Started weeks 6...... was created by andre300
GDay gents
i started my 6th week of test e 600mg/week yesterday.
I've heard about some guys taking up to 8 weeks before the test kicks in, How common is this?
As i am getting worried.
In total im up about 4 kg's with BF unchanged and strength went up a bit. My diet was good, now all i do is eat everything in sight. What determines how long it takes for the test to kick in?
Am patient, but getting a bit worried. please advise

Why do you think it's not working ?
What were you expecting ?

Your weight gains are determined by how much food you are eating, the test will make you retain water (how much depends on your body).
How much strength have you gained ?

a mate of mine is all ready up 6 kg after 3 weeks. I am eating alot more than him.
The 4kg's i've gained might be water, but im not bloated at all. there is a lot more definition aroung my shoulders.
Strength increased by about 20%
This is my first time using test or any cycle for that matter, so maybe i expeted more from what ive heard.
how would i know if that 4 kg is water?

In short, the type of ester attached to the testosterone will determine how quick it's released into the body. You should'v used an oral like Dianabol to kickstart your cycle, if you were looking for quick gains. Test prop is also released much quicker than Test E, within 2-3days.

So what ur saying is that my test might still do some wonders.
I am thinking of extending the cycle by 4or 5 weeks.

Ye, run it for 10-12weeks. Don't think it would hurt. If u want to gain more weight, just eat more.

Ofcourse it is kicking in otherwise you wouldnt get those 4 kgs. Test e starts kicking in after 2 week but you peak only on about 4-5 th week and plus.Its fine do 8 weeks you should have good gains. I would not recomend 12 weeks for your first cycle though but thats entirely up to you. Make sure you monitor your testies and get a hold of some HCG for week 5 ++.

From what you are saying, it is working.
Remember that everybody reacts differently to Test.
If you want to gain more weight than just eat more (like mbov10 says).
You should be having between 1.5-2grams of protein per pound body weight (1kg=2.2lbs) and then good quality carbs.
Some guys use a 40/40/20 diet some do a 30/50/20 diet, it all depends your goals and your body.

IMO, you choose the right Test for your 1st cycle just remember that it takes time.

Well if your nuts have not shrun there is no point of you using HCG in the cycle

NO.

600mg a week is fine for your first cycle.

900mg is too excessive for a first cycle IMO. Rather extend the cycle to 12 weeks.

The Test only really starts to kick in at about week 6.

Rather chow more if you think you are not putting on enough weight.

A 20% increase in strength is still good.
Pay the price of discipline or pay the price of regret

Well No, that is why I recommended maintenance doses. Prevention is better than cure.
That is also why your nuts have not lost size, the HCG is counter acting that side of your body not production testosterone.

You can do it the other way around, but that way IMO causes more damage than maintenance dosing.

What is your mate using and moving to 900mg is way too high, 600mg is good.

Bro, you comparing Tren / test combo with just test?

That's like comparing Tribullus with Testosterone Enanthate, he is also running way more Test than you.

Up your carb in take, Test E is generally a mass compound and you should be consuming enough carbs to substantiate that.

No worries bud, that is why we are here ... to help.
I would say see how you feel after 12 weeks and decide from there.
14 weeks maybe pushing it IMO
