Not in the zone

**Nitro29** · 07-18-2008, 09:37 PM

I am getting size, strength, and stamina from my gear but I am not getting the aggression/ alpha male thing to any noticeable degree. I am on Test E 500 mg/w and GH 5iu's pd. I kick started with Anavar at 50 m/d.
Shouldnt I be feeling some increased confidence/ game by now? Please advise, TIA...Nitro

is your sex drive way up, or is it down or the same? try not having sex or masturbating for a week. that turns me into an invincible iron-pounding demon when i can manage to do it, which is very tough.

Bro, confidence and game? Shoot if you didn't have that before gear then you just ain't got it. If you are getting stronger and making gains then its working.

bf%?
maybe estrogen is high
i think that is the most over looked cause of many unpleasant things

**MercyDog** · 07-18-2008, 10:42 PM

correct, curious myself

**GPS226** · 07-18-2008, 10:48 PM

you're running gh during your first cycle? how long are you running it for?

**bmit** · 07-18-2008, 11:10 PM

How many days into test are you? If you are doing 500mg week you will notice it by beginning of week three, week four at latest

lol alcohol helps with that. but you didn't take steroids to get girls did you? as long as you're getting bigger you can't complain much

**MercyDog** · 07-19-2008, 12:17 AM

at 5-10 244lbs. and stamina with only one other cycle under your belt I'd be very happy.

I was always a very confident youngster, but have been through some traumatic experiences since then that have shaken me a bit. I hzve been trying to get back my swagger, and was really hoping this would give me the boost I needed. I am getting a lot stronger and making gains, so yes it does seem to be "working". I have just heard the guys say what an emotional boost they get on gear, and it has not seemed to happen to me...yet.

Unfortunately I have not had my bf% checked. I may try and get one of the girls at the gym check it for me.

I have recently started taking .5 mg/d Arimidex because I was worried about the estrogen thing. Maybe that will help some, thanks.

Yes, I am running gh. I was thinking about running it for 3 months and then deciding whether to keep going or stop, depending on results.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I am at week seven, so I think I am hitting the sweet spot of my cycle now. Seems like I feel glimpses of the confidence I am looking for, but so far thats it.

Hmm, not sure if you are reffering to me or not. This is my first cycle, and I am 5'10" 195lbs.

Thanks for all the great thoughts guys, I really appreciate it...Nitro

Hey Nitro, I feel ya Bro,trust me when I say that my life has been anything BUT smooth sailing from the get go. I think that "boost" you're talking about comes from the way others address you and compliment you on your appearance, in our case our bodies. If it hasn't started happening yet, it will. I also think alot of that confidence has to come from within. I will also say that I believe that the whole thing about steroids giving us a sense of well being is mostly psychological rather than actually physical.Just my opinion.

Thanks Bro, I think you are really on to something. Just recently, people are starting to treat me, look at me, and act differently toward me. This thing about confidence does, I think, have to come from within as you point out. I had it once, and I can have it again. I am sure we all respond to different compounds differently to, so there are any number of factors. Thanks for your reply man...Nitro

Good! Glad to hear things are turning around for you.

iv always been a big kid, try 6'4 300lbs.. so people easily get intimidated by me.. i have to keep reminding myself to smile all the time in order not to send the wrong message.. now that im on gear and my body is taking an even more elaborate shape i see people even more intimidated... not so fun unless you have an on/off switch guys
