My current stats
Age - 25
Height - 5’11
Body weight - 78kg
BF - Approx 14-15%
I have used many compounds in past - test, tren, mast, eq, winny, sdrol, primo, anavar and sarms too.
Now i want to start my next cycle after 6 months of gap from gym. I lost my gains. I have started working out again from last 1 month. Now i’m planning to start cycle again after 2-3 weeks. I want to get approximately 10% of body fat at 78-80kg body weight. What kind of cycle you guys suggest me. I don’t want to use tren due to mental sides.
You are at a good age to get the results you want.
Here is what I would do if I were you.
Muscle memory is a huge blessing. You will get back your old gains fairly rapidly. I would let them return without AAS.
IMO, you should be able to get back to the gains you had just before you started you last AAS cycle.
At that point I would start a AAS cycle with:
Testosterone
Injectable anabolic (your choice, but I liked deca best)
Oral anabolic (I used Dianabol, Winstrol, or Anavar)
Any reasonable cycle would add muscle. I don’t think “special” stacks are necessary for anything but competition.
For what it is worth I kept my AAS dosage between 500 and 600mg/wk. But I was always “on cycle” more than “off cycle”. I would probably cruise now, but it wasn’t a typical protocol when I was competing.
I would think that you should be closer to 90kg at 10% body fat having done 5 cycles.
Bro i never used test e more then 250 mg per week tren 150 mg primo 200 mg eq 250-300 mg i believe in low dose cycle and i never want to be huge 90 kg is too much for me. I appreciate your advice. Can you please suggest dry compounds because deca holds water and as i told you i want to be at 10% body fat with 78-80kg body weight.
From my experience deca is not a water holder. I never entered a contest over 10% body fat. I took deca as an injectable anabolic many more contests than not. I got into the mid 5% body fat (skinfold test) in many contests. (I did at least two warmup contests, not peaking, every year, still below 8% body fat.)
I have no idea how the “deca equals water retention” got started. IMO, it is one of the “dry” ones.
If I had to, I could compete fairly well on Anadrol-50, watching my sodium to get drier. I just don’t get the “wet/dry” concern when the stage isn’t involved.
Someone else on T-Nation can help you with your goal. Best wishes.
Nothing. You’ve been out of the game, lost all your hard earned gainz, just start lifting again with the AAS and you’ll see some muscle memory. And losing BF is easy, no steroids required, just eat less. Boom. Once you’ve gotten another 6-12 months in the gym and back on your routine maybe then add the AAS in.
I have never used deca and i hear it from many people that deca increases water retention and increases waist size. I don’t know the reality. I will try deca can you please suggest me dosage for test E and deca. Also suggest me one oral compound with dosage.
Now, please understand that I would claim all my muscle memory gains before I started AAS.
That said, I had better luck avoiding “bitch tits” using testosterone cypionate. But use what you can get.
Here’s what I have done in 8 week cycles, followed by 6 weeks “off cycle”:
Testosterone cypionate 200mg/wk
Deca 200mg/wk
Anavar or Winstrol 20mg/wk (I liked Winstrol more because I felt it kept my muscle bellies fuller than Anavar)
Disclaimer: All the AAS that I used were pharmaceutical grade. So keep that in mind concerning the doses I took.
Got a girl?
Asking because if this is just a hobby, it’s not smart to be taking steroids.
Regardless, you don’t need steroids to reach your goals. Keep your diet clean, protein high, train to failure, and stick with it. I promise you that you dont need steroids to hit your goal stats.
You are far away from the point of diminishing returns with your dosages. I don’t see much point in running multiple compounds until Test is fairly high. At 250 mg/wk, you have lots of room to increase it and not see steep diminishing returns (going from 250 mg/wk to 500 mg/wk will be an almost linear relationship between gains and dosage).
With just Test, the hit to lipids is usually much less than the other compounds as well. Then there are other side effects which are more difficult to manage with the other steroids you listed compared to Test.
Your goals aren’t extreme either. Just stick to Test IMO. If you wanted to be 30 lbs heavier than your goal, then the other steroids might make sense.
I agree with the others that starting a cycle now doesn’t make much sense. Establish a pattern of regular training, diet… Then after you do that for at least 3-4 months, then think about a Test only cycle.
