I agree completely with your statement. There is definetly some water weight. I weigh myself buck naked, 1st thing in the morning after morning piss and duece. When I weigh in in the evening, I'm 8-10 lbs heavier than the previously listed weight. No doubt this is from water/food.
There is also some serious increase in lean mass. I am visibly bigger everywhere and a shit ton more vascular. Everybody has noticed and I get comments daily. Keep in mind that I am doing everything in my power to take full advantage of my first cycle. I'm eating a ton of quality (and as such very boring) food, drinking plenty of water, Training like an animal, deep tissue massage twice monthly and prioritizing sleep/recovery. I am taking this very seriously and understand full well that diet/training is where the lions share of results will come from. Having said that, do you have a source for the magic pill that will do all this for me while I sit on the couch?
