Q: “For anabolic steroid cycle planning, when should I consider a cycle to have ended? At the end of the last week that I used steroids, or when the steroids have cleared?” A: Any system can be used if the thinking is consistent, but I prefer figuring cycle length according to how long anabolic steroid […]
The Strategic Use of Four Kinds of Testosterone – Cypionate, Enanthate, Propionate, Suspension
Q: “I’ve gotten my hands on four kinds of testosterone: cypionate, enanthate, propionate, and suspension. Can I tailor their use to my advantage or does it not make much difference?” A: The principal practical difference between these is duration of action. There’s also some difference in the amount of actual testosterone contained per milligram of […]
Recommended Recovery Time Between Anabolic Steroid Cycles
Q: “How much recovery time should I allow between steroid cycles?” A: The first factor is that recovery of the HPTA (hypothalamus, pituitary, and testicular axis) from one cycle should always occur fully before starting the next. Where an anabolic steroid cycle is very short, such as only 2 weeks, steroid cycle recovery can be […]
Trenbolone Side Effects: Night Sweats and Reduced Cardio Capacity
Q: “My trenbolone cycle has greatly reduced by cardio capacity, and the night sweats are extreme. Even my dog won’t sleep with me, let alone my girlfriend. Yet two friends are doing the exact same cycle as me with no issues at all. Is this always going to happen to me with trenbolone? Even with […]
An Explanation of “Tren Cough” from Trenbolone Acetate
Q: “I used trenbolone acetate previously with great success, but now am getting terrible tren cough from it on many of my injections. It usually only lasts perhaps 30 seconds, but is severe enough to have me wondering if I’ll live. I know I will, but it doesn’t feel like it. What is happening, and […]
How to Protect the Liver During Anabolic Steroid Use
Q: “What can I do with my anabolic steroid cycle planning to help protect my liver?” A: First, liver harm from anabolic steroids comes principally or entirely from alkylated anabolic steroids. Where the steroids are non-alkylated and estradiol levels remain normal, there’s almost never harm to the liver from steroid use. (A handful of apparent […]
Best Blood Tests for Evaluating Liver Function During Anabolic Steroid Use
Q: “What blood test values are the most useful for evaluating liver function during anabolic steroid cycles?” A: While AST and ALT often get the most attention, three other values are much more useful for evaluating liver function in anabolic steroid cycles. GGT is present in liver cells and is released into the blood when […]
Anabolic Steroids, Liver Function and AST and ALT Blood Test
Q: “How do I evaluate the AST and ALT values of my blood test? I wanted to have before-cycle values, but waited till the last minute to order a test online. By the time I actually did the test, I was a week into my cycle. I’m using testosterone 500 mg/week plus Dianabol 50 mg/day […]
Anabolic Steroids and Proper Estrogen Control for Maximizing Fat Loss
Q: “I’ve found a lot of information referring to cutting steroids and cutting cycles and it’s really not clear to me what I need to do. Are there particular anabolic steroids that I really need to include if I’m cutting, or any that I particularly need to avoid?” A: I haven’t found any great difference in […]
The Use of a Single Anabolic Steroid for “Enhanced” Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
Q: “I want to use the minimum number of drugs for an “enhanced” hormone replacement therapy (HRT) protocol. I’d prefer really to use only one drug. I could use testosterone, but if I do that, then I can’t use very much without putting my estradiol higher than I want to. Letrozole won’t work for me, […]
