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 considering their first cycle or looking for a balanced approach to muscle growth and strength enhancement, the combination of Testosterone, Myostan (YK-11), Arimidyn, and HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) offers a potent yet manageable option. This cycle is particularly well-suited for beginners or advanced users who favor oral compounds and aim to achieve lean muscle gains without excessive water retention.
Myostan (YK-11) stands out as a powerful compound that, although it is often grouped with Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) for simplicity, is not a true SARM. Instead, it functions primarily as a myostatin inhibitor, allowing for significant muscle growth by overcoming the body's natural muscle-building limits. This unique mechanism of action sets YK-11 apart from other muscle-building agents, making it one of the most potent options available. YK-11 provides effects comparable to anabolic steroids but with a more controlled side-effect profile. It is especially effective for those looking to increase muscle mass and strength while simultaneously promoting fat loss, making it an excellent choice for those focused on lean muscle gains and strength improvement.
Testosterone plays a critical role in this cycle by maintaining hormone balance and preventing potential issues such as decreased energy or libido that can arise from hormonal imbalances. HCG is included to support the body's natural testosterone production and prevent testicular atrophy, helping to maintain overall hormonal health throughout the cycle.
Arimidyn is used to control estrogen levels, preventing estrogen-related side effects like gynecomastia, which can occur due to testosterone aromatization. This ensures that the cycle promotes lean muscle gains without unwanted water retention or fat accumulation.
In summary, the combination of Testosterone, Myostan (YK-11), Arimidyn, and HCG forms a powerful and balanced cycle designed to enhance muscle mass and strength while minimizing side effects. This regimen is ideal for those looking to achieve significant physical improvements in a controlled manner, offering a strong foundation for both beginners and more advanced users.
Risks of Side Effects
While the combination of Testosterone, Myostan (YK-11), Arimidyn, and HCG is designed to offer a potent yet controlled approach to muscle growth and strength enhancement, users should be aware of potential side effects associated with Myostan. YK-11 is a powerful SARM with characteristics similar to anabolic steroids due to its ability to inhibit myostan, a protein that limits muscle growth. However, its potency comes with some risks.
One of the primary concerns with YK-11 is its potential to suppress natural testosterone production. While HCG is included in the cycle to mitigate this risk, improper management or dosing of YK-11 can still lead to significant suppression, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, reduced libido, and even testicular atrophy. This underscores the importance of including HCG and planning a thorough Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) to restore natural hormone levels after the cycle.
Another potential side effect of YK-11 is its impact on joints and tendons. Some users have reported joint pain or discomfort, which may be due to the rapid increase in muscle mass without a corresponding increase in tendon strength. This can put additional strain on the joints, potentially leading to injuries if not carefully managed through appropriate training and supplementation.
In terms of estrogenic side effects, YK-11 does not aromatize, meaning it does not convert to estrogen. This reduces the risk of estrogen-related issues like gynecomastia and water retention. However, testosterone in the cycle can still aromatize, so Arimidyn is used to control estrogen levels. Improper dosing of Arimidyn can lead to excessively low estrogen levels, causing side effects such as joint pain, decreased libido, and mood swings.
Advantages of This Cycle
● YK-11 suppresses myostatin, allowing for more significant muscle growth.
● Strong anabolic properties
● Increased Muscle Density
● Enhanced Fat Loss
● Synergy with Testosterone
● Improved Strength
● Minimal Androgenic Side Effects
● No Estrogenic Activity
Including Myostan (YK-11) in the cycle brings these unique advantages, making it an excellent choice for those aiming to achieve significant muscle growth, improved strength, and a lean, defined physique, all while minimizing the risk of common side effects associated with other anabolic compounds.
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.
Myostan (YK-11)
Myostan (YK-11) is administered orally. The recommended dosage is usually around 10-15 mg per day, taken in a single dose or split into two doses (morning and evening) to maintain stable levels in the body. It’s important to take YK-11 with food to improve absorption. Since YK-11 can be potent, it's recommended to start at the lower end of the dosage range to assess tolerance before gradually increasing to the desired dose. After completing the cycle, ensure to follow a proper Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) to help restore natural hormone levels.
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.
Myostan (YK-11)
Myostan, also known as YK-11, is a unique and powerful muscle-building compound that has quickly gained attention in the bodybuilding community. Although it is often grouped with Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) for simplicity, YK-11 is not a true SARM. Instead, it functions primarily as a myostatin inhibitor, which sets it apart from other muscle-building agents.
Myostatin is a protein that naturally limits muscle growth by preventing the formation of new muscle fibers and reducing the rate of protein synthesis. YK-11 works by inhibiting this protein, effectively removing the body's natural cap on muscle development. This allows for accelerated muscle growth, making YK-11 an ideal choice for those looking to push beyond their genetic limits in terms of muscle mass.
Unlike traditional anabolic steroids, which can have broad systemic effects and significant side effects, Myostan targets muscle growth more specifically. While it interacts with androgen receptors like SARMs, it does not induce the typical androgenic side effects such as hair loss, prostate enlargement, or acne. This selective action makes YK-11 a potent yet safer alternative for those seeking substantial muscle gains.
Myostan’s benefits are particularly pronounced during bulking phases, where its ability to promote rapid muscle growth is most valued. However, it is also used in cutting cycles due to its ability to preserve lean muscle mass while reducing body fat. This versatility makes YK-11 a popular choice among bodybuilders and athletes alike.
Effects of Myostan (YK-11)
● Significant Muscle Growth
● Increased Strength
● Lean Muscle Development
● Minimal Androgenic Side Effects
● No Estrogenic Activity
● Fat Loss Support
● Enhanced Recovery
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.
