Blasting, cycling, frontloading, pyramids.. share your tactics

[ArmaniAK47]

How do YOU cycle your steroids?

Do you front load?

Do you use long duration with lower dose?

What do you do? What have you done?

What are you thinking about trying?

--and what is blasting? I hear that a lot.

 

[goal245]

12 week cycle followed by 6 weeks off to clean receptors, don't care about recovering hpta as I will be competing on the national level next year and will proboly have to start blasting and cruising to maintain my 235lb contest muscle.

--and what is blasting? I hear that a lot.

Blasting is where you stay on a hrt dose of say 200mg test a week and the Blast with a cycle of 750 test 600 deca or whatever and then go back to 200mg test for a while.

I sometimes taper the dose up when at the end of a cycle because the gains start to stall. I also see how good my tolerance is for sides and then increase it a bit. And sometimes the last week or 2 I'll run a weaker compound or taper down the dose. I know theres really no reason to do it as I have read on here, but lots of guys do it and it works fine.

No HRT yet for me, too young and still want to have kids (stupid me lol)

Depends what you use:

Frontloading -

I always front load sustanon because of the test prop and phenylprop in there. If im running 500mg for a cycle of 12 weeks, id frontload 1000mg for the first 2 weeks. On that point, people who run sustanon for the test prop in there....if you want test prop - use test prop, sustanon is basically thr same as test e or test c. It does kick in a little quicker, exp if front loaded.

Same goes with other test, but id use test prop ontop of the test i use for the first 2-3 weeks. Test 500mg a week, split into 2 shots along with 150mg of test prop with each shot.

Have frontloaded eq aswell, didnt really effect it that much though as that takes a good 4 weeks to kick in anyway!!!

Tapering down:

I usually drop my dosages a bit before comming off and NEVER come off everything at the same time. Adding in something like anavar could help here too, i think its a bad idea just going cold turkey. Tapering down is easier on the system. Im no doctor but each to there own.

Pyramid dbol sometimes but thats about it.

so with sust you would reccomend just using a much larger dosage to frontload the cycle, you wouldnt rec prop ? is this cus its dif to keep stable levels ?

With the test e, you'd do 2 shots of prop a week of 150mg would it be better to split this dosage say 75mg eod ?
thanks

I pick my compounds very strategically for the given cycle based on my goals and cycle on and off correctly because I am too young to be on HRT, Plus I want to have kids.

An example of one of my upcoming cycles will be.

Week 1-20 Test c 250mg
Week 1-16 Eq 600mg
Week 1-4 Anadrol 100mg ed
Week 5-10 NPP 100 mg eod
Week 16-22 Winny 60mg eod.

With this kind of cycle I can get very nice "transitions" from each compound.

The first 4 weeks are serious bulking with the anadrol. The next 6 weeks is all about volume training with the NPP and getting that big look on. By week 10 the EQ starts hitting so it is back to 6 weeks of shaping and defining. The last 6-7 weeks is about cutting. Then go into PCT.

It is an all around cycle. Bulk, Volume, Shape, Cut. All in one.

 

[nickb86]

thats sounds sweet texas your way more advanced and have a more defined goal than me who just wants decent size, im not too keen on dbol 1stly for damage and stress it is supposed to cause, and alos because i have never ran anything and would like to know what each compound feels and acts like and to let my already battered body adapt to each one, and if i do run a combo il know what each one is doing and whether its working, hence if i frontload it wil be with test on a test cycle. Figure i could get a good feeling of both test e and p, building up and taking affect this way.
I also dont wana alert people to the fact im growing im a great liar but even i would have trouble explaining why i have doubled in size in 4 weeks lol

Lol just tell em it's the creatine
Good theory too, test the waters one compound at a time then you can determine which compounds make you feel certain ways..

Texas, that's a sick cycle, I really want to try Anadrol but I am scared it will leave me with wicked back pumps that counter my abilities to work, what do you think?


Ride it like you stole it!!

 

[the_alcatraz]

1000 mgs of TEST E / week for 4 months
1250 mgs of TEST Suspension / week for 1 month
1000 mgs of TEST E / week for 4 months
1250 mgs of Test suspension / week for 1 month

Rinse. Repeat.

The first time I tried Anadrol honestly I could only make it 2 weeks!!!!!

The pumps on it are crazy and you will start to explode immidiatley especially in strength gains.

In the first week I went from deadlifting 445 10times to 495 10 times.

If you are worried about the back pumps ( which are pretty intense ) Just remember to stretch really well after a workout and incorporate the foam roller in there. That thing works wonders. That should leave you limber enough to where it will not counter act your work. Also remember to drink abour 2 gallons of fluids a day while on anadrol to help with the kidneys and liver. This also helps with the back pumps as well.

Some other good stretches for your back pump are.

1) get in the hyper extension machine and just hang for 30 seconds.
2) grab a pull up bar palms facing forward and hang for 10 seconds. Then using your feet slowly twist your torso. This will feel amazing on your back.
3) upward dog and downward dog.
4) childs pose

Gives these a try for your back pumps and I bet you will not be afraid of the A bombs no more.

It is going to be a pretty sick winter cycle placing me right about the start of summer pre contest prep.

The next cycle after that is going to be a lot simpler though
Week 1-14 Test c 250 mg
Week 1-10 Tren e 300mg
Week 1-10 Mast e 400mg
Week 11-16 Var 60 mg ed

I love the way this is set up but I'd rather do dbol over abombs naysay lol. I hear mixed things about NPP, though. Did you like it?

why only 250mg of test ?

1000 mgs of TEST E / week for 4 months

Wow, that's a lot of test....

 

[Texas Monster]

@pound for pound........

Npp works great. It gives me all the benefits of Deca except for that long ass clearing period which is where all the side effects come in. IMO with Nandralone it is best to get it in and get it out as quick as you can. Running 6-8 weeks of NPP will give you the same results as running deca for 10 weeks but after the 6-8 weeks your prolactin is able to come back into check really quick and you can either move on with your cycle or transistion into PCT a little bit easier. I hate how deca lingers but I love the pumps and the size from it.

@columbo
I only want to run a small trt amount of test during my cycles because I am gyno prone. So I would rather just have a little bit of test in there to make me feel good on cycle and let all the other compounds do there job. When I ran one cycle with 500mg test in there I retained a lot of water weight the entire cycle even though I was taking an AI. It took me a couple months to diet it off. So From now on I will just stick with a TRT amount of test and just stack in other compounds. I know there is more of a synergystic effect with 500mg test 600 mg eq. Who knows I might start slowly increasing my test dosage on this cycle depending on estro but will probably stick as planned and just run a small amount of test.

Ok my man, enjoy the cycle.
