Description
This cycle is specifically designed for novice athletes who have had only a few cycles of anabolic steroids. If this is your first cycle, it may also be suitable for you. The cycle is planned for 12 weeks, with subsequent PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) to restore your natural testosterone levels and maintain the results. The selected compounds are chosen so that by the end of the cycle, your body becomes more muscular and defined. Additionally, the cycle aims to prevent issues such as fluid retention, which can affect your appearance and make you look bloated, a concern often encountered by strength athletes using water-retaining substances.
This cycle includes two anabolic steroids: testosterone (of your choice) and Dihydroboldos (Dihydroboldenone or DHB). Testosterone is the foundation of any cycle, being the primary male hormone responsible for libido, emotional well-being, motivation, and providing the necessary drive for workouts. Of course, testosterone is crucial for muscle mass and strength gains.
The lean muscle mass cycle, combining testosterone and Dihydroboldos, is an outstanding strategy for experienced athletes seeking to maximize physical fitness. Testosterone, as the main male sex hormone, plays a crucial role in the anabolic processes responsible for muscle growth, strength gain, and recovery.
In turn, DHB, although a derivative of testosterone, has unique properties. Its ability to bind to androgen receptors is significantly superior to testosterone, which makes it a more powerful anabolic. Interfering with androgen receptors stimulates protein synthesis and nitrogen retention in muscles, leading to an increase in their mass.
However, despite similar goals, testosterone and Dihydroboldos interact differently. Testosterone, as a hormone converted to estrogens, can cause water retention and gynecomastia. Dihydroboldos, on the contrary, does not have these disadvantages, making the weight gain more "dry" and maintaining muscle quality.
The combined effect of these two steroids provides athletes with unique opportunities for maximum muscle growth. The synergy of testosterone and Dihydroboldos complements each other, providing not only a significant set of muscle mass but also an improvement in its texture and density.
Risks of Side Effects
It is important to take into account the side effects such as lowering high-density cholesterol, and others that may occur when using these steroids. This emphasizes the need to strictly control the dosage and duration of the cycle, as well as closely monitor the body's reaction.
In conclusion, although a testosterone and Dihydroboldos -based cycle provides the potential for impressive results, careful planning, medical supervision, and strict adherence to safety measures are key aspects that determine the success of this approach."
The risk of side effects is reduced by using aromatase inhibitors (Arimidyn), which minimize the chances of developing gynecomastia and prevent excess fat accumulation. Controlling estradiol levels ensures that mood and libido remain stable. Starting from the fourth week, HCG will be used to expedite testosterone recovery during PCT.
The goal of this cycle is to gain clean muscle mass without excessive water retention and subcutaneous fat. The cycle is suitable for those aiming for an athletic appearance with defined musculature. It is tailored for individuals aspiring to achieve a physique similar to men's physique competitors. While anabolic steroids alone cannot guarantee an ideal physique in a short period, this cycle, when approached correctly, significantly aids in reaching such goals.
The advantages of this cycle over traditional bulking methods include a more aesthetic appearance and a more defined musculature at the end of the cycle. If you wish to add hardness to your muscles, you can consider using some fat-burning agents like Clenbutos, Yohimbinos, or HGH Fragment 176-191 in conjunction with this cycle.
Why 12 Weeks
A 12-week cycle is considered optimal for most individuals. This duration strikes a balance between shorter, safer but less effective 6-week cycles and longer 16-24 week cycles. Unlike short 6-week cycles, a medium-length cycle is more effective due to the prolonged impact of anabolic steroids on muscles. Protein synthesis and muscle growth are gradual processes, requiring sufficient time for significant gains.
A 12-week cycle can be chosen by athletes of any age and training experience. It provides ample time to make noticeable changes to your body, gaining an additional 5-6 kg of muscle mass while simultaneously burning 3-4 kg of subcutaneous fat with proper training and nutrition. This cycle can significantly transform your appearance if you adhere to all the instructions and dosages mentioned in the description and use all the supplementary drugs listed here.
The cycle demands discipline, including periodic blood tests to monitor hormone levels and make timely adjustments. Adhering to all cycle conditions ensures significant and worthwhile results for the money and time invested. Following all instructions and recommendations helps make the cycle effective and maximally safe. Properly conducted PCT is equally crucial to preserving the results achieved during the cycle.
Nutrition
For individuals prone to weight gain, monitoring calorie and macro-nutrient intake is crucial to align the cycle with your goals. Consuming an adequate amount of protein while avoiding excessive carbohydrates and fats is essential to maintain the right calorie balance for muscle gain without accumulating excess fat. Disrupting this balance may result in the final cycle outcome not meeting expectations.
How to use
Testosterone and Trenen
Anabolic steroids are administered intramuscularly using syringes. Needles G21 or G23 are most commonly used. We recommend injecting into the glutes, following all the rules for intramuscular injections. You can mix all compounds in one syringe and administer one injection per week, or divide the injections into 2, for example, on Monday and Thursday or on other days.
Propios
The last 2 weeks of the cycle after the last injection of main compounds, while the concentrations of these two anabolic steroids in the blood will decrease, we recommend that you use the short ester of testosterone (Propios) in order to maintain a still high level of anabolism at this time. Take a 50 mg injection every second day until you will start PCT.
Arimidyn
The dosage of aromatase inhibitors is determined individually, depending on your estradiol level. We recommend starting with dosages of 0.5 mg (1 tablet) 3 times a week and after 14 days to do blood tests for estradiol to adjust the dosage for you.
HCG 5000
The drug is used with small insulin syringes. You can use both intramuscular injections and subcutaneous injections, while using a fold on the abdomen. Injections made in this way are painless and very simple, so they should not frighten those who have not used injections before. We recommend using 1000 IU per week. This dosage is average and suitable for most people.
In order to prepare a solution for injection, you take a syringe already containing a diluent and inject it into a vial containing a lyophilized powder. Tilt the vial so that the needle touches the vial wall. Avoiding injecting the diluent directly into the lyophilized powder. The solvent should slowly flow down the wall of the bottle (do not fill everything at once and take your time). Once all the diluent has been added to the peptide vial, mix gently (but do not agitate or shake the vial) until the lyophilized powder has dissolved and you are left with a clear liquid. Now the drug is ready for use.Store it at refrigerator.
Enclomilad
Once a day, 1 or 2 tablets as indicated in the table
Nolvados
Once a day, 1 or 2 tablets as indicated in the table
Testosterone
In bodybuilding, it is the most popular steroid for gaining muscle mass. The main advantage of testosterone enanthate is a pronounced increase in both muscle mass and strength (which is highly appreciated by weightlifters and powerlifters), as well as a noticeable pump during workouts. Along with its anabolic effects, the drug has a pronounced androgenic effect, significantly increasing libido, improving erection, and positively affecting psychoemotional state, motivation, and drive during training.
The rapid weight gain is associated with significant water retention due to sodium retention and estrogenic action, but with the help of aromatase inhibitors, fluid retention will be significantly reduced.
Testosterone enanthate often helps alleviate joint problems for those complaining of pain and crunching in the shoulders, and for those whose intervertebral discs show the first signs of wear.
Testosterone enanthate stimulates regenerative processes in the body, increases overall tone and desire to train, and prevents overtraining. It increases blood volume and red blood cell count, which enhances the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
A major issue with using testosterone enanthate in bodybuilding is its strong aromatization ability, i.e., conversion into estrogens (estradiol). As a result, gynecomastia, edema, fat deposition in a female pattern, and other side effects often develop. Therefore, aromatase inhibitors are used to control estradiol-induced side effects. Testosterone also has a fat-burning effect, and if you use Arimidex, which reduces the impact of estradiol on fat tissue increase, this effect will be more pronounced.
Dihydroboldos (Dihydroboldenone Cypionate)
Dihydroboldenone (DHB), also known as 1-testosterone, is an anabolic steroid that is a derivative of DHT.
DHB is a structural analog of testosterone in which two hydrogen atoms are added to the molecule, making it 5-dihydrotestosterone. This change gives DHB properties different from regular testosterone.
DHB has very strong anabolic properties, stimulating protein synthesis and increasing muscle growth. This drug significantly increases strength and muscle mass. The effect of the drug and its effectiveness can be compared with trenbolone, but unlike it, DHB does not cause such a large number of side effects. The preparation is well suited for both bulk and clean bulk purposes. It also has moderate androgenic properties, which makes it less prone to causing androgen-related side effects.
DHB is not susceptible to aromatization into estrogen (estradiol), which means that it does not provoke the development of estrogen-dependent side effects such as gynecomastia, female-type obesity and mood swings.
Like any anabolic steroid, DHB can cause a variety of side effects, including a decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, changes in cholesterol levels, suppression of natural testosterone production, and others.
Arimidyn
So let’s start with the fact that testosterone (and it will always be in your cycle) tends to turn into the female sex hormone- estradiol. An increase in the level of this hormone provokes many side effects, such as: gynomastia, fluid retention, mood swings and libido.
This is something we can see and feel right away, but there is a whole range of other side effects that we learn only when it’s too late. Very often, beginners think that if they do not have external sings of gynecomastia, then they cannot resort to the use of aromatase inhibitors, but this is not so.
First of all, estradiol is a hormone that greatly increases fat storage and this can be the reason that completely reduces the effectiveness of your diet. There is also suggestion that elevated estradiol for a long time can negatively affect the functioning of your cardiovascular system.
But the good news is that you can avoid all these problems if you use aromatase inhibitors (for example Arimidyn) in your cycle, which prevent testosterone from converting to estradiol. The dosages of these drugs are always selected individually depending on the level of your estradiol, which in turn will depend on the dosages of testosterone and your individual characteristics.
Our recommendation is to keep it in the middle of normal ranges, neither lower nor higher. These are the optimal values in order to get the maximum profit from your cycle. You will not have: excess fluid retention that spoils your appearance, high blood pressure (all due to the same fluid), accumulation of excess fat, decreased libido and any other negative effects.
It is also worth noting that it is unnecessary to reduce estradiol too low, then you risk getting the opposite effect and side effects of a different nature, in the form of a deterioration in cholesterol values, a decrease in bone mass density, a decrease in anabolism as well as a drop in libido, because low level of estradiol has the same negative effect on sexual desire as excessively high.
HCG 5000
Why any drug such as HCG should be included in each of your cycles longer than 6 weeks. There are several reasons for this.
Reason one
Let's start with the fact that as you know, while taking anabolic steroids, our body turns off the production of its own testosterone completely.
After your cycle, you must restore it with PCT. So, when using HCG during your cycle, it helps to restore your testosterone mush faster, which means that with a normal testosterone level, you will be able to a better maintain the gained result, and also not fall into the “emotional hole” that often happens at a low-level testosterone.
It works in such a way that HCG is a hormone that even during a cycle of steroids instructs your testicles to produce their own testosterone. Although your hypothalamus and pituitary gland will not be involved in this process, your testicles will work in their natural mode or close to it, without decreasing in size. That is, your testicles by the time of PCT will be ready to increase testosterone without delay.
Reason two
There is also another reason why HCG should be used, especially during the long cycles. The fact is that anabolic steroids not only ‘turn off’ the production of their own testosterone, but also in the same way affect the cessation of the production of steroid hormones by the adrenal glands.
This process produces hormones such as pregnenolone, progesterone, aldosterone, DHEA, and others. In this chain, each of these hormones has its own important effect on the body and when you interrupt the production of testosterone during your cycle, the process of producing these hormones is also disrupted.
As a result, your body is left without a number of reactions it needs. Using HCG – you save the entire chain of prohormones synthesis of steroid genesis. What is important is that some of the hormones that are created in this cascade of reactions are neurosteroids which have a positive effect on your mood, behavior, and libido. Below we will talk very superficially about the beneficial properties of some hormones in this chain.
● Progesterone reduces the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia and tumor processes, takes part in the functioning of the nervous system, helps to maintain normal levels of female sex hormones, strengthens bone tissue, normalizes thyroid function, and has a number of other important properties.
● Pregnenolone is important for brain function, and with it’s lack memory and mental abilities suffer.
● DHEA - the action of this hormone is not fully understood, but there is an evidence that indicates its widespread influence in the body. DHEA is useful for the cardiovascular system, helps with obesity, with various diseases of the central nervous system, with osteoporosis, weakening of the immune system.
In order to prevent testicular atrophy, as well as to resume the steroidogenesis of your adrenal glands, it is necessary to take HCG during the entire cycle. We recommend using 1000 IU per week. This dosage is average and suitable for most people.
There is a misconception that HCG should be taken during PCT. This is not true because the stimulation of your testicles themselves by imitation the action of hormones such as LH and FSH.
The actual triggering process for HPTA must begin in your pituitary gland and will be accelerated by drugs such as clomiphene and tamoxifen. HCG should be used during the cycle to keep your testicles from atrophying so that by the time of PCT they can quickly respond to pituitary stimulation with testosterone production. If this is not done, then you will have to wait a very long time until this mechanism starts itself after many months of “vacation”.
Post Cycle Therapy
The use of anabolic steroids replaces our own testosterone during the cycle, so while steroid molecules are floating in our blood, our body does not produce its own testosterone. After the end of the cycle, the steroid molecules are gradually removed and we are left without our natural testosterone. Its synthesis will start working but much slower than we need, so drugs such as clomiphene and tamoxifen come to the rescue to speed up the process and start its production as soon as possible.
Firstly, in this way we will avoid a sharp collapse in the muscle mass that we managed to build up on your cycle, and secondly, we will bring the body into a state of hormonal balance. In other words, we will return it to the state in which it was before the course. The sooner we do this, the less losses we will suffer.
The scheme for conducting PCT is usually much simpler than the cycle itself, but is no less important than the steroid cycle itself. We can say that this is the second part of the cycle aimed at retaining the result.
The better you do PCT- the more you get from the previous cycle and the more effective your future cycle will be, because without doing PCT, athletes often lose the entire result from the cycle and catch up with themselves only on the next one. As a result, they simply mark time without adding from cycle to cycle.
Basic information about PCT
After each completed cycle, a mandatory recovery period follows, so the so-called post-cycle therapy (PCT). Each cycle of anabolic steroids is an intervention in many of your body systems, which mainly follow changes in your reproductive system. Speaking in a simple un understandable language, without medical terminology and introduction into the hormonal wilds, you knock down your standard settings and change them to more “advanced” ones, after which several changes occur.
As you know, the body perceives any steroid as if you introduced testosterone into yourself, and if you enter it from the outside, then after a couple of weeks your body reduces the production of its own testosterone. If the cycle is long enough, then the testicles, which normally produce testosterone every day, simply start to forget their function and go on a long vacation. Normally, the male body produces about 7 mg of testosterone per day. Of course, by infusing huge amounts of anabolic steroids (compared to natural dosages) - you quickly extinguish your own production down to zero values.
The main task of PCT
The main task is to encourage the body to produce its own testosterone after the withdrawal of all drugs. The task is not entirely simple, since during the cycle the production of your own testosterone is completely suspended. Usually, even after a long cycle, testosterone is restored naturally sooner or later, but this can take a very long time. During this time, you will not only lose all your results, but you may also have time to plunge into unpleasant psychological states due to the complete absence of the main male hormone- testosterone. Prolonged lack of testosterone is not only psychological discomfort, but is generally not good for your body, because at this moment, according to a medical diagnosis, you are in a state of hypogonadism.
If the PCT was not carried out at all, the athlete may face many problems that will be associated with low testosterone levels. The problems of low levels of testosterone in your blood are both limitation to your athletic performance and a blow to your psychological state and many body systems. We strongly recommend that you take post-cycle therapy with the utmost seriousness, perhaps this process is even more important than the steroid cycle itself. If you have made a medical intervention in your body and disturbed the natural balance in favor of increasing androgens in your blood, then the most correct decision would be to bring everything back to its original values as quickly as possible when your androgens are too low. In essence, what we are doing is taking part in an anabolic game, and it is worth playing it by all known rules.
PCT is a must after any of your steroid, even if you’ve only used 1 drug like oxandrolone at the lowest dosages. The reactions of organisms are individual and sometimes recovery even after cycles can be delayed. Never listen to those who believe that there are cycles after which it is not necessary to do PCT – this is al-ways a delusion.
Using SERMs to restore your testosterone
The main task of PCT is to restore the production of testosterone by the body. And it will definitely not be possible to solve it without the use of antiestrogenic drugs (SERMs). Enclomilad (Enclomiphene), and Nolvados (Tamoxifen) belong to the class SERMs – selective estrogen receptor modulators. This means that these agents act selectively: in some tissues they will attach to estrogen receptors and activate them, in others they also attach, but already block.
SERMs (Post-Cycle Therapy Compounds)
Enclomilad
Enclomilad is a new selective modulator of estrogen receptors, it lacks most of the disadvantages inherent in SERMs. Enclomiphene is a derivative of clomiphene, but more effective. It is important that enclomiphene was purposefully created to combat secondary hypogonadism in men (suppression of testosterone production under the influence of anabolic steroids or other drugs is just a case of secondary hypogonadism).
Nolvados
Enclomilad blocks estrogen receptors selectively in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, while Nolvados can be an antagonist of estrogen receptors in all organs and tissues. The use of both leads to an increase in the level of estrogens in the blood – this is a natural reaction of the body to a decrease in tissue sensitivity to these hormones.
