5 weeks in first cycle. Couple questions.

[VengeanceX7]

So I am 5 weeks into my first cycle of 600mg a week of test e for 14 weeks. Started adex at .25mg rod at week 2 and had some leathargy and ed so I upped it to .5mg rod and since then everything has been good. So I am 5 weeks in and I haven't felt the "kick in" that everyone talks about. I got my gear from another forums sponsor so I'm pretty sure its legit Plus libido is up, shoulder and back acne and oily skin. Oh and im up to 240 from 220 but i have not got that kick in feeling everyone talks about. I feel the same. Could it just take longer for me? I appreciate all answers and if you answer keep an eye on this thread i will probably ask more questions.

That's why I stayed away from long ester...I didn't want that waiting period so I went with prop

Some guys don't 'feel it' til around the 6 week mark

But with you feeling the increased libido, increased weight, sides of test, you may just not get that 'feeling' you were expecting.

I didn't necessarily feel it 'kick in' but my strength and gains def went up. Maybe since it's a long ester you are running, you actually do feel different from day one, and just don't 'notice' because it's gradually been creepin' on ya for the last 5 weeks.

It may be somewhat of a downer to hear that because the feeling may be below your expectations, but it sure sounds to me like it's kicked in for you.

Throw in some Dbol....you'll def feel that and maybe jumpstart that feeling you are waiting for!

I personally never felt a "kick", I'm on week 9. But my strength is up a good amount, and I feel like I can move more weight every week. Weight is up with some fat gains, but with the amount I'm eating, I'm still more lean than I would have been off cycle. I know my body pretty well.

I'd say not to worry about it since you're gaining strength/mass. Also get a blood test and make sure your hormones levels are good.

You aren't gonna feel anything then bro. If you're up 20 lbs with all the other stuff it's working, be happy with that. A lot of the time the "kick" people are talking about is no more than a placebo effect that's mostly in their head. I usually know by my libido coming on stronger. Everyone's different, just be glad you've gotten some (what sounds like) decent gear.

that "kick" that everyone is talking about could be pretty much a psychological side effect, somewhat of a placebo effect, it is usually by week 4 or 5 that the androgenic effects (ex: libido, which leads to well being and confidence) are instilled, so by being so confident you feel that surge of over confidence and well being, there is nothing concrete or scientific in testosterone therapy that shows that patient have "felt kicks" or whatever. I haven't felt a kick, I just felt really good and confident and in turn I also look good so that's a booster.

It's a side effect, it may or may not happen, there was this insane dude (p91swat) or something like that, that thought his pharm grade test (prescribed by a doc) was bunk because he wasn't getting his "predator face" (whatever that means), he even had a theory that there was cyp powder shortage in the US and that pharmaceutical companies were just selling diluted testosterone.... The brain is a powerful organ, if you believe something will work, it will, I have seen guys on visibly bunk gear gain 15lbs and keep it, cause they were sure that it was working, but in turn they were injecting cooking oil. On other hand I have seen guys on Innovagen gear (pharm grade lab in Canada) believe their gear was bunk because of lack of "kick" and they haven't gained shit. Keep a positive attitude, everything will work out.
