Strength yes somewhat, Couple minor injuries have forced me to do more volume, but gains size wise actually. I used measuring tape to check all muscle groups Size to compare back to later. End of week 3 I gained anywhere from 1/2 - 2 inches of size depending on the muscle & I’ve been cutting in a deficit for awhile surprisingly.
I personally would’ve waited for a gym man, I know it’s tough when your itching to start, lol. I had my cycle ready too & also had to wait a few extra weeks to start for personal reasons. But Hey, you only get 1 first cycle to do it right, I want my diet and training to be as efficient as possible, it’ll take a few weeks I suppose for your Test to peak but I don’t think I would’ve made near the gains without a gym.
