Novice Steroid Cycles (Cycle #1)

Steroid Cycles for Beginners

By Anthony Roberts

If I were just entering the world of anabolic steroids, I wouldn´t know what to do with all of the information available today. I remember a decade ago when I first read the Underground Steroid Handbook by Dan Duchaine. The thing that stuck with me from that book was that he always said there was no magic in steroids. I read his handbook, and just as was promised, I learned that the rabbit was always in the hat, and the cards were up a sleeve all along. Steroids look like magic to beginners, because it´s hard to believe you can take a few pills and become more muscular seemingly overnight.

Well, it´s not magic, but if you´re a beginner and have seen their effects first hand (perhaps in a friend or teammate), they probably seem that way to you. But there´s no magic here. I´m going to also say that if you´re a beginner (i.e. have never used steroids), and you´re reading this article, you´re considering using them. A beginner is someone who has done two cycles or less, in my opinion.

Instead of just throwing some drugs and dosages at you, I´m going to do something a bit different. First I´m going to ask you some questions. If you answer no to any of them, then you´re probably not ready to use anabolic steroids.

Are you a male over eighteen years old?

Have you been training for at least two or three years seriously?

Can you devote at least half a year to working out consistently?

Can you be sure you can get real steroids?

If youe;re under eighteen years old, you probably haven´t stopped growing yet. So answering no to my first question means you run a very real risk of stunting your growth if you should choose to use steroids. In addition, I suppose there´s some kind of moral/ethical/legal issue in telling a minor that it´s alright to use steroids. So lets assume that if you´re still reading this, you´re of legal age to vote (but perhaps not to buy a beer which is another issue altogether ). If you answered no to my second question, you still need some natural training in the gym. This isn´t because you need to reach some mythical natural limit first, but rather because without a couple of years of serious training, you simply won´t know how your body reacts to different exercises.

As for my third question, I´m not going to tell you to do a 6 month cycle, but if you can´t devote at least as much time after the cycle to recovering as you did to the cycle (a three month one), then you´ll lose too much of your hard earned gains to make it worth it to even do a cycle. Finally, do I even need to elaborate on why answering no to the last question means you shouldn´t be considering a cycle? Good.

I´m going to limit my suggestions for beginner´s cycles to basically two compounds at most. And I´m going to also limit my suggestions to the most cost effective cycles and I´m not going to include any bizarre or hard to find drugs. Chances are if you´re a beginner, you can´t get all the exotic drugs people talk about. And, as a beginner, you´re better off without them. Here´s the cycle we´re going to discuss:

Week Testosterone (Cypionate or Enanthate) (optional) Dianabol

1 400 mgs 20 mgs/day

2 400 mgs 20 mgs/day

3 400 mgs 20 mgs/day

3 400 mgs 20 mgs/day

4 400 mgs 20 mgs/day

5 400 mgs

6 400 mgs

7 400 mgs

8 400 mgs

9 400 mgs

10 400 mgs

11 400 mgs

12 400 mgs

So you´ll notice a few things here, and I´ll explain them one by one. The first thing that I suggest is a twelve week cycle. This is because as a beginner, I feel like you want to have some time to deal with your cycle and make gains from it. You´re going to gain a lot of weight at first, and you need to get used to it. Gains will begin to taper off towards the end of this cycle. Most people find minor side effects to begin immediately upon starting a cycle (acne, etc... ) and subside within the first month also. This is as a result of your body trying to normalize itself´ or maintain/restore homeostasis in geek-speak.

The first compound we´re looking at for this cycle is testosterone. Testosterone is a great compound for use as the base of every cycle, and especially a beginner´s cycle This is because it is the primary male sexual hormone and it will have a variety of beneficial effects in your body including the synthesis of new protein and increase in IGF (both of which will build muscle), increasing red blood cell count (thus increasing endurance), and will provide an increase in both strength and aggressiveness in the gym. Additionally, it will convert to a much stronger androgen called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and also the female sex hormone Estrogen. This will give you the full spectrum of effects provided by your own natural testosterone. At this dose, not too many side effects should manifest. If your nipples get sore, then 10mgs/day of Nolvadex would be a welcome addition to this cycle. If hair loss is a concern, Nizoral shampoo (Ketoconazole) or Propecia (Finasteride) can be added into the cycle as per the manufacturer´s instructions.

You´ll need to inject either Testosterone Enanthate or Testosterone Cypionate at a dose of 400mgs once a week, and have the suggested medications to treat side effects on hand, just in case you need them.

The second, and optional, compound in this cycle is Dianabol (Methandrostenolone). This is an oral version of testosterone that has been tweaked by scientists to have less conversion to estrogen. In this case, they added what´s known as a c1-2 double bond, and this slows conversion to estrogen, and appears to do the same with conversion to DHT. They also made an adjustment called c17 alpha alkylation, making it orally active (unlike the testosterone you are using in this cycle). Adding this steroid into a beginner´s cycle will allow the user to achieve more gains in strength and muscle mass more quickly. It´s known to experienced steroid users as kick starting a cycle. Remember, the testosterone is the bread and butter of this cycle, and the Dianabol is a nice addition, but not to be used alone.

A cycle like this should provide a beginning steroid user with a good twenty (or more) pounds or more if a proper diet and training regimen is followed. Some of this weight is going to be water retention, since the two steroids being used can both convert to estrogen. If a clean, high calorie diet is followed, then that bloated watery look that´s common with first time steroid users can be avoided. Also, it´s important to note that it´s a very good idea to do at least 20 minutes of cardio work three or four times a week while on a cycle, to keep your cardiovascular system running optimally, and able to support all of the new weight (and stress) you are placing on it.

This is very good advice. I have all beginners do this one but only for 10 weeks as the only bottles you can get are 10ml. I would do 2 x shots per week 1ml on Monday and 1ml on Thursday. The Test Enanthate you can get here is 250mg per ml so you will be looking at 500mgs per week and not the 400mgs they have. With the D-bol ( Dianabol) they will be the pink ones that are 5mgs. They are hard to find in NZ but you can get 20mg tabs here in NZ. For beginners with this cycle I get them to take for the first week 2 x D-bol tabs 1 x am and 1 x 5pm and for weeks 2 and 3 they will have 1 x am, 1 x noon, 1 x 5pm. And week 4 will be the same as week one. When taking gear your food needs to be very clean to get the best results.

thanks for answering, couple more questions

what quantity does this test come in? and what price range wood i be looking at, i'm not after sourses just tring to get a lay of the land so i dont get ripped off and same for what price range on the D-bol

Test Enanthate is this what is refered to as test E in other posts??

[blairandkelly]

as m.r said a 10ml test e(enanthate ) has a concentration of 250mg per ml so to get 500mg per week you would need 1 ml per week , also as he has said you can split this dose into two shots per week for the purpose of keeping hormone levels stable , prices are a bit like current petrol prices and depend allot on "who you know" so to speak , when you find a good source, guard it!!

when you find a good source, guard it!!

and keep your mouth shut too

[IronGame]

But dont be thrown off by different dosings of testosterone preperations basicly it can be made at pretty much any concentration up to about 400mg maby 450mg/ml but often 200mg/ml or 250mg/ml. Some vet stuff may be 100 or even as low as 50mg/ml.

Hey ya, I've read a lot of Anthony Roberts stuff and he can come up with some left field stuff, but this advice is pretty sound IMO. I would suggest a lower dose of 250mg per week for first cycle + 30mg of Dbol ed for first 4 weeks, you will be impressed with results even at this small dose. A good rule of thumb is start low and work your way up. Each cycle you do you will generaly have to increase the dose each time to get the same results. Like AR said AAS is not magick so gains will be consistent but you will have to train harder and eat better than you have ever done before.

this was my first cycle minus the dbol and i was very impressed, but do wish i had of used 500mg/750mg sus a week instead of 250/500mg a week.

and iron game is right, i have used test e that was dosed at 300mg/ml, depends whos making it

[samoan_muscle]

I cant b bothered reading the post so have nothing 2 add

2 long lmao!!
