hi guys,

be forewarned this is most likely a very stupid question. I have started my first cycle as I got my hands on some test from a reliable source. I've researched very thoroughly PCT, dosages, AI's using search in this forum so I know I'm not doing anything obvious wrong.

My question -I've been on cycle for 2 weeks. Not sure if I am feeling anything yet - What should I be feeling? How do I know when it is "working"?

Thanks for any input.

Cheers

It's pretty subtle as it comes on. It's not like some sort of rush of energy like meth or something.

The scale will start going up.

Your weights will increase

Your workouts will go longer

Your recovery will improve

I start noticing how normal day to day activities become easier, grip strength goes up, etc.

Recovery gets much better, no real soreness to speak of.

You will know when you wake up at 4 am with a hurting boner

Hahahaha no shit forgot about that. Or when you try and roll over on to your stomach and almost break it off.

Or when you just banged your old lady and now you are in the shower cranking another one out while texting your side piece.

You did not give us any cycle details ... what your actually taking and for how long.

If taking test E or cyp ... you'll like start noticing you'll be getting extra reps or going heavier at week 6 or 7 (some people feel it earlier).

Just make sure diet is on point, your getting 8 hours of sleep, and making every scheduled workout ... you're likely only on 12 to 16 weeks ... make the most of it!

I'm in this camp.

Damn if I ever felt the last one.

Ya for me I felt it around week 5 and from there it just got better and better
but just keep in mind you got in in your body so remember that at the gym and go work your ass off and remember that in the kitchen and keep that diet on point and the rest will fall into place. Enjoy your first cycle it’s lifechanging

Your shirts are going to shrink and so will your balls.
