Thread: Stopping cycle early?

Don't half ass it, go for 12

HAHA JK. Listen to your body, bro. 30lbs is a SHITLOAD of weight for your heart to get used to in such a short time. I see nothing wrong with cutting your cycle short.

My question is, can/should I stop my cycle early? I have already gained 30 pounds in 7 weeks, and i know my blood pressure is through the roof. Im starting to feel like shit with all the extra weight that im carrying and I dont know if I want to gain much more on this cycle. I originally planned to run the test for 12 weeks but if I do I know ill put on another 10 pounds which will put me at 40 pounds total gained. 30 pounds is a lot of new weight for my body to handle and it has me feeling tired and slow all the time. I realize some of it is water but I stopped the dbol over 3 weeks ago so at least some of the water from that should be gone. What do you guys think? Should I go the full 12 weeks or just stop at 8 weeks or 10 weeks?

Are you running an AI, if so...at what dose? 30lbs in seven weeks is nearly impossible without major water weight gain.

How much AI are you using? 30lbs is a shitload of weight to gain in only 7 weeks (4 lbs a week O_o?). Seems like too much water retention is causing you some unnecessarily high bp.

Damn you're fast GMO -_-

AI dose has varied throughout the cycle. ranged from .25 EOD to .5 every day. Maybe a lot of it is water. But the amount of food I have been eating is more than i have ever eaten before. An average day of eating consists of -
8:00 - Weight gainer mixed with milk
9:00 - lift
10:30 - 40 gram protein shake mixed with dextrose
12:00 - 10 oz steak with 1 cup white rice
2:00 - 10 oz steak with large plate of spaghetti
4:00 - two 1/3 pound burgers on buns and 1 cup white rice
6:30 - 10 oz chicken breast and plate of spaghetti
8:30 - Weight gainer mixed with milk
10:00 - Either 1 pound of cottage cheese mixed with fruit or another 10 oz steak

Also I have been running GHRP-6 to increase appetite. Without it I would have never been able to put this much food down.

I havent really been counting calories or protein because I was continuing to gain each week. Also once I stopped the dbol I started trying to get down 1 gallon of milk a day as well.

Are you lean and dry with good definition, or bloated a bit? 0.5 ED of a-dex should keep you pretty dry, if you are just runiing test. Could be sodium related as well. Have you been doing any cardio?

Imo you might be better off cutting back your cals and/or dosage. Throw in some light cardio a few times a week. You obviously don't need to gain anymore but I think it might be worth it to spend a few weeks holding on to that mass and letting your body get used to it. Maybe broscience but I think that'll make it a bit easier to keep it through pct? If you stop immediately after gaining a certain amount of weight I think you're more likely to lose some of it.

Cardio is light usually 2 times a week. 25 minute sessions.

That is a lot of sugars (milk) and other carbs. Have you thought about maybe cutting them down?

I agree too. you need to solidify those gains.

A couple of things:

1. Clean up your diet, sweet potatoes, oats and brown rice ONLY and dextrose PWO.
2. Incorporate some healthy fats. Fish oil, ANPB, EVOO.
3. Increase cardio. HIIT at 30mins 3 times a week
4. Reduce sodium intake, the cottage cheese is loaded with it.
5. Stop using that weight gained BS, make your own.

Weight gainer shake: 2 scoops protein powder (preferably a mix of whey and casein), 1 cup of old fashioned oats, 2 TBSP. ANPB.

TOTAL CALORIES: 750, 16g Fat, 55g Carbs, 50g protein. With ZERO SUGARS OR FILLERS.

I would clean up the diet BIG TIME, that will eliminate a lot of the BP issues. Your cardio needs to be improved as well.

Try this for a couple of weeks and see what happens, if you're still having issues then bail, but remember you're going to lose some during PCT.

Maybe try some hawthorne berry? I've never taken a cycle without it so I'm not sure how I am if I don't take it. But my BP hasn't gotten too high.

Careful with HIIT if your BP is sky high. Ease into it or else you might find yourself feelin like death.
