Steroid Cycles
Empirical and anecdotal evidence clearly show that steroids are most effective and safest when they are used in a logical sequence referred to as a cycle. The term cycle is commonly used by athletes to refer to the time they are on steroids. An average on cycle is usually from 6 to 12 weeks. An average off cycle, which is the time off of the steroids, should be at least 10 to 12 weeks. This pattern is needed to minimize side effects associated with long term steroid use. It is felt that doing just 2 cycles a year is best to keep side effects to a minimum. In the off cycle period, the user is allowing the body to restore its natural hormonal patterns and to recover from any stress that occurred during the cycle. Cycling steroids is also important to insure their effectiveness. If a person stays on a steroid for too long, receptor sites will fail to recognize it. This attenuation is not experienced if cycles are done properly. Some evidence supports keeping cycles fairly short; about two months in length or less. Recent evidence has shown that receptor down regulation, which is a decrease in the amount of a steroid being picked up by a cell, occurs in as little as 3 weeks. Also shown was that the positive nitrogen balance, a primary anabolic indicator of a steroid, will not exist if the dosage is not continually increased. The wiser athletes put every bit of knowledge they have into designing their cycles. One of the cycles gaining in popularity is the 3 Weeks Blitz. In this cycle, the athlete uses each drug for three weeks at a time. The idea here is the steroid will not suppress the androgen receptors in just 3 weeks, resulting in only slight impairment of receptor functions versus the degree of attenuation that is experienced if one drug were taken for a long period of time. Another cycle pattern which goes on the same premise as the 3 week blitz, is the 6 Weeks Mini cycle. In this cycle, 2-3 steroids are taken in a certain combination for 6 weeks, then a 2 week off cycle is taken before coming back to another 6 week cycle of the same, or more favorably, 2 different steroids. After this second cycle, an off period of at least 2 months is taken. A familiar cycle pattern is the Diamond Mass. This one starts with a minimal dosage of one or more steroids, increases for several weeks and then decreases for several weeks in an attempt to bring the bodies own testosterone production back up before going off the steroids. The Inverted Pyramid is another cycle pattern. This cycle starts with a maximum dosage and works down from there. This cycle is very popular in situations where the athlete is going to be drug tested. Steroid cycles take on an infinite number of patterns and involve the use of just one or up to a dozen different drugs.

HERE IS A NOVICE CYCLE EXAMPLE, BUT ALSO SCROLL DOWN FOR 10 OF THE BEST STEROID CYCLES IN THE WORLD!
Week 1 to 6
Testosterone (Cypionate or Enanthate)
(optional) Dianabol
400 mgs+20 mgs/day Dianabol
Week 6 to 12
400 mgs/day
So you´ll notice a few things here, and I´ll explain them one by one. The first thing that we suggest is a twelve week cycle. This is because as a beginner, we feel like you want to have some time to deal with your cycle and make gains from it. You´re going to gain a lot of weight at first, and you need to get used to it. Gains will begin to taper off towards the end of this cycle. Most people find minor side effects to begin immediately upon starting a cycle (acne, etc... ) and subside within the first month also. This is as a result of your body trying to normalize itself or maintain/restore homeostasis in geek-speak.
The first compound we´re looking at for this cycle is testosterone. Testosterone is a great compound for use as the base of every cycle, and especially a beginner´s cycle This is because it is the primary male sexual hormone and it will have a variety of beneficial effects in your body including the synthesis of new protein and increase in IGF (both of which will build muscle), increasing red blood cell count (thus increasing endurance), and will provide an increase in both strength and aggressiveness in the gym. Additionally, it will convert to a much stronger androgen called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and also the female sex hormone Estrogen. This will give you the full spectrum of effects provided by your own natural testosterone. At this dose, not too many side effects should manifest. If your nipples get sore, then 10mgs/day of Nolvadex would be a welcome addition to this cycle. If hair loss is a concern, Propecia (Finasteride) can be added into the cycle as per the manufacturer´s instructions.
You´ll need to inject either Testosterone Enanthate or Testosterone Cypionate at a dose of 400mgs once a week, and have the suggested medications to treat side effects on hand, just in case you need them.
The second, and optional, compound in this cycle is Dianabol (Methandrostenolone). This is an oral version of testosterone that has been tweaked by scientists to have less conversion to estrogen. In this case, they added what´s known as a c1-2 double bond, and this slows conversion to estrogen, and appears to do the same with conversion to DHT. They also made an adjustment called c17 alpha alkylation, making it orally active (unlike the testosterone you are using in this cycle). Adding this steroid into a beginner´s cycle will allow the user to achieve more gains in strength and muscle mass more quickly. It´s known to experienced steroid users as kick starting a cycle. Remember, the testosterone is the bread and butter of this cycle, and the Dianabol is a nice addition, but not to be used alone.
A cycle like this should provide a beginning steroid user with a good twenty pounds or more if a proper diet and training regimen is followed. Some of this weight is going to be water retention, since the two steroids being used can both convert to estrogen. If a clean, high calorie diet is followed, then that bloated watery look that´s common with first time steroid users can be avoided. Also, it´s important to note that it´s a very good idea to do at least 20 minutes of cardio work three or four times a week while on a cycle, to keep your cardiovascular system running optimally, and able to support all of the new weight (and stress) you are placing on it.
10 of the Best Steroid Cycles by experienced Steroid Users........
There are loads of great cycles of steroids aimed at different standards of bodybuilder or looking at different outcomes. We just picked out ten great ones and have given a brief description for each. Please bear in mind that sometimes there are different names for drugs depending on where you are in the world or who makes it.
Most importantly - do not even consider using steroids unless your diet is ideal for gaining muscle mass, even if you are looking to increase your definition. You should also be training very hard and regular. Make sure your natural gains have slowed down if this is to be your first time.
Gynecomastia (presence of female breast tissue) and other aromatising side effects of some steroids (for example water retention) may be more apparent in certain individuals. If this is a problem take 20mg per day of Nolvadex / Tamoxifen until symptoms disappear, then continue with 10mg per day until the end of the cycle, or Clomid. It is generally thought best not to take Nolvadex unless you have these side effects, though it is good practice to keep some in stock in case it's required.
Clomid or HCG may be taken post cycle if a few weeks break is expected. This is in order to help kick start your own natural testosterone secretion, to minimise post-cycle side effects and, more importantly, to minimise any muscle loss after a course. There are a number of recommended ways to take Clomid, but an effective method is: 100mg per day for 7 days commencing 7-18 days post cycle depending on what is in the cycle. This is followed by a further 50mg per day for a further 2 weeks.
Some folk prefer to use HCG, and after heavy stacks both may be suggested. HCG should commence during the last week, with a jab weekly, for 3 jabs of 2500iu each.
Also I've not mentioned beta-agonists, thyroid hormones or growth hormone in this article. These can be added to any of the stacks as appropriate.
1. Beginner Cycle #1
The most frequently asked question in many steroid forums is for a great effective beginners cycle:
Deca durabolan - 200-400mg per week for 8 weeks
Sustanon 250 OR Testoviron depot - 500mg per week for 8 weeks
This is a standard first course recommended by most, even if the individual wishes to lose fat (as diet is the key to fat mobilisation, NOT gear). Whether you opt for Testoviron or Sustanon is personal choice or depends on availability; both are great drugs. 400mg of Deca per week is generally assumed to be the minimum amount for gains, however, many first time users do extremely well on less than this.
Continue on this for the full 8 weeks, but if you are still growing well, why stop? Review gains every two weeks, and it may be continued for 10, 12 or more weeks.
Nolvadex should be on hand in case symptoms of aromatisation become apparent. Clomid should be used post cycle commencing at 10-14 days afterwards.
The testosterone and the Deca can be split down into 2-3 shots per week: 250mg of test (1ml) plus 100mg of Deca (1ml) mixed into the same syringe, and another of 200mg of Deca (2ml).
2. Beginners Cycle #2 - The Classic Mass Builder
This is a variation on the above:
Deca durabolan - 400mg per week for 8 weeks
Sustanon 250 OR Testoviron depot - 500mg per week for 8 weeks
Dianabol - 30mg per day, six days per week for 6 weeks
This stack should produce good results for the steroid user looking for mass. Here the Deca should be 400mg for optimum effects, and the Dianabol at the onset helps kick start the cycle while you are waiting for the longer acting Deca and test to take effect.
Nolvadex should be on hand in case symptoms of aromatisation become apparent. Clomid should be used post cycle commencing at 10-14 days afterwards. You may hold a lot of water from this brought about by the Dianabol and the testosterone but this can be reduced by the use of Nolvadex / Tamoxifen or Arimidex.
The dosage of Dianabol may be divided out through out the day and taken every 3-4 hrs as it has such a short half-life. Though most people take half in the morning and half in the evening. Take them with / after a protein-based meal.
The testosterone and the Deca can be split down into 3 shots per week: 250mg of test (1ml) plus 100mg of Deca (1ml) mixed into the same syringe, and another of 200mg of Deca (2ml).
3. Pharmamedstore Favourite - well, one of many!
One of our many favourites, again a variation on the above, just with more dosage. This one is a great mass builder and for the more advanced bodybuilder:
Testoviron depot - 750mg per week for 8 weeks
Deca durabolan - 500mg per week for 8 weeks
Dianabol - 30mg per day, Monday to Friday weeks 2-7
This is a big stack, but not huge, but bloody great !!! we always seem to grow well on Testoviron.
The above instructions apply, i.e. Nolvadex, Clomid, etc. Clomid should begin 7 days post cycle.
4. A Biggy from an experienced Bodybuilder
He claims this is his favourite cycle which he has done a few times:
Weeks 1 - 4
Sustanon 250 - 1,000mg per week
Testoviron depot - 1,000mg per week
Anadrol50 / Anapolan 50/ Androlic - 100mg per day
Weeks 5 - 8
Sustanon 250 - 500mg per week
Testoviron depot - 1,500mg per week
Dianabol / Anabol - 50mg per day
Deca durabolan - 400mg per week
Weeks 9 - 12
Sustanon 250 - 500mg per week
Testoviron depot - 250mg per week
Deca durabolan - 400mg per week
Nolvadex 10mg per day all through
Proviron - 50mg per day weeks 2 to 6.
Commence Clomid week 10 - 50mgs per day for 14 days
HCG - 2 shots per week of 2500iu with the Clomid
This is a big cycle, and very androgenic. Like me, he swears by Testoviron. Side effects may be high, hence the use of Nolvadex throughout, and the use of Clomid commencing 14 days afterwards, and HCG before the end of the cycle. The use of HCG gets your own testosterone levels up before any fall in androgens. There is a degree of tapering in this cycle due to its high testosterone amounts.
5. Super Stack
This is another great lean mass builder, from a professional Bodybuilder:
Finajet / Trenbolone - 75mg per day
Winstrol - 50mg per day
Testosterone propionate / Viromone - 100mg every other day
A six-week course and the usual precautions apply.
6. 'Sus-deca-dbol-end-with-winny' Stack
Another favorite cycle is the 'Sus-deca-dbol-end-with-winny' cycle:
Sustanon 250 - 500mg per week, weeks 1-10
Deca durabolan - 400mg per week, weeks 1-10
Dianabol - 35mg per day, weeks 1-4
Winstrol 30mg/ed, weeks 5-10
This is another great mass builder. The usual precautions apply.
7. A Testosterone-Free Lean Mass Builder
This is one if you want to avoid testosterone-based steroids. It's too often assumed that just because 'mild' steroids like Primabolan are not very androgenic, then they're not very good mass builders. Remember, all steroids are anabolic, and Primabolan as part of a stack is an excellent adjunct:
Primabolan depot - 300mg per week for 8 weeks
Deca durabolan - 400mg per week for 8 weeks
Winstrol - 150mg per week, weeks 2-7
This is not a huge stack, but is great for building quality, lean size (coupled with a sensible diet). We have a number of non-bodybuilding customers of Pharmamedstore, e.g. athletes, footballers, etc, and this may be a great cycle for them to try.
8. Frontloader
This is a great cycle from someone, used as an example of frontloading Equipoise and Deca:
Week 1 - Frontloading
Equipoise / Bolderbol-H - 800mg per week
Deca durabolan - 800mg per week
Testosterone propionate / Viromone - 100 mg every other day
Week 2
Equipoise / Bolderbol-H - 400mg per week
Deca durabolan - 400mg per week
Testosterone propionate / Viromone - 100 mg every other day
Week 3 - 4
Equipoise / Bolderbol-H - 400mg per week
Deca durabolan - 400mg per week
Winstrol - 50mg every other day
Week 5 - 8
Equipoise / Bolderbol-H - 400mg per week
Deca durabolan - 400mg per week
Winstrol - 50mg every other day
Week 9 and 10:
Equipoise / Bolderbol-H - 400mg per week
Deca durabolan - 400mg per week
Testosterone propionate / Viromone: 100mg every other day
This is a great lean mass builder again, showing how frontloading is done. The downside is a lot of jabs, due to Equipoise being just 50mg per 1ml. The usual precautions apply, and use HCG and Clomid post cycle at 7 days.
9. Mind Blower:
This 'Mind Blowing Stack' was used by a Big Bodybuilder. It is a heavy androgenic cycle, and only for use by the experienced gear-user.
Testoviron depot - 1,000mg per week, weeks 1-10
Equipoise - 800mg per week, weeks 1-10
Dianabol - 50-75mg per day, weeks 1-5/6
Testosterone suspension - 100mg per day, weeks 1-4/5
Finajet/Trenbolone - 150mg per day, last 4-6 weeks
Winstrol at the last - 100mg per day, last 4-6 weeks
This is not for the faint hearted, and certainly for advanced bodybuilders only. Equipoise is used rather than Deca so as not to overdo progesterone aromatisation. This involves a lot of injections, so try to get an UG lab Equipoise, as this maybe 200mg per 1ml, as opposed to Ganabol or Bolderbol H, which is 50mg per 1ml.
Side effects will be high on this so take precautions. I would recommend Nolvadex use throughout at 10mg per day, or Arimidex 1mg every other day. Clomid and HCG post cycle are a must - commence the HCG in the last week of the cycle, but Clomid 14 days afterwards
10. Another Fave!
Nice and simple, but very effective:
Anadrol 50 / Anapolan 50 - 100mg per day, 6 days per week
Deca durabolan - 400mg per week
Aprox 8 to 10 week cycle.
The usual precautions are a must here, with Clomid commencing 7 days post cycle. |
