one thing I noticed for sure I had even when I thought my gear wasn't good was acne . I didn't get as much the oily skin a lot of people claimed ... but acne for sure . after I while I realized the strength was better and aggression , but I almost had to let myself be convinced at first . its like I didn't want to believe it was working and until I accepted it , it all made a bit more sense . weight went up about 20lb total , acne , NO atrophy realy , more aggression and strength , libido . don't know if this helps , but maybe wait a bit longer and see , its not going to be something ull notice to an extreme like being sober or drunk . just subtle differences .
