How long does recovery of natural testosterone take after a 12 week steroid cycle plus PCT?
There's not a definitive answer to this question. It depends on the type of steroids you are doing, it depends on the dosage, on how often you do steroid cycles and also your bodies own unique response to steroids…. Thats a lot of “depends". There are more too — but you get the point.What I can tell you is how my own body has responded to multiple steroid cycles. After an 8 week cycle of testosterone enanthate, at a dosage of 400mg/week, followed by PCT consisting of HCG, Nolvadex and Clomid — my testosterone levels are within my normal range around 2 weeks after PCT finishes.I have verified this with multiple blood tests. This is also backed up by a (admittedly small) scientific study done by Dr Michael Scally — in which all test subjects returned to baseline after Scally's 45-day PCT program.So if you aren't going mad with the dosage, you do an 8-10 week cycle, if you stick to testosterone, if you have a very long gap between cycles and if you do proper PCT — PROBABLY — your testosterone will be normal after 45 to 60 days (45 days of PCT starting 2 weeks after the last injection, blood test a couple of weeks after that).Note I never do more than 10 weeks unless I'm taking Primobolan.In my opinion, testosterone shouldn't be your main worry with steroids — I worry most about cardiovascular health.Understand that the more cycles you do, the more chance you have of doing permanent damage.
What should be used in a first steroid cycle?
i am assuming you are ware of what steroids are and what you are going to do with them.now first steroid cycle can either be oral or injectible, oral options include dianbol or turnibol. standard dianbol cycle looks like:wk 1–(6 or 8):30mg per day followed by pct,pct starts day after the last tablet consumption and consits of nolva or clomid or both with standard as Nolva 40/40/20/20 and Clomid 50/50/50/50 (3–4 weeks depending upon length of cycle) hcg is not required for such short cycle.as per injectible standard is test enthanate 400mg-600mg per week for 12 weeks followed by pct for 4 weeks i will suggest to use hcg during cycle to keep lydieg cells sensitize and help better recovery.Wk 1-12 Test E 250mg 2 x wk (Mon AM & Thurs PM)Wk 3-10 hcg 250IU 2 x wk (Day before test pin)Wk 1-14 adex .25 - .5mg EOD Monitor & adjust based on visual/felt sides. (for estrogen control)week 16-19: Nolva 40/40/20/20 with Clomid 50/50/50/50first time cycle should be injectible but if somoene is afraid of injecting or just want to see how body reacts to the steroids they will consider the oral form of steroid but just keep in the mind the oral is nor optimal not at least for first time user .and just keep in the mind the first cycle gonna be the most important in terms of gains so choose and use wisely…
What is the function of proviron tablet in the body? How long can some1 be doing strecting for "P enlargement
Whereas nolvadex blocks the estrogen receptors of the body and will inhibit steroid related side effects such as gynocomastia, mesterolone or Proviron actually prevents aromatization. In other words, Proviron cures the problem of aromatization; Nolvadex treats the symptoms. Legitimately used to treat impotency and reduced sperm count Proviron treats testosterone deficit related dysfunction. Athletes use Proviron in conjunction with the stronger aromatizing steroids. Proviron increases muscle hardness because it increases the androgen level and decreases the estrogen level. Proviron is very popular antiestrogen and used by bodybuilders. It acts as an antiaromatase and which means its prevention the aromatization of steroids into estrogen. Now Proviron is frequently used by athletes on heavy cycles of steroids to prevent gynecomastia. It is also favored by competitive bodybuilders since a lower estrogen level corresponds with increased muscle hardness and lower water retention. One or two 25 mg per day should be sufficient to prevent gynecomastia. Proviron can also be combined with Nolvadex (tamoxifen citrate) if needed. Side effects are extremely rare with dosages under 100 mg per day. Proviron problem is that it tends to reduce the gains made from a cycle. The fact that Proviron is an androgen and therefore binds to androgen receptor sites within the body with Proviron binding to androgen receptor sites, the other steroids present in the body (androgens) are blocked out and unable to take effect. And consequently many athletes prefer to keep the intake of proviron at its minimum effective dosage in order to make sufficient gains while still preventing gynecomastia.
Proviron steroid - is it bad?
Proviron is typically thought of as a hardening agent, and as being not very anabolic on its own. I don’t know of too many men who use it at anything resembling high doses, but personally I’d love to see what it can do at a 50-100mg/day dose- essentially, that’s the dose range we see orally administered DHT compounds being used at, for an anabolic effect. At 25mgs/day it’s going to function as a bit of an anti-estrogen and a libido booster, but probably won’t be building much muscle. A very interesting fact about Proviron is that it binds very well to SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) which is the transport hormone responsible for reducing the amount of circulating free testosterone in your body. It actually binds to SHBG better than almost any other anabolic steroid that I’m aware of. Proviron also binds to the Anabolic Receptor (AR) better than any commercially available oral anabolic. While the previous two effects are certainly desirable effects, this oral version of DHT also has a very high affinity for binding to receptors in the scalp and prostate, causing some possible nasty side effects, like male pattern baldness and prostate enlargement. So Proviron is very synergistic, but what I’ve found from interviews with people as well as in studies, it’s not very effective on it’s own. Worth to pass that on to your partner.
Can I take Anavar stacked with testosterone after experiencing 3 years in bodybuilding? Can you help with the dosage?
Of course you can. The best time to take Anavar, though, is 6 weeks before a show or something where lean muscle and the absence of fat is desired.Since you mentioned you were already into bodybuilding, I won't ask the normal questions such as body fat percentage, etc. I'm going to assume you are relatively experienced.Men should run Anavar at about 50–70 mg a day, broken up into 2–3 doses every 4 hours. The key to Anavar is keeping blood levels on an even keel. Spikes are not what we're after here, but consistency is. Since Anavar is fairly hepatoxic and can be considered tougher on the liver, it's best to only run Anavar for 6–8 weeks at a time while on testosterone. Also, Anavar can really shut down your normal test production as well as decrease your sex drive. So it's wise to invest in a post cycle recovery protocol such as HCG or clomid or anastrozole, etc.If your diet is right you should be able to achieve a very lean composition over the cycle. If your diet is not right, and if you are not already fairly low body fat, you will benefit that much from Anavar and will have therefore wasted your money.
Would it be wise for elderly people to take anabolic steroids?
Why not, i would give it a try myself. If used properly, in controlled dosages, and with maximum observation, it could even benefit some elderly people who are ill and weak.Generally men lose testosterone rapidly over the years, and that can create issues with men who aren’t taking care of themselves(drinking and smoking, poor diet), which i believe its more than 60% of your average adult.Testosterone should be a top priority steroid for men, above 50, for men who decide to use steroids that is. There are other useful steroids also, but in my opinion testosterone alone would do the trick pretty well, as for all of its benefits on a males body.Testosterone can be boosted in various natural ways also. Proper sleeping, various foods, supplements, and lowering stress as much as possible.Sleeping for 7–9 hours a day can utilize proper testosterone production, and will make you feel fresher and stronger. But i am talking about going to sleep max at 01 am, everything later than that will influence the reduction in testosterone synthesis.Food is known to boost natural production of testosterone. Lean meat (beef and lamb), low fat products, fish (salmon and tuna), onions, garlic, pomegranate, avocado, beans, nuts, extra virgin oil, raisins, eggs, coconut oil, honey, cabbage, asparagus, bananas, almonds, oysters, oats, spinach. That is mostly because of the high concentration of Zinc in them.Supplements are also good for this. Zinc, Vitamin D and Tribulus Terrestris are definitely the best, and my personal favorites. When i started using these as an everyday addition to my nutrition i got much healthier, stronger ( sleep was far better), felt fresher in the morning, and i got some muscle mass out of it.Ill leave these few useful links with nice info about all this:Why is doping still a tabooAll about testosteroneTribulus TerrestrisVitamin D7 ways how to naturally increase testosteroneHow to administer testosterone injections
What can you expect from an Anavar/Oxandrolone only steroid cycle?
At somewhere in between 25–50mg / day, you can expect some good gains with a lean, quality look to the physique.Anavar isn’t estrogenic, so you won’t get bitch tits and you won’t take on subcutaneous water. You don’t need anti-estrogens or blockers. One thing less to worry about.It’s considered to be only mildly androgenic, but note that androgenic side effects are still possible. Acne, hair growth, accelerated baldness all still possible although the risk is lower than more powerful androgens.As with most oral steroids, Anavar is bad for your liver, due to a chemical alteration made to the compound, to allow it to pass through. Your liver doesn’t like this. Therefore its advisable to keep cycles short (6 weeks), don’t abuse the dosage and get a liver function test before, after and even during your cycle. Take liver support suppliements too. Anavar is probably the LEAST liver toxic of all the c17-alpha alkylated oral steroids, but it’s not “safe”.As with all steroids - you’ll increase bad cholesterol and decrease good cholesterol.. so it’s important to do cardio, take heart supplements and keep your diet clean.Your bodies natural ability to produce testosterone will be suppressed, so don’t forget proper PCT to give that a re-boot.Personally I think if you are fixed on orals, then Anavar is your best bet, but injections are more effective and safer (when done properly).
Which steroid cycle do I use for cutting cycle?
In the current age of bodybuilding, being hard, shredded, dry, and conditioned is the most important thing. The measures that need to be taken in order to really get to this condition are getting more extreme as the judges continue to favor crazy conditioning.Back in the day, when I first started competing, we were only using one anti-estrogen in the cycle. Today it's not uncommon to use two or three, sometimes more, in the same cutting cycle in order to get as dry and hard as possible. Sleep aids and muscle relaxers are also commonly used to lower stress levels while dieting. Some lazier bodybuilders will use DNP to try and shorten the fat loss process. I do not recommend this, but it does exist.Here's an example of a common pre-contest cutting cycle:Trenbolone Acetate – 100 mg everydayTestosterone Propionate – 100 mg everydayMasteron Propionate – 100 mg everydayWinstrolor Anavar – 50 mg/day for six weeksGrowth Hormone – 4 IU, first thing in the morning, 45 minutes before foodT3 – 20 mcg, gradually increased according to individual needsClenbuterol – 20 mcg, increased according to individual needsNolvade – 20 mg everydayHCG – 250 IU, twice per weekThe Diet/Cardio/Drug DanceI'll always try to adjust things during a cutting phase in order of importance:Diet. Macros can be adjusted while calories remain the same. If that doesn't work, I'll lower calories in general, often by reducing carbsCardio. Add or subtract duration depending on the goal and according to how fat loss is coming along.Cycle. I usually change it according to the timeline of the show. At 8 weeks out, I'll change everything to short esters and increase fat burners like T3 or clenbuterol depending on where I am progress-wise. At 4-6 weeks out, I'll increase the anti-estrogens if I want to get harder looking. Anywhere from 4-10 days out, I'll cut out all injectables and eliminate any drug that can cause water retention.
