Weight trend from week 1 of cycle
Just wanted to get some feedback on my current bulk progress.
I started my cycle on 3/23 (Testosterone 500mg/week) and have been pushing calories up. Currently sitting at 3447 calories with a goal of gaining about 1 lb per week.
Overall trend so far:
- Averaging about ~1.1–1.2 lbs/week gain
- Strength has been improving
- No major issues with recovery or energy
Last 2 weeks specifically:
- Scale has been a bit flatter day-to-day
- Net gain is about +1 lb over 2 weeks
- You can see some fluctuations (had a spike to 243.8 that dropped back down)
From a trend perspective it still looks like I’m moving up, just slower than earlier weeks.
Main question:
Would you increase calories at this point, or give it another week to confirm whether it’s actually a stall?
Trying to stay disciplined and not overcorrect too early, but also don’t want to spin my wheels.
Appreciate any feedback.
