Neck Size on cycle

I am week 10 of my bulking cycle 500 test E/400 Deca/50mg dbol to kick start for weeks 1-4.

I keep my use completely private. The only people who know are my very close friends and my g/f if I have one at the time. The biggest problem is that my neck has got extremely thick. You know Kurt Angles neck and how it is freaky big... my neck is starting to look like that and this has never happened before on the same cycle and I have no idea why this is happening now. Make no mistake this is not my traps increasing is size, this is the my neck just getting super thick. I am actually quite dry too. So my family and friends and pretty much like WTF. Even my Mom who is completely out to lunch noticed and if she notices ANYTHING then it must be damn bad.

I am not at all ashamed of the fact I use, I am just to lazy to attempt to educate all the retards out there who are quick to judge.
 
Yeah that was my guess but as I mentioned I am quite dry and vascular on this cycle. Who knows but I am a little distraught atm about it.
 
There are more androgen receptors in the upper body than the lower and I think there must be a lot in the neck because I get the same thing..whether it's a wet or dry cycle.

Think of bucks in the fall during the rut..their test levels shoot up and their necks get 2x as big...I think it's not to dissimilar for many mammals.
 
After my first Test cycle, I developed a piece of luggage under my chin that hasn't gone away even three months down the road. I know it's not water retention, that would have disappeared long ago. It seems more like fat or loose skin although my body fat is very low, <10%. It's frustrating that it won't go away. Guess my only choice is liposuction, bleh.

i hear that....exact same here
 
As was said, androgen receptors there, and if you've been doing lots of deadlifts, that will make the yoke bigger. ANd I disagree that this only happens while "on". If you gain the muscle, other boodyparts will also have to adapt to support it... the only way you're gonna get rid of the monster neck is if you lose the weight that you just recently gained... It will become more noticeable while on, yes, but it doesn't magically go away when you come off.

I don't know what your problem is really... you made the decision to use AAS, and the reason you're using them is to accelerate gains, so of course the gains are going to be more noticeable. Neck girth is from muscle accrual. I have yet to find a dress shirt to fit my 23" neck. I've had to get my shirts, suits, etc., all custom made for the past 4-5 years, it comes with the game bud.

My problem is I have done the exact same cycle before many times and my neck size has not enlarged to near the extent it has recently, thus causing me to be like "wtf"? It isn't to the point where it's unattractive... but I aint digging it to be honest.

I understand, but I'm assuming that since you're cycling you're probably bigger than you were before, correct? Have you been at this size before and not experienced the same look?

Too be honest, my girlfriends tell me they like my thick upper body and traps/neck... so whatever makes them happy, right? LOL

btw, I didn't mean to come off as a douche if it seems that way in my earlier post, I reread it and it came out weird. :)

But in the meantime, you can switch up your routine and try to spare the exc. that target your upper back, traps, and neck... cut-out HEAVY deads, shrugs, BB rows, and seated BB shoulder presses...
 
The thing under the neck could just be loose skin. I mean our faces tend to bloat when bulking and especially when on a wet cycle. I know the skin under there gets all stretched out becuase of the way we move our necks and heads. Could be the reason. just throwing it out there.

LOL, yeah I'll just cut out back all together haha. Obviously, as you mentioned the neck must compensate for increased lifts and grow so I'm not going to try to stop that by changing my routine. The fact is anyone who is large has a large neck.

I'm the biggest I've ever been atm. 6'4 260... my BF is up there at around 17-18%. I am done the cycle in 1 week but the test/deca won't clear out until 2-3 weeks after my last shot. I will be very happy if I can maintain at around 250lbs once the cycle is a couple months done with. Once I solidify the gains to my best ability, i'll cut down to 10% BF which should take me down to 215-220. Whether I do that naturally or not is yet to be decided. My maintenance cals are insane, my food bill is killing me so cutting down is something I look forward to.

But yeah, since I am the heaviest I have ever been my neck is just compensating for that I guess. As for the ladies, yeah I guess they like it lol.

this is off topic but since you seem to have experience, when you are on test... maybe 750/week does your libido go through the roof. I know everyone gets increased drive... but my drive this cycle was to the point where I was loaded and ready to go 5 min after sex. The sex lasted all of 2 min if i was lucky round 1. It was actually a pain in the ass.

Nice stats, you a biggun'! :D

I also have to eat a **** ton of cals to maintane...around 5700-6000 cals/day, sometimes more if I'm more active with work some weeks. I considered dropping some weight off to help save cash spent on food/protein powder, but I'm too vane. :D Prolly gonna end up puting myself into the poorhouse soon, lol.

About the test libido, yes, I notice a HUGE difference in libido when jumping from 4-500mg to 750mg/week. 4-500 I have no problems dealing with it, but w/ 750 it seriously becomes a problem. I feel like I'm in the 6th-7th grade going thru puberty again X 100!!!

Yeah I have to agree w/ the loose skin.

When i was younger i was put on HIGH and I mean HIGH doses of corticosteroids ...which caused the "moon face" symptom common with some anabolic and catabolic steroids.

After the moon set (went away) lol, I was left with extra skin on my chin. Weird thing is I can also pinch loose skin on my cheeks.....

Anyway, the ONLY way I think you going to get it removed is with plastic surgery. Lucky Im still young and the skin has a little more flexibility than those "older" folks round here :trout: but, yeah.... plastic surgery to remove the loose skin.

Think of it like those who are overweight and then loose the LBS, they have lots of loose skin that needs to be taken off...

Hope that helps.

23" neck. Christ. I feel your pain (21" neck) though. I just walk into Men's Wearhouse to the far end of the shirts and look for colors in the last box on the bottom(they stop at 20") I'm glad I don't have to wear ties anymore, because that last button would cause me to pass out.

So how did this cycle go for you? I saw your post about weight gains slowing/stopping a few weeks back. Did that change?

The cycle went well in the end. The gains did come to a halt for about 3 weeks mid cycle then picked back up pretty rapidly fortunately. I Still don't know why I made no gains for 3 weeks... I was meeting my calories and everything seemed good. Anyway total gains going into week 12 are roughly 30 lbs. I was unable to workout for about a month before the cycle due to being sick/injured so I lost gains there other wise I don't know if I would have put on 30lbs. When I run a cycle I hope to keep gains up to week 9 if I am on a 12 week cycle. I weighed 252 week 9. Hopefully I can keep that.

I even tried buying one of those things that has a button one one ned and a loop on the other so it will lengthen the first buttons circumference around the neck but it still wasn't long enough. I'd have to get like 2 or three of 'em and link them all together and look like an idiot, lol.

If I have ot wear a non-custom-fit dress shirt now, I leave the first button undone and then just pull my tie up super-high so it kind of hides it. Still looks dumb, but less. :)
