The Beginner’s Guide, Everything You Wanted To Know About Anabolic Use
This article will change the basic information for starting Cycle, I will not go into any other material and types, so this article is basic only.
Background:
This steroid is a synthetic hormone, steroids are divided into several groups:
AAS - Anabolic Androgenic Steroids
Corticosteroids
The second group, corticosteroids, is for medical purposes such as anti-asthma and is not relevant for bodybuilders.
The first group is the steroids used by bodybuilders.
These steroids have 2 major and anabolic and androgenic properties.
Without going into the chemical details, the anabolic feature results in high protein synthesis in the body, high nitrogen balance and the ability to increase muscle mass (hypertrophy).
Androgenicity - a male-like property, which is no less important than anabolic, this reflects the strength of the steroid, anabolic steroid with high anabolic and androgenic properties does not increase in mass alone, despite the high anabolic properties. Example: Winstrol and Anavar.
However, it should be noted that these numbers do not necessarily reflect the strength of the steroid.
What is a Cycle?
Cycle = periodicity, this is the period when the user takes the steroids, because the steroids are synthetic hormones, the body receives them externally, during this period the body stops producing the hormone testosterone, so the steroids should be taken for a specified period which we will cover later.
Average Cycle Time:
The minimum recommended time for a cycle is 8 weeks, less than 8 weeks do not show results (although it depends on the type of substance, which we will discuss later). But it is not recommended to pass the 20 weeks due to weakening of natural testosterone production.
Methods of Steroid Use:
There are 2 main types of steroids: oral and injectable, oral from the oral word ORAL, pills taken orally.
Injections - Water / oil based steroids that inject them intramuscularly.
Why Use Steroids And Who Should Use?
Steroids aren’t kids games, those who take should know what to expect, it’s playing with the hormones in the body, these substances are dangerous for those who don’t know how to use them.
People under the age of 21 have nothing to look for in steroids, until that age the body does not complete the hormonal increase, even though at this age natural testosterone levels are very high.
Use of steroids under this age is not recommended at all, there may be damage to the hormonal system, ranging from sexual dysfunction to growth impairment.
It’s hard for me to understand the kids who think straight about cycles, first practice hard, grow naturally, only after age 21 think about using steroids.
If you have reached the age of 21, if you have reached the point of being ripped off during exercise, your diet is very strict and you sleep for at least 8 hours a night, so in this case you should consider taking steroids.
It is very important - This should not be considered a recommendation for use of materials.
However, you should not think that if you take steroids you will grow up straight, discipline in Cycle is very important, care should be taken about nutrition more than before, important frequency of meals, sleep at least 8 hours and of course very intense workouts.
Without adhering to the rules I have written, the chance of seeing results in a significantly diminished cycle, it must be understood that steroids are a utility, and will not do the job alone.
You always hear in a gym, he takes steroids and it's not smart, he’s a cheater, this sentence is fundamentally wrong, a person in his discipline must be more than a non-cyclist discipline, you can’t tell what goes on that one, a self-discipline practitioner , Unequivocally not approaching steroids.
Those who maintain self-discipline and their cycles are as complex as they should be, there is no reason for them to harm themselves in health, so it is very important what you take.
Building a Cycle Plan:
For beginners it is not recommended to mix materials, take a base substance called testosterone, the popular substance is TESTOSTERONE ENANTHATE.
Do not overdo the doses, doses between 250 mg per week and up to 500 mg per week are common.
It is not recommended to take oral steroids on the first cycle due to liver toxicity, nor is it recommended to mix different steroids for two main reasons:
1. The body receives an external hormone, so the body should not be burdened at the beginning.
2. Not sure that a combination of some steroids will give better results in the first cycle, however, if this combination is in the next cycle.
In more advanced cycles, a combination of very important base material can be added to other substances whether oral or injectable.
The use of oral substances is limited in time due to their toxicity to the liver, the restriction is up to 6 weeks, there are 2 substances that the restriction is up to 4 weeks and they are anadrol and lotestine, due to their high toxicity to the liver.
The average cycle time for beginners is 10 weeks, the dose should be split twice a week to maintain a constant level of blood material, for example if a user takes 500 mg of material per week, then split into 2 injections per week of 250 mg, the interval should be equal For example, Tuesday morning and Friday evening. That way there is a 3 and half day interval between injection and next injection.
Some of the steroids impair sexual function, for example: the steroid nandrolone, so the use of a very important base substance in such cycles.
Steroids and liver toxicity:
To prevent the steroid from breaking down in the liver, add a feature that will make it survive in the liver.
The steroids Anadrol and Lotestine are very toxic to the liver, use beyond 4 weeks can cause liver damage, so use should be restricted. You may even want to avoid using them.
Cycles terms:
ED - Everyday
EOD - Every other day, a term that refers to yes, yes, no.
EW - Every week.
1-10 - from first week to tenth week
100mgs / EW - 100mg of material every week.
Examples of cycles:
Cycle beginners:
1-10 Testosterone Enanthate 500mgs / EW
Cycle after cycle begins:
Example 1:
1-10 Testosterone Enanthate 500mgs / week
4-8 Dianabol 30mgs / ED
Example 2:
1-12 Testosterone Enanthate 500mgs / EW
1-9 Deca Durabolin 400mgs / EW
Example 3 is recommended for toning:
1-10 Testosterone Enanthate 500mgs / EW
1-6 Winstrol 50mgs / ED
For beginner cycles (after first cycle), moderate materials such as:
Testosterone enanthate / cypionate, Deca durabolin, dianabol, boldone, oral turinabol, winstrol, anavar, primobolan.
Stronger Style Materials:
Trenbolone acetate / enanthate, anadrol, halotestin are only recommended in advanced cycles, i.e. over at least a fifth cycle.
Differences Between Cycle Mass and Toning:
One of the shortcomings of many of the steroids they raise is fluid, while the cycle has a feeling of swelling due to fluids, there are substances that raise more fluid and there are substances that reduce fluid.
Let's take the 2 popular steroids on the subject: The famous DECA DURABOLIN steroid, this steroid adds a lot of fluid during the cycle, the fluids also go down at the end of the cycle, so there is a feeling that a lot goes on in the cycle, but at the end there is also weight loss.
In contrast, the steroid Winstrol, this steroid increases in clean mass, is unlike DECA that removes fluids from the body, so there is a danger of joint pain due to fluid drying.
For this reason the steroid Winstrol should not be taken alone, another reason is that it affects sexual function.
Therefore, cycling has a clear preference for steroid winstrol, but using a basic cycling material is sufficient for those who want to maintain muscle mass.
There is also the use of MASTERON material in the toning, but because its price is very unpopular in toning, Anabar is also unpopular because of its high price
But understandably, there is no difference between cycling mass and toning, there are materials that are better at tapping and those in mass.
Positive / Negative Calorie Balance and Nutrition During the Cycle:
Goals must be set at the beginning of the cycle:
Increase in mass or toning, which will not be doubts, there is no such thing as increasing muscle mass and lowering fat mass. Steroids are not hijacking and don’t listen to people’s stories, it’s a myth they invented to sell you nonsense.
Mass:
Those who want to gain muscle mass need to eat and lots of, 3 grams of protein per kg of body weight at least, some that also reach 5 grams.
Proper consumption of high quality carbohydrates and fats, carbohydrates should not be overstated so as not to raise unnecessarily fat mass, consuming at least 40-45 kcal per kg of body weight in cycles is important to increase mass.
Frequency of meals every two or three hours.
Keep in mind that protein synthesis is high so there is no need to eat a meal over 40-50 grams of protein.
Toning:
The advantage of using steroids in toning is that it is possible to maintain muscle mass, but there is no possibility of increasing muscle mass in toning due to a negative caloric balance, another popular myth - an increase in muscle mass in toning.
About 2.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight should be consumed, which is important in limiting carbohydrate intake, and high-quality fats should be consumed.
Frequency of meals every two or three hours.
The use of multivitamin is mandatory throughout the cycle, consuming at least 0.5 g of vitamin C and consuming vitamin B12. It is recommended to use multivitamin only for athletes.
For cyclists with oral substances, the liver has protection against liver damage such as Gdalene or Liv52.
I finished the cycle, what now?
After the use of steroids, paralysis of natural testosterone growth is declined, while during the cycle there are high levels of estrogen and testosterone.
But at the end of the cycle, testosterone levels drop, to create a body balance that produces high levels of estrogen, which is not at all desirable and can even lead to the development of Gino (female breast), so estrogen should be transferred to the body.
To avoid the use of SERM, the most popular is citric tamoxifen, the generic name NOLVADEX.
For this period, PCT calls for a shortening of Post Cycle Therapy, post-cycle healing.
The PCT starts two weeks after the last cycle in the cycle.
Another similar substance in its action: CLOMID.
A substance that is also important in the transition between steroid use and PCT - chorigon and by the well-known name HCG. It is a hormone that causes two major desirable processes:
1. Increase testicular mass.
2. Natural production of testosterone.
Usually this material is used about a month before the PCT.
HCG Recommended Dose: Use 500iu per week split for two injections a week for one month only. No higher dosage is required, no high dosage has been shown to improve the natural production of testosterone.
Recommended dose of Nolbadex: 40 mg every day for the first two weeks, last two weeks 20 mg Nolbedex. Common form of registration: 40/40/20/20.
Common mistakes during the cycle:
Incorrect combination of substances - very dangerous and can cause unwanted effects, one of the common phenomena is sexual dysfunction. Each cycle requires the use of base material that is discussed in the cycle building process.
Example of wrong combination: DECA and BOLDENONE only.
Do not combine two oral substances to prevent liver damage.
High dosage - another common phenomenon, after all, the sentence says: as much as more substance has more results, the wrong sentence, a higher dose will not necessarily produce better results, but greater side effects.
Changing the doses during the cycle - Unwanted, the cycle should be started and finished with the same doses, changing the dosage of the substances during the cycle can only drive the body crazy.
Non-use of PCT - mandatory use of PCT, do not end cycling without using PCT.
Example of a correct cycle:
1-10 Testosterone Enanthate 500mgs / EW
1-8 Deca Durabolin 400mgs / EW
4-8 Dianabol 30mgs / ED
8-12 HCG 500iu / EW
12-18 Nolvadex 40/40/20/20
An example of a cycle that will have sexual dysfunction:
1-10 Deca durabolin 400mg / EW
1-10 Boldenone 600mg / EW
8-12 HCG 500iu / EW
12-18 Nolvadex 40/40/20/20
An example of a poor cyclist who would fear Gino without using PCT and HCG:
1-10 Testosterone Enanthate 500mgs / EW
4-8 Dianabol 30mgs / ED
Without PCT and without HCG, such a cycle is also likely to cause sexual dysfunction due to lack of HCG and danger to Gino due to lack of use of Noldex.
Using only oral materials will not give results like combining oral materials with base material to keep the results.
Side effects of steroids:
The side effects are very diverse and different between each user.
Examples of side effects:
1. Increase in blood pressure.
2. Nipple tingling.
3. Nervousness
4.Agression
5. Increase in fluids
6. Hair loss
7. Excess rate
8. Acne
9. Appearance
10. Gino
11. Thick voice
12. Anxiety
13. Sexual dysfunction includes lack of desire.
14. Increase in bad cholesterol - LDL and decrease in good cholesterol - HDL.
15. Mute natural testosterone production.
16. Increase in estrogen hormone levels.
In girls:
1. Increase clitoris.
2.Over rate.
3. Thick voice.
4. Getting a male form.
I finished the cycle, I’m very pleased with the results, I got another cycle, what do I do?
Wait, you’re done, well done, now you have to give your body a rest, a rest time equal to the cycle time.
For example, if the cycle time was 10 weeks, then the resting time would be at least 12 weeks. It is better to give more. But no less than mentioned.
While the PCT should gradually lower the amount of protein and total calories daily, do not lower everything in order not to lose muscle mass. For example, you should lower your daily intake around 80-100 calories.
I decided to use steroids, what should I do before?
You decided? Congratulations, welcome to the dark side, before you start, I strongly suggest browsing the internet and reading articles on steroid profiles, understanding what to take, what not, the information listed here is helpful but is not a substitute for self-reading.
Before I started in the first cycle, I read a lot of articles on the subject so as not to make mistakes, do not rely on the advice of “cannon people in materials”, this sentence I have heard enough times in my life, no such thing cannon in materials, even heavy users do not have enough knowledge in materials, It is not something that is black and white, everyone responds to each material differently. One person may respond badly to Dianabol and another person will respond well to the material.
Also, the sources from which you buy the materials should be clearly identified, in the market there are quite a few counterfeits and scammers (people who take the money without providing you with the product - very popular on the internet) - SCAMMERS.
Also, take any advice you receive in limited liability, do not take anything as the holy bible, you will learn, remember that knowledge is equal in strength, and as your knowledge of materials is great, so is the chance of minor mistakes.
I heard people who did cycles without using PCT and later regretted it very much.
Plan your diet in advance, also the training program, remember that in every workout 100% of you give, I remind you again that the materials will not do the work for you, they are serious tools to achieve your goals. But with no investment on your part you have no chance of results.
Explain how to inject intramuscularly:
* Wash your hands with soap.
* Vial / ampoule should be prepared.
* If the material is in the vial, the rubber of the vial must be cleaned by immersion in an alcohol toothpick and the rubber with an ear toothpick should be cleaned, alcohol must be allowed to evaporate completely.
* If the ampoule material, the ampoule must be broken
* Use a green needle (21G) to pump the material, and another needle 23G / 25G to inject, do not inject and pump with the same needle, after pumping, the needle should be replaced.
* Take a piece of cotton wool and dip it lightly in alcohol, clear the area by tossing with cotton wool over the area.
* Make sure there are no bubbles in the syringe.
* Insert the needle into the injection area carefully and quickly so as not to damage the organs, the needle should be at 90 degrees with respect to the injection area.
* Pull the injector's “pump” lightly to make sure you do not damage the vein, as well as replace the injection area, do not inject the substance into a vein!
* Press the syringe to insert the material, slowly and not quickly, every few clicks wait for two or three seconds, after the injection is done wait another 10-15 seconds and then quickly pull the syringe. You may have blood coming out, the cotton wool should be cleaned again.
* Put a patch on the injection area to stop the blood.
Sterility must be met, if the needle has been in contact with anything external (other than air), the needle must be replaced.
