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 considering their first cycle or seeking a milder approach to performance enhancement, a combination of Testosterone, Ostarine (MK-2866), Arimidyn, and HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) offers an excellent starting point. This cycle is carefully designed to minimize the risk of side effects while still providing noticeable results, making it particularly suitable for beginners or those interested in experimenting with gentler compounds.

Ostarine, much like Andarine, is a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM), but it is recognized for being even softer in its androgenic effects. This makes it one of the most user-friendly SARMs, ideal for those aiming to enhance muscle definition and support lean muscle growth without the severe side effects often linked to stronger anabolic steroids. Ostarine primarily aids in maintaining muscle mass during caloric deficits, improves recovery, and contributes to overall physique improvement.

In this cycle, the combination of Ostarine with Testosterone ensures that hormonal balance is maintained throughout, as Testosterone plays a critical role in preventing hormonal imbalances and creating an optimal anabolic environment in the body. The addition of HCG helps preserve the body's natural testosterone production, reducing the risk of testicular atrophy that can occur when endogenous testosterone levels drop due to exogenous supplementation.

Arimidyn is incorporated to manage estrogen levels, as the use of external testosterone can lead to increased estrogen, raising the risk of side effects like gynecomastia. Arimidyn keeps these estrogenic effects under control, ensuring a balanced hormonal profile and reducing the likelihood of unwanted consequences.

Together, this combination of Testosterone, Ostarine, Arimidyn, and HCG forms a comprehensive and beginner-friendly cycle. It is designed to be effective while remaining gentle, making it an ideal option for those new to performance-enhancing substances or those seeking a milder alternative to more intense cycles. While the results may be less dramatic compared to more potent compounds, the focus on safety and reduced side effects makes this cycle a reliable choice for sustainable progress.

Risks of Side Effects

While the combination of Ostarine (MK-2866) with Testosterone, Arimidyn, and HCG is intended to be a mild and balanced cycle, there are still potential side effects that users should consider. Ostarine is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience mild side effects, particularly at higher doses or with prolonged use. Although Ostarine is less likely to cause significant suppression of natural testosterone production compared to stronger anabolic steroids, there is still a risk. This is why the inclusion of exogenous Testosterone and HCG in the cycle is important to maintain hormonal balance and support natural testosterone production. Some users report experiencing joint pain or discomfort while on Ostarine, particularly when taken at higher doses. This is often due to the compound’s impact on reducing water retention around the joints. Ostarine can sometimes cause mild headaches and fatigue, particularly in the initial stages of the cycle as the body adjusts to the compound.

While Testosterone is essential for maintaining hormonal balance during the cycle, it can lead to side effects related to estrogen conversion. Elevated estrogen levels can cause water retention, gynecomastia (development of breast tissue in men), and mood swings. This is why Arimidyn is included in the cycle; it acts by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. However, improper dosing of Arimidyn could result in excessively low estrogen levels, leading to joint pain, fatigue, and decreased libido.

The inclusion of HCG helps maintain natural testosterone production and prevents testicular atrophy. However, improper management of HCG dosing could increase estrogen levels, exacerbating the risk of estrogen-related side effects.

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

● Preservation of Lean Muscle Mass

● Fat Loss Promotion

● Mild Side Effects

● Improved Recovery

● Stabilized Libido and Hormonal Balance

● Reduced Water Retention

This cycle is designed to provide a well-rounded approach to performance enhancement, offering significant benefits such as muscle preservation and fat loss with minimal risks. It is particularly suitable for those new to SARMs or those looking for a less aggressive option for achieving their fitness goals.

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.

Ostarine (MK-2866)

Ostarine is taken orally, making it convenient and easy to administer. The recommended dosage typically ranges from 10 mg to 25 mg per day, depending on your experience level and goals. Ostarine should be taken once daily, ideally at the same time each day to maintain stable blood levels. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with a meal may help with absorption and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort.

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.

Ostarine (MK-2866)

Ostarine, also known as MK-2866, is a highly regarded Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM) that has gained significant popularity in the bodybuilding community due to its unique profile of being both effective and mild. Originally developed by GTx Inc. in 1997 for the treatment of muscle wasting diseases and osteoporosis, Ostarine stands out as one of the safest and most thoroughly researched SARMs available. Its ability to selectively target androgen receptors in muscle and bone tissue while minimizing impact on other tissues makes it a superior option for those seeking the benefits of anabolic steroids without the associated risks.

One of the defining features of Ostarine is its selective action on androgen receptors, which reduces the likelihood of unwanted side effects such as prostate enlargement or hair loss—common issues with more potent anabolic steroids. This selectivity allows users to experience significant muscle gains, increased strength, and enhanced recovery, all while minimizing the risk of adverse effects. Unlike traditional anabolic steroids, which can cause broad systemic effects, Ostarine’s targeted action ensures that it predominantly affects muscle and bone tissue, making it a safer alternative.

In the bodybuilding world, Ostarine is primarily used during cutting cycles to preserve lean muscle mass while reducing body fat. Its ability to enhance muscle retention during calorie deficits makes it particularly valuable for athletes looking to achieve a leaner, more defined physique. Additionally, Ostarine is also used in bulking phases, though the muscle gains are more moderate compared to those achieved with stronger SARMs or anabolic steroids. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals new to performance-enhancing substances or those looking for a less aggressive approach.

Ostarine’s mild nature sets it apart from other SARMs and anabolic steroids. While stronger SARMs and steroids can offer more rapid and substantial muscle gains, they often come with a higher risk of side effects, such as liver toxicity, cardiovascular strain, and hormonal imbalances. Ostarine, on the other hand, offers a safer profile with fewer and milder side effects, making it an attractive option for those who prioritize health and safety alongside their fitness goals.

Another key difference is its lack of significant androgenic effects. Unlike anabolic steroids, which can cause androgenic side effects like acne, hair loss, and aggression, Ostarine’s selective action minimizes these risks. This makes it suitable for a wider range of users, including women, who are often more susceptible to these side effects.

Effects of Ostarine (MK-2866)

● Muscle Mass Preservation

● Moderate Muscle Gains

● Increased Strength

● Improved Bone Mineral Density

● Fat Reduction

● Enhanced Recovery

● Joint Support

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.

Liver Support (TUDCA)

Athletes using anabolic steroids, especially oral ones, subject their liver to significant stress. Oral steroids pass through the liver, which can cause an increase in liver enzymes and tissue damage due to their toxicity. This is why the use of hepatoprotectors becomes a vital element of any steroid cycle. Hepatoprotectors help protect the liver from oxidative stress, inflammation, and damage, ensuring its normal function and reducing the risk of serious complications like hepatitis or fibrosis.

One of the best hepatoprotectors for athletes is TUDCA (tauroursodeoxycholic acid). TUDCA has powerful protective effects on the liver and promotes the regeneration of damaged liver cells. It is recommended to take TUDCA in a dosage ranging from 500 to 1500 mg per day, depending on the level of liver stress and the athlete's overall condition. The proper dosage can be determined by regular blood tests, particularly by monitoring liver enzymes — ALT (alanine aminotransferase) and AST (aspartate aminotransferase). These enzymes indicate liver health, and elevated levels signal liver cell damage, highlighting the need for hepatoprotectors.

Failing to use hepatoprotectors during a cycle of oral anabolic steroids can lead to severe health consequences. The primary risk is the development of toxic liver damage, which may manifest as a significant elevation in liver enzymes (ALT and AST) in the blood. Without proper protection, the liver can become inflamed, leading to the destruction of hepatocytes (liver cells). This can result in conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and even fibrosis, which, in more severe cases, may progress to cirrhosis. Additionally, elevated bilirubin levels could cause jaundice and deterioration in overall health, negatively affecting both athletic performance and long-term health.

Preventing these consequences through the timely use of hepatoprotectors like TUDCA greatly reduces risks and helps preserve liver health, even with extended steroid use.
