you may be right, I did pretty much reach my natural potential with size and strength pre cycle. in that case, it may make sense that im only putting on 5 pounds also taking into consideration i have no bloat or water weight... i guess i really wont know if this gear was real or fake until i start my next cycle and see if there is a difference in gains, general wellness, or strength, because nothing changed with this cycle which still makes me believe its bunk. i feel i should have at least had a raging sex drive or just a general increase in well being

thanks for your input though definitely got me thinking
