Mid way through cycle and gaines stopped....

[tbjake34]

Ok so I am on wk 6 of my 10 wk cycle of test e @ 500mg/wk. I ran drol for the first 4 wks and gained about 12 lbs then when i stopped running the drol at wk 4 my gaines stopped and I have actually lost about 3lbs.. What is going on???

You've lost water from the drol, and your test hasn't kicked in yet. Don't worry until ur at week 8 and nothing has happened.

Test should have definitely kicked in by week 6. It's kicks in with me at week 2-3 and of anyone I know on the longer side it may take 4-5 weeks max.

Have you noticed any body composition changes or strength increases at all or have they come to a halt as well?

I have had no strenght gains at all... On my last test cycle it kicked in at about wk 3...

I usualy plateau by week 6. Sometime test e can take up to 7 weeks to really kick in.

If that's the situation I would probably start questioning the legitimacy of your gear. I experience pretty much the exact same time frame as far as compounds kicking everytime I use them.

Is it the same test that you used last time?

How is your calorie intake? Are you eating more?

If you are talking about same UGL then no. But yes last time I used enethate and I am using that this time.

Well i was eating a lot when I was on drol. But I have lost some appetite so I am getting at the most 4k cals a day.

[tbjake34]

Do you guys think it could be cause I missed an injection? I missed one on about wk 4 or 3.

If your not eating as much that could possibly be part of the reason...as your adding new muscle and size to you, you need more calories to continue growing...for example...if 4,000 calories were helping you gain when you weigh 200, then you gain and weigh 210, then it will take added calories just to maintain...so your diet may be part of the problem there...also could be bunk test...

I know my diet is holding me back but I dont think its that bad to the point where I cant even gain a pound.. I got sick last wk and had no appetite for about 3 or 4 days, I am just getting my appetite back now. I dont think my gear is bunk, I orderd orals from this guy and they worked great. Well I think I will give it a few more wks and if I dont make any gains i will contact my supplier.. Thanks for the responses guys.

ur transitioning from drol/test to just test.. of course they are going to appear to stall out.

[farrebarre]

ive done 2 cycles and both of them my test kicked in about week 6-7, i ran a 14 week cycle. dont worry mate, you will get plenty of gains

Exactly, now your going to have to spike your training and diet to keep gaining, dont just rely on the AS.

Very true

dont go to crazy with the diet IMO...

I see some people just go overboard and gain too much fat because they are trying to build muscle consistantly over the entire cycle - typically wont happen (I also feel this is why short cycle are pretty popular with a good amount of folks).

You will of course build the most muscle in the beginning of your cycle (especially with drol). I would say recheck your diet and make sure that the cals you are eating are sufficient - if so I would change up the training routine. That what I do every 4-5 weeks to keep my small natural gains going most of the year. Work out with someone that will show you some new stuff and tear the tissue in a way you are not used to... should do some magic.
