I am 31 and was put on 200 mg of Test - C per week and I also take Arimidex twice a week, .5 mg. Original test was 358 and e2 was around 40. My doc is liberal and also bumped up my Test to .8 cc a week, or 300 mg for my HRT. At 200 mg I was at 968 total test and free test was at the top of the range. He is cool with having my test level slightly higher, as he works in a bodybuiding gym.

I know all the risks, etc., as I am a nurse, so I'm really here to have some questions answered as far as when gains start to show up from an actual cycle (for those who have started a cycle dose after being on HRT). I've lurked this site for a few years and I've wanted to do my first cycle for a long time.

I've decided to blast and cruise, and have bumped my test up to 600 mg for 12 weeks. I've been on the 600 mg for 2.5 weeks now and I haven't really noticed any strength gain, libido jump or additional mass. When does this start to show up?

I posted this in the HRT section because I feel that those who have blasted and continue to cruise on their HRT will have the most experience with answering my questions. Plus, while reading these forums I've found the HRT guys to be much friendlier.
