Heavy Duty helped me break a bench plateau after months of spinning my wheels
For me, it was around week 3. The erection benefits were obvious early, but the gym pumps and vascularity took a little longer to show up.
Honestly I noticed recovery before anything else. Around the 2-week mark my joints felt better and I wasn’t as beat up after training.
Been on 5mg daily for a couple months now. Better pumps in the gym started around week 2, especially on arm days.
Not gonna lie, I expected some crazy transformation. Outside of erections, the effects were pretty subtle for me.
I’ve run it before and the biggest thing was endurance. About 3-4 weeks in, cardio felt noticeably easier.
Personally, sleep improved within the first week. Could be unrelated, but that’s what stood out most to me.
YMMV, but I didn’t notice much besides the obvious bedroom effects. Pumps were maybe a little better.
Around week 4 my veins started popping more during workouts. Nothing insane, but definitely noticeable.
For me the recovery boost was the real game changer. Less soreness between sessions after about 2 weeks.
Mileage may vary, but I felt fuller in the gym almost immediately. Could’ve been placebo, but workouts felt great.
I’ve been taking 5mg daily for 6 months. The benefits kind of sneak up on you rather than hitting all at once.
Didn’t do much for me outside of erections honestly. Maybe slightly better pumps, but that’s about it.
Results were solid by week 3. Better blood flow, better endurance, and my leg workouts didn’t gas me as hard.
