Steroid intake, mainly among the younger breed wanting to become muscular heroes, is largely is not a new phenomenon these days. Where there is nothing wrong in taking them, knowing proper schedules and procedures to consume them is an imperative step. Hence one should only take them under expert professional care because their anomalous use might affect one’s natural testosterone production.

Here are a few things you must know before starting the intake of these drugs:

• You should be a male, at least over eighteen years of age.
• You should have been vigorously training for at least two to three years in a row.
• Once you start off with the steroid cycle, you should be able to devote at least half a year of working out consistently without fail.
• You must be sure that you’ll be able to get real steroids from a trusted source.

On the contrary, if you are a female, you must ensure that you do not suffer from any kind of kidney or liver problems. You must also know that steroid intake calls for a very specific diet and training which needs to be maintained until the completion of the entire cycle. Also every steroid cycle has a start, finish and an end – the post cycle therapy (PCT) and you should be aware of the demands of each stage before getting into it.

First timers and people new to steroid intake should start with what is known as beginner’s cycle followed by advanced cycles. However, there is no definitive answer to the exact combination of drugs to be employed for beginner’s regime. The best way is to keep it simple if it is your first time. Testosterone on its own is enough for a first cycle. Ideally, taking only one substance at a time is a good way of gauging how your body will respond to it.

Here’s an example!

Stack #1 (Testosterone enanthate 500 mg per week for 8 weeks)

This first cycle consists of only one substance and is usually referred to as a test only cycle. Testosterone enanthate is injected up to 500 mg a week, and is usually split between 2 doses of 250 mg taken on set days of the week such as Monday and Thursday. This should last for 8 weeks.

This is a good stack for a beginner but you should still make sure that you keep seeking your seniors’ advice while your cycle in on and even after that.

When we talk of a steroid cycle, it doesn’t mean any person can get started with any dose or adjust his frequency of intake at his own will. There are numerous parameters that one needs to consider before undertaking a particular dosage, the most important being the training stage your body is at. Thus these cycles have been divided as beginner, intermediate and advanced cycles which indeed greatly differ from each other.

Advanced cycles are mainly employed when athletes and body builders have reached a stage where their bodies have already sustained many years of training and steroid intake regime. It is a stage when they can identify the compounds which work the best for them, and dosages their bodies respond best to. It is this defining characteristic and experience of an advanced steroid user that prepares him and gives him the capability to choose an advanced steroid cycle.

To be able to employ an advanced steroid cycle, it is imperative that the person has:

• done over 5 cycles already
• employed stacks such as 2 steroids and one other drug such as an anti-estrogen, clen, etc. in one cycle
• Experience in employing cycles for different reasons like cutting, bulking, gaining strength, etc.
• done Post Cycle Therapy and kept more than 50% of gains

If you have done all of this and more, you can be called as an ideal recipient of an advanced steroid cycle. However, you must also know that  no matter how many cycles you have done, if you observe yourself losing half of your gains from each cycle, it means that something is going wrong somewhere. Thus you need to figure out where is it that you are actually going wrong when you end your cycles.

It is still always recommended to administer these cycles under expert medical or professional care fro best results!
