test kicking in late?

[TUnit]

Im currently ending week 7 of a test cyp 750mg/wk, and eq 600mg/wk. Ive put on about 8-10 pounds so far and have had some strength gains...like it just went up quite a bit in 3 weeks and now I havent seen anything too crazy, nor have I gotten any crazy pumps, or super horny like I remember in past cycles. Im 30 years old and havent cycled in about 6 years, but my family has started noticing im getting bigger. Are my expectations probably just high or does it sometimes take people longer to kick in?

A lot of things could be contributing to your late start. Maybe your test is slightly underdosed and your Eq isn't - hence the underwhelming libido. Cyp is obviously a longer-ester but shouldn't be much different than Enan. But if you have put on 10lbs (likely water weight for the most part), something is happening. I've ran Eq a couple of times and, although everyone is different, I still had some increase in libido from the test I was on and I always ran it fairly close to my test dosage (in terms of mgs).

Seeing as though you have experience cycling, you could decide whether to scale back on the Eq (safe route) or crank up the Cyp (the other route ) Nothing will ever bring back that first cycle feeling, but you should be noticing it pretty clearly at 750/week.

Sorry for not adding anything super-definitive... I just wanted to chime in because I see threads getting replies that (in my opinion) don't deserve any responses and threads like these going un-replied to. Oh, and I am guilty for contributing to said threads...

I don't get anything out of long esters till week 8. It is what it is. Everyone is different.

Yea for me I don't see noticeable results till around week 7

That was my main concern, the test being underdosed or being bunk...however I got it from a reputable source. Its been a long time since I cycled and maybe I'm just getting impatient. I figured the eq was weak enough to dose close to the test without having any problems. I'm running this cycle 16 weeks so I still have almost half of it left so ill see how these next few weeks go

I'm 6'1, 232lbs right now. Was 222 before. I did quite a few cycles in my early 20s and kinda took a break from it. Still been working out...just laid off the juice. I've used test, deca, tren, prop, and eq. This is my first time with cypionate. I've always used enanthate

Body fat%?

I guess ya learn something new everyday... Seems a few people here don't notice Cyp results until 7 or even 8 weeks. I notice Enan in 3 and the 2 times I have tried cyp, I remember it being not too long after that.

Good to know though. I haven't been on this board for a while... Wife had a baby, making moves in my career, etc. I will be on more now here and there as I am about to blast.

Not sure on bf%...if I had to guess I'd say 15-18%. Probably lower now as I've leaned up a bit. As JDB said there has to be something going on since I've put on 10 pounds so I don't think its bunk. Its just the pumps, libido, and strength haven't soared as much as I thought

Thanks for the replies bros...appreciate it!

There are many factors to measure,,,DIET is typically a HUGE factor for slow gains.
