Fifth week results meh!

[Braveone]

I'm in the fifth week of a test only cycle. (350mg/ml) at 250mg twice a week. Diet is good 32-3500 calories a day (240gm + protein). Training hard (getting ready for a bench meet in Aug) stats, 53 yrs old, 5'7", starting weight 174lbs. Competitive bencher with 25 yrs lifting experience. First pinning cycle (ph's once before) I'm only up to 179. Strength is up some and I'm hornier but no bloat and I don't see 20lbs happening this trip. I just added a weightgainer to bump the calories up even more. I mean even on a half ass diet I would expect better results or at least more water weight. I read if you're wondering if your test is good or not. Its probably not. FML should I be concerned or just more patient? I have Stane and adex on hand (haven't needed it) and all pct in house. I'm also running hcg at 250mg twice a week. Thanks guys

Test E/C takes a while to do its thing... By itself I dont start showing results till week 6-7. Also, its dosed at 350mg/ml? Hum... Possible bunk... Should post in the pictures section for identification

So if you're only on a 10 week cycle, you will only see small results for 3 weeks? That's a bummer

[ACE5HIGH]

Its really the last 4-5 weeks that will show the results of the full cycle, just because you cant see results at week 3-4 doesnt mean its not doing its thing. It will catch up to you prob around week 5-6, but everyone responds different.

On the otherhand some put on 10-15lbs there first 4 weeks... Just not me

the longer acting esthers take longer for blood plasma levels to level off, and longer for you to see results.

i was up 10lbs within the first 3-4 weeks of my cycle of test and deca but didnt feel the strength until like week 6. give it a lil mor time. good luck

test only is overrated imo, since you know how you react to test only, try adding some dbol in the last 4 weeks

Doesn't mean its bunk. I have test at 250, 300, 350, 400, 500.
I wouldn't dream of using the 500 or 400, its good for storage and cutting with gso but straight it would be a killer.

At 53, have you considered TRT mate ?

[Braveone]

Yea, but my doctor thinks I'm too big lol. According to him I wouldn't keep growing if I had low test.

[anadroljack]

long esters is a waiting game,but good results.

[Bonaparte]

I notice solid gains on Test E only after 3 weeks.
I think your stuff sounds underdosed.

[Braveone]

Yea my thought too. My buddy is running the same thing with the same lackluster results. This is a learning game I've come to realize. I've got two bottles of hdrol left over I'm gonna run that as long as I got SOME test in my system for 6 weeks or so up to my meet. I KNOW that works lol.

[binsser]

I havent noticed anything till now and its been 5 weeks bud some dont see anything till 7 dosent mean its underdosed at all really it just takes longer for others and its down to what you do on it as well bud!

[funkymonk]

You eating enough bro?

[Braveone]

Yea I'm hitting the calories pretty good. With a weightgainer I'm probably getting 3400 a day. A lot of days more. Training hard 4-5 days a week. I appreciated all the feed back guys. Just gotta be patient and keep keeping on. If nothing else its been good to learn more from the boards and finding places to get everything you need to cycle. Whatever does or doesn't happen there'll be another cycle down the road.
