No Gains Test E, 500mg 8 weeks in.

[Georjios]

This is my first cycle and im very dissapointed, I've been lifting for 4 years naturally and finally decided to try a cycle. What I have is the real deal, bought it from a former bodybuilder. I dont feel any different, and I havent even progressed in strength. I was naturally strong to begin with, benching 315 for 5 reps, 225 for 5 reps military press and etc. No strength has increased and I even have some days where I feel weaker. I honestly dont even feel like I've taken anything, and I gained a little weight but its more fat to be honest because I was eating in a high surplus. Idk if maybe this stuff is underdosed or not, and am kind of pissed to be honest because I shut myself down for no gains at all.. I was atleast hoping to get 315 for 10 solid reps. Overall very dissapointed in the cycle and I shouldve stacked it with deca or something. Anyone ever had this issue?

Stats: 22 Y/O
Height: 6'1
Weight 220

I told the guy who gave it to me I havent progressed, and he tells me my test levels were most likely naturally high. Could that be the case?

Get blood work to verify. It will tell you a lot!

What he said.

According to you you were adding weight which should definitely correspond to a strength increase - if I was making a bet with the above information I'd go with underdosed but not bunk gear - you may be taking 200-300mg rather than 500 which would be a high-TRT dose.

I'm thinking that could be it, are we allowed to post the lab source here? Thats real dissapointing.... I'm thinking I might have been just taking in what my body naturally produced and if thats the case I have to switch sources...

I don't think there's a rule against posting what lab you're running - might want to double check though

At 500mg/wk and if you were just taking a trt dose that would mean the gear is WAY underdosed. I would think around 100mg-150mg rather than 500.

I would vote that it's bunk and would be a little surprised if your labs came back above normal.

My first cycle was 250/wk sustanon (organon) and i had great gains in size and strength on a subpar diet

Bunk gear

 

[FormerFatty]

Gear could be bunk get the Labs. Other question I have is how much sleep are you getting? Gear just kicks the body into over drive. You have to fuel it with food and than sleep to aid in the recovery. The more you train even on gear the more you need to sleep to let your body put it all back together

Fake/under dosed gear. Natural range 180-720. Even if you were 1500 on the scale without gear (double the max value which I've never heard of), you should be in the 3000-5000 range on 500mg of test. That will vary from individual to individual but that should provide a perspective.

Conclusion: get blood work that will accurately measure the value. Privatemdlabs

Every single person that is using real gear can feel the effects extremely fast. If you cant feel anything by now, either the guy you bought it from scammded you, or he got scammed himself.. Dont risk continue using it. If its fake, you dont know what inside it. Could be some bad shit. Best throw it out asap. Sorry..

Should be in full gear. Bunk shit, the guy is bs'ing you.
