Ok so a lot of people say that steroids kick in after 2 weeks does that mean that a person will not gain any significent muscle in 2 weeks and than in week 3-5 gain 8-12 pounds or so?

Tends to be quite dependent upon ester length.

If you're talking enanthate ester, the half life is around two weeks. In week 3 to 5 you may gain 5 pounds with good diet.

Steroids with esters attached to them are inactive until the ester is removed.

The ester is removed very quickly once in the blood.

Once the ester is removed, a compound like test, only has a half life of four hours.
