Cycle for the mass. What should it look like? Bodybuilding fans hearing the word mass gain think immediately about Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler and other legendary athletes. Some athletes during the cycle look so impressive that ordinary people wonder: how is that possible?
Unfortunately, such cycles do not look elegant for everyone. Sometimes it may not give you a perfect muscle relief. However, the skinny beginners of the gym may consider you a God. After such people come to gym someone cannot be afraid and hint with a question like what do you use?
For some, the mass cycle is an enjoyable process. A lot of people allow themselves meals that they refused before and could only dream about them. In addition, the mass cycle allows you to be in the phase of getting rapid results on all fronts. Real and obvious results can be seen in body volumes, as well as increasing working weights. However, there are some drawbacks like awful appetite or issues with gastrointestinal tract. For such people, the thought about mass cycle is a true fear.
However, people amid the iron sports understand one more nuance - this is the cycle. A lot of disputes arise: which steroids are better for the set, which are worse? Moreover, what kind of combination of steroids is better to use. Therefore, of course, you will not please everyone, however, there are certain recommendations that can contribute for accomplishing your results. I want to warn you in advance, that usage of certain drugs can have a certain effect on health. Sometimes, in order to achieve maximum effect and preserve health, you need to consider each case individually. Therefore, only recommendations will be given in this article, and not a clear plan for action.
Let's directly discuss the compilation of the cycle. Usually, people recommend to apply the cycle for at least 12 weeks, because of the fact that you can define for yourself clear criteria for actions that really help you. After the application of short cycles, hormonal system will need a recovery, even if you use the drug solo. For this reason, hormonal swings are unpleasant for the body.
Most people want to minimize the side effects of the cycle. Therefore, we will try to consider the option of a mass gain, based on steroid minimalism. The main drug in any cycle is testosterone. Using any anabolic without testosterone is not a very good idea, therefore, in each cycle, the presence of a certain form of testosterone is mandatory. The cycle will run in the order of 12 weeks. I dare to assume that you don't want to make injections almost every other day. For that reason, try to use a long one form of testosterone. For example, enanthate or cypionate, which you can inject once a week.
We can add another drug in order to squeeze the maximum profit from the cycle. In this case, you can use Boldenone, because it provides a lot of benefits. Many replace heavy drugs with Boldenone. However, the anabolic index of the drug, like that of testosterone, is around 100, however Boldenone has a very useful feature, an ability to suppress the side effects of estradiol and lower it. Therefore, you can save a little on this drug not requiting aromatase inhibitors to use. The androgenic activity of the drug is lower, so such a positive effect can have an advantage to a lesser sensitivity of side effects. The weight gain in case of eating disorders will not be as colossal as on others. However, for this reason, you should not expect quick effects from Boldenone. This is a drug of an even background and for long application. Many people feel effect of the full power of boldenone a couple of weeks after application and the maximum profit from the drug, almost in a month and a half.
However, if we approach mass gain goals, I would recommend to add Nandrolone decanoate to this cycle. This drug is a 19-nor or progestin. It can produce a number of various side effects, as well as it acts harder on the axis of the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, testicles. But due to this fact, it can provide a number of positive properties that are irreplaceable during the cycle. One of these advantages is a beneficial effect on the bone ligamentous apparatus. Who actively suffers during the training process? Most gym users are not aware of the correct selection of the intensity or volume of training. Due to this, the structure of ligaments, tendons and joints can begin to suffer. Moreover, gaining extra weight makes our joints work differently and the body may not be ready for such changes. Another issue that can be noticed is the immune system. Deca is a drug that can positively affect this factor. Therefore, certain forms of this drug can still be found in pharmacies where steroids are prohibited. These drugs are very often used for kind of purposes, where the immune system has a not unimportant factor. However, Nandrolone is strongly demonized by its side effects and it is partly true. But nobody forces you to apply large dosages, especially if it is an acquaintance with the “dark side”. And also, if you inject exogenous form of hormones into your body, it is advisable to closely monitor your health condition.
Of course, each drug can be described in details and I would like to talk about the pros and cons. But I think we'll talk about it in other articles. Now we are concerned about the selection of drugs during the week and what we can do additionally. If you are very worried about the length of the cycle and application of three drugs at once and are not ready for that, you can use the option for the first 6 weeks to use only Boldenone and testosterone. After that, you can add Nandrolone for the remaining 6 weeks. However, many people use oral medications with boldenone + testosterone. I don’t consider such idea, because we will consume much more nutrition on the cycle, as well as oral medications can negatively affect the gastrointestinal tract system. At least our small intestine may not be ready for such changes, as well as the density of bile, may negatively affect your condition. Therefore, for a better effect, we can try using nandrolone in small dosages at the beginning.
1–12-week: 375-500 mg of testosterone per week
1–12-week: 500 mg boldenone per week
6-12 or 1-12 week: 250 nandrolone decanoate per week
