12 week test e cycle over, 22lbs weight gain, question?

[Skinny_one]

Just finished my first test e only cycle, went from 180-202lbs over 12 weeks.

The question I have is I'm not sure whether the test was fake / underdosed?

Over the 12 weeks i felt exactly the same, no change in libido, no oily skin or acne out of the ordinary, recovery speed unchanged, no feeling of well being etc..

Strength went up a bit and people were always commenting how on how big I was getting but I don't know if thats due to me eating like a horse (clean whole foods) around 5000cal a day, I did also put on a bit of fat.

I understand it's hard to say without getting bloods done, but if the test was real wouldn't I have at least felt something? Could this weight gain be attributed to my diet alone?

That can't be answered for a certainty, which is what bloods are for. Too many people go by how they "feel" and start labeling stuff bunk. A lot of them have bad gains though, but by the same token that can be their fault in terms of training and diet. Either way I can see a little where they come from, as they didn't have any gains. In your case you actually had a decent cycle in terms of weight gain, and you're ready to reason it away.

Have your bloods done next time. For the record I doubt you gained all the weight off of your diet, but that still doesn't mean your test wasn't under dosed. Bloods, bloods, bloods. People can react different.

Before/After pictures would really help to get an idea of how much of that 22lbs was fat/muscle.

Also, allot of people like to think they are eating 4,500-5,000 calories a day until they actually count their calories and find they are closer to 3,000-3,500. Mind posting what your diet looked like throughout your cycle?

How long ago did you finish the cycle? If it was recent I would jump on getting those bloods done to find out for sure bro, p r i v a t e m d l a b s . com and google a coupon you can get em done for around $50 and its private, as in no insurance, etc.

dude you gained 22lbs regardless, you wanna find the answer to the question? do it again.

22lbs is good for a 12 week cycle bro. It would be hard to gain 22lbs without test in 12 weeks unless it was 15lbs on fat or so
