I’ve been on my first trip to the dark side for 4 weeks come Friday…I’ve been taking Test 450, 450 mg every 5th day, and plan on running for 8 weeks…Being my first cycle I’m just testing myself to see my reaction and taking it easy and go from there…Today I started feeling sick, fever, chills, slight cough and a little nausea…I’d read that if you had flu like symptoms that you may have bad gear, but I’m wanting to know would it take 4 weeks for you to start getting these symptoms?
In addition, the person I live with works in a medical clinic and the weather here has been going from warm to snow to back to warm the last couple of weeks…I’ve put on 17 lbs in just under 4 weeks, so I’ve had great gains, but am wondering if I am over reacting and just getting sick or if I have bad gear and should cut my cycle short…Any thoughts?
There’s no way to know for sure but 17lbs in 4 weeks is probably a good sign. Unless you were emaciated to begin with. The seasons are changing, probably just a cold.
Ok thanks man…I was figuring the same thing, but you’re always a bit paranoid on the first go around…I started at 190lbs 11% bf at 5’10", and am now just over 207

Mostly muscle I would say, but there is some bloating and some fat, but I can still see all of my abs…I’ve been eating really clean and getting lots of rest, but I’ve also been taking Super Mass weight gainer that has crazy carbs, so I’m gonna be cutting that soon
The flu-like symptoms are normally not from bad gear - the fever is from high levels of androgens in your body (For example, I get a fever it if I take more than 200 mg/day of prop in a single dose). Im with DOHC, split up the injections to EOD or E3D and the fever should go away.

I also concur with the increased frequency recommendation. You say you’re on Test450, what exactly is that in terms of its mixture? Is it a blend and if so what esters are in it? That will go a long way to finding out what your injection frequency should be.
