Title: T and muscle growth
Post by: RomeoEcho on October 18, 2015, 04:07:21 AM
So, when do I get my super powers? :-)

Specifically, I've been working out since before starting, and I'm wondering at what point I'll see my efforts have more results due to T. I'm also curious, if you inject IM, does it matter if you inject right before or after working out?

Can't really say how fast you'll see results because I'm lazy and get my exercise from cycling to school and back but thinking with my logic I wouldn't considering getting a IM shot right before working out as it can make the muscle quite sore for a good while. I've had Sustanon injected into my thigh and I was limping for a couple days afterwards.

As important as T is what workout you do is even more important to give muscles the right stimulus to grow.  Also, muscle growth is slow for anyone.  You can build raw strength and power a whole lot faster with the right workouts.

If timing has any part, it is probably negligible at best. Though, I have noticed that I am significantly less sore after the fact if shot day is leg day. So now shot day is always leg day.

As far as results. T will give you more energy and make it easier for you to gain muscle. But the conditions have to be right. In addition to working out, your diet needs to be on point. My advice would be to start recording everything you're doing - take some measurements, track what you're eating and how you're working out. Numbers don't lie, and they can help you figure out where to focus your efforts.

Bodybuilding.com (http://bodybuilding.com) is a good resource if your goal is to get muscular.
