Dips vs DB press: which actually builds a bigger bench?

Some swear by it, others call it snake oil. I think it depends on your injury and how well you dose it.

Honestly, I noticed faster healing from strains, but not much for actual chronic arthritis-type pain.

Totally normal. Water retention goes up fast, especially first 2–3 weeks depending on compound. Don’t panic over the scale.

Bro I’ll wake up 4 lbs heavier overnight just from sodium + estrogen bloat. Then drop it by Sunday. Wild stuff.

Depends what you’re running. Test + Deca = water balloon. Masteron = dryer look, steadier weight.

Cycle weight isn’t all muscle or fat glycogen, water, and food volume play huge roles. Focus on mirror + lifts instead.

I fluctuate 5–7 lbs weekly on cycle. Comes with the territory when hormones and appetite are bouncing around.

If it’s crazy swings (like 10+ lbs in days), check your sodium, AI dose, and hydration. Could be estrogen or cortisol spike.

Most people forget glycogen stores pull a ton of water
fuller muscles = heavier scale. It’s a good sign usually.

Don’t stress the numbers mid-cycle. Track trend lines, strength, and photos. Scale weight lies hard when gear’s involved.

Trying to stay on 150mg/wk anyone hold size well?

Feels like recovery faster but wanna confirm it’s not just placebo.

Anyone running both long-term? What’s recovery and muscle quality like
