2-Week Cycle Layout


I will be running a series of 2-on/2-6 off cycles, this will be my first. I feel if I square this one away properly I can handle setting up subsequent cycles myself. Goal of the cycle will be lean mass gain with a strong focus on minimizing fat gain. Previous cycle experience is Test E @ 500mg/week for 10 weeks. Very excited to give Trenbolone a try for the first time.

I’m thinking 60mg/day for Tren because it seems reasonable for a beginner on such a short cycle. Given the acetate ester, I am willing to “push” it a little, though, so if someone recommends going a little bit higher I would consider it. Thoughts?

Advice given by Bill and others is to use an aromatizable compound and I chose to use Test P. The decision to run Testosterone at a much lower ratio to Tren was made after reading through this thread: Forums - T Nation - The World's Trusted Community for Elite Fitness

AI: You can see I am using a low dose of Letro as a precautionary measure. I figured this might be a decent dose to start at and “feel” things out. Thoughts? The initial dose is frontloaded based in Bill’s recommendation in this thread: Forums - T Nation - The World's Trusted Community for Elite Fitness

TP and TA Dosing: I used “Roid Calculator” to figure out the blood plasma levels corresponding with my dosing schedule. Calculations were made using a 2 day half-life for TP and a 1 day half-life for TA. Assuming I interpreted Bill’s advice correctly in the thread I just linked to, blood plasma levels for the TP and TA are within “acceptable” range to begin recovery on day 15. All but the Day 1 injections will be first thing in the morning.

I attached the image of the cycle layout spreedsheet but if you can’t see it here it is again: http://i50.tinypic.com/2h86dud.png

I would run dbol the whole time, if I were you. Also, I would taper the letro dose, and keep the nolva dose consistent on your off weeks.

I was thinking about running the D-bol the whole time at 10mg, and then tapering up as blood plasma levels of Testosterone drop down.

Also, if I were to run GHRP-6, would it be most beneficial to use during the “on” weeks or during the “off” weeks? I’m leaning towards the “off” weeks to help maintain/continue gains.

I would use it EOD and run it the whole time. I would also buy some GHRH (1-29) modified and run them 100ug/50ug , respectively.

If keeping the Nolva dose consistent, how about 20mg/day?

If you have REAL pharmaceutically prepped nolva that is fine. But I am guessing you have research chem stuff, which are probably underdosed. I would go 40mg with that stuff

Im a newbie as well, how effective is a two week cycle?

One 2 week cycle is probably not going to deliver the results most people using steroids seek. A series of 2 week cycles properly managed can be effective however. Do a search on the topic there are a few good threads.

I would run the Dianabol through all 14 days of each 2 week cycle, and I would use 50 mg/day, or at least the 30 mg/day that BBB (I believe) recommended.

I got powder from a reliable source and dissolved it in propylene glycol. I’m assuming no loss in bioavailability versus capping when measuring out dosages. Hopefully I’m right…

Thanks for stopping by. Otherwise, does my plan seem squared away? I am particularly interested if I calculated the blood plasma levels with sufficient accuracy and am within range to begin recovery on Day 15.

Changes from original layout so far:

  • Taper letro down
  • Consistent Nolva dosage duration of 2 weeks
  • Run Dianabol consistently the whole time

Yes, your planning is fine: levels will be low enough to allow recovery to begin very well on day 15.

I dont mean to hijack this thread. I cant figure out how to start my own thread… I’m looking for moderate results,as I get tested and want to do 1 maybe 2 short cycles,soi can test negitive. What is best for that? Test… snd what else. I know what i would like to do when I have more time, Im just looking for moderate gains right now.

If you’re talking about employment testing, steroids are ordinarily not tested for, and testosteron certainly is not.

Its for a powerlifting meet…

Not to sound like a jerk, but all you do is go back and hit the “Post” button at the top right. It looks like this: Forums - T Nation - The World's Trusted Community for Elite Fitness . You probably should post your own topic to get some advice from people more knowledgeable, but what I think they’ll likely recommend is to research the half-lives of different compounds available to you. Acetate and Propionate esters are very short and will be out of your system fairly quick. Same with orals.

Thanks, Bill & Detroitlionsbaby, I am looking to hopefully start next week.

Bill - I’ve done some searching but haven’t been able to find anything. Do you think dissolving my powders in a 100% propylene glycol solution is going to affect the bioavailability? I’m hoping it wouldn’t significantly reduce the amount of the compound absorbed. Thoughts?

I’d expect no difference, and certainly not a reduction.

Awesome, thanks again, Bill.

They have untested feds for that.

Sure thing!

Very cool thread.

Nicely done Op!
