Water retention 6 months post cycle

[Island lifts]

I started my first cycle (500mg test e pw 18 weeks) a couple years ago estrogen levels were good taking 1mg adex pw, cruising at 150mg pw post cycle, did a couple cycles after that, then I decided to do a tren cycle with 300mg/350mg test/tren ace, planned to run for 10 weeks, I was lean and getting leaner but by week 5 I started getting terrible acne and water retention, mainly in my face, I stopped the cycle at week 6, lowered test back to 150, 6 months later my face has only gotten worse and more bloated, yet I’m basically the same body fat %, I’ve tried dandelion root, keto diet, low carb, increased ai, more potassium/less sodium nothings really worked. I know that getting some water retention is normal when on aas but I used to have such a lean face, even on my first 3 cycles now I look like a fat chipmunk, I have a very visible six pack but if you just saw my face you’d think I was 30% bf. just ordered some telmisartan, saw it could be useful for water retention. Any suggestions?

I have yet to jump on the Tren train, but I am aware that prolactin is a big issue to keep an eye on. Having Caber on hand is usually recommended.

If this is your first cycle with Tren, I would suggest blood work ASAP to see how it is affecting you compared to compounds you've run in the past.

I'm sure there are plenty of threads on the forum that'll be beneficial, and there are an abundance of members here who will have more comprehensive advice than I can give.

Hope you get it figured out.

Diet diet diet. You need to fast. Coming from experience. It solved this issue. I fasted 100% for 3 days, then I did 2 meals (small) for 2 weeks. Then is was 2-3 meals for about a month after but I did a bunch of cardio. Sprinting , jogging, etcetc. I did also supplement with l-carnitine. And I was NATTY after coming off and did PCT.

Solution: fast, start with modifications to your diet. If u want to stay on exogenous test, lower it and focus on diet and cardio. Results will be 2 months ez.

Srs you don't need telmisartan, semaglutide or l-carnitine. Fuck these products. Just money grabs imo.

You only need to fast, focus on diet and cardio, maybe even lower test from 150 weekly to 135mg-60mg weekly.

Water retention will start look the contrary. And if you do legit fasting and eat lean (organic, friendly digestible food), you will see cheek bones eventually.
