STEROIDS GUIDE

                                                       

               BEGINNER'S STEROID CYCLE 

A steroid cycle is the duration in which a person uses anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), with each cycle often lasting anywhere between four to fifteen weeks depending on the goals of the user, experience and the anabolic compound(s) used. A steroid compound simply refers to a particular steroid drug, such as Dianabol, Winstrol or Testosterone Enanthate, for examples. Simultaneously using more than one steroid compound during a cycle is known as stacking.

A so-called "beginner steroid cycle" would entail the use of one or two steroid compounds over a limited period of time. The word beginner is used to describe someone who has no prior experience of steroid use, yet understands all the risks involved in using such illicit substances and wishes to embark on a steroid cycle (it does NOT include anyone who is a beginner to weight training - such people should not consider using such substances until they have much greater training experience and have made optimal use of their natural ability to build muscle tissue and strength).

It is paramount anyone wishing to start a steroid cycle first researches as much as possible about steroids, PCT, risks, side effects and so on, so they can make an informed decision on whether to use steroids or not.

Injectable and oral steroids

Using injectable steroids can seem very daunting for many beginner users. Some may therefore opt for a purely oral based steroid cycle for their first cycle, such as Dianabol, Anavar or Winstrol. If you decide to only run orals you are somewhat limited to which anabolic compounds you can run, as well as their doses and cycle duration (due to many orals being toxic to the liver).

Taking the plunge and willing yourself to use injectable compounds allows the use of a wide array of steroids, such as testosterone, Nandrolone, Trenbolone and Sustanon 250. There are many helpful online resources which can help with self-injecting, including this article: how to inject steroids. It is also a lot easier if you have a friend who uses and can help with your first few injections.

Which steroid compounds to use for my beginner cycle?

Someone new to steroid use will have zero knowledge on how they will react to such substances. It is therefore very important to have a good understanding of the compounds you are using, common side effects, and ideally use compounds with a short active life in the body. Using such short acting steroids will ensure the steroid is quickly clear from the body if you decide to cease the cycle due to undesirable side effects.

Below is a brief summary of a handful of popular anabolic androgenic steroids which may be used for a beginner's steroid cycle:

Testosterone (Enanthate / Cypionate / Propionate): The three words in the brackets refer to the ester. In simple terms, the ester is used to delay the release of the testosterone into the system and therefore you can use testosterone enanthate/cypionate if you wish to obtain a more slow release of testosterone (an active life of ~2 weeks) or testosterone propionate if you desire a faster acting effect (active life ~2-3 days). It is worth noting the fast acting propionate variation tends to be a sorer injection, and therefore undesirable for beginners who have never injected before.

Testosterone is extremely effective at causing rapid strength and muscle gains. We would expect to notice androgenic related side effects such as possible aggressiveness, oily skin and acne. Testosterone has a high tendency to convert to oestrogen, therefore side effects such fluid retention and Gynecomstia (breast tissue formation) should be considered possible (and therefore drugs such as Nolvedex and Proviron should be to hand).

Dianabol

Dianabol: Dianabol is very popular among beginners due to it being a highly effective oral steroid for developing muscle mass. If you are thinking of running a Dianabol only cycle then take a look FU's article Dianabol Cycle - The Guide. As with testosterone, Dianabol can bring about both androgenic and oestrogenic related side effects. Being hepatotoxic (toxic to the liver), it can only be ran for a limited time like most orals.

Winstrol: Winstrol is an oral steroid which often brings about much more steadier gains in muscle mass compared to the likes of Dianabol. Winstrol does not convert to oestrogen and therefore oestrogenic side effects should be of no concern to the user. Users often have a more defined look when running Winstrol compared to other steroids due to the absence of any water retention from the drug. If you're interested in running a Winstrol cycle, take a look at FU's great article: Winstrol Cycle - The Guide.

Nandrolone (a.k.a. "Deca"): Nandrolone decanoate is structurally very similar to testosterone, yet possess reduced androgenic properties and converts to oestrogen at a much lower rate. Whilst oestrogenic side effects tend to be limited, progestin related side effects are of concern to users and these side effects make some users confused as they are similar to oestrogenic side effects. It is paramount such side effects are treated with a competitive aromatase inhibitor, such as Arimidex, to minimise oestrogen levels which avoids activation of the progesterone (progesterone needs oestrogen for activation). Be careful of this steroid if you compete in drug tested sports as it can stay traceable in the body for many months.

Side effects from your first steroid cycle

Research each compound you will be using for your first cycle to ensure you are aware of common side effects related to the drug.

Steroids which possess androgenic properties (such as Dianabol and testosterone) may cause aggressiveness, oily skin and acne. These side effects are much more likely to show themselves in people who are prone to them, although you often do not know how prone you are until you embark on your first steroid cycle. However, if you had bad acne as a teenager it is more than likely you will be prone to oily skin and acne when running steroids with notable androgenic properties so you may wish to avoid such steroids.

Steroids which aromatise (the steroid converts to oestrogen) have the ability to bring about oestrogen related side effects in some users as the oestrogen levels in the body build up. Oestrogen is primarily the female hormone, and therefore side effects including increased fat storage, water retention, and the formation of breast tissue (Gynecomstia) are possible if left untreated.
Nolvedex binds to the oestrogen receptors

Nolvadex

Drugs such as Nolvedex bind to the oestrogen receptors, therefore reducing the effects of the heightened oestrogen in the body. Such drugs do nothing to reduce the amount of oestrogen in the body; they merely reduce its effects via competition for the receptors. If the user wishes to reduce the amount of oestrogen they should look to drugs such as proviron and anastrozole, which are known as anti-aromatases - i.e. they lower the conversion of the steroid to oestrogen and therefore reduces the overall amount of oestrogen present.

After your first cycle (PCT)

It is absolutely vital you follow a post cycle therapy once your steroid cycle has ceased. Steroid use will reduce your body's natural testosterone production, and it is therefore vital to restore the natural hormone balance as quickly as possible post cycle. Please read our post cycle therapy article to fully understand the concept of PCT and to ensure you have the correct drugs before you begin your steroid cycle - Post Cycle Therapy (PCT).

TYPES OF MOST KNOWN STEROIDS IN BODYBUILDING:

                                ANABOLIC STEROIDS

When we talk about steroids, the majority of tops include the best anabolic steroids for building muscle mass, or for cutting and with minimal side effects on your body. If you are a novice in steroid community you would find tops very useful, as they give you a general idea about what kind of steroids best work for you. Also, you will learn to choose them depending on your goals (cutting, bulking, and strength) and see the main advantages of each of them.

Especially popular are steroid tops on forums or communities where people come together to share their steroid use experience. This adds more value, since all shared information comes from user experience and is not just exposed there from theoretical point of view.

Further we will present you Top 9 most effective anabolic steroids recommended for use.  They were included in this top based on effects on muscle growth, low toxicity level, ability to keep gains after steroid ceasing, and other important features.

1.Testosterone

 It would not be a surprise for anyone if the first place in our top is taken by Testosterone.  Despite of what is your goal when setting a steroid cycle –cutting, bulking or increasing strength- testosterone should be included in it all the time. In other words it represents the base of each steroid cycle. You cannot go without it, which means it is indispensable in any course. Of course, there are different esters of testosterone, but all of them have on the base testosterone. Moreover, almost all anabolic steroids have on the base testosterone.

So, there are three types of testosterone: cypionate, enanthate and propionate. For cutting steroid cycles are used testosterone cypionate or enanthate. The last one is also very useful for just maintaining your muscle mass, and its mostly used with cutting cycles and its effect is felt more rapidly.

If you want to bulk lean muscle mass of your body than you should include in your steroid cycle testosterone enanthate.  It works great for this purpose. A dose of 500-600mg per week is great for a middle weight person. Pin the testosterone 2 times a week 250mg per pin. A cycle of 6-8 weeks is very good for a newbie roid user.

2: Anavar (Oxandrolone)

The second in our list is Anavar (oxandrolone).  Most of bodybuilders use it during cutting cycle, but most of them do not know that that it perfectly work for increasing strength and better lifts.  What you need to know is that anavar is one of the best anabolic steroid for cutting.

Top oral steroid cycles for cutting stack anavar and winstrol together, but again nothing works best with this tabs as test enantahte or cypionate, so don't forget to your cycle some test enanthate. Testosterone will cut your fat too, so don't worry about that. Anavar is also often used by girls, it helps cut the fat and its most safe anabolic steroids for women.

3: Winstrol

Winstrol or also called Stanozolol is an oral steroid considered one of the most effective among wide range of anabolic steroids.  It is perfect for cutting, but can be also included during bulking cycles as it increase muscle mass, harden your body, offer a dry look. It has some very important side effects which every use have to monitor carefully. Among them are dry joints and acne.

The best steroids to be stacked with Winstrol are Dianabol, Anavar and also Testosterone propionate. Such cycles will help you to get rid of extra fat in a great way, giving your body a lean muscle mass look.

4: Trenbolone

Trenbolone is the 4th in our top. On the market you will find 2 types of tren - Acetate and Enanthate. This steroid gain some other names during the time. That’s why when you meet trenbolone acetate or Parabolan know they are the same Trenbolone. Invariable, it is the best steroid ever, and most of bodybuilders know it. It helps to loss big amount fat, and gain instead big amounts of muscle mass. There is no doubt that Trenbolone is the strongest steroid, which give you amazing results without even following a protein and carbohydrate rich diet. It will give you some aggression too.

But, there is a big BUT. It has serious downsides that each bodybuilder should be aware of. Taken in big doses and for a long time, Trenbolone damage your liver and heart. The optimal duration of a Trenbolone cycle is maximum 10 weeks. After this you have to take a break of 20 weeks. And this is seriously, since abuse can cause irreversible side effects. You better would stick with Trenbolone Enanthate instead the aceatate (my opinion).

5: Deca Durabolin

Deca Durabolin (nandrolone decanoate) is the most used injectable steroid for bulking up muscle in bodybuilding. Its affordable price makes it very popular among bodybuilders.  If you want to build great muscle mass than you can opt for Deca-Durabolin as it has minimal or even no side effects if you follow recommended doses, duration of the cycle and right frequency of the injections. Over wise, you risk to develop gynecomastia or water retention. Gynecomastia can be circumvented by including in your steroid cycle Testosterone. In other cases you just need to follow right way of using Deca-Durabolin.

It is very important to know that during Deca-Durabolin cycle you have to follow a rich diet and workout muscles you want to grow muscles. Without right nutrition and heavy training, Deca-Durabolin will not give you wanted results.

6: Dianabol (methandienone)

Dianabol (methandienone) has not to miss this top, as it is the first steroid ever.  It is an oral bulking steroid, which effectiveness is available nowadays too.  Each bodybuilder who has steroid experience, have used Dianabol, as it is included in all bulking steroid cycles.  It also helps to increase strength, thus making your lifting training more effective. Dianabol helps you to increase muscle tissue, and not watery or fat deposits.  Dianabol use can cause water retention, but you can get rid of it by taking Nolvadex or Proviron.

7: Equipoise

Equipoise or Boldenone is great steroid for bulking up as it increases appetite and stamina. In the other hand, because of these effects it is not advisable during cutting cycle. At the beginning, Equipoise was used on animals, but with time it begins to be used in human for getting lean mass gains. It doesn’t aromatize, and this makes it very effective.  For great results Equipoise has to be taken in dose of 400 mg weekly and not less.

8: Sustanon

Sustanon (testosterone blend of cypionate, enanthate and propionate) is highly used as it greatly increase strength and muscle mass. It is composed from several testosterone estrogens, which make it very effective than using of each of these estrogens apart. Sustanon has effect right in the day of injection and is active during three or four weeks.

It has lower water retention and doesn’t aromatize as much as Testosterone Ethanate or Cypionate do. Worth to be mentioned that Sustanon greatly work even for advanced bodybuilder in small doses.

Usually Sustanon is injected once a week, but the break between doses can be up to ten days. Novice bodybuilders can take 250-100 mg per week, while advancer can go for bigger doses.

For great effects, Sustanon can be stacked with Deca-Durabolin, Dianabol, Winstrol or Primobolan.

9: Anadrol (Oxymetholone)

Anadrol (oxymetholone) is a cheap bulking steroid, but with many serious downsides. When abused is may damage your liver. For this reason the Anadrol cycle is no longer than 5 weeks.  During such a cycle you can gain up to 10 Ibs  or even more. Another disadvantage of Anadrol use is that you will lose more than half of your gains after steroid ceasing. This happens because muscle gains were attributed to water retention, and not growth of muscle tissue.

This is our top 9 best steroids. Keep in mind that for great results you should follow right nutrition and heavy workouts. Do not be lazy and rely only on steroids for bulking up muscle mass. There will be no results if you choose this way. Steroids will help you to increase muscle mass, but they do not replace workouts at all.
