Bunk test or in my head?!

[verino]

ok guys im starting to wonder if the test is even working or it was just in my head.

I was lifting very hard for 2 years and i was 245lbs at 13%bf. then i stopped cold turkey from the gym for 8 whole months due to zero time to lift. So i then was around 200lbs! lost everything.

i started lifting again about 3-4 months ago and im starting to think and people are telling me its not the test its just muscle memory and im gaining my weight and strength back that i had. Cause i have been going up in weight and strength since i started back at the gym and now i have been stuck at 230-233lbs for the last 2-3 weeks.

With test you are supposed to be gaining strength and weight every week right?? Next monday is week 9 of my test e cycle at 750mg/week. What do you guys think? BTW my diet is in check 450g protien/day 4500-5000cals/day.

Any help would be great!

You don't always have to get stronger and sometimes you won't gain WEIGHT on the scale, but you will gain weight. What I am saying is you might lose fat while gaining muscle or lose water weight and gain muscle in its place.

I think doing a cycle right away was a bad idea because your body was going to grow alot just because it hasn't worked out in a while and plus like you said muscle memory is playing its part so this cycle was kind of worthless.

Personally I would have waited 6 months after first starting to workout again to cycle. Also you are nearing the end of your test cycle (I assume your going 12 weeks) so the weight fluctuation and strength fluctuation won't be that much as the body is becoming more consistent at adapting to high test levels.

He's gained 30+lbs, I assume its working, some people expect to gain like 40-50lbs on a cycle as if steroids are magically gene transmitters.

im sure it is working but.. i didnt feel the way alot of other people are saying they feel by the 4th week. i didnt feel any different in the gym. I am always tired and my sex drive isnt up any just the same. Im sure it worked to a degree but it was most likely underdosed like crazy then.

Yes its a 12 week cycle. haha no i didnt plan on gaining 40-50 pounds i know it doesnt work like that.
