Why does it take 5 weeks? Test E

[MattUK666]

Quick silly question as I dont understand this.

Why does it take 5 weeks to take affect on your muscles to grow?

Shouldnt it start working from day 1?

[kdizzog]

It's the long ester, that releases very slowly.

[anadavid]

its not need 5 weeks man!! a lot less..
add some propionate in cycle! for first weeks

[MattUK666]

Its ok, im not in a rush at all, im on the 3rd week of my second cycle.

I am just interested to understand it all clearly, the science of it.

So im waiting for the ester to seep into my blood stream?

It takes around 5 weeks for the full blood concentration to be running at peak because of the half life of the AAS, but growth starts to build up when you have everything in place it doesn't all start at wk 5, many do respond sooner it depends on the individual

You are wrong, it can take between 4/6 weeks...

Agreed.

I am made the majority of my weight gains in the first 6-7 weeks of the cycle, than the next 6 weeks I dropped water weight, got leaner, and "solidified" the gains.

I'm on week 6 and just started to notice.

I'm on week 6 and just started to notice.

Each person is different, my eyes started getting adjusted to the change so it got harder and harder to spot it and towards the end of my cycle I just thought I looked like this before I even cycled, I didn't remeber what I looked like before lol

But yeah, every time I stepped on the scale I would be up 2bs which was pretty crazy till I hit the pleatau, then it slowed down.

Gained 20lbs while getting leaner which was a def. plus and I was eating like 3,500-4,000 calories at the time.

[408gt91]

I've only gained 4 lbs. I have a good diet just going for lean mass.
I like it so far. Just can't sleep.

It varies a lot from person to person... 4 or 5 weeks gets repeated a lot as a rule, but some people start to see changes as early as the 2nd week. What the "5 week" thing really refers to is that 5 weeks is around the point where the drug has reached it ideal concentration in your blood (based in whatever dose you're doing) and that your blood levels of the drug should be stabilized. So at 5 weeks you should certainly be seeing better gains than at 2 weeks, but that doesn't mean it isn't doing something early on.

I'm on week 5 right now of Test E 500mg/week. I started feeling good pumps at the end of week 2 and was gaining strength by week 3.. It's been said, it affects everyone different.

[MattUK666]

Great, thanks all, much appreciated.

^^^^Same for me. I have gained about 6lbs in four weeks. Strength is NOTICABLY more though! Just have become a ****ing insomniac!
