4,5 weeks into test e - is this it?

[mvg]

currently 4,5 weeks into a 500mg/wk test enanthate cycle, pinning twice a week in quads with 23g 1" blue.

so far the only change is increased weight, small strength gains and some mass but ive been taking an oral for the first 4 weeks aswell.

Absolutely no libido change, no increased woods, no alpha feeling nor any major strength boosts or what not..

so the question is, should i wait longer or is my gear bunk? ive read countless of thread and people swear by 2 to 4 weeks where you should DEFINETLY feel it.. i just dont?

supplier is legit, vials look good, no known fakes of this brand.. any possibility that im not pinning correctly which leads to the test not being taken in correctly?

what kind of oral are you taking and what dose? Are you taking in enough food,calories? and it usually takes 5-6 weeks for the test to kick in and what are your stats?

 

[UserAt204]

What brand? Give it another week or two. It's a long ester and takes time to build

 

[mvg]

id rather not discuss the brand (not sure if im allowed to due to forum rules) but as much as i can google it everyone on forums speak well about it.

ive been running turanabol at 80mg and im not impressed with it!

i started at 188lbs 5'10" 12% and currently on 210ish, same bf%, eating 4000+ clean.

you might try cutting the test e with some b-12 next time it always seems like it helps it get into my system faster. idk if it actually does or not givin the long ester but it sure seems like it does.im just surprised you havent felt that "alpha" feeling yet. keep us updated

 

[lexluther]

what sucks is i was planning on trying t-bol this year i sure hope it doesnt let me down. i just got it to cut down on the water retention. d-bol is my old reliable i guess well see how it stacks up

you started the cycle at 188 and now you're 210? 22 pounds is a hell of a lot of weight to gain in ~5 weeks considering you used a low-bloat oral. Sounds to me like everything is on track, not everyone reacts the same to steroids, but if you're gaining that much weight then no doubt its working just fine.

give it a couple more weeks, even though i start seeing gains in the first couple of weeks i don't start to feel my best until about 8 weeks typically, its like it kicks in earlier but the effects still build up over time





also, you can discuss which lab made the gear, just not where or how you got it

 

[HumbleMuscle]

I recently did a bottle of Golden Pharmacy Test E and I was feeling it two weeks in so I'm not sure why your not feeling any different but it definitely sounds like your gaining good weight. Can you put some pics of the gear up or atleast tell us what kind it is

 

[cjz0220]

5 weeks and 22 pounds an u think its not working????? Dude most guys dont get 22 pounds the entire cycle lol. Im sure its fine got to remember that you are not your friends, me, or anyone else your body will react different. Sometimes I get real horny on cycle sometimes I dont and I use great gear and pin the same everytime. Seems gtg so far make sure your getting the right amount of foods and calories tht makes a HUGE difference. Strength should be a bit higher but only you can tell if your pushing yourself harder to make the gains good luck

 

[mike420]

my friend gained 10 pounds in exactly 3 weeks with test400 denkall my armed swelled up and hurt for 8 days my boys fine after 3 everyone reacts differently

 

[Session25]

i just finished week 6 out of my 12 week Test E cycle and have had the same experience you seem to be having. I have gained 16lbs so far and have made strength gains but i have not felt (mentally/emotionally) different. I actually find myself tired throughout the day. I do feel good in the gym though, great pumps, but outside the gym i feel normal

 

[Logical]

are you running an AI? if your estrogen is too high or too low that can make you feel like shit, or just put a damper on how you would normally feel on cycle

 

[THE-DET-OAK]

aromasin would help increase TT and FT.

honestly @ 500mg i feel the same way, i get the gains but dont feel like an animal. @ 750 the mental aspect is strong.

how old are you? also 22lbs in 4.5 weeks is pretty good. alot of that is water but even if half was water thats good for only 4.5 weeks. whats the brand? its ok to discuss brands just not sources.

 

[DADAWG]

your expectations are VERY unrealistic.

 

[Matthew121]

Yea I guess the question is what exactly are you expecting to have gained at this point?

 

[a68rebel]

I always feel completely normal on cycle...except for strength and muscle gain.

 

[JWS77]

lol not working with 22lbs in 5wks.

thanks for all the replies!! to anwer some questions:

- i do not run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) (have mesterolone but havent started yet)
- i am 24
- there was some waterweight but its declining now after lowering carbs some
- i thought 22lbs was doable with diet and tbol alone but you guys seem to think the test had a part in this?

about my expectations, i was just hoping for more libido boost as mine is low already and was really hoping for more strength gains. tbol and test should both give it and they're not really doing it i guess.. i am happy with the mass gains i've made but like i said i was hoping for more strength and i guess a bit of hyped feeling. i look at moderate good looking women and still think hell no! just so you guys know i am not expecting to gain 40lbs lean and start powerlifting but these strength gains ive made couldve been made in a normal bulk cycle aswell given some time.

about estrogen, the lab messed up the test was unable to give a good reading on estro and prolactin so i have no values of theem, the rest was perfect..

i will be getting estro and prolactin + the normal bloodwork soon (1-2 weeks) so i get a good midcycle reading, ofcourse afterwards ill take another one to see if everything has recovered correctly

500 test e and im feelin it after 2 weeks, and the libido is through the roof!!!, even small land mammals get a second look (just kiddin!)
try going to 750 if you got no sides but from the stats i would say its working fine.
