Test cyp strength no size

[steveschap]

Hi all,
today was the first day of my7th week of a 12 week, 500mg test cyp only, cycle. as far as strength goes, this has been awesome. However I do not feel like i'm gaining that much size. I'm 6'2 211lbs im eating around 3300 calories, around 240g protein 360g carbs and 68g fat. (dont do the math on my please haha this is just out of my memory i have the proper numbers written down). I'm training two days on one day off three days on one day off with awesome intesnsity. any clues here as to why this could be? thanks guys!

Maybe gear is bunk. Strength gains are caused by placebo.
Have you gotten blood work done?
I found that my first test only cycle I gained more size than anything
My maxes only went up slightly but I put on 25 poinds.
My other cycles have been the opposite, less gains but stronger

Also you could have Los some fat and gained muscle.

no blood work has been done but i dont really think this much strength could have come due to placebo. If it does then maybe i need to always imagine im on gear haha. I've put on about 15lbs so far in 6 full weeks

I am confused. No size gains but you are up 15 pounds?

Get blood work. You might be putting on a lot of water weight if you estradiol isn't dialed in. Are you using an AI? How about HCG?

How long have you been lifting? Gains don't come like they did when you first started training and using AAS. When I was running heavy cycles I had to bust my ass to put on 10lbs quality.

I'd rather get stronger than bigger any day. If gaining 100lb on all my pb's meant having the build of a scarecrow, I'd say HELL YEAH! Stuff me with straw and push that stick up my butt!

15lbs in seven weeks, what's the problem again?

Hint: Folks that swear that they gained 30lbs in a cycle either put on a spare tire, are carrying two milk jugs worth of water, or simply need to learn how to read a scale. Oh, and there's a difference between strength training and hypertrophic routines.

Oh I missed the 15 pounds haha
That's def no a problem.
I'm still amazed at how I put on 20-25 pounds for first test only cycle
Yet my stronger other cycles I only
Put on 2-7 pounds average. But strength
Always goes up more than on first cycle

Muscle is more dense than fat. Its heavier.
