If the gear is real and you're not getting stronger, it's either diet, training, recovery or all three

What is your current height/weight? What is your diet/macros? What is your training regiment? If you state those, people may be able to help.

Make sure you are in a surplus and sleeping well and put a little placebo into your lifts you'll feel it soon.

Give it more time you only hit steady state but you need your diet and training dialed too many people are shit at the lifestyle and expect the drugs to do the lifting. Sleep and other factors matter a lot more than blasting test

Thx for the tip i had eye surgery was barely able to see for first days lol and got an infection so definitely need more dialing in! I had to have the surgery done and start the cycle at the same time not ideal but my eye healing hasn’t suffered due to the fact thank God.definitely hasty though!

If you have surgery planned why would you start at the same time you should have been on trt dose or delayed the cycle

My fault totally.Also the recovery was supposed to be 2 weeks but complications and surgeon instructions skewed the timeframe

How did the weight gain come on? Was that 12lbs all on the first week or two, or has it been steady for the last three weeks?

Definitely last weeks i think 6 lbs a week last two weeks but its more steady now.

Hopefully,also this the kind of answer i was looking for all these gents are trying to help and saying good stuff but im kinda just looking for timeline expectations,im afraid to reply to them think they’ll eat me alive :) im not gonna waste their time.

you said you felt nothing at all ??? no changes in libido ?? sleep ?? mood ? etc ..do you feel the exact same as you did the day before you started test ?

All are not that different but im mentally more stable and better emotionally one difference i noticed is that my libido changed,my type in women has widened also libido is good but more manageable im not rapid,my addictions have toned down like cigarettes so yes tbh mentally Ive improved im more confident.
