I can't believe I actually put on some weight! I've been stuck for a long time, but one week on 1-AD I have put on 5 pounds! And I really haven't eaten more than normal, lol maybe even a little less, but this is awesome. Even though I haven't gotten significantly stronger, but I am happy and excited after just one week.

P.S.
I guess I gotta first see if I keep gains after the 6 weeks. Goal is 225 - 230 for this cycle, I'll fight for the last 5 pounds.

If you aren't eating more how are you going to expect to keep that weight when you are eating enough to maintain less weight?

Water retention is nice, for awhile, when it goes it goes.

Damn, I forgot about water retention...but my muscles look more riped then before, so it must not be water weight right?

Muscles are 70% water, and increased anabolism will certainly help you out, but to maintain that new weight you are going to need some kind of caloric boost (wont be much needed).

Estimates say that every pound of muscle requires 50 calories per day to maintain, I used to doubt this number but with many of the very large guys eating 7k for maintenance it is possible perhaps that this is accurate for most people.
