly not my definition of water retention...

From my experience high carbs diet alongside with high estro results in most water retention, whilist estro in check, high fat, low-mid carbs doesn't in excesive water weight gain.
Yep, estro in check, lower BF and moderate carbs should keep you from looking like the Michelin Man.
Not sure why you would be pissing any more than normal unless you are taking some diuretics or just recently introduced your AI, which it sounds like you probably have since you are just in at 5 wks. Usually going from high estro to lower estro will have you dumping water but it should stabilize once your estro stabilizes. One of the main reasons we crash estro fora comp is to expel the maximum amount of subq water.
Water retention is also a byproduct of high estrogen are you using a anti estrogen? Or anti prolactin deca also raises prolactin
Give a blood work and you know what value and what compound do you need ;-)
