3 Weeks into my cycle question

[NormalDude]

I am currently doing a 12 week cycle


Week 1-12:

Primobolan Depot 300mg 2xWeek,
Test E 250mg 2xWeek,
Arimidex 0.25mg EOD,

Week 3-12:
HCG 250 i.u. 2xWeek

Other than strength gains I have not been feeling anything else. I havent been extra horny thinking even fat chicks are sexy. I have not had any short temper issues and I feel like I look the same. Is it possible the strength gain is in my head and I have bunk gear? I am going for a blood test in a month. I did have full blood work done as a baseline so I will compare. is it just me or what?

[marcus300]

It normally takes around 5 weeks to start feeling the effects of test e,
the primo isn't any good for strength,
yes you could have bunk gear if you bought UGL,
are you training right?
are you eating correctly?
are you motivated? how long have you been off cycle?

[NormalDude]

My fault I could have put more info.

are you training right?

So I train 6 days a week working out each muscle group. I also do cardio for 50 minutes after weights.

are you eating correctly?

I am using this as a cutting cycle my diet is right about 2000 calories with 205 grams of protein and under 40 grams of fat.

are you motivated?

I am motivated. I dont miss workouts. I go full when I do workout. I am assuming thats what you mean by motivated?

how long have you been off cycle?

Technically this is my second cycle but my first one was 10 years ago. Ago a friend is doing the exact same cycle and he claims to feel the different emotions and horny with chicks.

[lovbyts]

Your friend is probably feeling the typical placebo effect. Give it another week or two to kick in. Not everyone gets the same feelings such as being horny all the time. Some people are like this normally and you know how to control it so it's not a big surprise when it happens on cycle.

If you are getting strength gains then that is what you are really looking for, right? Keep doing what you are doing and at the end of 12 weeks hopefully you have made some good gains.

What's your stats? Only 2000 cals seems low, if your training hard and 6 times a week. Height weight age?

Also check e2 mid cycle. You may be responding differently then him, if your e2 is out of wack you won't get the horny side effects

I am 6' 200lbs. The reason I am on low calories is because over the last year I dropped 50 pounds following this diet. I adjusted for more protein but it seemed to work very good for me as opposed to starting with maintenance calories and subtracting 100 callories a week until I drop weight.

Is e2 some thing I have to ask for in particular when they do a blood test?

If the only thing that happened to me on cycle was strength gain / muscle gain I would cycle for the rest of my life.

Why do you want a short temper and all these other things? I'm wondering if that is a joke. It's like you're asking to have side effects so you can have the full "steroid experience " or something ...doesn't make sense to me.

Ok well that diet was good for losing weight, now that you are cycling its time to change that diet a little. While on gear you utilize cals more efficient. 6' 200lbs work out 6 times/week with cardio 50min 6 times/ week, your TDEE is well above 3000 cals. I would say that a 1000cals+ deficit is to much. The whole point to cycle is to go muscle, you can't grow with out food. I would up protein to 250g add a banana going in to gym and coming out, also add some more good fats. 40g fats is pretty low.

You are misunderstanding. It is not that I want those things. I am just asking the opinion of experienced users as to when these things happens so I can determine if I had bunk gear or not.

I am looking at adding to my diet. I do supplement with triple omegas to have plenty of good fat
