Week 6 of test cyp

[beans14]

Hey guys, so tomorrow starts my 6th week of test C at 500mg/week and so far I'm up about 6lbs. The very first week I did take dbol at 30mg/day but stopped because of the headaches I was getting within an hour of taking it and the loss of appetite. I understand that being up 6lbs should be a sign of the test doing its job but I guess I expected more of a "feeling" I guess. I really can't tell if its working, I don't feel anymore strength. Should I up my dose to 600mg or 750 per week? Should I Waite it out at 500 and give it more time? Thanks

Is this your first cycle? Your diet will determine more of your weight gain, are you eating properly?

I would wait at least another week or 2. There is no reason to up your dosage.

I get impatient with long esters, Test E doesn't seem to hit me noticeably until about week 7-8.

[beans14]

I am eating properly and find I'm eating to the point where I can't eat no more. Appetite seems to have gone up also.
I should have added that I did front load the test on week 1. I haven't even noticed my boys shrink at all, not that I'm complaining about it.

[beans14]

It is my first cycle by the way.
I am getting impatient, wish I would have went with prop instead. I've been tempted to try the dbol again but then I would never know what is doing the work.

[beans14]

This was originally planned to be a 12 week cycle under the impression that it would be kicking in by week 5. Would their be need to extend that to say 15 weeks if I don't notice anything till say week 8 then?

Stay with the dose and the plan as set. You should be see strength and weight going up any day and for over the next 7 weeks. Be patient!

[JohnnnyBlazzze]

Are you confident that your source is legit?

I wouldn't go past 14 weeks. You don't want to be shut down for that long on your first run. Just be aware of how you react to the long ester and now you have experience if you were to ever try another cycle. Just be patient and give it a few more weeks.

I have done long ester cycles where I frontloaded and didn't frontload, I have to say, I didn't notice much of a difference.

[beans14]

Ok thanks for the reassurance ill stick with the original plan of 12 weeks @ 500mg. Guess Im just expecting to wake up one morning in a euphoric state pushing an extra 45lbs. Unrealistic I know.

[beans14]

My source is a good friend. However he doesn't make it so maybe it could just be under dosed. Only one way to find out

[marcus300]

There was no need to frontload your first cycle. When your fresh to test letting it build up is a better option, do it slowly and adjust diet as you go along. Stick to your cycle plan and don't up the dose, if your seek further gains up the calories. Best of luck

I was in week 7 before I hit the point where I said "wow, this is really kicking in."

marcus300, that is a GREAT avatar.

Bean, Beans, Beans...where ya been buddy lol? Stick with the plan my friend! Ppl WAAAAYYY overexaggerate the "feelin"! I judge by labido mainly and a slight overall better feeling. I do not feel like my skin is stretching and I am turning green however.

6lbs in the first six weeks and remember the best is just starting!

[beans14]

Thanks guys. I only front loaded because I couldn't find a good reason not too after reading tread after thread. Won't be doing that next time though because it seems like it only wasted gear. I've been around Lunk, just been doing a lot more reading than posting. So much to learn. What you described is kind of what I expected to feel, hahaha. You know it's unrealistic but I think everyone still thinks its going to happen

[Lunk1]

Shyt load to read and learn, your sooo right. Best of luck Beans!

[beans14]

My friend said it would be around week 7 that i would really start to notice it also, so here's to waiting. I think I'll probably run with prop next time though, my patience are getting the best me.
Does anyone know why I can only write about two paragraphs on the iPhone app? After that I can still write but it won't display.

Slow steady gains tend to stay longer...just a thought!

Great? In an interesting pathological way maybe. Marcus is not well..(lol)

[songdog]

Has your libdo increased?

[beans14]

That's always been fairly high so it's hard to judge. But if I had to guess I would say very little change.

[beans14]

All that I can really notice the the increased weight thus far

Have the same issue bro it is really irritating, hopefully a bug fix in an upcoming update. For now I just highlight cut the previous and paste after I finish my post. It's a bit of a pain but it works and avoids posting several times

I am just as far into my cycle as you are And loaded with a bombs @50mg a day. I am 178 up to 192 and 235 up to 255 on bench as of my chest routine today. You know if you are running good high quality gear?

[a_bower]

First cycle i did was 10wks Test C 500mg/wk split into 2 shots Tuesday and Friday.
I didnt notice anything until week 6-7.
I only gained 1kg of weight but lost about 5% bodyfat, gaining a total of 6kg of lean muscle. So intitially i though damn only 1kg! but didnt work this ratio out until later on lol.
So just remember that you could be burning BF% like crazy.
I really regret not extending my cycle by another 2-4 weeks, i think 14 weeks is fine.
IMO - I would reccomend HCG from week 10 - 14 and during PCT. Also grab yourself a testosterone recovery stack to use during PCT, do a search online and youll see one - they work very well. You can use an Anti-e if you notice any sides during or post cycle, personal preference.
Dose Clomid at no more than 50/day during PCT.

Just my 2c

Blood work time.

[beans14]

I think it's hard to determine if your gear is legit or not until the cycle is over. Was thinking about going to get blood work done when I get home to determine one way or another. What will a doc say if bliss work comes back and test is way up there?

[beans14]

Has anyone else experienced headaches and loss of appetite while on Dbol? It's only because of those reasons I stopped after one week. I have also been at 12.5mg/ eod aromasin

[paul606]

For reference, I'm 7 1/2 weeks into my first cycle of test e and I'm only just starting to really notice the effects, hang in there

[beans14]

Glad to see I'm not then only one who hasn't began seeing change by week 6
