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	30-40 mgs/day
2	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
3	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
3	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
4	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
5	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
6	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
7	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
8	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
9	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
10	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
11	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day
12	400 mgs	30-40 mgs/day

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 called Deca-Durabolin, or "Deca" for short (Nandrolone Decanoate). This is an injectable steroid made by altering the testosterone molecule (removing a specific carbon atom) in such a way that it now converts to estrogen at a much lower rate then testosterone, and actually has a higher anabolic rating as well. This should be taken with a grain of salt, however, because although Deca is a great steroid, very few people would argue that it´s better than testosterone for gains. Gains tend to be very high quality with Deca, and produce a much harder look to the physique, in general. Sore joints as well as aches and pains also seem to disappear for most athletes when they include Deca in their cycles. Adding it into this beginner´s cycle is perfect for older trainees or those with injuries. IT can, however, cause sexual dysfunction if used without testosterone. That is why it´s an addition to this cycle, and not the base of it.

A cycle like this should provide a beginning steroid user with over twenty pounds of new body weight if a proper diet and training regimen is followed. As a really nice side benefit, the Deca-Durabolin is going to provide the seasoned lifter with a very soothing effect on their joints, and therefore the ability to use heavier weights. A bit of this weight is going to be water retention, but since only the testosterone is really a concern there, it shouldn´t be much of a problem. In fact, Deca only has about a fifth the ability to convert to estrogen as testosterone does. In my experience, the weight gained on a cycle like this is much more "nice looking" than on a straight testosterone cycle. In other words, even though the two steroids being used can both convert to estrogen, only the testosterone does so at any appreciable rate. If a clean, high calorie diet is followed, most, if not all, of the "watery" look that´s common with first time steroid users can be avoided. Of course if you eat everything in sight, you´ll gain more weight and strength, but it´s not going to be pretty... 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.
