test enanthate(first time) - where did I go wrong?

Hi there,

I have recently taken a course of testosterone enanthate. My gym partner eventually helped me gather up the courage to atually start, I've had about three injections so far(3 weeks) and now have stopped for 2 weeks as I wnated to lay off it because I felt wierd.
after every jab, about 3 days later I would firstly get a big swollen ass, also it felt like I had the flu and I felt like tingly and I would get a constant throbbing/head rush kind of feel and on those day which normally lasted for 2 or 3 days I wasnt very amped for gym and felt weak.

In terms of my training i still trained hard and pushed heavy, I have felt a slight increase in strenght though but nothing hectic
Regarding my diet, I was eating extremley cleanly during the 3 weeks of the course and am still doing so now.

In general though, i have not seen a big difference in me, I went from 103kg the 1st week to 110kg and have now dropped back again to 104.
Should I carry on taking the remained of the course or will I be waising my time?
The test I got was PGW

Bud really.. How can you just spend money on something, INJECT it into yourself and only then ask what is going on?? Nonsense..

Anyway. Test flu is common, you gut it out up the vit c take a break if need be etc.. You need to wait till about week 5 to see the real potential of test E and you need a PCT after the 10-12 weeks to keep anything you have put on.

"extremely cleanly during the 3 weeks" means nothing as well. Diet should be a lifestyle going hand in hand with your training or you shouldn't be touching gear at all. As to how your gains will reflect wtr to diet, it is very calorie dependent.

To answer your final question, I wouldn't carry on with it until you know more. You could. But you need to do some homework.

good stuff.

Hi Chapel,

Thanks man
The thing is I really did do research befor I brought and also my gym partner has been taking various courses for log now so I suppose i kinda trusted him, I just thought I had to start somewhere so I went for it.
As for the eating part, ya I do follow a strict diet all the time and keep it clean

I will however do more homework on the matter

Like Chapol said, you wouldn't even have started feeling the gear properly yet.. End of the day forget strength, etc.. Steroids build muscle due to increased testoserone, lower catabolic effect in ones body and an extreme anabolic effect by protein sythesis.

Lets start off with, what type of gear was it, what was its mg to ml ratio, you may find your body doesn't like the high concentration, so you better of sticking with something like Sustanon 250mg or even adding EQ to your cycle, seems to always help with ones injection protocol.

You say you went from 103 kg's in the first week to 110kg's... I really hope you dont think you put 7kg's of muscle on in 1 week...???

Anyway, it seems alot more research is needed... Dont just rely on what your training partner says to you (Did he tell you about doing a PCT after the course?)... find out for yourself EXACTLY what you are putting in your body etc... There is a "drug profiles" section on the forum... have a look at that to read up on what you are taking and what to expect.

Regarding injecting... Do a search on the forum for injecting... as you shouldnt have a swollen bum from Test eth... sounds like you injecting too close to the center of the buttock.
