Not Responding to Test??

If someone doesn't seem to really get any response from testosterone at 500mg a week (no sides or results) and the gear is legit and assuming diet and training are in check, would they notice much of a difference if they took 1g a week? Or would they be better of adding in something else like tren, deca, etc.
 
My first cycle was 500mg of test e (Axio) was planning on taking it for 10 weeks. After about 6 weeks I thought for sure it was fake because I noticed no difference in results in the gym or side effects. But I got blood work done at 8 weeks which verified that it was real. But at the point I just said fuck it and ended the cycle early.

I'm on my 6th week of my of second test e cycle, started with 50mg a day of dbol for 4 weeks. Even from the dbol I never noticed any difference in pumps, no crazy lower back pumps, no water bloat, nothing. I did seem to gain some strength, but nothing rediculous and I did gain 5 lbs. However I think those 5 lbs were just from upping my cals to 5000 a day and 450 grams of protein a day. And yes I weight my food out and eat the same thing every fucking day so I know I am actually eating that much.

Also I am on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) (not related to my cycles. I started before I ever even touched steroids) and I haven't even noticed a difference from that. testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) brought my test levels from 200 to 800 so a 400% increase and it never made me feel any different.

So I think I either just have a really high tolerance to testosterone or I just don't get much out of it.

So my question is, do you think I would be better off trying a gram of test a week, or keep doing my 500mg a week of test and add in some tren around 200-300mg a week?

And I realize that both of these options seem a bit extreme but at this point I just wanted to see some results and actually feel the shit I'm taking is doing something. Plus I havent got any sides from the gear I've taken so far so I think I'll be okay. Also, because I'm on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) I don't need to worry about recovery post cycle

If you cant make gains on 500mg per week then something is wrong. The gear is bunk/underdosed or YOU are doing something wrong. Not eating correct and/or not training correct...
 
well what is youre testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose? 250/wk? maybe when you blast you will have to go up to say 750 or something....anyone else?
 
Do you take any prescription meds other thatn your testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)? I had a friend in a similar situation that went through the same thing. No one could figure it out.

He was taking xanax and valium. The only thing he got was gyno. At doses of 750 or better, hardly any weight gain just really vascular with pepperoni nipples. LOL

He was a drug addict though, and I strongly believe that through years of abuse he fried something besides just braincells.

Im not pointing any of that at you, just sharing.
 
My testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose is 150mg/week.

Its funny you mention the thing about your friend being a drug addicts. Because while I was definately NOT a drug addict, I did take a bunch of stupid shit when I was in high school. And I always had a higher tolerance than any of my friends. Didn't matter if it was weed, alcohol, coke, vicodin, etc. It always took me a shit load to get any kind of high.

Don't know if thats related at all to what I'm experiencing. Because I fell like even if my diet and training were shit, I should still feel something. Especially on 50mg/day of dbol.
 
We are not talking about cocaine here. These are hormones. What kind/brandof gear are you blasting with? Get your test levels checked. It the gear is good then its your diet and training.
 
There has to be something defiantly wrong with your gear for you not to be getting any results. I mean for you not to even get any strength gains from your dbol, something just don't seem right.
 
Heres the big Question. the Test E that you have... Did you get it while it was on sale?

i have been hearing alot about this and the Test E being shit.
now i like Axio but i have some of the Test E that was on sale and it is the shittyest stuff i have ever used.
it took a while to get it in due to customs and well when i used it rather high. i got squat.
 
^^^^ I too bought a gross of the sale item you mentioned..lackluster..^
OP..your diet is wrong..or training is wrong..or both. Do you sleep enough..

Sure fire test of test..are your erections more freguent and more pronounced and are you fucking your gf, bf or hand more than before ??? If not..bunk gear.
500 mg s of a good testosternon ..and I terrorize my gf..but she s a trooper and loves it. Dick get s so hard it hurts..
 
I had blood work done on my previous cycle and test levels were so high that they couldn't be read ("greater than 1500"). Still never felt any different.

I find it wierd that everyone always takes about how they have such a crazy sex drive while on testosterone, but in that "300mg vs 600mg" study, it said there was no difference in sex drive or mood of the participants on 25mg, 50mg, 125mg, 300mg, or 600mg of test. I wonder if its just placebo for a lot of people.

If thats the case then your issue is either your diet, training, recuperation. More gear will not help, its not a crutch and that is what your wanting to use it for. Gear is the last 10% of the bodybuilding equation and it will not make up for a deficit else where.
 
at 100 a week I was like 1365..buddy of mine on another board was 10500 plus..he never comes off though.
I can t undrstand your sex drive though..
 
I'd go to 750mg first, but when you say no side effects, if there is no increase in sexual desire and those sort of things I'd vote for bunk gear or some kind of huge SHBG issue.
