This cycle can be used as your first cycle, the second, or if you like orals medications, for further cycles for some specific purposes without striving for professional competition.

The most important thing when making up your firsts cycles is the principle of minimalism, since you should never abuse steroids, since almost all anabolic drugs have certain side effects that are aggravated by improper use or exceeding the allowed dosage.

Initially, the firsts cycles of steroids should be started with minimal doses, since over time they will most likely have to be slightly increased. A scheme that works at minimal dosages does not need to be increased; as long as it gives results. The dosages of this cycle, which you can see in the table below, are compiled in such a way that you would get the necessary and very visible effect and at the same time avoid side effects.

In any case, the first cycles can be called a "demo" cycle, which should mostly make you understand how sensitive your body is to anabolic steroids and how significant a result you can get. Of course, a lot depends on your efforts and discipline.

What result can you expect from this cycle

This question is asked by everyone who has decided to start taking steroids to transform their body, but this question has never had a clear answer. The thing is that no one can even answer the question - how many dry kilograms of muscle can you gain without using steroids. The use of anabolic agents does not alleviate this issue in any way. It all depends on your approach, discipline, and nutrition.

The study showed that men who took steroids for 10 weeks gained from 2 to 5 kg of muscle mass. They also reported a 5-20% increase in strength. They gained more in the shoulders, chest and forearms compared to other areas. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15248788/

In fact, there is no simple and unambiguous answer to the question of how quickly the steroids you take will act, because it depends on a number of variables.

The first of them is genetics. Each person's body reacts to steroids in different ways. If your friend needed to build muscle in 4-6 weeks, it does not guarantee that the same steroid will make you build muscle in that time. You could either achieve more muscle gain than him, or achieve nothing at all.
The second factor is the type of steroid. Each steroid has its own chemical structure that determines how it will work and how long it will take to achieve results.
The third factor is proper diet and exercise. Your body needs enough protein and nutrients to take advantage of PEDs and show results. If at least one of these factors is missing from the equation, the results will be obtained with a delay or reduced to a minimum.

A very important point is to give a training load that is suitable for you, which will stimulate muscle growth, but will not allow you to overtrain. Sometimes it takes many years to understand this. Just as important is the quality of your sleep and recovery, the amount of stress and other factors that can affect your results, both favorably and vice versa. No one can give you exact numbers, not even an approximate result.

Steroids themselves act on each body individually, primarily because of your genetic characteristics, such as the number of androgen receptors and their sensitivity. An important factor is the individual selection of drugs and dosages. It may well turn out that in the search for this selection it will also take you more than one year and you will not find the most suitable drug for yourself right away, but as soon as you do this, you will get an excellent result. Often young athletes use high dosages and do not monitor blood readings- this is another possible reason why your body may react badly to AS even though you think everything should be going well.

In general, but very truthful phrase - sometimes by adjusting nutrition, training, regiment and making the right decisions in the use of PEDs under the guidance of an experienced specialist - a beginner can gain 20 kg of muscle mass in the first year, and often under such circumstances an athlete can gain and up to +15 kg of total mass for the first cycle (of cycle part of this mass is water, and sometimes fat, when we are not talking about a clean set).

Why 8 Weeks

A medium durations cycles 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.

We usually try to recommend cycles of 12 weeks, but since oral anabolic steroids will be used in this cycle, we recommend shortening the cycle to 8 weeks. Oral anabolic agents have an effect on the liver, as they pass through the liver during metabolism. Oral steroids must pass through liver enzymes to be activated in the body. This leads to an increased load on the liver and can cause an increase in liver enzyme levels, which indicates stress on this organ. For this reason, cycles using oral anabolic agents cannot be prolonged. It is recommended to limit their duration to 8 weeks in order to reduce the load on the liver and minimize the risk of complications.

An 8-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 3-5 kg of muscle mass while simultaneously burning 2-3 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.

Description

For those embarking on their first cycle, the combination of Andarine (S4) with testosterone, Arimidyn and HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is an ideal starting point. The first cycle must necessarily include a compound that is mild enough to minimize side effects, and Andarine fits this requirement perfectly. Alongside Andarine, testosterone is essential to ensure balanced hormone levels throughout the cycle. It's crucial to understand that any cycle without testosterone is incorrect and can lead to significant side effects, as testosterone should always be present in your blood, regardless of the other compounds used.

Andarine is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) known for its gentle nature, making it an excellent choice for individuals seeking effective results without the harsh side effects associated with stronger anabolic steroids. This makes it especially suitable for beginners or those looking to experiment with less aggressive performance-enhancing options. In this cycle, Andarine plays a crucial role in promoting lean muscle growth and fat loss, providing a noticeable boost in muscle definition and overall physique enhancement.

When combined with testosterone, HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) and Arimidyn, Andarine helps create a synergistic effect, where each compound complements the other to maximize results. Testosterone ensures that your hormone levels remain balanced throughout the cycle, while HCG supports the body's natural testosterone production and helps prevent testicular atrophy. Arimidyn plays a crucial role in managing estrogen levels, reducing the risk of estrogen-related side effects like gynecomastia. Together, these four compounds form a cycle that is effective yet gentle, providing a solid foundation for beginners or those looking for a milder approach to performance enhancement.

Risks of Side Effects

While this combination is designed to be a relatively mild and balanced cycle, there are still potential risks of side effects that users should be aware of. Depending on the individual and the dosage, Andarine (S4) may cause temporary visual impairments. These can include the appearance of a yellowish tint, impaired night vision, difficulty adapting to changes in brightness, and even blurred vision. Fortunately, these side effects typically disappear almost immediately after discontinuing the drug, but they can still be inconvenient during the cycle.

Testosterone, while essential for maintaining hormonal balance, carries its own risks, particularly related to estrogen conversion. Elevated estrogen levels can lead to side effects like water retention, gynecomastia (development of breast tissue in men), and mood swings. This is where Arimidex plays a crucial role by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for converting testosterone to estrogen. However, improper dosing of Arimidex can lead to excessively low estrogen levels, resulting in joint pain, fatigue, and a decreased libido.

The inclusion of HCG in the cycle helps maintain natural testosterone production and prevents testicular atrophy, but it can also increase estrogen levels if not properly managed. Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) is crucial once the cycle is complete to help the body restore its natural hormone production and mitigate potential side effects. Without a proper PCT, there is a significant risk of losing the gains made during the cycle and experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, depression, and loss of muscle mass. Therefore, planning and adhering to a thorough PCT protocol is essential to ensure long-term health and the sustainability of your results.

How to use

Below we will explain exactly how all products should be used in this cycle

Testosterone

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 one do injection once per week, or divide the injections into 2, for example, on Monday and Thursday or on other days.

Andarine (S4)

Andarine (S4) is administered orally. The recommended dosage for this cycle is 25-50 mg per day, split into two doses—one in the morning and one in the evening. Due to its short half-life, it’s important to maintain consistent timing with your doses to keep the compound's levels stable in your body. Begin with a lower dose to assess your tolerance and gradually increase as needed. Andarine can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may help minimize any potential stomach discomfort. It's crucial to stick to the recommended dosage and monitor for any side effects, such as visual disturbances, which are typically temporary and subside after discontinuation.

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.

Cycle products description

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 Arimidyn, which reduces the impact of estradiol on fat tissue increase, this effect will be more pronounced.

Andarine (S4)

Andarine, commonly known as S4, is a versatile and potent Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM) widely used by athletes and bodybuilders to enhance performance, promote lean muscle mass, and accelerate fat loss. As a selective agent, S4 binds primarily to androgen receptors in muscle and bone tissues, minimizing its impact on other organs, which results in a lower risk of unwanted side effects commonly associated with traditional anabolic steroids.

S4 is particularly effective at promoting muscle hardness, enhancing vascularity, and improving overall muscle definition, making it a prime choice for those looking to achieve a dry, well-defined physique. Its ability to support fat loss while preserving lean muscle mass during cutting phases further cements its reputation as a go-to SARM for athletes aiming for body recomposition.

Andarine is also an excellent option for beginners due to its mild yet effective nature. It allows those new to performance-enhancing substances to experience gains in muscle mass and strength without the harsh side effects often associated with more potent compounds. This makes S4 a safer and more approachable choice for those starting their journey in body enhancement.

In addition to its muscle-building and fat-loss benefits, Andarine contributes to improved bone mineral density, supporting overall skeletal strength and resilience—an essential factor during intensive training. One of the unique advantages of S4 is its protective effect on the prostate. As a partial agonist of androgen receptors in prostate cells, S4 binds to these receptors without activating them, effectively blocking DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) from attaching and preventing prostate growth.

Effects of Andarine (S4)

● Significant Muscle Mass Increase

● Enhanced Strength

● Reduced Body Fat

● Prostate Protection

● Improved Bone Mineral Density

● Minimal Side Effects

● Suitable for Both Men and Women

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: gynecomastia, 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 its 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”.

This cycle can be used as your first cycle, the second, or if you like orals medications, forfurthercyclesforsomespecificpurposeswithoutstrivingforprofessionalcompetition.

Somatropin (Human growth hormone)

You can add an additional component to this cycle that will significantly increase the efficiency of your cycle. We did not include it in the main list of drugs due to the fact that it is an expensive component and not everyone can afford to buy it, so we decided to make the inclusion of Somatropin in your cycle an optional solution.

What is Somatropin

Growth hormone is a hormone that regulates the growth of bone tissues and muscles, controls the increase of collagen in the body, and influences metabolism. Somatotropin supports lipid metabolism and slows down aging processes in older age.

Many systems in the body are influenced by the effects of growth hormone, as cellular growth influences various metabolic processes. It affects not only lipids but also bone tissues. However, the most significant process influenced by somatotropin is fat metabolism. Therefore, during periods of energy deprivation, growth hormone utilizes lipids as the primary source of fuel to sustain the body.

Benefits of Growth Hormone

Growth hormone stimulates protein synthesis in muscles. Protein is the fundamental building block of muscles and plays a crucial role in muscle growth and development. Increased protein synthesis allows athletes to improve their physical fitness and achieve maximum muscle growth. Growth hormone promotes accelerated regeneration of all damaged tissues, including muscles. This enables athletes to recover more quickly after workouts, preventing overtraining and muscle cell breakdown. This contributes to more effective physical exercise and enhances sports performance.

Growth hormone contributes to increased bone mass and density. This is particularly important for athletes and bodybuilders, as it enhances their strength and resistance to injuries. It enhances the body's ability to recover. Growth hormone has a powerful anabolic effect, promoting tissue recovery after injury or physical stress. It stimulates collagen synthesis, facilitating rapid wound healing, muscle and tendon recovery, as well as bone and ligament repair.

Strengthens the immune system. Somatotropin plays a vital role in maintaining normal immune system function. It increases the quantity and activity of immune cells, such as leukocytes and neutrophils, helping the body effectively cope with infectious and inflammatory processes.

Improves the condition of the skin and hair. Growth hormone contributes to skin cell renewal, stimulates collagen synthesis, making the skin more firm and elastic. It also promotes healthy hair growth and strengthens their structure.

Positively influences brain function. It has a protective effect on brain neurons and promotes the growth and development of nerve cells, improving cognitive functions, memory, attention span, and mood.

Effects

● Increases strength and muscle mass

● Increases bone density

● Accelerates the regeneration of injuries of tendons

● Improves the condition of hair, skin and nails

● Neuroprotective effect

● Improves immunity

● Burns fat

● Improves sleep

Powder or Liquid form

Human Growth Hormone is produced in two forms: Somatropin growth hormone in liquid form and Somatropin growth hormone in powder. The main difference between the forms of somatropin growth hormone , liquid and powder, is that there are 2 vials in liquid form that contain the finished liquid and they can be used immediately. And powder form, contains 10 vials with powder and 10 ampoules of water for mixing.

Athletes usually use from 2 to 12 IU per day, depending on the athlete's level of training and the body's response to growth hormone. We recommend starting with 3 IU per day, giving an injection before bedtime.
