I find it interesting that the more and more threads I read, the less people seem to be talking about what they're actually trying to achieve during a cycle.
AAS cycles shouldn't be treated as 'just for the hell of it' experiences, otherwise you're simply wasting your time and money. You can half-ass your training, diet and lifestyle without AAS. Why spend money to somewhat more efficiently half-ass it?
Taking from other areas of my professional life, I'm going to logically breakdown some important factors which I think can turn an average cycle into something really special... Maybe something that a lot of people didn't even know they had in them. We will focus on Goals and Discipline in relation to healthy living and AAS in general.
GOALS
Like anything in life - be it personal, work related or something else - goals should be a list of clearly defined deliverables that you're seeking to achieve. They should be:
By setting clear cut goals, you are giving your cycle PURPOSE. I know that personally, I work a lot harder and live stricter day-to-day when I'm focused on achievable something specific.
Set yourself some goals based on the categories above and I guarantee you, your cycle will feel so much more rewarding. Especially when you look back at what you have achieved!
Remember though, a cycle is only called a cycle because it starts and finishes at some point. The idea IS NOT to simply throw out all the things you just achieved as soon as Week 8, 10, 12, whatever ends. This brings me to my next point.
DISCIPLINE
A cycle, like anything in life, is extremely hampered without some level of discipline from the individual.
Discipline ensures that we stay on track and don't derail our efforts.
This principle can be applied to a lot of things in life, but I'll focus on training and cycle related factors. I'll call them 'The 3 D's'
These are fundamentals. They won't always make or break a cycle, but I can promise you that they make the difference in getting that 10-20% extra out of a regime that people never even knew was possible.
It's no secret that two identical people could run the exact same cycle with the exact same routine, yet product completely different results. Differences in diet and specifically how you train can mean the world.
I firmly believe that if you can't commit to simple things like those listed above, then you have no place putting these compounds in your body.
This is not a game.
Be safe my friends!

GOALS
Like anything in life - be it personal, work related or something else - goals should be a list of clearly defined deliverables that you're seeking to achieve. They should be:
- Realistic - Setting yourself the goal of dropping from 15% bf to 3% bf in 4 weeks, or adding 200lbs to your bench press is NOT realistic.
- Measurable - For clear cut goals, they should be tangible things. Dropping/adding 'x' amount of lbs, breaking personal bests etc
- Feasible - Something that you know you can achieve, easily or by the skin of your teeth. Don't set the bar so high that you end up disappointed.
- and....SAFE! - For the purpose of Cycle-related goals, DON'T force yourself to ridiculous extremes whereby you endanger your own health.

- Dosage - Be disciplined with your dosages to the point where you only dose what is necessary for the cycle and you dose with correct techniques, at correct times. Spread your pins out as they should be based on your compounds and ALWAYS maintain a safe practice with using injectables.
- Diet - Without a sound diet, you're destined to either FAIL or SEVERELY hamper your possible progress. Dial in that diet and STICK TO IT. No-one is perfect and everyone sways now and then, but be sure that you maintain a healthy intake of foods overall. If you slip up consistently in this area, you're only wasting YOUR time, effort and money.
- Delivery - This focuses on something that a lot of people, from newbies to veterans, often forget. How often we train is just as important as how HARD and how CORRECTLY we train. We don't grow or get lean by simply walking into a gym and looking at the plates. Train hard but train with good form. The quality of your workouts is directly impacted by how well you perform your exercises. How many times have we all seen someone who you could swear thinks barbell curls are a back exercise based on their form? Just like your diet, keep your training clean.
