Evening gentlemen, I am a noob so be gentle. I am running my first cycle. (test e 400 mg/ml). before i go any farther my stats are 6' 2" before cycle weight was 192. age =38 on and off lifter since about 15 years old. I am six weeks into my cylcle now. I have noticed some strength gains and some gains in appetite and libido as well. one of my questions is whether or not the stuff i am taking is underdosed. by the way i have put on around 12 pounds of weight since and now weigh in at 204 ish in the morning. i have read in a lot of different forums about stuff being underdosed. i know i am not allowed to post where i got the stuff from. and not sure how to find out if it is a reputable place. anyway i am pretty sure it is real but not sure how strong the stuff is. i pin twice a week sunday and wed. 200 mg on those days. 1/2 a milliliter that is. also run adex .25 ml every other day. i think for peace of mind more than anything else. should i expect any stronger sides? ( acne etc...) from the test that is.. also could use some help with a diet regime. i eat as frequently and balanced as possible under my given circumstances. AND some tips on how much to work out would be greatly appreciated. as of now i work every group of muscles once a week. usually i can muster an hour a day in the gym about 5 days a week. if needed i can expound on this. thanx

What does a current average day look like for you for your diet. Include times you eat, what is eaten, and the maros please.

With the amount of arimidex you're taking (did you mean .25mg instead of ml?), I doubt you'll have to worry about sides being overly pronounced. You probably will see some acne eventually though. I'm not sure what you're "given circumstance" is, but 12 pounds in six weeks seems very weak for 400mg of test a week, which is probably why truedemon asked about your specific diet. If you could post that, we'd be able to draw some better conclusions here. Based on the limited info you provided regarding your workout regimen, it sounds like you're doing right, but the type of workouts you're performing are key. And as for your source, I'd be more concerned with the product manufacturer and the legitimacy of the label. If you want, feel free to private message me with the source and manufacturer and I'll help as much as I can in that aspect.

12 lbs in 6 weeks isnt bad imop.Beacuse test dont kick in until week 4 or 5 and other things like your diet and your genatic limit.But post your diet in the diet section with macros to see if you need help.
