    Question about bf% on dbol/test e cycle

    Hey Guys quick question

    Im going to be running a test e/dbol cycle for my first ever cycle but I just have a quick question on the type of the results I might get.

    I'm 5'6 right now about 165lbs. Im fairly fit and not sure what my bf% is right now but its quite low I have fairly good muscle definition. I should really get it checked to know for sure. I dont want to guess but Im sure you can get the idea. I think I might have a picture in my profile too but it won't really give you the greatest of ideas. You can check it out though.

    Anyways my situation is if I should wait on running the dbol /test cycle as I do not want to be too bloated or too watery near the end.

    I have holidays at the end of March Im going to Miami for the ultra music festival. I obviously want to be in fairly good shape and still have my muscle definition cause heck Im going to be on the beach (I dont want to spend my trip too bloated and have a hard time picking up the ladies). But I heard a dbol/test cycle you will gain quite a bit of mass. I do not want to get too chunky around the face and I will not have time to cut after the cycle to make myself more defined either. If I start my cycle now around 12 weeks it will end around right when I have to leave.

    So basically thats my question at the end of my cycle do you generally become more beefier and have to cut afterwards to get the muscle definition back? How did you find the fat / weight in the face ? I dont want to be too much of a beefcake and have to cut.

    Without listing my AI's and pct I'll be running 30mg of dbol weeks 1-4 and 500mg of test for the first 1-10 or 1-12 weeks..

    So lol to sum it all up after the cycle are people generally more bloated and have to cut after the cycle or do some people come out "beach ready" at the end? Or I know obviously my workout schedule and diet will play a huge factor in this as well but can I totally control it ? I was even thinking about trying to put on mass for the first 8 weeks eating as much as I can on a clean diet and then near the end last 4 weeks possibly try and lower the calories down to try and shed some of the fat off before the cycle ends? Not sure if would even work properly or if thats a good strategy. If im not sure I might just wait till after my trip and then I can play around and see how my body reacts to it all and what type of gains I get.

    Any help is appreciated thanks

    First off, I would remove the picture of your face from the profile seeing that this is a steroid forum, no need for unwanted attention.

    I would go find a place that does bf measurements, just to get a general idea. Skin calipers will get you close enough.

    The bloat is something most blow out of proportion. It is what it is and you won't really know unless you run it, so make a decision run it now or later, your call.

    If you watch your sodium intake and you don't do too much gear you shouldn't get too bloated. Although I would suggest you to get another 10 lbs naturally before you start a cycle. But it all depends on your natural limits, you may have reached it, although I doubt it.

    -I removed my profile display pic, I thought it might be a little sketchy having my face there but Im not famous lol people can try and identify me all they want with my face. But I guess better safe then sorry.


    I'll have a really clean diet so my sodium intake will be fairly food I eat mostly fresh chicken breasts, oats, pastas, rice, tuna, whey protein etc.. nothing processed or with added sodium.

    I think I might wait till after my trip just because I dont want to have unnecessary surprises. Its hard to say for sure. I can definitely gain more weight but my weight right now 165 is after a cutting.

    I can get to 180`ish easy with gaining muscle but thats sacrificing bf%

    I think that is a good start but next cycle I would stack with deca. I am old school and have always stacked test deca and d-ball together you will see some great gains with these...

    For me the bloat hasn't been bad yet. More at night and I always look better in the morning.

    I too think people blow it out of proportion.

    You can control your water retention/bloat by dosing your AI properly. I have nearly zero water retention/bloat on my test cycle and no fat face. But if you don't want the hefty look and more of the cut look, I would skip the dbol and finish up the cycle with anavar or winny. You should be nice and cut up by the end and ready for your trip. I would also stay away from beer if you plan on drinking at all. You most definitely will get bloated from beer.
    Fear does not exist in any object or situation. It is constructed by you alone, a barrier to progress, imposed solely by your mind.

    Yep stay away from beer - too many empty calories will look like shit as they hang onto your body and interfere with the look you want. In addition, I've always found Proviron really effective at minimizing bloat/water retention.

    If you eat right and train right you should be able to get to 180 without putting on too much fat. I would try it before a cycle.

    When I was 170 I was 5% bf. Shredded. But i wanted to get to my max naturally so I bulked up to 192 naturally after returning to a normal diet I ended up at 188 at 7-8% bf. From that point on for a year my weight fluctuated between 183-188. Until I realized it was extremely hard to put on more weight even with high calories I would just get bloated. At that point is when I decided to start a cycle and I went up to 223 lbs in 12 weeks. I'm not much taller than you btw

    If you're afraid to bulk up naturally you might not be as successful with aas
