Test E...slow as f-ck

[PistolPete76]

On my last cycle 2 years ago I did sustanon 500mg/week. I blew up like a damn balloon by week 3. I mean I didn’t have to stare at myself in the mirror wondering if I look bigger or not.

Right now I'm at the end of week 3. I'm doing 500mg test-e & 600mg Deca. I'm up 7lbs in weight, my max bench went from 225 to 285 (3) reps. I've seen some strength gains but I'm not ballooning out. I mean... on my traps made me look like a freak on sustanon within 2-3 weeks.

Do I need to just give it some time? Also its my first time doing deca, is the high dose of deca slowing things down somehow?

Give it more time, remember that enanthate is a longer ester while sustanon is composed of short, medium, and long esters, meaning that sustanon kicked in more quickly because it contains the propionate ester.

Deca isn't "slowing things down", but it is a long ester as well and will take a few more weeks to reach optimal blood concentration.

lol,
those gains are really good.
What are your starting stats?

Give it more time. I heard you won't see gains till week 6

You blew up within 3 weeks? That's a very short amount of time for that. And your bench has went up 60lbs. in 3 weeks? I wouldn't be complaining about that....But as Phate said, give it some more time.

The best is yet to come my friend.

As everyone said above you are doing fine and give it another week or two and you will be very happy.

Dude your bench went up 60lbs in 3 weeks!!!!! That is huge gains!!!! Be happy already bro.
