yes i think to do 2-3 cycles a year.
yes i read for hgh and i want to take it too!
i read you can lost 10-30%gains after cycle too!
okay, now lets say you want to do 3 cycles a year.
you can do three 12 weeks cycles with 7 weeks off in between each. that will be a full year.
now, what steroid you use depends. testosterone is probably the best steroid. when using testosterone, you gain alot of muscle, but you get bloated too. this is because it converts into estrogen. the best steroids for mass all convert into estrogen (and thats why they are the best).
testosterone is also one of the cheapest steroids as well. and one of the healthiest. its the male sex hormone - its natural to your body.
so the point is that - testosterone is most likely the steroid you want to use. probably in every cycle, and probably the only thing you use or a while.
now, other steroids are great too, trenbolone is probably the most "powerful steroid", keeps you lean, doesnt bloat you, and makes you very aggressive in the gym as well. dbol is a cheap steroid that works very well for mass and allows for extra steroid without extra injections.
the dose you want to use is usually refered to as "mg per week". take the toal mg you inject into your body each week, and thats your "mg per week". test is usually run at 500mg per week for a beginner cycle. you can do more or less, and expect results to be directly correspondent to how much more or less you use.
injectable steroids- testsoterone being the one we are talking about- come in different "esters". the ester is what alloows it be be active in your body for a while. if you inject testsosterone with no ester ("testsosterone suspension"), then its only going to be working for about one day. there are a few common esters. prop, enanthane, cypionate, deconate. prop is supposed to be good for a few days. cyp and enanthate and deconate are all suposed to be good for a week to two weeks. but, esters vary in release times and to play it safe, it alwasy best to inject as frequently as possible (that does not mean you have t use more steroid than if you were to inject less frrequently, just adjust injection volume to account for added injections. example = if you go from injecting 250mg twice a week, to injecting 4 times a week, then inject 125mg per injection.)
during your off period, youll want to use some "post cycle therapy" drugs, which get your testicals and pituatary gland back up and running. some hcg at 500iu every third day for two weeks, along side some clomid at 50mg per day for 4-5 weeks. that should be suffficient, but others may have some more input on this matter.
