    Testosterone Enanthate not kicking in!

    I am currently at the end of my 4th week of Test E (first cycle). The issue is that I have not experienced any strength increases yet. Libido seems very high but could be a placebo. No testicular atrophy though I am almost 100% sure that my gear is legit. Does the strength boost typically happen overnight or does it gradually increase.

    Also, could lack of diet hinder strength gains (not size gains)? My diet is spot it but perhaps I'm not eating enough.

    most people just starts seeing there gains on the 4th week, it's not gonna come and jump and kick you in the face, you will just feel that the weights are lighter and you can push for more, but sometimes it can take up to 5-6 weeks to even start seeing it. and testicular atrophy I only notice like 2 months in normally, and if your libido is very high that can be a sign that your test levels are starting to raise

    Any change in weight? Strength?

    It's still early and for some men it can take up to 6wks before any felt or visual gains are noticeable.

    Sounds like you know your diet is lacking. You won`t gain strength if you aren't eating enough.

    Nothing at all. Only slight libidio increase. No acne or anything.

    Give it another wk or so. Be patient. You may be one of those guys that require a bit longer for your serum levels to rise.

    Like mentioned, make sure diet is in check and give it another week or so. But if by week 6 you aren't noticing anything then your gear is probably bunk.

    I should also mention that when I first got my gear it was crashed badly. Crashes slightly from time to time(little crystals on the wall of vial). Does this mean that I at least have testosterone in the oil?

    Test e

    I ran test E at 300 to 700mg a week for 12 weeks. My gear was g2g and I really felt it kick in around the 4th or 5th week. I was squatting like a beast lol! Strength levels and intensity were very high. My sides sucked though. I was getting a ****ing migraine every week lol! Maybe from the water retention or increased stress level idk??? Also had some mild acne post cycle but eventually went away with clean diet and lots of water. I really liked the cycle though for my first one...hope yours gets better bro, give it another week or two if you don't notice anything positive then it may be bunk gear! And eat like a horse!

    tell me your stats, then tell me your diet.

    Nothing is going to happen at all besides your nuts shrinking getting shut down unless you are eating in a calorie surplus or deficit. if your libido is up then your test levels are prolly up.

    also your 100% sure then id give it 1 more week and i will tell you straight up : If you dont think your eating enough then you have no idea what your calories are and you are not eating enough. i would place money on this is your problem


    i see your 160lbs at 5%

    also is says your age is 18 but also says your age is 27???
