a general breakdown of how each compound works and how to design a cycle for newbies or people who just wanna see other veiws:

***disclaimer- i could be wrong on some stuff feel free to correct me***


TEST Derivitives--------

Testosterone:

-test is the base of all cycles, without it your levels will crash and the cycle will be obsolete.
-Test is the primary compound, providing the structure for all other steroids
-it is usually given an ester to regulate release of the compound
.enanthate- half life of 5 to 7 days ****-
.cypionate- half life is to 7 days ****-
.propionate- half life is 2 to 3 days *****
.decanoate- half life is 12 to 14 days **---
.undecanoate- half life is 15 to 18 days *----
.phenylpropionate- half life is 2-3 days *****
-the general consensus is that the shorter the ester the less time in the system, hence less aromatization and given frequent injections, more stable blood levels
-however as good as test may seem it directly aromatizes into estrogen causing bloating, acne, mood swings, oily skin, thinner hair, and gyno
-it is used in all cycles, higher doses for bulking and lower for cutting
-regular doses for trt go from 100mg to 200mg and for bodybuilding can vary from 500mg to 2000mg

--RATING--:
strength--- *****
safety--- ****-



Boldenone/equipoise:

- Eq is mostly found with the ester undecanoate being the longest ester in turn making it the slowest to fully saturate
- Eq works by Increased Red Blood Cell Production (Erythropoiesis) which improves oxygen delivery to muscles
- Boldenone does not aromatize
- this will make it a leaner compound overall however it is a longer compound for long cycles
- Eq can cause androgenic side effects but the worst side is most likely to be blood pressure from the RBC production
it is used in cycle at doses above 300 if its a main compound if its a support compound then its used at 300 or under
-typical Eq cycles will have it anywhere from 500 to 800 besides the test base

safety--- ***--



Dianabol/Methandrostenolone:

-dbol is an orally available steroid but can be found injectable
-dbol is famously known for its size however also its water retention, this is because of its high aromatization
-dbol as its also known can put on anywhere from 5 to 10kgs in only a few weeks, however its highly toxic to the liver
-Dbol has affinity for the progesterone receptor this amplifies its estrogenic effects and further increases the risk of gynecomastia and water retention
-Dbol, as its an oral compound doesnt have an ester and is used in its raw form, therefor it has a half life of around 3 to 6 hours
-common doses of dbol vary from 10mg to 40mg the higher the dose the more side effects primarily being bloat

---RATING---:
strength--- ****-
safety--- **---




Chlorohydromethyltestosterone/Turanibol:
-tbol as its more known is branched of version of dbol designed to have less to no water retention however its muscle mass isnt as potent
-the safety of the compound is quite good and it has little sides mostly just regular testosterone sides used at higher doses however the doses that cause sides a rarely used
-being oral it is liver toxic and cannot be used for more than 8 weeks in most cases
-its usually used at around 10mg to 150mg in extreme cases

---RATING---:
strength--- **---
safety--- *****




DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE Derivitives--------

Stanozolol/Winstrol:
-winstrol is potent dht derived steroid that binds strongly to the AR
-its an oral compound hence no ester is needed
-it lowers SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) which will increase total free test for the body to absorb.
-it can increase collagen synthesis but will drive you synovial fluid (joint fluid) into the ground which can cause dry joints.
-being a dht derivative it will not turn to estrogen and will provide a grainy hard look
-doses can be anywhere from 10mg to 75mg however it gets exponetionally more dangerous on the heart, liver and the joints

---RATING---:
strength--- ****-
safety--- **---



Oxandrolone/Anavar:

-anavar is an oral compound with a half life of 3-6 hours
-similar to winstrol it is a dht derived steroid however it increases creatine phosphate synthesis which leads to rapid strength gains with minimal weight gain
-it can also in a high enough dose however lead to leaner muscle gain and somehwat low levels of fat loss
-anavar is often praised as one of the safest steroids but can still offer minor dht sides in higher doses
-doses can vary from as low as 10mg to 100mg but can lead to more dht related sides like hair loss and increased acne

---RATING---:
strength--- ***--
safety--- *****




Methenolone/Primobolan:
-primo is one of the safest and most loved steroids for its fat loss and muscle growth effects with the least amount of side effects
-its hyper resistant to aromatisation allowing for high absorption itno the body without estrogenic side effects
-it is usually used at primary cutting compound in ones cycle or as the main driver in anobolism (growth)
-it can be used at really high doses without noticible sides but used too high can cause bad hairloss and acne
-doses are between 200mg to 1000mg comfortably outside this range its either useless or dangerous depending on the person

---RATING---:
strength--- ****-
safety--- *****



Oxymethalone/Anadrol:

-anadrol is an oral and it quite similar to Dianabol in its effects and use however it does deem to be more potent
-anadrol stimulates erythropoiesis and despite being a dht steroid can cause strong progestogenic side effects causing side effects of Testosterone, DHT, and 19 NOR's
-Anadrol causes extreme intracellular water retention causing one to gain anywhere from 7 to 12kgs in merely a few weeks but once hopping off similar to dbol you can expect to lose 5 to 8kgs
-its typical dose is from 10mgs to 100mgs following the trend that more means more sides and more gains however the sides grow faster tan gains

---RATING---:
strength--- *****
safety--- *----




Mesterolone/Proviron:
-proviron isnt directly an anabolic steroid it is still often used in cycles to crush SHBG making it all better
- its often used at around 10 to 40mgs but can cause increased sides in the other compounds ran along side it

---RATING---:
strength--- *----
safety--- ***--




Drostanolone/Masteron:
-Mast isnt an oral and like all other dhts doesnt aromatase, in fact it can mildly inhibit aromatization
-its primarily a strong cutting compound but can increase muscle mass very slightly however its not the main function
-like primo it can supress SHBG quite low in some cases
-it functions mildly as a diuretic at the cellular level pulling water from the fat between the muscle and skin and keeping it in the muscle and skin
-it can increase the energy/aggression, confidence and that strong masculine feeling due to its high androgenic effects
-it has a similar side effct profile of primo but can lead to more hair loss, acne and other sht sides as it works on the SHBG more
-typical doses can be anywhere from 100mg as a support to 750 as the main cutting compound, again outside this range things change and get worse

---RATING---:
strength--- ****-
safety--- ***--



MethylDrostanolone/Superdrol:

-superdrol is a 17α-alkylated version of masteron allowing it to become orally bio available
-the methylation increases the bodies use of it insanely triggering dormant uses allowing it to become insanely potent
-it allows for massive muscle growth putting on around 4 to 8 kilos in less than 5 weeks but its extremely dry and full
-it works by draining the water from the subcutanious layer and filling up your muscles with glycogen giving that full look
-due to it being oral it is highly toxic
-the main downside is that most of the gains are temporary and the compound is very toxic, other sides can be lethargy and appetitie loss
-its used from as low as 5mg up to 50mg dangerously

---RATING---:
strength--- *****
safety--- *----



DiHydroBoldenone/DHB:

-DHB is the dht version of boldenone giving it that higher androgenic profile
-it can prmote Myogenic Differentiation which is that it promotes stem cell conversion into muscle cells
-like its base version it slow acting but gives high quality gains at a relativly safer level than most compounds
-it will drain water slowly and increase vasularity giving that shredded paper thin skin look
-its main magic is that most of the gains you get are entirely keepable letting you keep anywhere from 7 to 14kgs depending on the dose and length of use
-the sides of this for most is the PIP (post injection pain) but can also include, heart strain, dht sides, and higher blood levels
-its effective dose is 350 to 450mg but its used anywhere from 300mg to 800mg

---RATING---:
strength--- *****
safety--- ***--




19-NORANDROTESTOSTERONE Derivatives--------

Nandrolone/Deca/NPP:
-nadrolone can come in two primary esters decanoate and phenylpropionate, nandrolone is a 19-NOR which means the 19th carbon of test was removed
-this gives deca/NPP lower aromatisation but however gives it progestogeni and prolactin sides which are the wors of the sides
-its used as a bulking compound giving a slight wet look but building more muscle then the compound before
-it is slow or fast depending on the ester but it cuases exrem nitrogen retentin giving insane pumps and fullness and also promotes collagen and synovial fluid for joints and skin health
-the sides are quite harsh however if used incorrectly being high levels of bloat, acne, anxiety, depression, anger, high blood pressure, gentital function, gyno, lactation, heart strain, and brain growth prevention if not full devolped
-ancilarries can be used to minimalise sides but cannot neutralise them safely
-doses of nandrolone vary from support doses as low as 150mg to high anabolic driver at 800mg

---RATING---:
strength--- *****
safety--- **---



Trestelone/MENT:

-possibly one of the strongest muscle building compounds it is famously known for shutting down testosterone production
-it far more anabolic than nandrolone and test binding to receptos with a 10x greater affinity and sticks alot longer
-it can give extreme fullness and insnaly quick rapid growth of the muscles, it can give extreme vascularity, libido and agression will be through the roof, expect 8 to 15kgs weight gain in only 12 weeks
-ment however is worse than deca it can cause extremly high levels of bloat, acne, anxiety, depression, anger, dangerous blood pressure, gentital function, gyno, lactation, heart strain and permanent shutdown of your hpta
-doses of ment are usually small with only 10mg being equal to 500mg of test so a common stack would have 5mg to 25mg per injection

---RATING---:
strength--- *****
safety--- -----



Trenbolone/TREN:

-tren is the dark side of steroids, it offers no estrogen, a hard grainy defined physique, rapid muscle mass, nutrition portioning, and insane strength, but at the cost of your health
-it has myogenic differentiation converting satellite cells to muscle, it upregulates igf-1 and shuttles nutrients straight to muscle away from fats
-it greatly increase metabolic rates, and insulin sensitivity, and will upregulate adrenalines
-the cost though is that it will drain all you dopamine, cause extreme elevations of noradrenaline hence anxiety, insomnia, sweating and anger, alongside that it has GABA interfernece causing more anxiety and turbo boosting that overstimulated feeling at the slightest thing
-expect no sleep, constant worry and anger, no happiness, intense organ and health problems and overall worsened health
-usual doses go from 50mg as nutrition portioning tool up to 1000mg for people who want to be an absolute freak of nature and become a meatball of muscle

How to design your cycles?:


---FIRST CYCLE---
.for a first cycle you obviously want to start low to get a feeling of being on cycle and the lifestyle change
-firstly youll need to pick a goal based on your current position
-if you already have size but arent as defined ... cut
-if your skinny and want to gain size ... bulk

.the basic premise is to choose a dose applied to your goal
-for a cutting cycle you will want to choose a lower dose and quicker ester
-on a bulking stack you woulf choose higher test and any ester really

.if you have been training for a long while and have done extensive research on going on gear consider->
-adding a mild oral compound like anavar, dbol or tbol for an extra kickstarter or finisher
-adding a simple peptide like any GHRP, Igf 1 peptided, or cutting compound

.make sure you have all anciliaries and plan doses and storage ahead of time
-for estrogen control if blood work shows your sensitive to estrogen get aromasin or arimidex
-dial in your diet
-have TUDCA, NAC + milk thistle for health on orals
-have pct ready for if you need to suddenly hop off
-if peptides are used have proper storage

.get familiar with needles and timing
-before starting a cycle get a 25g or 27g and pin yourself but dont inject or extract just feel it
-if you cant handle it dont proceed
-if you can order all your stuff (AFTER BLOODWORK) and do more research


---MID RANGE CYCLE---
.for a mid range cycle with someone who has a but more experience or knows what theyre doing
-pick a goal like before
-for any cutting cycle pick a lower test dose and use a dht derrived steroid as they offer dry results
-for a bulking stack you can still use a dht but it most likely wont be your prime builder for muscle
-cutting example -> 300 test prop, 300 mast for 15 weeks and maybe throwin 25var in the end
-bulking example -> 500 test cyp, 250 deca for 15 weeks and adding 20dbol, 50adrol or to lean you out 25var

.commit to the stack with your diet and supplements
-if your cutting dont drop the cals if you do just slightly but to still build muscle eat in maintenence
-for a bulk incrase cals by up to 200 to 500 cals and stick to it, dont change too often if you gain fat because itll mostly subside after the cycle ends
-be patient on the cycle but also be careful, have all possible ancilarries on hand in case of unknown sides

.you might need things like caber or permi, and look into cycle support supps
.you should be more familair with needles and timing so make it more scheduled
.set deticated days for compounds pre cycle
.look into changing sites and esters to find whats best for you


---EXPERIENCED CYCLE---
.for those who are more experinced you likely will know what you want by now but a good strucutre would still be
-for a cutting cycle leaning more into stronger compounds like winstrol and GLP compounds
-for those who are bulking maybe look into adding a lean compound on top like mast or primo
-cutting stack -> 350 test, 500 mast, 500 primo, and add in winstrol, var or a peptide like sema or reta
-bulking stack -> 750 test, 400 npp, 250 primo and add in anadrol or even superdrol for that freak factor

.not much i can add for experienced users but consider adding more cals and leveraging the compounds more
-on a cut stay at a maintence even a 50 cal suplus
-on a bulk go crazy and add 700 to 1000cals on top just dial your cutting compound higher if you do
-you could even switch up the ratio of your diet by lowering fats and increasing carbs or look into certain supplements
-use glycerol or stronger pre, potentially change up the protocal to fit your cycle

---SUICIDE CYCLE---
.for people whove been told theyve got like 1 year to live try this
-there isnt any cutting or bulking just a full recomp
-get any money you can and buy thye following (if you want ofc)
-test P 1000mg per week, Tren A 750mg per week, Mast P 1000mg per week, methyl tren 1mg (no more than 6 weeks not that itll matter), winstrol 50mg per day, Deca 500mg per week, and maybe add some insulin and HGH

.This is only for people who dont who care if they live or die and also happen to be rich asf

I love the harm reduction approach
 
Good guide

Mast doesn’t lower aromatisation it merely reduces the effects of estrogen because the ratio of estrogen to androgen is lower.
