After One Month....When Do I Know it's Starting to Work?

[F1 Power]

Hey all, it's now been almost exactly one month since I started my first cycle of BD Sustanon. I'm only on a mild dose of 1cc a week....nothing else but some liquidex. I'm lifting 4-5 nights a week. Now I know it's early but here's what I'm starting to notice so far...

- I'm hungry all the time so I eat alot more.
- Only have gained about 3 lbs (give or take 1)
- My traps are the only things noticeable bigger but then again, I see myself everyday so I don't know for sure.

What else should I look for / expect in the next couple weeks?

Thanks

250mg per week isn't a helluva lot but if it's your first cycle you should still gain nicely. The gains should really start happening right about now going forward. Strength increases, lbm increases, increased recovery, and better pumps in the gym are a few of the signals you should begin seeing.

Make sure you have post cycle therapy (pct) ready to go.

250 might not be enoughto make that much of a difference. thas only 50mg OVER testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). Honestly I would bump it to 5, you should notice a little more than that by now.

I tried a low dose cycle 300mg/test and it blew ass!!!! No strength gains just some water weight and maybe an ounce of muscle!

I DEFINATELY recover alot faster than before.

I was told by someone in the gym the bigger traps are the first signs. Is this accurate? ...any other small signs like this?

If I still don't see any major gains by the 6th or 7th dose, I may up it to 300mg/week.
I'm just paranoid of side effects and I'm over cautious to begin with.

HeHateMe: Yes, I have post cycle therapy (pct) ready to go

This is true too. the more ya do the more sides you'll get... I too have heard that bigger traps are the first signs, ive never paid attn to it though.. Up your test

1cc a week aint gonna do nothin but replace what your body already makes....bump that up to 2cc a week since your new and maybe the pipes will start to kick...ya heard..

up it to twice a week at least and for a first cycle exepect lifting a little heavier then usual and some water retension, with out going into great detail. But truly i think u should rethink the entire thing and stop now.

bump up your dosage. your reallly not getting that much since Sustanon (sust) has different esters in it. you are gett really small doses of the different esters.

Come on and get real !!

You naturally produce 50-70mg/week, so as you can see 250mg/week is considerably more than that......please get your facts straight before attempting to dispense advice.

Like SC stated above, 250mg/wk is much more than typical HRT doses, which I believe are in the neighborhood of 200mg every other week.

If you've never used before, and cannot grow off of such a cycle, then other components such as diet and weight training are lacking.

F1 you never mentioned how long you plan to run the cycle. I'd go atleast 10, preferably 12 weeks if I were you. Good luck...

i thought Sustanon (sust) was a blend of 3-4 esters, no? i thought one was fast acting, two were medium pace, and one was a long lasting ester? If i'm right..you should have started seeing some gains already.

Also..you didn't list how much liquidex you're taking...maybe too much..maybe you should drop that and see if the gains come quicker? And yeh..i'd probably up it to 2cc a week if the 1cc in a month hasn't done jack shit for you.

 

[Skarhead1]

HRT now is abot 125/mg a week. he's not even taking twice that. You guys also didnt factor in that he might not respond to test that well (some ppl dont)... I personally didnt grow SHIT off of 300mg a week and my diet/training was on point. LIke everyone else said, up your dose

Would have been better if you took some test e or test cyp i think with only 1cc a week sustanon will act different then those previous two compounds.

I have a 10 cc bottle and I plan to go all 10 weeks (unless I up the dose).

While we're on the topic of upping the dose, I'm debating going to 1.5cc/week starting this next shot but I was told by someone at my gym that the real results should start happening here on out (someone here mentioned this too). He stated I should wait a couple weeks to see what happens. I'm not looking to gain massive amounts..only about 15-20 lbs of solid, defined muscle.

I was told it's a blend of those esters too.

I'm taking .5 mg of liquidex every other day.

Thank you. 250mg is plenty for a first cycle too bad more ppl dont start out with a dose like this. youll make good gains and keep the sides down. When it kicks in it may be less noticeable but itll work just fine.

How is he not taking 2x that? Sustanon (sust) is usually 250mg/ml if not more. With regards to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), it is designed to put you in the very UPPER range of test levels i.e. around 1000ng/dl. So if you double the hrt dose to 250mg that should put you well over 2000ng/dl. If you cant grow off that theres a problem? I think hehateme is right too its more like 100mg a week.

not for EVERYONE ... 250 mg is shit, esp for a 200 lber imo

HRT is dependant on the individual dude.

I'm not looking to gain massive amounts..only about 15-20 lbs of solid, defined muscle.

That is a massive amount of muscle to put on in 2 1/2 months, at 6'2" people notice that kind of weight even on me, its a big difference for me to be 240 or 260.
