Hi all,
I am currently into week 5 of my 2nd cycle of 10-week 500mg Testosterone Enanthate cycle. It's a duplicate of my first cycle. I have Clomid for PCT which I used last time. However, this time round I seem to have gained a fair bit more mass (over 7 kilos already) more quickly than before. However, a large part is water retention, (e.g. face is a bit puffy and my ankles are swollen loads). Last time I did have flu around week 3-4, however, I don't recall as much water retention. I think it is also causing my knees to ache quite a lot (although that is possibly just from the additional weight) and my flexibility has reduced. From what I have read, most people run Arimidex during the cycle and Clomid after, however, I wanted to keep these additional drugs to a minimum as I think these need just as much consideration taking as the steroids in my opinion. Currently I just have Clomid to hand as didn't use the Arimidex before.
I was wondering if you guys thought running some Clomid would be worthwhile reducing water retention seeing as you only really read about using this for PCT? (I obtained my stuff from Thailand when out there, so not so easy to stock up on Arimidex)
Additionally: I'm 6ft, and 108kg. Eating around 4,500 calories a day (roughly 40% protein [300g], 30% carbs, 30% fat) which I increased to over the period of about a week or two with a target of bulking up, and probably cutting for last few weeks of the cycle (TBC). Salt is also low. I am drinking around 3-4 litres a day. Planning on getting my blood pressure measured (normally around 120/80).
Many thanks.
