So Im curious if my Test is kicking in?

[jpop7]

I have been on Test Cyp going into 3.5 weeks. Just a test cycle doing 425mg a week.
I don't know people I gained about 6-7 pounds since I started. But I feel its from eating more carbs giving me more intense workouts . No fat gain.

I was on a maintenance diet before starting the cycle. Hitting food more now.
Strength hasn't really increased much. I took some creatine today and had great pump doing arms. But other than that I don't feel anything out of the ordinary.

My neighbor who was a strong man competitor tells me wait for it to kick in. Like my muscles will want to explode.
Is my dosage too low. My stats before starting is 200 at 10% 5 foot 8. Will it not kick in as much since I'm already muscular.
Not sure how it works.

Maybe it has and I don't know. Sure not feeling anything new. But I have expierenced some drop in fat and increased muscle size. Not so much strength. Im more for aesthetics do higher reps.

thanks!

I did a little more reading and it looks like weeks 4-6 will be most therapeutic.

Just curious....Why do people report that on a cycle they feel tons more energy, more strength, trouble sleeping, extra horniness, and that the injection leaves them feeling a rush like high for a little while? Like ipop7, I never felt a damn thing like people report in the entire 10 week cycle I did...I want to say that the physical feelings that are reported is quite exaggerated!

For being 200lbs, I probably would have gone with at least 500, but you'll be ok with 425. But yeah, Test C especially takes a little more time to kick in than most.

Yeah, if you're on this site much you've got to know what people are going to tell you......EAT, EAT, EAT!

You need to be chowing down down every 2hrs on cycle especially. The more food you eat, the less watery, and more quality your gains will be. Not to mention you'll keep more of your gains.

What do you have planned for PCT?

I had trouble sleeping for a while but I think some of it had to do with eating carbs before bed. Actually you shouldn't eat carbs before bed as it is counter productive, well for me it is. I dont sleep as well and may stunt repair and growth before sleep. I cant get into a deep sleep.

I had flu like symtoms for 2 weeks straight. Had night sweats very bad and shivers. I swelled up twice at injection sites. I cut it down the BA content in the oil with sterile oil and now I feel great.

Have some of what I was taking youll think twice lol. It was brutal. I did a shot in the thigh and couldnt walk.

I do have an increase in sex drive. no girlfriend though and I dont want to pick up a **** at the bar which I could easily do. ewww. I bet she'll be a hot nasty lay but Ill be afraid and have to rush to the doctor.

Hi. Yes I do eat and eat. Eating more now that my Test Flu is gone now. It was brutal I couldnt eat before. But that was from 2 shots I took. Cut the BA down with cottonseed oil.

I can increase the dosage. But I'll have to order more. I tried to stretch it out to 12 weeks. Taking 500 would only last me 10 weeks.

I was told on this board forum to take Nolvadex 2-3 weeks after my last shot. 20ml a day.

You also state the following: "Im more for aesthetics do higher reps". This is not going to help you grow muscle mass if this is all your training consists of. You really need to lift heavy to see muscle growth.

Hi Access. I do lift very heavy. I didnt get to a lean 200lbs naturally by lifting lite so try to understand what I meant.

I lift 8-10 reps heavy 3 sets and do 2 sets 5-6 reps for final reps. Sets are to my max potential.This helps me keep a very good build and I can have enough energy to do alot of other exercises such as arms or tris after doing my chest or back.

I have seen great results and definition while a bit bulking doing this. I take alot of rest between sets as well. 1.5-2 mins.

Ive been around and Im doing quite well as far as my lifting routine goes. Because I do higher reps doesnt mean its not heavy

In many ways I have learned to use the same amount of weight as I grow and try to contract my muscles and sqeeze them a bit. Instead of picking up 80 pounds and doing pec flies and not being able to feel it as well in my chest Ill do 70 and make sure I can sqeeze and roll my chest muscles in (cleavage).

I for one am not a big bench presser but I have a large chest and bigger more define arms than guys benching 350. Go figure. They look like shit while I have built what I wanted by taking smart approach to things.

Thanks

my first cycle, the first couple of weeks I was just like man this is taking forever, is this stuff even real. and then there was litterally a 3 or 4 day period where it all hit me.... the bloat, the strength, the weight, amazing pumps. give it some time, when it kicks in, its amazing.

Man, I don't know. You said it all when you used the word exaggerated. It's an ever so slight edge you gain but enough.
