Here is how i would run one of the classic cycles - assuming i still used anabolics of course, but hopefully it will create some good questions and cease some other, not so good questions.
Cycle:
750mg/wk Testosterone Enanthate
400mg/wk Nandrolone Decanoate
350mg/wk Methandrostenolone
Pattern:
Wk1-10 375mg TE 2x/wk
Wk1-10 200mg ND 2x/wk
Wk1-6 12.5mg DB 4x/dy
I would shoot 700mg of Deca and 950mg of Test on the first day of the first week then carry on the cycle as is planned. This will achieve peak blood levels from the first day… and is the reason that 10 weeks is more than enough.
Another method would be to run the test 12 weeks as a base. The then dbol the first 6 and the deca the last 6 (frontloaded of course) this would keep gains coming throughout the whole cycle and would be a goos way to run with the cycle.
OR - to run the dbol for the LAST 6 weeks rather than the first, giving the cycle a lovely large kick well after the frontloaded test and deca have exerted a large amount of good effect already, requiring a change of some sort.
4x a week of dbol dosing would give a good balance of peak level and stability. Dosing 10x5mg give very stable levels but also very low ones.
I personally would use letrozole at a dose of 0.5-0.75mg a day… probably the latter dose for the dbol portion of the cycle.
I cannot recommend AI doses for others really… some need adex upto 1mg a day with this cycle others 0.25mg EOD.
I have recently become a big proponent of bloods being taken for estrogen management in particular.
Um… what else?
As for caber for the deca… well that is a personal choice and not one that is used often here yet. As prices decrease - just as happened with anastrozole - we shall see its use more frequently.
Letrozole should be a good drug in relation to the progesterone receptor agonising(correct term?) properties of the nandrolone - AND the aromatisation of two of the most aromatisable steroids around.
Oh… and the standard test stasis taper would be very much the PCT of choice here for those wishing to recover, with a 6 week stasis… ie. not blast and cruise/trt.
I personally might choose to eat clean, upto 2g/lb of protein and plenty of carbs but wholegrain and lots of fibre. Low sugar(prei-workout) and sat fats… moderate fats; flax etc.
As a 200lb 5’8" bodybuilder, for some reason i dont need 100,000kcals to grow (;p), but would do well building from 4000kcals and upwards to approx.4700-5000kcals(MAX) of quality food/powders over the 10 weeks and into stasis.
hope this helps - comments, concerns?
