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, the combination of Testosterone with Turinadyn, Arimidyn, and HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) offers a potent yet controlled approach to performance enhancement. This cycle is well-suited not only for beginners but also for advanced users, particularly those who prefer oral forms of steroids. It provides a balanced foundation for increasing strength and lean muscle mass without excessive water retention, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking to improve their physique with minimal side effects.
Turinadyn is a powerful oral anabolic steroid known for its ability to promote lean, dry muscle gains. It is chemically similar to methandrostenolone but with a key modification that prevents it from converting to estrogen, eliminating the risk of water retention and estrogen-related side effects. While the gains in strength and weight with Turinadyn may develop more gradually, they are typically more solid, reliable, and lasting, making it a favored choice among athletes aiming for sustainable results.
A key feature of Turinadyn is its lack of estrogenic effects, which reduces the risk of side effects like gynecomastia and fluid accumulation. Furthermore, Turinadyn decreases the concentration of Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG), leading to higher levels of free testosterone in the blood. This enhances the overall effectiveness of the cycle. Also, there is some research and opinions suggesting that Turinadyn may exhibit fibrinolytic properties, which could help decrease the risk of blood clot formation in blood vessels and the heart. Additionally, Turinadyn has earned the informal nickname "sex drug" due to its ability to significantly increase libido, making it unique among oral steroids.
The combination of Testosterone, Turinadyn (Turinabol), Arimidyn, and HCG is ideal for both newcomers to performance enhancement and advanced users seeking an effective oral-based cycle. This regimen offers significant gains in strength and muscle mass while minimizing the risk of side effects, making it a smart and balanced choice for those aiming for substantial yet controlled progress in their fitness journey.
Risks of Side Effects
While the combination of Testosterone, Turinadyn, Arimidyn, and HCG is generally considered a balanced and effective cycle, users should be aware of potential side effects. Turinadyn, though milder compared to other anabolic steroids, can still pose risks depending on individual response and dosage. Some users may experience liver strain due to Turinadyn being an oral steroid, as it is processed through the liver. It's important to monitor liver function during the cycle through regular blood tests to avoid any adverse effects.
Turinadyn does not convert to estrogen, which eliminates the risk of estrogen-related side effects like water retention and gynecomastia. However, because it can increase the levels of free testosterone, it may still cause androgenic side effects such as acne, hair loss, and increased body hair growth, particularly in individuals predisposed to these conditions.
Testosterone in this cycle helps maintain hormonal balance but also carries risks related to its conversion to estrogen. Elevated estrogen levels can lead to side effects like water retention, gynecomastia, and mood swings. Arimidyn is used to manage these risks by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, preventing excess estrogen production. However, incorrect dosing of Arimidyn could lead to overly suppressed estrogen levels, resulting in joint pain, fatigue, and a decreased libido.
The inclusion of HCG in the cycle is crucial for maintaining natural testosterone production and preventing testicular atrophy. However, improper use of HCG can elevate estrogen levels, which necessitates careful management. Regular blood tests to monitor hormone levels during the cycle are essential to adjust dosages appropriately and prevent complications.

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.
Turinadyn (Turinabol)
Turinadyn is taken orally. The typical dosage ranges between 20-50 mg per day, depending on individual goals and tolerance. Due to its half-life of 12-16 hours, it's advisable to split the daily dosage into 2-3 doses throughout the day to maintain stable blood levels. For best results, take Turinadyn with meals to enhance absorption and reduce the potential for gastrointestinal discomfort. It's recommended to monitor your response closely and adjust the dosage accordingly. Regular blood tests are important to assess liver function during the cycle.
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
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.
Turinadyn (Turinabol) is a unique anabolic steroid that has garnered attention for its ability to provide solid, lean muscle gains without the estrogenic side effects commonly associated with other steroids like methandrostenolone. Structurally, Turinabol is similar to methandrostenolone but features a crucial modification: the addition of a chlorine atom at the fourth carbon position. This alteration prevents the compound from undergoing aromatization, which means it does not convert to estrogen in the body. As a result, users of Turinadyn do not experience the rapid water retention or estrogen-related side effects, such as gynecomastia, that are often seen with other steroids. Instead, the gains made on a Turinadyn cycle tend to be more gradual, yet more solid, reliable, and permanent.
One of the most significant advantages of Turinadyn is its ability to enhance muscle mass and strength without the bloating or fluid retention typically associated with anabolic steroid use. This makes it an ideal choice for athletes looking to achieve a more defined, "dry" physique. Moreover, Turinadyn's impact on muscle hardness and vascularity is highly valued during cutting cycles, where the goal is to maintain muscle mass while shedding body fat. Unlike methandrostenolone, which can lead to a puffy, water-heavy appearance, Turinadyn helps create a leaner, more chiseled look, making it a popular choice for those focused on body composition and aesthetics.
Another distinctive feature of Turinadyn is its effect on free testosterone levels. During a Turinadyn cycle, the concentration of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) decreases, which increases the amount of free testosterone available in the body. This enhancement of free testosterone not only boosts the effectiveness of Turinadyn itself but also amplifies the effects of any other anabolic compounds used concurrently in a cycle. Additionally, some scientific evidence suggests that Turinadyn may possess fibrinolytic properties, potentially helping to reduce the risk of blood clot formation in blood vessels and the heart.
Turinadyn is also known informally as the "sex drug" due to its notable ability to increase libido more significantly than other oral steroids. This makes it a favorite among users looking to maintain or even enhance their sexual health during a cycle. However, it's important to note that, like other oral steroids, Turinadyn is alpha-17-alkylated, which means it can be toxic to the liver. Users must be vigilant about liver health, conducting regular blood tests to monitor liver enzymes and taking protective measures as needed to mitigate this risk.
While Turinadyn is often referred to as a "dry version" of Dianabol due to its structural similarities, it's crucial to recognize that it is its own distinct compound with unique properties. Unlike Dianabol, which can cause rapid muscle gain with significant water retention, Turinadyn provides a more gradual, sustainable increase in muscle mass without the accompanying water weight. This distinction makes Turinadyn an excellent option for those seeking to enhance their physique without the downsides of bloating and estrogenic side effects.
Effects of Turinadyn (Turinabol)
- Enhanced muscle definition
- Increased strength
- Improved endurance
- Accelerated fat loss
- Increased vascularity
- Enhanced muscle hardness
- Reduction in body fat percentage
- Increased free testosterone levels
- Improved recovery times
- Increased training intensity and focus
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.

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.

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.
