I'm glad to hear your first cycle has gone over well...even though it was very short. I read through this thread just now and this is my take.
You said that you've been eating a lot more than normal and training harder. You made some good gains in the past month and that's great, but there is no way that your cycle is what caused this.
Deca, it can take up to at least 4wks to start noticing anything from it, probably a little longer to really start benefiting from it. Long estered test, it can take awhile too to really get the full effect. Not as long as deca but it takes time. If you're using real legitimate human grade test, then you would definitely notice some things after a few days to a wk...you'd feel better, that's the most obvious.
Bro, from the sound of it, and there's nothing wrong with this at all, your past month has been good because you trained your ass off and ate plenty of calories.
Something to keep in mind, just because you take steroids does not mean you're going to "blow up." Think about it, every bodybuilder on the planet takes steroids while they're leaning out for competition. They're getting smaller, not bigger.
You can get as big as you like or pack on just a little with any cycle...when I say "as big as you like" obviously we're staying within the realm of reality.
Anyway, I don't know if anything I just said is worth a hill of beans to you or not, this is simply I how see it and figured I'd share my thoughts.
Arnold jr Out!!!
