depends on the test, long esters take a while to kick in ( so results can only be felt 3 weeks into the cycle) where as something like propinate can be felt within a week
I just started a 10 week cycle of test cypionate (500mg/week) and anavar 40mg/ED for 7 weeks.. so far i am in week 4 and have gained 11 pounds and strength has increases dramtaically
