If you did a front load injection of 750mg of Test E, how soon would you feel/see the affect? I did it on Tuesday and feel nothing.
The injection area went a little red for a 1" diameter and lightly pink in for a 5" oval around the injection site. It also hurt somewhat bad, but now the pain is subsiding a lot and the red and pink is getting more and more light. There is minor swelling. It is not noticeable swelling and I can’t feel any hard spots. Would you go to the doctor or give it more time?
This is my first time ever injecting. I have another injection tomorrow and am thinking maybe I got bunk gear. Just looking for some feedback from experienced users.
Where did you inject? Delts for instance, apparently don’t release the substance into your system as quickly as say, gluteal.
Having pinned on Tuesday, it’s a little early to tell yet with such a long ester. I’d wait about two weeks to know for sure. After about that time, you’d definitely know if test E is working.
As for the discolouration and pain, never had any with test E myself.
I was under the assumption that with a front load, the effect was very fast. [/quote]
What effects are you talking about?
Muscle building? I hope not. The changes that need to be made on a cellular level to increase protein synthesis take much longer than a few days.
You may begin to notice an increase in libido, oily skin, and work capacity after a week or two though.
You are confused with the terminology. Frontloading will get blood concentrations of the drug to peak level very fast. But it still takes the same amount of time to see muscle building effects at that peak level. Have patience.

Hey Rob, I wouldn’t be worried.
Being that this is your first time, it is fairly typical to have a site reaction as you mentioned. I got one the first time I ever injected Tri’s, it looked like a 5" circle (raspberry) on my arm. It subsided after a few days and all was well. It would have little to do with gear being bunk, and more to do with your body reacting in a WTF is this manner.
I have also had two friends experience the same thing on their first cycles.
As far as frontloading and feeling the “effects” goes. Bonez is right on the money, AAS don’t give you a buzz. But at the level you frontloaded you should expect to have a sore arse, random erections, feel like you want to stick it in everything that moves within about 3-4 days. You volume of training is also going to increase. And your recovery time will be quite fast. You will know, but it’s not like a recreational drug where you physically KNOW by hallucinating, tingling, synapsis, etc…

What? No. You dont feel anything right away. All I noticed was increased libido. Thats it. Without seeing exactly what you did I’m saying give it more time. Its ultimately your call. You might have rat fucked the injection (example: unsteady hand with the injection process) and are just bruised up a bit. I hope youre running an AI as well.
I really do appreciate the responses. They have eased my mind considerably. It was my first injection and my hand was not very steady so the needle was moving in and out a little. But after it did turn red and pink and swelled a little, so I was a little worried.
This being my first time, you could probably understand how easy it it is to get worried about thing you have never had happen before. So I will give it a few weeks and see what happens.
Yes I am running an AI. My cycle is pretty simple to be honest…8 weeks of Test E e3d with plenty of Adex on hand, starting at .25mg a day. Typical Nolva PCT.
You dont have much to worry about. If I am frontloading I do more than one injection for 3ml to make it easier on me. Your pain is probably from your shakey hands when you injected it and tore your muscle fibers a good bit. As for the discoloring… Id expect it if it was a single 3ml injection for your very first injection. And as for you not feeling anything yet thatd be because you shouldnt yet. Itll take a good 1.5 weeks+ before its fully in your system.
I think it did just tear my muscle fibers, cause I am completely healed now. What a relief, I was stressing it. My second injection I did in my ventro gluteal, it was painless and easy.
I am guessing it is common for your muscles to get sore for a day after the injection if it is a virgin muscle, cause they get pretty sore.
it could be 4-6 weeks before u start having visible signs and even then its depending u did everything else right ,the eating ,sleeping and trainig all hav to be kept in line to get it to work
so many people think they should “feel” stronger as soon as the pull out the needle but unfortunately its just not the case
