Week 3 Bloat
ad
Going on week 3 of test cycle. Its all in my profile, you can check it out. Monday will be the start of week 3, so I'm almost 2 full weeks down. It could be me, but I feel my face getting heavier and I'm up 5lbs from Monday, almost up 18lbs since the beginning of the cycle.
My diet is extremely clean with 1 cheat meal a day. That cheat meal is food added to the original chicken and potato meal. If Im not hungry, I wont add in food after my regular portion. Drinking 1.5 gallons of water a day.
Should I wait another couple days or a week to see if the bloat continues before I start my A-Dex?

smallguyOk. Back to the strict pre contest diet I go. Logan is going to help me with my diet. Ill do an update after 2 full weeks tomorrow morning. PAYCE
Bodybuilder or bodyblubber... WTF with cheat meals...NON STARTER!
1 cheat meal a day? Does he realize one night at the bar with beer and bar food equals 3 days of training to take off? 1 cheat meal a day=2 days of training. He is going backwards and now asks why? The answer is in his own words 1 cheat meal a day! On cycle equals no cheat meals. You train harder eat better and get more rest than ever. That is the way to maximize your cycle.
smallguySo on cycle, in theory, Im trying to get as lean as I can? What is the reasoning for no cheat days on cycle?
Like I posted 1 cheat day will take 3 days to work off. That is 3 days that you can be capitalizing on your cycle. Even going out on Friday night drinking will set you back. The next day your body is dehydrated and it will take a full day of large water consumption to get back to where you were before you went out drinking. Off Cycle a cheat meal here and there is fine even the pros do that. But on cycle you have a small window to get the most out of your compounds.So eat as clean as possible train as hard as possible and get plenty of rest. FR me if you are interested, I'll help you out with a diet.
smallguyAlright, makes more sense. Good thing I dont drink. FR sent
FR approved
smallguyka BOOOOOOOM
lmao... cheat meal does NOT = extremely clean....
smallguyI cheat because my metabolism is stupid fast. My diet is on point. If I'm hungry, I eat.
Regardless of extremely clean, or whatever the argument is, no more than 600 calories out of my 4500 a day are bad calories "if you would". I can still see my abs and veins throughout my body. Not trying to sculpt.
And the only "bloaty" feeling I'm getting is on my face. Still fairly lean all around.
Cheat meal 1x a week of that bro not everyday thats not a proper diet having a piece of crap everyday!
smallguyIm fairly vascular in my arms and chest/shoulder region. My bodyfat is in the 12% range. And Im eating 32oz of meat a day with rice and sweet potatos as carb sources. And sometimes Im still hungry, so Ill throw in a true mass shake (in addition to my meal) and thatll hold me over until my last meal of the night.
Or I'll make a bunch of rice cakes with peanut butter.
Regardless, I can still see my abs and vascularity in my calves. That is why I cheat.
biggerthanyouA cheat meal everyday is too much in my opinion.
zewithis is so true. I may have a cheat meal once a month.. and thats because its diner at friends or something like that
fck man once a month?? i do once a week on sunday and its hard enough for me to make it that long!! i gotta step my game up lol but i used to be a fat kid and so i have always liked to eat!
Start your adex now.
I like to be right on the edge of bloat while I bulk.
I like a little higher estrogen on my bulks but there is a risk of gyno.
Estrogen has alot to do with the release GH and IGF-1.
