Test E. (No strength or sex drive increase)

[mwweber21]

Friend of mine told me he started his first cycle of Test. E. 9 days ago (doesn't have access to this site), which he ordered domestically. He wants to run 500 mg/week of test e with arimedex at 0.5 mg/day as an anit-e.

He said that he injected 500 mg (2 cc) on July 21 (9 days ago) and July 28. He said that he hasn't yet experieced any effects, such as an increase in strength, an increase in sex drive, or noticeable weight gain.

Would you be worried that the product he received isn't legit. He said that he felt very minor pain/cramps in his glute up to a couple days after the injections.

When running 500 mg/day Test E how long does it normally take for an increase in sex drive/strength to occur?

about 3 -4 wks to really notice a change

It takes about 2 weeks, he must increase his calorie and protein intake.

He's concerned after 9 days? 3 weeks bro before he'll notice anything. Some respond quicker and some repond slower but for me it's 2-3 weeks. Tell him to be patient, eat, sleep and bust his ass in the gym.
Now if you ahemmm....I mean your friend uses a Bowflex like in your signature then he will get very little if anything from his cycle. The ads crack me up though, "look at his pecs, they're going crazy!" haha. They make great clothes racks though.

He's hardcore: lot's of squats (back,front, romanian) and deadlifts mixed in with upper-body. Only problem is that he surfs too much.

Couple quick questions:

First, if he's worried about gaining body-fat should he wait a couple weeks before increasing calories, or can he increase them now.

Also, he wants to run arimedex @ 0.5 mg ED? Is this the best way to minimize estrogen related side-effects?

Last question: Is proscar at 5 mg/day (version from India) sufficient for combating hair loss? Could this be the reason for the decrease in his sex drive?

That's funny. I had a friend in college who was a little brick shithouse. 185 lbs, 5' 9", and benched 315 (on a bad day) as a freshman. His parents bought him a bowflex and when he took me home with him one weekend, in his bedroom he had the bowflex and had his clothes hanging from it. That's pretty much all he used it for. Nice surprise, mom and dad!

I can't believe someone would expect to be the hulk and a walking hard on instantly. I mean I could see this question at like week 6 but 9 days is nuts.

1) He needs to increase his caloric intake now.

2) amidrex or AIFM (at the AF store) are a must

3) Not sure about proscar...

I can remember my first cycle of Sust...Even though the pain was intense....After the first week I was praying that the stuff was not fake cause I wasn't feeling anything...But after about 3 weeks...Man that shit was wicked! I love Test!
