Anyone else underwhelmed by tren?

I’m 6 weeks into taking tren E for the first time. I started running it at 175mg for the last 4 weeks of my cut during which i got down to a true 9% bf. 2 weeks ago I have started my rebound/bulking cycle of test+eq and have kept the tren in.

Before starting it, I had been sold this dream that tren is this magical compound that lets you recomp even in a steep deficit and if you take it while bulking you can eat whatever you without putting on a gram of fat but my experience has not reflected that at all in either case.

I’ve been running it for 6 weeks now and despite having my training and nutrition dialed in i did not notice any substantial strength increase that couldn’t be attributed to the other anabolics i’m taking. Maybe 3-5% max over the last 2 weeks while eating at maintenance.

As for body composition, I had to remain very conservative with calories during this rebound despite being on a 1.5g of gear total. Any surplus bigger than 300 and I look noticeably more watery and less vascular the next day.

Do you guys think that the magic happens at bigger dosages or is it just me that didn’t respond too great?
