Acceptable weight gain on 1st cycle
ad
Diet is dialed iv trained natty for years and was able to down to 8% bodyfat test via hydrostatic weighing. i was 171 pounds at 5'9 now i am about 10lbs heavier and am about to start the standard 500mgs test e cycle for 12 weeks...
I want to know whats a realistic weight gain goal? 1 pound a week? I wanna put on lean mass i dont wanna put on 30lbs and have half of it be fat.
IYO whats a typical or acceptable weight gain on a 1st cycle with a spot on diet

I know I'm new to the boards, but I'm not new to the AAS life. Everyones different mate, you could have 2 different people run the same cycle, workout the exact same and have the same diet but 1 might gain 10lbs while the other gains 20lbs. But to give you a number, assuming you're at your natural limit... gaining 20ish lbs isn't surprising. I know many many many people that have gained 20+ pounds and kept almost all of it their first time round. My first cycle (as I wasn't at my natty limit) I put on 26lbs and kept about 22 of it.
i have amazing food knowledge.. naturally i would shoot to gain 2lbs a month but with enhancement i would like to know what to shoot for
Eat healthy! Cardio off fat. Gain 12lbs......eat like crap....gain 30. Food dictates goals. If you dont have food knowledge you're not ready for steroids.
looking leaner doesnt mean u got leaner though if ur 10% and have a LBM of 125 ur going to look alot less lean then if ur LBM is 165
Well put it this way, I was skinny and not very athletic looking before. After I had full on 6 pack and was bigger. whether or not i actually gained fat doesnt matter because I looked better.
U wont gain much any fat on cycle dont worry, you can eat a little extra
I gained about 36lbs first cycle and lost fat!! Honestly I looked leaner after
Damn! were you below your genetic potential or something? I thought I did well at 27lbs
Possibly. But my appetite was rediculous and I took advantage of it! I also started getting better sleep and just worked really hard. However I only kept about 28lbs after pct so prob a little water
They only way you could put on 30pounds and be fat is with to many kcals mate. just keek your kcals up y 200or so a week and bring up every couple of weeks as you gain weight. remember not all weight will be muscle some will be water,glycogen and fat if your scared to eat maybe gain a bit of fat you wont grow to your max. look at all the pros they ate like monsters to get to their size so dont worry about that ok?? good luck. if your looking for weiht gain per week no1 can really tell you depends what your diet is like how many kcals and so on. as long as your getting bigger and in ok shape ul be fine
