Test E cycle - when does it kick in?

[Gameness]

Hey guys

Im on week 4 of a 10 week Test E cycle, 500mg/wk.

I have gained 20 pounds so far, I started at 180 pounds and I weigh 200 pounds right now. But when looking in the mirror, I dont see any huge size gains....
I think most of the weight must be water retention? My body does not look bloated or anything that is so easy to spot on a person who uses though.

When did it kick in for you and you started seeing VERY obvious gains in the mirror? I just feel stronger than normal.

Thanks

bro you gained 20 lbs by week 4 i think the test is working or your diet sucks and your carb sensitive
the obvious gain like muscle definition and hypertrophy will come from you training maybe you need a better routine

For me it kicked in between week 5-6, everyone is different though.

my diet is good and I have not gained visible fat. Just thought alot of the gains were water but I must have been putting on muscle as well...I think my mind is playing tricks on me since I look myself in the mirror 10 times a day.

What i was referring too was the volume that you get from test, bloating up etc. Many people told me that they didn't start "blowing up" until week 6-7.

At what week did you see in the mirror that you were significantly bloated?
And how were you feeling around week 4?

Come back in 3 weeks and tell us how you feel, I'm sure you'll be starry eyed
