Slightly Confused

Hi All,
Only posted he a couple of times, mostly a reader. Wanted to thank everyone who has posted, there is some really helpful advice being shared here. Anyway on to my question.
Started first cycle 3 weeks ago, 200mg of Equipose/week and 300mg of Test Cypionate /week. However for the third week I have increased the Test to 450mg. Here's where I get confused, aside from some weight loss I haven't noticed any real difference. In fact, I would go so far as to say my strength has gone down, mostly as a result of the weight loss (about 10-15 lbs.). Diet is in check, eating plenty of protein and good carbs for my size between 5 and 6 meals a day. I know these particular ingredients take a while to saturate into the body, but shouldn't I notice something by now. I did a cycle of tren about a year ago and within two weeks size and strength were noticeably increased (I know that a portion of the size was produced by water weight). I guess I was thinking I would see the same results from the test/equipose cycle. Am I just expecting to much to fast with this cycle? Thanks for any insight.

yes i think so.....you may not even feel the effects of the cyp for another few weeks and 200mgs of eq is practicaly useless so yea your expecting way too much seeing as though your first cycle was with tren possibly the most powerful of aas.....

Your test is just starting to kick in, and the dose is on the low side. There is no reason to ramp up the test, you would have been better off starting at 450 EW. EQ takes quite a while to kick in and like ghettoboyd said, 200 is a week dose.

You say you started your first cycle 3 weeks ago, but last year say you did a cycle of tren ?? So this is your 2nd cycle?

If your weight has gone down, you're in a calorie deficit. You won't gain muscle or feel the effect of AAS unless you're in a calorie surplus. Im currently cutting for a competition, on a healthy cutting cycle, and do not feel "on" because Im in a calorie deficit.
