test e 500mg a week not noticing size

[Angel1569]

Hello everyone I'm currently running test e at 500mg a week. I was wondering how long it takes for it to kick in. By kick in i mean size gains I already noticed a little bit of strength gains but want more size. I'm on my third week. Thanks in advance

Pick things up then put them down size will come- it's not a race

Wait 2-3 weeks itll come.

while steroids are not magic, you should be experiencing some changes by the third week. what changes are you noticing ?

I'm mostly noticing some strength and muscles feeling fuller more dense

That's a good sign. Weight gain should be present by week 5 - if not it's probably bunk. Even if your diet and training is shit, by week 5 you should have gained at least some water weight.

Yeah I already gained some weight about 6 pounds

Good stuff, don't worry about it then. Just focus on stuffing your face and lifting heavy. By the end of your cycle you'll feel like a mass monster!

Key word: feel. Shortly after that, you'll forever feel small and fat and never good enough lmao...

It takes time - the testosterone is just starting to go to work in the third week.

I felt the same way during my first cycle - but it was really weeks 6 & 7 when
I knew what I was in for... and it just got better from then on.

It was right around that time - maybe a little after, when I started getting comments
from people that knew me.

I honestly, didnt see significant lean mass increases until weeks 8/9/10.. I feel like I haven't progressed as well as I had expected to, I went 2-3 weeks (weeks 5,6,7) without gaining a whole lb..

I had to adjust my T4 dosage mid cycle because of a drug interaction with Testosterone. My bloodwork shows my Test is high, even at my lowest point of the week so I'm glad I made the adjustment when I did.

I feel like this is something that should be considered as had I known when I began the cycle I would have dialed down my medication earlier and seen gains from the week 5 mark.

So, if you're taking any meds, check for interactions, because Test is a med as well and if your Dr was administering them, you'd expect him to know if two drugs together could be counterproductive right?

Food for thought. Gains will come soon though. Good luck man, and keep slamming food and throwing weight!

First cycle I started to notice a slight difference in size after 5th week but most gains started at 8,9 and 10 weeks. Second cycle I'm in 8th week and haven't noticed much of anything except I'm not sore days after doing squats so I know it's doing something. My weight in the last week has actually dropped 2lbs but I don't pay much attention to the scale, mostly how my clothes fit. I'm on 500 Test C a week only....for now and doing 3J's reverse pyramid style training.
