Hey guys, just looking for some help here. I been eating in a surplus and been gaining steady weight. Gaining around the same as my previous cycles. How much weight should I be expecting to gain a week from 1g test only cycle, considering 1g is a lot higher then 500-600. Trying to adjust calories to get ready for when I bump up my dosage. I want to just eat everything in sight but I’m not tryna gain a lot of fat this time round.

While the short story is it really depends on many many factors - mostly caloric intake (i.e. how much of a surplus, & coinciding possible increases in metabolism if calories aren't increased with gear & possible recomp effect) then the non-tissue weight changes, like glycogen, how much water you are holding, blood volume etc, I am curious to see what other peoples responses are!
 
Sooo many variables that no one can answer your question. Weight fluctuates alot too, so even you may have a hard time answering the question when all is said and done.

I can offer some encouragement though, whenever I feel like I'm lagging or stalling I just push through and end up gaining size. If you're eating, and lifting them you're good, just keep at it

Thanks man yea I’m defs eating and training well. Mabey I just have to wait and see. I think mabey I had too high expectations lol iv definitely gained weight and look hella fuller since starting. But I just don’t want to waste this cycle if there are gains being left on the table
 
If you already weigh 285 pounds, you may not see any weight gain. If you weigh 128 pounds and are 6'2", you may be putting on several pounds a week.

If you are gaining now on 500-600 (which is it?), then I would not bother upping the dose. Just keep doing what you are doing so long as it is working.

Do you have a serious, planned diet, with a certain number of meals and protein, fats, and carbs planned out for the day? If you do not want to gain a bunch of fat, then control the diet. Eat cleanly. Add carbs as needed, but use clean sources, maybe easily digestible like Jasmin rice. There are 43 grams of carbohydrates in one cup cooked (although you can use the uncooked measure, that is tougher to do if you keep a bunch of it prepared).

43 x 4 = 172 calories.

So if you are already at 400 grams of carbohydrates throughout the day, adding another two cups of rice is another 86 grams and 344 calories, total is now 486 grams of carbohydrates and 1944 calories just from carbohydrates). It does not have to be all at once, either. If you are eating 6 meals, and you divide that extra rice up over four of them, that is only a half cup of rice per meal, which is not much extra volume at all to have to eat.

Try not to push your fats high. It is difficult when trying to gain weight, but you will be better off in several ways. Many report digestive problems when fats get too high.

I track my calories with my fitness pal so my diet is well tracked. And what I meant by 500-600 test is that my first cycle was 500 and my second cycle was 600 test. So 500-600 I gain abit
