Cycle not going as planned

[jungle4321]

I am on my third week of my cycle
375/week test cyp
450/week EQ
40mg/day tbol

I am not really feeling anything. I have gotten a little stronger and my balls have shrunk, but not gaining any weight at all. I figured by this point it would be in full swing or at least the tbol would have kicked in. What do you all think is going on? My gear is from a reputable source.

what are you expecting to feel? this question has always baffeled me. Ive used for 4 years and Im not sure I ever "feel" a thing

only time I ever felt anything was the one time I used Tren. Otherwise I just perform better, endurance is up, strength is up and I grow like a weed. Eqipoise makes me short tempered. Other than that I dont feel any different when Im on either. Just maybe more energized from the Test and my wife gets more lovin. newbies expect to all of a sudden feel ike the Incredible Hulk and that just doesnt happen. Just train hard, eat ALOT of the right foods and rest and you will be very pleased after 10-16 weeks when you look in the mirror.

How many cycles under your belt B4 this?

 

[armyman]

yeah if you want to feel something take some Tren

Really you should just feel a sense of well being. The one thing i notice is the ability to wake up every morning and be ready to go, never tired.

Bro it is all in THE FOOD. If you are eating above your maintanance cals, you WILL gain, the gear will HELP turn that food into muscle....but if you're not eating enough to gain NATURALLY, you won't gain much on gear. You should have food in front of you RIGHT NOW. Seriously. Go get some. My first cycle was 40mg tbol for 4 wks, 375 test-e for 10 wks, ate about 1000 above maintanance, not all clean, gained like 17 lbs I think.

It's not what you put in your ass it's what you put in your mouth. EAT. Check out this link on Michael Phelps' diet:
Health Blog : The Michael Phelps Diet: Don't Try It at Home

And he's on the natch, cough cough.

Fuel the machine man!!

But eat food that you can digest easily. I think ground beef is easyer to digest then steak. It's just how I feel after I eat but I eat a pound or more of ground beef, ground myself so I know what's in it, in one meal while I'm on cycle. Did you see the post about the guy that had an abscess in the UK. His girl friend brought him his food while he was in the hospital. He was eating so much a nurse was worried he would gain to much weight so she kept weighing him. He was losing weight because he wasn't training!!


So EAT EAT EAT!!

3rd week is to early...and for the weight gain..post up your diet

And your stats like how long you have been training, weight, BF%, etc.

It could be a combination of a lot of things, but bad diet is usually the #1 cycle killer, IMO...

Okay....I will share a little here because I recently thought my cycle wasn't 'working". I was taing about 650 of the Ultra Test(C,P and E) a week and eating 4500 to 5000 cals a day. 6-7 meals every 2-3 hours. I expected to explode in weight problem was after 5 weeks I was the same weight I was before. i even stopped dong cardio and the weight ust stayed the same. Ends up I gained 3 lbs after 8 weeks and i was pissed. Blah....blah....blah...fake gear...etc. Fact is those cals alone should have porked me up and I was leaner, more vascular, more solid feeling and pushing decent weight.

My gear is HRT FDA approved.......so that wasn't the issue. No cardio....that wasn't the issue. I was leaner and looking bigger(outgrewXL shirts and even tightened my belt one extra notch). Ends up my BF was higher than original tested(bad device) and I went from 18% to 12% during the cycle but maintained the weight plus 3..............so i was actually a +15 or so. I'm not upset with that at 39 years old. LOL.

All guesses. No one can know for sure.

How does anyone know how this guy trained prior to going on cycle? I trained naturally for 20 years before doing anything -- a low dose oral. Within ONE WEEK my squat went up 100 pounds!

Now if you've never trained very hard and took steroids for the "superpowers" they're supposed to give, you might not feel much at all.

Or, it can be something else.

Excellent Post Here!

Unless you are Sub under 12% you really shouldnt gain that much as far as Scale Weight. Its more about how much LBM you gain!

 

[housemusik83]

Not to be too repetitive or steal real good advice from other bros but sounds to me your DIET or TRAINING is not in check... Gear is not magic potion my friend, you must work hard at EVERYTHING you do has an effect on your results...

 

[Trendsetter21]

The weight all comes from your diet, The strength from your training. Steroids will definitely help but if you are lacking in one of these area's you won't see a lot of gains. If those two things are in check the next question would be is your gear legit.

Maybe if you can post up your diet and you workout schedule it could help out a little more. But those are pretty much the only 3 things I think it could be.
