thinking about increasing my dose of test E during cycle
Hi everyone , Im very new and I am on my first ever test cycle . I am on week 7 and haven't really noticed much difference at all except for raging boners and horniness(no complaint here at all lol). Also I'm having pretty bad body acne outbreaks especially on my butt , I am 42 years old and I am 6'1 200 lbs. My diet is spot on like it always is , probably 10% body fat , My strenghth has not increased at all and It doesn't really look like Ive added any muscle . I'm pinning 250 test E twice a week and taking 12.5 aromosin EOD , my question is , would it be a bad idea to possibly increase the amount I take during a cycle , maybe add another day where I inject or just go to 500 twice a week .Maybe I should give it more time , I just wanted to see what some of you guys thought > I might just be impatient , thanks for reading

Food you need more food thought I was eating enough food and wasn't getting anywhere just wasting gear then I came in here and read a ton of posts about eating and wammo started getting bigger but don't go start eating McDonald's for the extra cals you will go backwards doing that use the search bar here lots of info on diet and nutrition
Post an example of what your diets like. Tell us what, how much, and when you eat it. And like rusty said post a pic
Rustyhookerpicture....blur out face. Feds love mug shots.
Very good changes you've made!! Guys below are correct...work with em
First thing that jumps out at me at food.. you say diet is spot on? What's your calorie intake per day
check your diet and training mate, 500mg of test E is enough and you do not need to go higher at all. you can do bloodwork to check your testosterone levels and see if your gear is real or bunk.
As long as your testosterone is real you just need to eat like a horse and train like a madman. Just a guess but I think you need to increase calories and really pay attention to the diet. Keep us posted and good luck. Sometimes it's fustrating as hell and wonder why am I not growing. I realized I hardly eat 2500 calories and I am 5 11 230lbs. I fucking hate food but it is the main ingredient. One more thing you may not need tha t much arimadex. I do better when I let my estrogen get a little higher than normal range.
The OP is not on arimidex he is on aromison... op has also not done bloods in the middle of his cycle so doesn't know what his current estrogen levels are...
My fault. Just trying to help that's all
If you're not making gains and eating right get bloods done
More is not better. You could change your work out or your diet. I know when I hit a plateau. I will change my work out and then diet to match. Seems my body will get used to doing the same thing and won't change. Some times I just need a break too if I've been at it too much. Not enough rest and I get super frustrated which is detrimental to progress.
Complete your stats...
Post up a pic and your cal/mac plan.
And....NO....don't increase your dose...
Do you have a cycle plan you can post up? I mean you do have a starting point and a stopping point, right? You have a PCT in your plan??
You're late on bloods...nonchalant attitude is not right when cycling...get with the program
Yes I have enough nolva and clomid for my pct , Im doing a 12 week cycle . I added a pic but it hasnt showed up yet , maybe I did it wrong , i will try agian , thank you for your response , I will just continue this cycle at 500 a week .
Sounds great...glad you're here...please keep us updated..
It's your first cycle... you should not need to increase your dose. Nobody, absolutely nobody on this forum is going to tell you to increase your dose.
The one thing EVERYONE is going to ask is - have you done the necessary blood work?
Ok , thats pretty much all I needed to know , I took bloods before but none since . Is it normal to be this far in and not notice much difference ? , I'm sure I should go get more bloods done to see wheere I am at I suppose . Thanks for the quick response
You should be hitting the peak of your cycle by now. If not much is happening, your test is either bunk (check with bloodwork) or your diet and training are way off base. If you are not making gains off of 500mg/wk you could add a 1,000mg more and you still aren't going to make any gains. Better lay out your diet (cals, macros) and training routine and we will probably be able to spot the problem.
Bloods - prior - establish baseline
Bloods - half way - check test (and relevant hormones) and estrogen
Bloods - after PCT - to check that one has successfully recovered
As far as standard 12 week long, 500mg/week cyp or enth cycles go one should be at the peak of strength and gains by now but without bloods one cannot tell if in your situation things are on course or not.
There are literally hundreds of variables that can influence a cycle
Diet / calories (surplus/deficiet)
Sleep
Lifting routine
Hydration
Blood work
High / low estrogen
Stress levels
Inflammation sensitivity
Like MedDx said - we'll need a lot more information
Everyone's different but by now you should at least start feeling stronger and have more stamina with everything you do- like cardio feels easier, more reps on a lift ect
Don't increase your dose you will only be asking for sides like water retention, itchy nips or worse
