    Test didn't seem to kick in??? Week 5

    I'm in week 5 of 12 of test-e 500mg/wk... Ran m1t as a jumpstarter, After I quit the m1t I gained another 10pounds so far (23 pounds total right now)... But aside from the strength I gained from the m1t jumpstart I havn't noticed any more strength gains and am in week 5...

    I have ran m1t//4derm cycle's b4 and didn't gain this much size wise but the strength gain was aproximately the same so I know I havn't really noticed too much strength wise from the test...

    Maby it's all just in my head and I am stronger just don't realize it??? Not really sure...

    23lbs 5 weeks in..that's pretty sick. Hopefully your test strength shows up soon. Maybe it did and it just wasn't noticeable cause your M1T strength gains were tapering off...I'm sure it will boost up from here on in.

    I was putting on a pound and a quarter a day, yes some water, but my strength gains came same way, around 2.5-3 weeks. Frontloading probably helped a lot, but dude, 23lbs up you shouldnt be complaining, the strength will come soon enough. Im starting on my 10th week now, and im strong as a friggin ox, its great.

    Very important right there.



    I felt like i wasnt gaining much strength off the bat, and one day i was like "screw it, up the weight". Bam, no problems, so i upped it again. And from there, it was exponential strength increase.

    Hey bro, don' worry. I don't get the strength increase from test until around 6-7 weeks. Like everyone else has said, if you have gained that much in this little of time, I highly doubt you are having a placebo effect. I am sure your gear is real, just give it time. Good Luck and nice gains sofar

    Some people notice faster than others, i notice after about 2 weeks, nothing major though. I have seen people gain 4 or 5 lbs after 1 week of test e only, it is just water but it proves that it starts to work quicker on some.

    Just keep pushing. If your diet is right and your training right it will be no problem. It will come. Are you posibly over training? How many times a week do you work out each body part? Are you switching up your workouts? Maybe it is time to shock your body a little bit.

    I train 4 days a week... I don't do a monday-this tuesday-that thing... I only train each muscle group once per week sometimes on differenet days of the week depending on soreness level,etc...

    But I split up the muscle groups like this...

    Chest/Tri's
    Back/Bi's
    Delts/Traps
    Legs

    And for abs, I do them twice a week...

    I havn't switched up my routine for a couple months... Starting tomarrow, going to do a new routine...
