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 individuals new to performance enhancement or those seeking a cycle with minimal side effects, the combination of Testosterone, Methacetos (Methenolone Acetate), Arimidyn, and HCG offers a gentle yet effective solution. This particular cycle is ideal for beginners or those who prioritize a cautious approach while still aiming for noticeable improvements in physique and strength.
Methacetos (Methenolone Acetate) is renowned for its mild anabolic properties, which make it one of the safest steroids in terms of androgenic side effects. It facilitates gradual and sustainable muscle growth, making it an excellent choice for users who prefer a steady approach. Unlike more potent anabolic steroids, Methacetos is less likely to cause water retention or aggressive side effects, making it especially suitable for those looking to refine muscle tone and improve body composition, particularly during cutting or recomposition phases.
Testosterone plays a critical role in this cycle by ensuring that your hormonal levels remain stable and optimal, which is essential to avoid imbalances that could lead to adverse effects. HCG is included to support the body’s natural testosterone production, preventing testicular shrinkage and maintaining normal testicular function during the cycle. Arimidyn helps regulate estrogen levels, reducing the risk of estrogen-related side effects such as gynecomastia, which can occur due to the aromatization of testosterone.
The synergy between Testosterone, Methacetos (Methenolone Acetate), Arimidyn, and HCG provides a well-rounded cycle that balances safety with efficacy. This combination is especially suited for those who are cautious about potential side effects and prefer a softer introduction to performance enhancement. It offers a reliable foundation for achieving muscle definition and strength gains while minimizing risks, making it a perfect choice for those who value a balanced and careful approach to their enhancement journey.
Risks of Side Effects
When using Methacetos (Methenolone Acetate) in a cycle, users can generally expect a mild experience with fewer severe side effects compared to stronger anabolic steroids. However, it’s important to remain aware of potential risks. Methacetos may cause mild androgenic effects, such as oily skin or slight hair thinning, especially in individuals who are sensitive to androgens. Fortunately, Methacetos does not convert to estrogen, so issues like water retention and gynecomastia are less likely, making it a safer choice for those concerned about estrogen-related side effects. Additionally, Methacetos can impact cholesterol levels by lowering HDL (good cholesterol) and raising LDL (bad cholesterol), increasing cardiovascular risk over time. While it is not highly hepatotoxic, oral forms of Methacetos could still strain the liver, so users should monitor alcohol intake and consider liver support. Lastly, Methacetos, like other anabolic agents, can suppress natural testosterone production, leading to decreased libido, fatigue, and mood changes if not managed properly. Incorporating HCG and following a thorough Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) are essential for restoring hormone balance and maintaining long-term health after the cycle.
Testosterone, while essential for maintaining hormonal balance, carries its own risks, particularly related to its conversion to estrogen. Elevated estrogen levels can lead to side effects such as water retention, gynecomastia (the development of breast tissue in men), and mood swings. This is where Arimidex becomes crucial, as it inhibits the aromatase enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into estrogen. However, improper dosing of Arimidex can result in excessively low estrogen levels, which might lead to joint pain, fatigue, and decreased libido.
After completing the cycle, Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) is crucial to help the body restore its natural hormone production and mitigate potential side effects. Without a proper PCT, there is a risk of losing the gains made during the cycle and experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, such as fatigue, depression, and loss of muscle mass.
Advantages of This Cycle
● Lower risk of severe androgenic or estrogenic side effects.
● Excellent for cutting cycles, helping to maintain muscle mass while losing fat.
● Limited water retention ensures a more defined, aesthetic physique.
● Stability in mood and libido
● Low risk of liver toxicity
The Methacetos-based cycle is a highly effective option for those seeking a gentle yet productive anabolic experience. It promotes lean muscle gains, fat loss, and muscle definition while minimizing the risk of significant side effects. Proper management, including the use of HCG and a well-planned PCT, is essential to ensure the cycle's success and maintain long-term health and hormonal balance. This cycle offers an excellent balance of benefits and safety, making it a popular choice for both beginners and those seeking a less aggressive approach to performance enhancement.
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.
Methacetos (Methenolone Acetate)
Methacetos in oral form is typically taken as pills. The recommended dosage is 25 mg per day, which can be taken in a single dose or split into two smaller doses (e.g., morning and evening) to maintain more consistent blood levels. It is important to take Methacetos at the same time each day to ensure stable levels of the compound in your system. Since Methacetos has a mild impact on the liver, it's advisable to take it with food to reduce any potential gastrointestinal discomfort. Regular monitoring of your health, including liver function and cholesterol levels, is recommended during the cycle to ensure safety and effectiveness.
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.
Methacetos (Methenolone acetate)
Methacetos (Methenolone acetate) is an anabolic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone (DHT) with mild androgenic activity and moderate anabolic properties. Unlike its counterpart, Methenolone Enanthate (commonly known as Primobolan), Methenolone acetate is the oral form of this steroid, characterized by a shorter duration of action and a unique profile of effects.
Methenolone acetate is primarily used in scenarios where muscle preservation is critical, such as during cutting cycles or in medical treatments for conditions leading to muscle wasting. Its mechanism of action involves binding to androgen receptors in various tissues, including muscle, where it promotes protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. This results in the maintenance of lean muscle mass, even when the body is in a calorie deficit or under catabolic stress.
One of the most distinctive features of Methenolone acetate is its lack of aromatization, meaning it does not convert to estrogen in the body. This eliminates the risk of estrogenic side effects like gynecomastia (development of breast tissue in men) and water retention, which are common with many other anabolic steroids. This property makes Methenolone acetate especially popular among athletes and bodybuilders during the cutting phase when maintaining a lean, dry physique is essential.
Methenolone acetate, in its oral form, has a significantly shorter half-life of around 5 hours, which necessitates more frequent dosing to maintain stable blood levels. Despite this inconvenience and the higher cost associated with the oral form, it remains a popular choice for those who prefer to avoid injections. Additionally, unlike most oral steroids, Methenolone acetate is not hepatotoxic, meaning it does not pose the same risk of liver damage, making it a safer option for long-term use.
In terms of anabolic effects, Methenolone acetate is considered relatively mild, which can be both an advantage and a limitation depending on the user's goals. It is not the best choice for those seeking significant muscle mass gains. Instead, it excels in preserving muscle mass during calorie-restricted phases, making it ideal for cutting cycles. The anabolic effects of Methenolone acetate are often compared to those of Nandrolone, though with a slightly less pronounced effect on muscle mass and a more favorable safety profile.
Methenolone acetate's impact on natural testosterone production is also milder compared to many other anabolic steroids. While it does suppress endogenous testosterone, the effect is less severe than with stronger steroids like Testosterone or Nandrolone. Studies suggest that a daily oral dose of 40 mg of Methenolone acetate can reduce testosterone levels by approximately 50%, which is moderate but still requires attention, particularly during prolonged cycles. In such cases, it is advisable to include gonadotropin to prevent testicular atrophy and ensure a smoother recovery of natural testosterone levels post-cycle.
The safety profile of Methenolone acetate is one of its most appealing aspects. It does not significantly raise blood pressure, nor does it negatively affect cholesterol levels to a great extent, making it a safer option for those concerned with cardiovascular health. Moreover, its low androgenic activity minimizes the risk of androgenic side effects such as excessive hair loss or acne. However, users may still experience side effects like increased aggression, excitability, and insomnia, particularly at higher doses.
Effects of Methacetos (Methenolone acetate)
● Muscle preservation
● Improved muscle hardness
● Enhanced protein synthesis
● Increased nitrogen retention
● No estrogenic side effects
● Mild anabolic effects
● Minimal testosterone suppression
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.
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.
