so i thought i would update this
since i hit 194 lbs 4 weeks in my weight gain has completely slowed down... im close to the same weight as 3 weeks ago right now. sometimes a pound of maybe two up depending on the day but no consistent weight gain anymore...
im still eating the same amount of calories (3500 gym days /3000 cardio days), but increased workout volume a bit over time... deloaded last week and started anew with lower volume but higher intensity a couple days ago.
so as it was clear right from the start, the initial heavy weight gain was all water/glycogen (kind of funny that a good stack can put on close to 20lbs of "good" water onto your frame)..
i might have even been in a slight caloric deficit for the whole time, but the combination of drugs made me very full very quickly...
im still a bit hesitant to raise calories right now to facilitate further weight gain because
right now i can actually eat whatever the fuck i want every single day, (which is COMPLETELY new to me), i also never feel hungry (it even gets hard to shove down that much food here and there) and i really enjoy eating out and cooking on the regular with my GF without having to watch calories at all... workouts are also good, im feeling energized and happy.
still havent taken a single real rest day since january 1st.
light cardio doesnt cut into my regeneration at all, which i would not have expected.
right now im pretty happy because this is actually the first time ever in my life that i can eat by appetite without getting fat as fuckfeels like a million bucks lol, in the past i always had to watch diet meticulously to not put on excess fat.
i also havent bloated up at all even though im a good 6 weeks into my bulk right now and normally i would start to become a bloated mess at this point... conditioning is still good and im still full. i do notice fluctuations EXTREMELY quickly though if i undereat a few hundred calories for 2-3 days... instantly lose some fullness. it always comes back when i get back on track and catch up the missing calories though.
i guess the combination of AAS+MK+slin+t3 is really hitting it hard from every possible angle and doing an extremely good job in keeping any potential fat off even on high calories.
since my weight gain kind of has stalled for 3 weeks though there are only 2 options though:-either ill be trying to stay full but at roughly the same scale weight and try to slowly gain pure lean muscle tissue over the next couple weeks
-or ill raise calories a bit, accept some loss of conditioning and bloat and go for a bit higher scale weight
i will go with option 1 for the next month or so, then see where i stand. if i havent hit 200lbs by then i will bump up calories a bit.
right now im enjoying everything just the way it is. never change a running system i guess, even though its running a bit slower than throughout january
