Did I mess up?

Hi Guys

Well I am still on my first cycle of Test E only @ 600mg per week, I am on week 9 now.
I gained 8 Kg (will still have to see how much I keep...)

Now I have gained 8 kg but size hasn't really gone up that much, strength has gone up allot (example: squats where at 120kg and is now @ 150kg, not counting bar and weight is for 3 sets of 6- and I got thicker everywhere, got very hard and lost a bit of body fat.
my weight now is 85Kg
Is it just genetics or did I mess it up? :S

I really don't know why you are so unhappy? If you got thicker, then you grew... I guess you will only have to cut down and loose the water and you will notice the difference immediately.

Best would be to ask someone that have not seen you recently if they notice a change...

will do that, i see myself every day, still have to take after photos...
I am happy with the gains, just expected more size...

If I remember correctly I also didn't notice much during my first cycle. It was only after PCT that I became satisfied.

What brand did you use?

I used pgw

ummm just a question,if you've traded muscle for body fat and still gained 8kgs and gotten thicker and more muscular then ummm why arent you happy?... think of it as this,take 10kgs of butter, and rub it all over your body,u will get a full body layer of about 2-3mm all over your body, so it will not look that significant but you will notice it! but once you have added another 8kgs thats 6mm all over the skin and that will look much much bigger...get what i am saying? dont be worried about the scale,worry about how big you look,if you've grown then u have done everything right!

okay, well after dropping the water i see what I am left with. I never thought water retention could make such a big difference, 4weeks of my cycle now , didn't really lose strength, everything is just a bit harder to lift... i am very happy with the results! thanks for all the help and motivation. good luck to you all!

I'm glad you doing well, those first 4 weeks are always the most difficult. Try as hard as you can to live a lifestyle you would on a cycle now that you are off. Get your body running at optimal performance. Then by the next time you do a cycle you will grow so much more again. Don't do long extended cycles, the sooner you add harsh compounds the sooner you making things more difficult for yourself. Stick to basics, some believe seasonal bodybuilders don't need to take anything other than testosterone.
