Bro, only 2 weeks in. These are not magic hormones. There is a reason we run them longer than a couple weeks, especially with long esters. After a 12 week cycle, if you are able to add a few extra pounds of lean muscle, that is a success. Not sure what you were expecting. You won't even have...
I like the planned next cycle brother. I am interested to see if you notice a difference between ramping test up vs just starting and staying at 500mg throughout.
I would run the var at 40-60mg per day but would cut the test down to 200mg/week. Lower test will keep the bloat down which is ideal for cutting and seeing progress. Obviously diet is the most important when cutting.
