Beginner Steroid Cycles

In many ways, beginner steroid cycles are the most important cycles anyone will ever plan or discuss. On their surface, to the veteran performance enhancer beginner steroid cycles will seem simple and quite elementary, but for the newbie things are quite different. When you go to many steroid related message boards, newbies are often criticized for their questions for several reasons. To begin, to the veteran enhancer they’re so simple they often appear to be stupid questions with remarkably little thought put behind them. More importantly, beginner questions are asked so frequently it can at times become quite annoying. Over and over again the same questions are asked day in and day out. While this can be annoying, there are some important things to remember.

For the veteran performance enhancer, he needs to remember the newbie is only trying to learn. At one time, the now veteran was a newbie too, and he needs to remember that. For the newbie, it is essential that you search out some of the questions before you ask, as most of the information is out there you’ll find most of your questions can be answered if you simply do a little work, and that’s exactly what you’re doing here. We’re going to answer some of the most common beginner steroid cycles questions here and now. With this base of knowledge, you’ll be able to approach a message board with legitimate questions, laying aside the annoying repetitive ones.

Question 1: What are the best steroids to use for beginner steroid cycles?
Answer 1: Without question, for a first cycle the most important anabolic steroid used will be testosterone. You will also find this to be the base of most all cycles no matter how advanced you become. Beyond testosterone, quality beginner steroid cycles can include Dianabol or Winstrol, but testosterone is the only one that is a must. For many beginners, a testosterone only cycle will be all they need.
Question 2: Which testosterone should I choose?
Answer 2: Beginner steroid cycles are normally best when single ester testosterones are used. In this case, we are referring to Testosterone-Cypionate, Testosterone-Enanthate and Testosterone-Propionate. Any form will work just as well as the other. Testosterone-Propionate will need to be injected on an every other day basis in equal doses, but the other two will suffice with two injections of equal dosing per week. The reason we will use only single ester compounds is because they are easier to control, and you will also find no matter how advanced you become single ester base testosterones are truly all you ever need.
Question 3: How much testosterone should I use?
Answer 3: On average, well-planned beginner steroid cycles will include 400mg-500mg of testosterone per week. As most Testosterone-Cypionate comes dosed at 200mg/ml, and most Testosterone-Enanthate at 250mg/ml these doses are extremely easy to use.
Question 4: How long should beginner steroid cycles be?
Answer 4: For a first cycle, and truly for any cycle, 8 weeks is our standard minimal time frame with 12 weeks being far more optimal. Total cycle length can extend past the 12 week mark, but for a first cycle, you are best served by keeping the total time of use to 12 weeks max. 12 weeks is a reasonable time frame for any performance enhancer, but in this case, you do not want to get too carried away. You need to see how your body reacts, be patient and save longer cycles for later down the road.
Question 5: If I use Dianabol when should I add it in and how much?
Answer 5: Beginner steroid cycles that include Dianabol will be best served by adding it in the first 6 weeks to kick start the cycle off. Most will find a dosing of 25mg-30mg every day to suffice. This will undoubtedly help pack some size on your frame while the testosterone is building in your system.
Question 6: If I use Winstrol when should I add it in and how much?
Answer 6: Beginner steroid cycles that include Winstrol will be best served by adding it in the last 6 weeks. This will really help push your strength past any sticking point and further, provide some nice lean and hard physique related attributes.
Question 7: How do I protect from side-effects?
Answer 7: The side-effects we will largely be concerned with here are Gynecomastia and water retention. To combat such issues, Aromatase Inhibitors will be your saving grace. Your best two options will be Arimidex and Letrozole, and either will work at a dosing of 0.5mg every other day sufficing. If Gynecomastia becomes an issue, you may need to bump the total dosing up to 1mg every other day.
Question 8: Can I stack more steroids?
Answer 8: Beginner steroid cycles are best with only one or two compounds. Again, you need to see how your body reacts, and if you react poorly and you’re supplementing with numerous hormones it will be impossible to know which ones are causing you any problems.
Question 9: Can I supplement with Human Growth Hormone (HGH) with my first cycle?
Answer 9: HGH, while not a steroid is the safest performance enhancing drug of all. It is not necessary to supplement with this hormone your first time out, but it will not hurt anything if you do. Understand, this is a hormone that must be used for a very long period of time to reap any reward; 16 weeks will be our minimal time frame of use. If you supplement with HGH, begin when your steroid cycle begins and extend its use past the total steroid cycle length to reach 16 weeks of total HGH use. For most performance enhancers, 2iu-4iu every day will suffice, with 4iu’s being as much as many performance enhancers will ever need.
Question 10: Do I need to run a Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) plan?
Answer 10: Whether we’re discussing beginner steroid cycles or far advanced, PCT plans are imperative if you’re going to come off anabolic steroids for any decent length of time. When we supplement with anabolic steroids our testosterone production is suppressed; it will begin again once use is discontinued, but we need to do all we can to speed this process up. Testosterone is an essential hormone to the body and further, if you want to hang onto any of the gains you made you’re going to need its production to begin again. Normally, a 4-5 week PCT plan will suffice.
