4 1/2 weeks into first cycle test e, feel no different

400mg of total gear is less that most of our cruises, bridges, or “HRT”. You’re not going to see any magic from it. What you should see is some increased fullness, a small increase in Strength and muscular endurance, and you’ll get to gauge your body’s response to hormone fluctuation as well as your sensitivity to increased estrogen and androgen. The good thing about low dose cycles is that they aren’t beating your body up so you can essentially stay on them forever. You may not see anything in 5 weeks. You may not in 8 weeks. You’ll probably notice the difference by 12 weeks. By weeks 16-20 you’re going to notice that you’re recovering faster, you’re progressing faster, you’re not hitting plateaus. It’s not magic by any means. It’s not like putting a supercharger on your car. It’s more like changing the tune in your car from “economy” to “light performance”.

Take advantage of your new found bonus. Keep your diet on point, and train hard. You’ll get there.

Yes I'm sure 400mg is relatively low dose to alot of the vets here. But bearing in mind this is my first cycle. The cycle results section is full of first cycles making 15+lbs of gains from 400mg or less. But as Test Monsterone said he needed to up his dose to 800mg to get the benefits and this was my case with Sarms also. I guess it just proves some are hyper responders to low doses and others need to double down on the dose for the same return. I only have enough test for 12weeks, I could consider extending to 16 but I think its better to stick to 12 weeks, do proper pct and revisit my strategy towards the end of the year. Still early days so will wait to see how I respond in the second half of this cycle.

If you want to grow then you shouldn't have cut your calories.
You should have increased your calories.
You cannot create matter from nothing. It's physics.
Sure you may hold some water but to actually grow tissue you need energy.

Also being that you just did a rad-140 and LGD cycle I wouldn't consider this your first cycle.
I've never done either but LGD is supposedly pretty strong.

Good catch on the calories.
This is no time to back off. Especially on carbs. Your body is much more efficient with carbohydrates on cycle.

Roger that. I'll head on over to the diet section. I'm certainly not treating this like a cut, basically maintenance calories at 3300cal. Easy for me to eat more just don't want to get fat at all costs.

Just realize that if anything, being on cycle will raise your metablosim.
(Think about guys talking about being hot and sweaty, and oily, and the body producing more RBC.... this all takes energy as in calories.)

So you may need to raise calories simply because you are on cycle.

It is very common for guys to complain about not being able to grow but meanwhile they don't eat enough.
You have to eat big to be big.
