3rd week of cycle, still not jacked

[IRN-BRU]

I've done Test-E for 3 weeks (250mg x 8, I frontloaded a bit), dose is now 250 e4d. I've gained 11 pounds, looking at +2 or 3lb/week recently. 1st cycle.

Strength is up a bit but not convincingly more than I'd expect if I was bulking naturally.

Should I increase the dose if I dont start thinking it's kicking in hard enough this week? Or am I just being impatient and expecting too much? Does it take more time to ramp up?

I was expecting more strength, bigger pumps by now, or something. I've had a few hot flushes, and my sex drive is up tho.

Stats 187lb, 5'10", 29yo, bf guess 12-15%. My routine is high frequency, very roughly it's upper/lower/repeat (day rest sometimes). Been doing HST and similar for a while now and it should be on the money.

donno bout you boss but i cant put on 11 lbs in 12 weeks.. so that in 3 weeks when using a longer ester is GOOD!!!

ya, that is good bro, the stuff isn't magic.. also you may want to change your diet or your training..

You have to be patient with the longer esters, you are expecting to much too soon with Test E. I never notice strength increases until week 4-5, as for the weight you have gained, i always gain 10 lbs in the first 3 weeks, unfortunately its ALL water......so dont get too excited. At least you know your test is real

 

[IRN-BRU]

Yeah my appetite is alright, I've always been good at eating You dont need aas to gain 1lb/week, you just need to eat surely.

I was just hoping for strength gains to prove to myself this is working, and I'm not just going to get way too fat.

 

[IRN-BRU]

Week 4-5, okay sounds like I'm probably still on track then - cheers jaywill. I agree about the water gain, hopefully that's levelled off.

What he said ^^^. You're in the 3rd week of a cycle with a long-acting compound. Talk to us at the end of week six. . .I bet you'll be singing a different tune.

3rd Fukin Weeks Bro? - Something tells me if you expected gains that quick, you didn't do your homework on what you're putting in your body.

Come on - think of it as a "lifestyle" - not a "quick-fix".......................
