How long is too long

**Tha Freak** · 02-23-2009, 10:34 AM

Running a cycle of test e and deca (250mg test e and 200mg deca every 3.5 days) i am 6 weeks in. I have gained 8lbs and have some moderate stength gains. My nuts have shrunk my sex drive is outragous my patience is shorter and i have acne on my chest and back so i know it is real gearbut i have yet to feel the big kick i have heard about. My diet is on point and i work out hard. I am not complaining so much as i am wondering is this normal or am i too impatient.Thanks in advance.

Errmmm, what exactly is your Q mate, i'm stumped!!!!

Sorry probably need to be more exact, how long should it take too really feel some stength gains

Those are not monster doses and at week six I think 8lbs is fine. Are you taking arimidex or anything to keep your estrogen and water weight down? That could be what's keeping your weight gain to a minimum. My last cycle I gained 25lbs but there was water and fat to be accounted for.

Well i'd say your doing fine if you have moderate strength gains and mass gains, just carry on doing what your doing and hope to add a couple of lbs a wk from hear on in, shouldn't be a problem if your diet is excellent.

No i have some on hand clomid too but really not any water retention that i can tell. I am not as concerned with the weight as the strength my brother and some friends said they went up 50 -60 lbs on their bench in 6 weeks i know everyone is different just wondering

That is an outrageous claim! 50-60lbs in 6 weeks. Sounds like one of those bs advertisements. I wonder if anyone else on here thinks it's possible to increase your 1 rep max on the bench by that much? I'm assuming that's what you mean.

sounded high to me too haven't seen him work out he lives a couple of hours from me. what is normal 1 rep max increase from your experiance

it will take a while for both the test and deca to kick in full force becasue they are long, heavy esters. If you had frontloaded your first two shots, you'd be up to par, but give it a couple more weeks

You have all the side so you reckon it is real gear, if you had similar results but had no nut shrinkage, acne, emper issues or sex drive increase - would you then say that the gear was fake or are some people just immune to sides?

Take some pics of yourself too, the first time I did a stack I had the same thought in my head about it 'kicking in' even though I saw the scale climb, weights increase, and everybody was tripping on my gains I didn't realize how much it was really kicking in cause you see yourself everyday, take some pics to keep things in perspective.
