Test E 1st cycle getting frustrated
ad
Tomorrow is week 4 of my 1st cycle, I am pinning 300mg twice per week of Test E.
I am eating like a horse - but clean.
My workouts are on point, I am a qualified PT so have a great idea of what I am doing for anabolic workouts.
BUT - 4 weeks in, no water retention, no acne, no bloating, no horn, no aggressiveness, no major strength increase (other than what I would expect for my training), no visible changes (again other than what I would expect for my training)
Am I just being impatient? I am starting to get frustrated as I would of thought by now it would be kicking in.

My first and second cycles were both test e @ 600/wk. My gains started to be noticeable at week 4, I am very lean so gains were easily seen. I did "StrongLifts 5x5" looking for both mass and strength. It worked great in both cycles..first cycle was 8 weeks I gained 15lbs no water retention, added approx 25lbs to my bench, 30lbs deadlift and 20lbs to my squat. Just be patient eat more calories then your burning, and make sure your training regiment is focused towards your goals. Sounds like you want strength and size, for future reference I would do 5x5 or a German volume training 5x5(more strength) or 10x10(quality mass gains). I'm a fan of keeping it simple, focus on compound lifts with a little accessory isolation work and focus that diet ;)
Hope this was helpful bro, if not sorry to waste your time.
Cheers!!
rip some people respond diff to certain tests but keep inmind test e takes at least 4 weeks to kick in for me i dont normally start to feel different until week 5 but by week 3 i do start getting night sweats give it another week n see how youi feel
interesting, the last week (week period 3 - 4) my sleep has been more restless. Did you notice any other sides?
thanks all, will post up next week or week after in here, hopefully with good news!
Am taking GB Pharma, initially was concerned with this one but have read really good things about this lab. Strength is up a little 4 weeks ago I could deadlift 150kg(330lbs) for 3 and today I did 150kg(330lbs) for 5.
I weigh in at 78kg(172lbs) so its around twice my body weight im deadlifting for 5 reps now. body fat I would estimate is around 7 - 8% now, whereas 4 weeks ago it was around 9 - 10%.
So tomorrow being a pin day, I will up the dose slightly just to be sure and wait another week to see what happens. Thanks for your comments!
@chemari - for my next cycle will certainly front load with some d-bol too!
keep us updated pal. Hope the gains are coming fast.
tread-mI'm with Rods and let me say as well, once you do get past first cycle I would go a front load on prop witb your long ester aside of the dbol, I also am on board with the prop taper at the end. This will make for a much stronger cycle and you will benefit for a much higher percentage of the cycle....have fun with it and keep meat intake high and lean for qiucker gains. You're doing a good job!
AnonThat is all you need to know the first signs are the strength gains. I wouldnt up your test if you are confident it is not under. You dont have bf on you to aromatize and start bloating, expect minor bloat if any. Also loosing 2% of bf in 4 weeks it does sound like your test is fine.
thanks Rods, appreciate your reply, I am sure I will look back in 10 weeks time and wonder why I worried so much! great being a newbie!
I guess you've heard this before, but some guys over there states that test-e can take 4 to 6 weeks to kick.
I'm starting my first cycle next week or so, and I use to be a little impatient too with everything, that's why I'm taking some d-bol ...
Wich brand of test-e are you pinning?
Regards.
Edit: Rod, you just answered while I was writting :-)
AnonYou need to give it at least another week, the first time it will take longer than any other. How is your strength and energy those two should be up by now? You wouldnt happen to be using lixus? If thats the case add .5ml more cause i think they are slightly under, once you feel on go back to 2ml if it is too much for you.
