[QUOTE="madman, post: 67177, member: 13851"] If ones estrogen becomes too elevated it can cause water retention which will be an excess of extra cellular water being held between the muscle/skin causing puffiness/bloat but in your case you just started therapy and are lifting weights so more than likely it is your muscle cells storing more glycogen which will increase intracellular water stored in the muscle cell as testosterone will increase the storage of muscle glycogen which is a good thing as increased glycogen storage in the muscle will make them harder/stronger/better pumps and you will have more energy to train intensely. I am 12 weeks into my trt and have gained 16 pounds so far and am bigger/leaner/stronger than pre trt. I also lift heavy and was already eating 500 grams carbs daily pre trt! [/QUOTE]
