Started my test(e) 250mg e5days last monday. I have had 2 injections as well as hcg (250iu eod). I have put on some weight (4-5 lbs) but I am not sure if that is just contributed to placebo effect and over-eating or the actual test I am using. (I am eating more than usual).

What should I be looking for at this point in the game to tell me that the stuff really is helping me? I work out HARD 4-5 days a week... yet I just don't feel like anything has really "kicked-in" to let me know the test is working. Should I move up my dosage or add something? Or just be patient?

btw, this is my first cycle ever... and just a little disappointed.

bro, test e takes 4-5 weeks to kick in man. relax, dont be disappointed, it hasnt ever started working yet

Just be patient bro.. injectable steroids do not kick in all at once. you will not see the effects immediately like you would if you shot some meth or something. The testosterone will start its effects on your body immediately, but it will take some time before it is able to exert it's effects significantly on your CNS; it's similar I guess to taking an antideppressant... peak plasma drug concentration is achieved rather quickly, but it takes several weeks before you begin noticing the effects.

Random boners for no reason any day now-especially while driving(I imagine the vibration causes your weiner to respond?). Give it another 2 weeks or so and weights will feel a bit lighter than usual. It will be subtle, but noticeable. Each week after that your poundages should climb. At the same time your risks for sides will increase-although you may get very few, if any. For a lot of guys sides are more prevalent after going off(yikes!).

hahahah! great thanks! greatly anticipating the "random boners" any day now!!!!!

this is good to know... also good to know that I was able to gain what I have so far simply on a placebo affect!

FYI- 411 was contingent upon your gear being real and adequately dosed. If you're shooting pancake syrup mixed with 50 mgs/ml of Deca in a bottle labled test 250, you might not feel shit.

gotcha... the gear is from GA Labs, so I have been told it is legit.

ya bro, give it some time. what i usually notice before any real 'strength gaines', is my recovery time after lifting hard. i dont feel sore, or as sore. also workout time goes from 45/60 minutes up to 60/90 minutes depending on which muscle group im working, and i just dont feel as tired. thats why i hate being 'off_cycle', cuz my muscle endurance goes to shit. i can still lift almost as much while on, just not as long of workouts.

Be patient.

Be patient.

I have been told that 250mg every 5 days is not enough...

how about every 4 days OR stick to every 5 days BUT up the dosage to more than 250mg? (how much??)

 

[Pat_McCrotch]

250 every f days is 500mg/wk. That is plenty especially for a first cycle.

you shouldn't worry about feeling anything for a while, maybe 3-4 weeks at that dose, I would be a little more patient, and if you still don't feel like its doing what you want it to do, then double the dose at week 3-4. Give it time.

lol. Just wait my man. 250mg every 5 days translates into 350mg/week which is reasonable for a first cycle - I would recommend 400mg/week but 350 isn't going to be much different. I think you're going to feel like you jumped the gun with this post in about another couple weeks. Keep working hard.

wtf 7 days? dude cmon if you've read at all what everyone says you don't begin to see the results for at least a few weeks. Trust me, by week 5 your gonna be in the mirror every 5 mins saying "damn im big".

patience.
