Femara and bloat

[blink]

TweetHey all! New member, first post! Stats/cycle to follow. My question is, I thought that , given the cycle below, Femara would keep me dry as a bone, but, I'm still feeling fairly bloated. I'm about to wrap up my second week on, and I've gained about 10 lbs.

Can you all give me some feedback on this? Perhaps, my expectations were unrealistic, to begin with.

Oh yeah, progress so far? Other than the weight gain, my strength is through the frigging roof! Seriously! I'm up 10% on all chest exercises, more on back, and even more on legs! It's sick!

The only sides I'm experiencing is difficulty in sleeping (yes, I'm taking all gear in the AM!), and loss of appetite (sucks). Other than that, and the expected rise in BP (borderline normal/mild hypertensive levels)

GEAR:

Weeks 1,2,3,11,12 Prop 100mg EOD
Weeks 1-12 Tren 75mg EOD
Weeks 1-10 Cyp 500mg / week
Weeks 1-10 EQ 600mg / week
Weeks 1-4 Dbol ("blue hearts") 50mg ED
2 weeks on/2 weeks off Clen (I've ramped up to 160mcg and holding steady) for a total of 6 weeks on
ECA while off Clen
Weeks 7-12 T3 as follows:

in mcg's:

wk7: 25 50 75 100 125 125 125
wk8: 125 x 7 days

wk11: 75 x 4 days, 50 x 3 days
wk12: 50 x 2 days, 25 x 3 days, 12.5 x 2 days

Goals and expectations: lose 3-5% BF, harden up, perhaps gain a little muscle, get stronger

lifting regimen: heavy weight, lower reps (4-6) compound movements, each muscle group @ 1x per week

DIET:

SUPPLEMENTATION/ANCILLARY

Glutamine - 20 grams daily
r-ALA - 400mg daily
NAC - 600mg daily
Taurine - 1g daily
Femara 1.25mg daily

NOTES:

- This includes protein shakes, 2 per day, one post-workout, taken with dextrose, and one before bed.
- It doesn't include veggies, I eat a good amount of green veggies and (limited amount) carrots.
- carbs are primarily from grape nuts and skim milk
- proteins are from chicken breast, tuna, and 8 oz lean red meat.
- As I started this cycle, I was coming off of a CKD - it's feasable that my body was ripe for accelerated fat storage, due to this
