There are many different cycles for taking steroids. In the next article, ten of them will appear, along with a short description for each one. Please note that sometimes the names of the drugs may vary depending on the location or the manufacturer.

And most importantly - do not think about a steroid cycle if you are not implementing a diet that is ideal for muscle gains. Also, you must train intensively, on a regular basis.

The abnormal development of large mammary glands in men which causes breast enlargement (Gynecomastia) and other side effects (such as water retention) caused by taking steroids, may be more prominent among some of the steroid users. If you have encountered such a problem, you can take 20 mg of Nolvadex - Tamoxifen until the symptoms disappear, then continue taking 10 mg per day until the end of the cycle, when Clomid can also be consumed for this purpose.

It is acceptable not to consume Nolvadex if you do not suffer from the side effects in question, but in any case, you should have a small amount of it on hand in case of need.

Clomid or HCG may be used after a steroid cycle when a break of several weeks is necessary, with the aim of helping you increase natural testosterone secretion, reduce the side effects typical of ending a steroid cycle, and most importantly - to reduce expected muscle loss.

There are several recommended ways to take Clomid, with a winning approach being taking 100 mg a day for 7 days, as a start for 7-18 days of a plan to end a cycle, and this depends on the composition of the specific cycle. After that, it is recommended to consume 50 mg a day for two weeks.

Some people prefer to use HCG, and after a particularly heavy steroid cycle, you can even take Clomid and HCG together. Note that taking the HCG must be started in the last week of the cycle.  

Taking beta-agonists (which activate the beta-2 receptor in the muscles surrounding the airways), thyroid hormones (hormones related to the thyroid gland) or growth hormone may also be effective.

1. Cycle for beginners / 1

The most common question in the field of steroids is what is the most effective and recommended cycle for beginners.

An example of a winning beginner's cycle:

Deca Durabolan - 200-400 mg per week for 8 weeks.

Sustanon 250 or Testaviron depot - 500 mg per week, for 8 weeks.

This is a standard beginner program that receives maximum support, even when the exerciser wants to lose fat.

In any case of choosing between Testaviron and Sustanon, when your choice expresses a personal preference or is influenced by the availability of the product, both drugs are superior.

A dose of 400 mg Deca per week is considered the maximum dose, and many beginners who have it for the first time, manage well even with a much lower dose. Continue like this for a full 8 weeks, but if you are still growing well, it would be a shame to stop. Check your achievements every two weeks, and you can continue even for 10 weeks, twelve weeks, and more. Keep Nolvadex on hand in case of side effects.

Clomid is used after the cycle, and should be started 10-14 days after it ends.

The testosterone and Deca can be split into 2-3 weekly injections:

250 mg testosterone (1 ml) + 100 mg Deca (1 ml) mixed in the same syringe + other 200 mg (2 ml) of Deca.

2. Cycle for beginners / 2 - The classic muscle builder This cycle is another variation of the cycle presented above.

Deca Durabolan - 400 mg per week for 8 weeks.

Sustanon 250 / Testaviron depot - 500 mg per week for 8 weeks.

Dianabol - 300 mg a day, six days a week, for six weeks.

This cycle may be most effective for those interested in building muscle. Here 400 mg of Deca should be used to obtain the maximum effect and Dianabol as an opening helps to start the cycle effectively, while the user waits for the effects of the testosterone and Deca.

Nolvadex should be kept on hand in case of unwanted side effects.

Clomid is used after the cycle, and should be started 10-14 days after it ends.

You may retain a large amount of water as a result of using testosterone and Dianabol, but by using Nolvadex (Tamoxifen) or Arimidex you can reduce this side effect.

The dose of Dianabol may be divided throughout the day, and it can be taken every 3-4 hours, since its half-life (the time it takes for a particle to break down to half its original size) is short. Most exercisers take Dianabol once in the morning and once in the evening, and it should be taken with or after a protein-based meal.

The testosterone and Deca can be split into three injections per week, as follows:

250 mg testosterone (1 ml) + 100 mg Deca (1 ml) mixed in the same syringe + other 200 mg (2 ml) of Deca.

3. Another variation of the cycles above, with a higher dosage, excellent for building muscle and intended for more advanced bodybuilders.

Testaviron depot - 750 mg per week, for 8 weeks

Deca Durabolan - 500 mg per week for 8 weeks

Dianabol (Naposims) - 30 mg per day, Monday - Friday, between 2-7 weeks

The composition of steroids in this cycle is relatively large, but not very much, and it is extremely effective.

4. Program for adults

Weeks 1-4

Sustanon 250 – 1000 mg per week

Testaviron depot - 1000 mg per week

Anadrol50 / Anapolan 50 – 100 mg per day

Weeks 5-8

Sustanon 250 – 500 mg per week

Testaviron depot - 1500 mg per week

Dianabol / Anabol - 50 mg per day

Deca Durabolan - 400 mg per week

Weeks 9-12

Sustanon 250 – 500 mg per week

Testaviron depot - 250 mg per week

Deca Durabolan - 400 mg per week

Nolvadex - 10 mg per day throughout the program

Proviron - 50 mg per day in weeks 2-6

Clomid - start in week 10, 10-50 mg per day for 14 days

HCG - 2 injections per week, at a dose of 2500 IU (IU - unit for drugs and vitamins accepted in the world), along with Clomid.

This is a relatively serious cycle and loaded with androgens (male hormones), so the side effects may also be higher. Because of this, the use of Nolvadex throughout the cycle, the use of Clomid and the use of HCG before the end of the cycle are required. The use of HCG increases the levels of natural testosterone before the decrease in androgens.

5. Super cycle

Finajet / Trenbolone 75 mg per day

Winstrol - 50 mg per day

Testosterone propionate / Viromone 100 mg once every two days

This is a six-week program and all necessary precautions must be taken during it.

6. Another winning cycle

Sustanon 250 – 500 mg per week, in weeks 1-10

Deca Durabolan - 400 mg per week, in weeks 1-10

Dianabol - 35 mg per day, in weeks 1-4

Winstrol - 30 mg per day, in weeks 5-10

This cycle is an excellent muscle builder, and all the necessary precautions must be taken during it.

7. Builds testosterone-free muscle

If you prefer to avoid taking testosterone-based steroids, this is the right option for you. There are those who think that because steroids such as "Primabolan" are not very androgenic, they are not considered good muscle builders. Remember that all steroids are anabolic and using Primabolan as part of your cycle may prove to be most effective.

Primabolan depot - 300 mg per week for eight weeks

Deca Durabolan - 400 mg per week for eight weeks

Winstrol - 150 mg per week, in weeks 2-7

This program is not so powerful, but it contributes to building a thin and high-quality figure (when it is accompanied by a suitable diet, of course).

8. The optimal charger

Week 1: The claim

Equipoise / Bolderbol-H – 800 mg per week

Deca Durabolan - 800 mg per week

Testosterone propionate / Viromone - 100 mg once every two days

Week 2:

Equipoise / Bolderbol-H – 400 mg per week

Deca Durabolan - 400 mg per week

- Testosterone propionate / Viromone 100 mg once every two days

Weeks 3-4:

Equipoise / Bolderbol-H – 400 mg per week

Deca Durabolan - 400 mg per week

Winstrol - 50 mg once every two days

Weeks 5-8:

Equipoise / Bolderbol-H – 400 mg per week

Deca Durabolan - 400 mg per week

Winstrol - 50 mg once every two days

Weeks 9-10:

Equipoise / Bolderbol-H – 400 mg per week

Deca Durabolan - 400 mg per week

- Testosterone propionate / Viromone 100 mg once every two days

This is an excellent muscle building program that shows how to "load". The least nice part of it is the multiple injections, which results from the use of Equipoise, which contains only 50 mg per 1 ml.

Take all necessary precautions and use HCG and Clomid after the end of the cycle.

9. For the experienced

A heavy androgenic cycle, intended for those with experience only.

Testaviron depot - 1000 mg per week, in weeks 1-10

Equipoise - 800 mg per week, in weeks 1-10

Dianabol - 50-75 mg per day, in weeks 1-5/6

Testosterone suspension - 100 mg per day, in weeks 1-4/5

Finajet / Trenbolone - 150 mg per day, for the last 4-6 weeks

Winstrol - 100 mg per day, for the last 4-6 weeks

This program is not for the faint of heart, and is only suitable for advanced bodybuilders. In this cycle, Equipoise is used instead of Deca, in order not to excessively increase the degree of aromaticity of progesterone (progesterone - the female sex hormone). Users of this cycle will have to receive many injections, so it is recommended to choose Ttokkyo Equipoise which contains 200 mg per 1 ml, as opposed to Ganabol or Bolderbol H which contain 50 mg per 1 ml.

The side effects of this cycle may be particularly high, so all precautions must be taken, and it is even recommended to take Nolvadex throughout, at a dose of 10 mg per day, or alternatively - Arimidex, at a dose of 1 mg once every two days.

The use of HCG and Clomid after the end of the cycle is mandatory. The consumption of HCG should be started in the last week of the cycle, and the consumption of Clomid, 14 days after that.

10. Another lovely cycle, nice, simple and very effective

Anadrol 50 / Anapolan 50 - 100 mg per day, 6 days a week

Deca Durabolan - 400 mg per week

It is mandatory to keep all the necessary precautions and start taking Clomid 7 days after the end of the cycle.
