    Angry Will strength increase even if body weight isn't?

    I am in my 7th week of an enan@500mg/week cycle and my weight gain has stopped and I am trying to cram more food in but it hasn't picked back up yet.

    I figured my strength should be improving but I have been stuck with the same weights for about 3 weeks now. Even when I was clean, I was gaining more strength. And I was barely gaining weight. What is the deal? After I got off the dbol, everything stopped.

    I am upping my calories again and am thinking about some eq to help with appetite even more.

    What is going on?

    how legit is your gear? always gotta question that. 7 weeks you should be seeing something, although I would up the test dose personally. bump that up to 800 and see what you get. Up the intensity and eat more. don't know what else I could say without knowing specifics

    Your body does not "get used to the dose" unless a huge portion of it is converting to estrogen then I could not answer why strength is not increasing. Bodyweight comes from diet, if you can't eat now imagine trying to eat when you are 250+.

    How would you be able to tell if its converting to estrogen?

    Mudge, that is why 250+ bodyweight is not for me. I think I will be content to stay around 220 if I get there.

    It is Southern Labs 250.

    So I should still be seeing some strength gains right?

    As a rule about 85% of your bodies estrogen comes from aromatase action, so some is always going to convert to estrogen. However it does vary from person to person, if you are holding a lot of water that is probably a lot of aromitization going on.

    I run anti aromatase through my cycles in moderate doses.

    I guess I really don't get the whole not eating enough thing. I have no problem eating enough food and i'm 255lbs right now. I guess everyones body reacts differently to food. I have never had a really metabolism. Some guys can eat and eat and not gain a pound. Poor guys.

    Hey Mudge could Michael be better off running something like arimidex? Would that cut down on the conversion to estrogen so that he sees more of the benifits of the test and maybe actually start gaining more again?

    Yes, it will cost some money but it will help keep the test available to the body.

    Southern is getting rave reviews so I would go with what Mudge suggested.

    Good info. And the EQ would be a waste at this point.

    Hey michael I don't know if you have any arimidex, or can get it in a short period of time but that might be your ticket. If you can't get it soon enough then I would keep it in mind for your next cycle. I got some and its not cheap, but from all I have read its very helpful. I'm sure it would be worth the extra loot. Now all I need is my test to arrive so I can get the party started

    What happens to all this estrogen anyway? I don't seem to be retaining any water and have no gyno symptoms. I thought I was earlier but stopped the Nolva with no changes.

    So the eq wouldn't help even if I could squeeze 4 weeks out of it?

    What is a normal dose of Arimidex per day?

    Hey Michael everything I read is that EQ is not a big time mass drug. It supposedly increases your hunger, and strength. Being a long ester its probably best ran a minimum of 8 weeks.

    I am going to start out my arimidex at .5mg EOD. You can run it ED but I am not going to do that unless its really needed. Start out low and go higher if needed. I really don't want to go higher then .5mg ED.
