Too Much Science

The Iron Game

New member
When people look to construct a cycle nowadays they try and make science out of something that doesn’t need to be too complicated. I want to add winstrol, anavar, dianabol, test enanthate, deca or eq followed by primo and fina............ We have heard it all before. The reason people reach a plateau is because of a number of factors (diet, training, consistency etc) but once all have been ruled a person comes to realize there natural testosterone production isn’t high enough to keep on to the remaining muscle as well as adding new muscle. What I am about to discuss is only my opinion of the subject of cycling and I am not recommending that anyone use anabolic steroids if they are illegal in your country. I am trying not to get too scientific here and to keep the jargon simple.

When designing a cycle there are two basic ways that anabolic androgenic steroids work and when designing one from each of the modes should be used, for a synergy.

One mode of action: Strong affinity for the androgen receptor, steroids such as primobolan, eq, deca all fall into this category. Directly helping to increase protein synthesis and in turn more aminos forming new muscle tissue.

Other modes of action: steroids can also have a weak binding affinity to the androgen receptor and instead work through non ar mediated pathways. Steroids that fall into this category include anadrol, dianabol and winstrol.

Now by mixing one of each you are adding new muscle in two different ways, which would be more beneficial for anyone wishing to increase weight, or help to hold on to muscle while burning body fat.

So this is why there was the classic deca/dbol stack in which the guru himself said if you don’t grow on this you wont grow on anything. The problem with this is that nandrolone is not common in the body and flooding it with this can have or bring about a number of side effects that cannot easily be controlled. I’m not going to get in to a deca debate right now because this wasn’t the aim of the article.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could find a single steroid that works by both means, ar and non ar mediated effects. Well we can and testosterone is its name. There is another but testosterone can be used for longer periods of time and is safer to the body. So why do we stack when we have one steroid that can do both things? You want a cycle that is simple, very cheap and cost effective then testosterone would be the one. After all if we are producing it naturally and growing and then we don’t have enough to further grow, increasing test would cause a new burst of growth.

But they say testosterone is dangerous for a newbie, but they said testosterone would cause gyno and water retention and most of the gains from it are not solid. Lets see how sides occur when using testosterone.

>Increase in test leads to increase in estrogen conversion, which leads to water retention, gyno and female pattern fat distribution.

Ok simple we prevent the conversion from testosterone to estrogen. This is done by arimidex / liquidex which prevents the conversion of testosterone to estrogen via the enzyme aromatase

>Prostate and hair problems due to increase in DHT. By using finasteride we can prevent this conversion and thus not have to worry about prostate and hair loss problems related to DHT

The point with both arimidex and dht is that you must ensure you use sufficient doses of each.

>They say that when you stop testosterone you lose a lot of the gains made. This is not only the case with testosterone; it is the problem with any steroid that causes water retention. The more water you are holding the more water you will drop when stopping and thus the artificial losses fool people. However by using arimidex we are preventing excess water retention and thus you will only have the option of adding quality muscle.

People often ask what dose to use, how long to use it for, what gains will I make............This is a very individual thing and no two people are the same when it comes to talking about steroid use. Some may grow off 250mgs of testosterone / week and others may not get anything off it. The truth is everyone can see results on testosterone; it is mainly dose dependent. Having tried both higher and lower doses I am going to be sticking between 250 and 750mgs / week and would run between 6-10 weeks depending on which ester is being used. There comes a point when using more only intensifies the side effects (namely acne, increase in blood pressure and so on)

It is going to be the case that when you stop the testosterone that your natural production would have been inhibited and you are going to have to try and restart this as soon as possible in order to minimize losses. This is the case with any steroid not only testosterone.

Testosterone can either be raw (the case with suspension) or attached to an ester the most common of which are:

propionate,
phenlypropionate
cypionate
enanthate
decanoate

If we have 100mgs/ml of testosterone it is not 100% because in that concentration is the mollcular weight of the ester taking up space. The longer the ester the more weight it takes up and the less raw testosterone you are using. Being longer will also take longer to start showing results and improvements and also take longer to leave the system.

Decanoate, what is found in sustanon and omnadren as well as deca is the longest ester to use (apart from undecylenate found in eq) and is the one that will most likely to cause the greatest crashes. The exact time to start clomid is not known and the higher the dose used the longer the weight should be. For this reason I will only be using propionate and enanthate/cypionate in future cycles. There is a lot of outdated information on the internet and for this reason you will get a lot of people just shouting out incorrect information feeling it to be accurate.

Testosterone is Testosterone is Testosterone and any testosterone will aromatise so sustanon will not cause less bloat or less sides than enanthate. This is a myth.

I guess I have explained my point; testosterone really is best. Work with it and build up around it but never leave it out.

>Can test be used in a cutting cycle?

YES

>Can test be used in a bulking cycle?

YES

Think diet don’t Think drug

Peace
 
Nice post TIG, been a while!
 
WOW!! I truly think that this board needs an anabolic FAQ or other sort of central information hub for people (ie newbies) to reference before asking the board the same question over and over. And THIS is the exact type of post that should be included in that, as well as TIG's clomid article.

karma for you TIG, you're definitely an assest to this board.
 
Now that is a great post....I actually manually took notes from it. Great to know that someone with so much information is readily available to the masses. Thanks bro.
 
that was the exact poin in one of my posts, we got alot of people on here that think if they take 5 different drugs they will somehow induce magical gains........not so, stick to basics test+dboll+deca when bulking, tren+test+arimidex+anti-est (i found addition of enti-estrogen along with arimidex produced much harder look then arimidex alone) when cutting. That is all one needs to make fantastic progress, all the fucking hgh is not necesary unless you are planning on standing next to Ronnie Coleman any time soon.
 
hey Gd hows it going my man?

Manny :)

serge I couldnt agree with you more on the gh thing, for the expense I personally dont feel it is worth it, but that said it works and works well


Hiya Mustang,

Warlobo, too right it is basic knowledge, but so basis yet so many fail to accept or understand it. I dont think the day will ever come when people stop saying 'dont use test in a cutting cycle'.

Thats really a shame because they don't have any idea of what there missing out on. Testosterone combined with Liquidex/Arimidex in a cut cycle is a must to every cut cycle or cycle in general IMHO

"However, can't figure why is this such a revelation - or is it just me. Does this not sort of fall along the lines of doing the basics - bench, squats, deadlifts when you work out???"

some people just dont know how to train and eat, so they use drugs and get jack shit from them, so they think oh, i will add the "XYZ" drug into the mix the magic will hapen and i will be standing next to all the big boyz in no time.

I say if you cant grow off test+dboll your genetics are garbage so dont bother with drugs period
 
Oh God Damn its a good feeling when the respected bros open the traps and spew what I've told others. Test belongs in a dudes body
 
What you posted is indisputable and basic. It should really be known to all that cycle. Very good remainder to those that forgot and strayed form the basics. But i have one question.

You said sust will not cause any less bloat etc... While i agree that test is test is test. I have a question on the delivery method (ester) on each test. Is it not possible that some people will respond better to a particular ester? In that they will make better gains at a lower dosage with fewer side effects? Not everybody responds best to the Cypionate and Enanthate ester, some like myself respond really well to the mix of esters like found in sust. I can gain well on 1 amp per week, but 200-300mg of Enanthate or Cypionate will not do much of anything. This is the part i can't fully grasp and leds me to theorize that some people may have an inherent genetic predisposition to certain release rates ie. ESTERS, being that test is test. What are your thoughts on that?



Sincerely :nopity:
 
thats what im talking about....its great to see some of the guys coming back

Fantastic post.....great to see ya around....easy to read and very informative
 
Great info bro... all teh newbies.. including myself should see this:)
 
TIG, great post bro. Something to save and to pass on to my less knowldgeable friends.
 
Oh, shit......this ought to bring 2thick out of his cave.
The basic "surefire" cycle is test, deca, dbol. If I could have just one, it's going to be test everytime. Love that GH and insulin, too....hits every form of anabolism and androgenics. Nice return, there, game. You always are enlightening.

Sincerely :nopity:

This was exactly my point, it doesnt really matter which ester the test is bound to, it isnt the ester that is causing the results, it is the testosterone and as long as you are using roughly the same amount of raw test and shot frequently enough in relation to the half life then results should be similar. Testosterone will aromatise no matter to which ester it is attached.

Hey IronMaster, long time Sir, you are a true asset to the board and if only people would show you the respect you deserve

Peace
 
I agree, but what about those who have a very high predisposition to acne. I know this is a very general qustion but how much more acne would one get of 500mg of test/week in comparison to say 500mg of winny/week. I had really bad acne in my teens and am very conscious of getting it again. Im pretty sure that there must be a lot ogf others who wont touch test for the same reasons.

hey you didnt say hi to me:( you said hi to all the big shots but not "ultragainz"..:( why?..we go way back IG way back..remember when i used to spot you on incline bench press? and help you with all your sets and reps.. we used to drink protein shakes together after a hard workout...run around the gym kicking ass...i gave you the name "GAME"..and you used to call yourself "IRON"..then one day you called me and said i got a new name for elite..i said "what?"..you said "IronGame"..and i said "wow"....after a long break you come back to the board and you cant even say hi to me....:(





hehe:p ;) :p hehe
