Is test kicking

If this is your first cycle it isn't uncommon to "gain" 20-30 lb. Of course a lot of that will be water weight and fat. If you're not eating then you're not growing. Make sure you're getting 4k calories a day to maximize growth (some recommend more calories some less. 4k works for me and I'm just a bit heavier than you). It takes about 3600 calories in excess of your normal caloric intake just to put on a single pound.
Also, I typically see my best gains within the first 8 weeks. Good luck.

Im about to finish my first cycle on cyp and iv gained 15 kg, and yes fat and water retention is part of it so ill lose some of that when i come off id say. My growth came around week 6-8, you will just notice mate it kind of comes out of no where. Its pretty amazing. But, my diet was/is perfect and training hard, so make sure its all intact.
That was at 500mg a week so 600mg will be heaps.

if you think you need to increase calories .. you probably do .. you should have gotten yourself to the diet forum minimum 6 weeks ago but better late than never i guess ...
still 11lbs is pretty good IMO.. how much longer you running this cycle? you still have time to put on that other 10+lbs you expected..

shit my first cycle of just test i was up like 10-12lbs by week 4 haha. Its just up to the persons genetics, diet, and training. weight doesnt matter man, you could gain 5 lbs and it be lbm you know. just keep the diet in check and train hard. its all up hill from now on week 6 it should start to be kicking in hard!

It is also contingent on how much muscle you are carrying to start with.
Someone who is 6' @ 150lbs might be able to put on 20lbs, whereas if they were 200lbs to start with they might only go up 10.

The last 6 weeks is when you will see the most of the gains anyway. Make sure your eating enough. Take a few days and actually add up what your eating. Some guys think they are eating enough....but they really are not. Add up your protein..carbs...calories...fat. Just do it, trust me. Plus...11 lbs is pretty good for 6 weeks. Yes it could be more but it really depends on how much water your holding too. I am sure some of it is. Are you taking an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) while on cycle?
