I am now 7 days in to my first test-e cycle (currently taking 500mg per week in two 250mg doses, one on Mon and one on Thurs). I aim to be using Arimidex 0.25mg three times per week but not started yet as not arrived.
Observations:
1. Slight increase in libido, but nothing much
2. Few acne on legs (but I tend to get those anyway from time to time)
3. No noticeable increase in strength
4. Now the interesting part: I have put on 7 lbs in those 7 days.
1-3 above are pretty much what I expected after only a week. But I didn't expect to put on 7lbs of weight so quickly. I assume this is water retention as my body fat % is pretty much the same. I have upped my calorie intake to around 500 calories per day more than pre gear (now at around 2,750 per day) and upped my protein intake to around 250g per day (was around 150g).
Is this to be expected and what will I likely notice in the coming weeks?
