Test Cyp and Deca Cycle

[foreverlifting]

Hey guys really looking for advice, and knowledge here, it means alot. This is my first cycle im on 2cc of deca and 2cc of cyp a week. 2 injections a week, deca is 200mg, cyp is 250mg. I got my gear from a good friend, i've known him for about 2 years, we've hung out a good amount of times. etc. pretty sure my gear's not fake is the point lol but who really knows lol. anyways, im 6 foot 3 and weigh exactly 200lbs HUGE ECTOMORPH BTW. I am SO STRICT on my diet, i've been eating AT LEAST 4500 calories a day, sometimes even up to 6000. Obviously this includes supplementation through protein shakes etc. Lots of protein too. i eat about 250g sometimes 300g and i dont really worry about carbs, i usually have plenty. im starting the 4th week of my deca and cyp cycle and seem to have not gained even 1 lb HOWEVER, i do look like i've dropped at least a percent of bodyfat i was at 12% now i seem around 10.5 or 11% and i feel as though i look slightly more muscular. Lastly, I was at least expecting to have gained water weight by now. and i've gained a little strength but it could be arguably done naturally. The real question i have and thanks again so much is... 1) is my gear bunk? 2) when should i see weight gains? 3) when will i see somewhat aggressive strength gains? Thanks again guys, means alot, first time posting on a forum, so let me know the proper forum etiquette if i didn't follow a certain rule etc. accidentally!

Welcome to the community foreverlifing!

So you're on 400mg/wk deca and 500mg/wk test C.

To answer your questions, it could take up to 4 weeks for you to notice any significant weight or strength gains from the compounds you're running. You're gear could very well be underdosed. Typically, you should start seeing gains at this point in your cycle if your diet and training routine is in check, which you say it is.

Continue on your high cal diet and train away. Hopefully you will begin to see some gains anytime now, if not, it may be safe to assume your gear is fake or underdosed. Are you running an AI and do you have PCT lined up?
