Crystal DNP and water bloat

[Anonymous12]

Hey guys I have a random question about your anecdotal experience with crystal DNP and water retention. I just finished a 16 day DNP run. I have run many times pre contest with great success. It’s been two years since I’ve done a run and I’m kind of baffled. I eat moderate carbs and at about 500cals under maintenance. My starting weight was 215 at around 15%. By day two my weight increased to 220. Day 8 my weight dropped down to 208. I was flat and clearly bloated losing all ab visibility. At this point I added 50mcg T3. I had all the sides elevated temp, sweating buckets, struggling through workouts, even took time off of work. I noticed definite changes while on it and visible fat loss despite being as bloated as I was. My run looked like-

Day 1/2-200mg
Day 3/4-400mg
Day 5-16 600mg

I have now been off of it for 5 days and I look worse now than I did before. My abs aren’t visible still and my weight went back up to 215..... I never overate, I ran 50mcg of T3, and 400mg test C. My estrogen is well controlled. I never remember being bloated and looking flat and shitty for so long. Has anyone else experienced this? I always remember looking better 3-4 days post cycle. Not looking for lectures about running this stuff, just looking for insight. Thanks

When did you start the test and t3 and are you still taking them?

Best guess with the information presented here is that you are A) retaining water from test B) flat from taking T3 C) still flat and retaining water from the initial DNP cycle. So, you have a recipe for flat and bloated. Best guess.

Sounds like u had something else going on not the drug. Maybe a virus a infection a parisite Do a cleanse. Clean yoursef out with a colon cleanse. Drink a quart of prune juice. And fast.

bloat from DNP can take a bit to subside. Ensure you are eating clean and drinking lots of water. I would imagine that if it doesn't bounce back by 2 weeks, something is going on with your estrogen.

Still taking cyp 400, I have for 6-7 weeks now. last bloods were two weeks ago and E2 was normal. Maybe I’ll drop down to a cruise dose. I last used T3 a few days ago. I stopped right after the DNP ended

I think you probably just have some water left over and haven't filled back out yet. I think things should stabilize in a few more days to a week. I've found that some guys can take up to two weeks for everything to even out.. 5 days post cycle is still a bit early, that's when I personally would start to see things stabilize.

Everything you did on your cycle looks good but I would have definitely skipped the T3. Everything you did, aside from the T3, is very close to how I would do a cycle.

Remember a few years back, when I did my DNP experiments. I think I ran it twice plus I had 2 clients doing it so I wanted to see how it works for myself.

I know we ran ECA, T3, and Clen at different stages (can't remember why Clen as I prefer Albuterol but that's what we did, I logged it here too I'm sure, plus I was on Primo and GH as I'm usually on that lol) it worked well. I'd have to dig up my notes from it as I only did this experiment once or twice max so my old memory is failing me at the moment.
