Why does Test take so long to kick in?

[McFakerton]

I'm starting in to week 3 of my cycle of Test E. A friend of mine started a cycle a couple of weeks before I did (so he's beginning week 5 I believe) and he doesn't think that anything is happening at this point.

He's been running Sust, and his first 10cc's were from Vet Pharma's or something like that, and the stuff that he's (and I) have got now is GA.

This, of course, has me worried that my gear is bunk but since I'm only starting week 3 it's a bit early to tell.

So, why does it take so long to really kick in, and does anybody else have any experience with GA's gear?

Thanks in advance.

Well....

1) Are you eating?
2) When are you eating and what?
3) Are you working out 125% or are you dogging it thinking the gear will do it for you?

I think it takes a few weeks, 3-6 to "see" noticable results, but you feel them asap if your pushing yourself in the gym.

For instance, I'm on Test E, EQ, Deca, and Winny..
My 2nd day in the gym I was pushing an extra set and 3 more reps per set on weights I didn't normally do well with.

YOu should feel before you see results

i just took 6th shot, 5 weeks now, of test e and c, it just kicked in after sixth shot, and it's beautiful thing bro. your not anymore horny? harder erections and lasting longer though? man, it's been doing that to me since second shot.

now, i just squeeze my muscle and it's fucking rock hard right now, i am on a constant pump it seems. veins are coming outta the woodwork, it's beautiful. don't know about your lab though, but for the peeps who knows what i got, CHEERS

test sometimes takes around 5 weeks for it to really kick in, but if you are running sustanon, you should be feeling something for the first 3 weeks !

some strength increase or maybe higher reps, but not much more in your first 3

My experience has been that sust kicks in a bit earlier (week 3-4) then Enath or Cyp (week 4-6). Although this depends on your dose and I believe the frequency of your injections (normalization of blood levels). Prop is fairly fast acting and suspention is the fastest acting ether I know of.

Did you get your gear from a reliable source?

 

[boyer]

Get prop

 

[jagerbombme]

Get prop

lol

none of those aas are in your system working yet. you are experiencing a placebo effect.

i started test e about 3 weeks ago but i shoot every 2 days is tHAT TO MUCH

No one can say "too much" - that depends on what you want for a weekly dose - but too frequent - for test E definately. You only need to shoot test e once per week. Some guys like to do 2 shots per week to make sure levels are always high in the body.

now if you were running prop - then EOD would be ideal.

OP - you could kick start your cycle with 2 weeks of prop next time - you will notice it quicker. then run your E or C for the rest of the cycle.

Some bizarre comments in this thread.

Why was it bumped from 2006?

As an aside, I'm working with a client who's been a hard trainer his whole life, totally natty. He's doing his first cycle. After 14 days of a light cycle he's up 7 pounds , people are noticing and he's amazed at the progress.

I will NEVER understand where the belief came from that steroids take weeks to "kick in. " They "kick in" immediately and results can be seen in as little as 10 days. Either these people don't now how to train or they started juicing way too soon.

I think it's mostly due to people undertraining and/or undereating.

feeling the aas and seeing results are totally different things. i dont care what anyone says, you dont see results in days. you may feel the aas, but you dont see it for a few weeks.

But people don't say that. They infer that the drug has yet to take effect, which is just not so. They think a shorter compound acts quicker -- also not true. You don't "see" results from prop any sooner than with a long acting ester.

i agree. i think people are just using the wrong language. i was guilty of that in the past.

 

[gstacker]

i started test e about 3 weeks ago but i shoot every 2 days is tHAT TO MUCH

That would depend on mgs a week that it adds up to, you can take that same amount all at once or one time a week an prolly be close to the same results. If you inject more often with test e it wont hurt anything but your ass and for no reason, twice a day if u like.

As far as the original question, if i just start up i will know if the gears fake within a week, i should feel more alert and powerful all the way around not jus in the gym.

Prop is good for not retaining water ... I would personally agree with under eating and not being able to get a good workout in ...

wait another week
you'll be humpin the 400lb cow at 7 eleven

If I could make people stop say too thinks about juice that would be:
Long esters needs long time to kick in
Anything less than a gram is a waste if you are over 200

 

[gstacker]

I think ur just reading it wrong, the poster never mentions anything about what he sees as far as results. He suspects his gear is fake becuse nothing is hapining. Never once did he mention he looks in the mirror and he cant see himself getting bigger. If you think he worded it wrong ask him. But to asume he worded it wrong and debate it is pointless. Like i posted earlier it kicks in for me within the week. And no i cant tell the diff in the mirrior if that satisfies tim tim.

i was posting to nelson. you obviously arent smart enough to see that. thanks though for the pointless drivel. that satisfies timtim. i have never used the ignore feature till now. i care that little to read your opinions.

I'm confused about this exchange of info Nelson. In your post you state that the changes have been "seen" in 14 days and it seems that you imply that it's not out of the ordinary to "see" results is as little as 10 days. I don't think I misinterpreted since your original post says others were commenting, I would assume that would require a visible change.

Then timtim says he doesn't care what anyone says (you included) that it is impossible to see results in 10 days, and your reply seems to support his claim.

As for me I can assure you that I have "seen" changes in as little as 10 - 14 days, although if I just stopped at that point I'm sure they wouldn't be permanent and could possibly/probably be water. Just for clarification, do you feel that you can only feel a difference in that amount of time or do you agree that it can also be seen?

I think we're starting to split hairs now. Let's just say that you should know if your gear is real or not within 2 weeks -- be it fell it, see it, or being able to lift more.

My original response was to the ongoing myth that some people perpetuate, that the drug isn't effective for a few weeks, or that a short acting ester works faster.

And of course, you never know what any individual is doing -- not training, right, not eating right, not using enough, not knowing what to look for, etc, etc, etc.

 

[gstacker]

Well this is a public forum and ive stated my opinion and ive heard others and made my comments, never once did i get upset or try n offend anyone, but if i did then yes the ignore option might be best... Split hairs or not im just saying i will know within a week if my gears fake it will kick in within a week... Thats my opinion and its the best way i can explain it word for word to the original poster

 

[perryscoon]

Test E takes about a month to kick in for me. Run that shit a while bro. Not some 6 week bullshit.

Im following what ur saying, and just to ad i can take in low calories skip the gym and still the gear will kick in and i will know it... Ofcourse i would never do that... I dont mind debating anything split hairs or not talking to me or whoever... U wernt talking to me thats terrific send a pm but if its on the forum and i disagree i will debate it... Im not mad at tim tim or anyone else

Excellent post. I think you summed it up right there. It doesn't take weeks for it to "kick-in." Some people will feel it, some will feel and see it. Some may not do either in the first two weeks but it has "kicked in." The difference, as you point out, is usually diet and WO, add to that individuality and that's why we have so many different takes on the subject.

I have to agree with this. My last cycle was 8 weeks long. 350 mgs total test c and p every week (doctor prescribed) and 40 mg anavar everyday (ug). I went from natty 230 lbs to 250 lbs solid muscle gain. Lost an incredible amount of fat. Waist size went from 36 to 30. I'm 35 years old and haven't been this lean since high school. I started seeing results within two weeks and felt a difference the first week. I have several cycle under my belt been in the gym for 21 years. This has yet to be the best experience I have ever had with aas. Little to no sides. Mainly hair falling out. I think i could have gotten by with less than this.
