How much does your Basal Met rate raise on cycle?.

[Dn83]

I am on TRT 200 mg per week. I decided to do a cycle on my mass phase of:

500 mg test cyp
50 mg proviron
40 mg t bol

Off cycle I can mass with 3400 cal. On cycle I eat anywhere from 4-5,000 and find it hard to see a pound in a week. 36yrs 5’10 183 lbs 8.5% bf.

Depends from a person to another. My caloric maintenance is around 2900-3000 but I won’t gain any weight until I eat 4200+ but I’m 215 lbs. Obviously you’re going to need to eat more on gear but I hardly hardly doubt you’re not gaining on 5000 calories a day at 183 lbs. I don’t say this in a mean way but a lot of people eat less than they think. I had a guy come at me at work for the same problem as you, I calculed his macros and what he though was 4500 calories was actually 3400. If that’s not your case well you’re one of the unlucky 5%ers that just don’t gain much mass at all.
