How to Use Proviron with Steroid Cycles and PCT
Q: “How do I use Proviron (mesterolone) during steroid cycles, during PCT (post-cycle therapy), and between cycles?” A: Proviron has no use for anabolic or recovery purposes. It does not aid in building muscle and does not aid in recovering LH production or testosterone production. It’s an odd fact that it doesn’t aid in building […]
What Can Luteinizing Hormone Values Tell Me About My Natural Testosterone Production?
Q: “I do blood testing frequently between steroid cycles, and my LH is all over the map. Values are different even when testosterone is the same. I’m always in the normal range, but want to be high-normal consistently rather than ranging all over. I’ve tried DAA (d-aspartic acid) to improve LH but can’t tell effect […]
What to Do When an Injury Occurs During an Anabolic Steroid Cycle
Q: “I’m 5 weeks into my 14-week steroid cycle but am running into some injury issues. I think I can make the entire cycle without necessarily hurting myself a lot further.

Best Way to Use Oral Anabolic Steroids Within an Eight-Week Steroid Cycle
Q: “I’m planning on a bulking cycle at a dosing level of about a gram of steroids per week. I have testosterone enanthate 200 mg/mL and plenty of Dianabol, and I have a little oxandrolone too. I don’t want to use orals for more than 6 weeks total. Week by week, how would you dose […]
Pyramiding and Tapering Oral Anabolic Steroids During a Steroid Cycle
Q: “How do I time my use of oral anabolic steroids within the weeks of a steroid cycle? Should I pyramid up and down or taper their use?” A: Usually the principal use of oral anabolic steroids within a cycle is to add to the total effect of the stack. In the simplest instance, make […]
Daily and Weekly Timing of Oral Anabolic Steroids
Q: “How do I time my use of oral anabolic steroids during the day or week?” A: For anabolic effect, it’s most efficient for levels to be as sustained as possible across the day, within reason. We could compare, for example, taking Dianabol as 50 mg once per day or as 10 mg five times […]
Long-Term and Low-Dose Oral Steroid Use as an Alternative to Traditional Steroid Cycles
Q: “Instead of doing cycles that suppress my system for weeks on end, I’m considering using oral steroids on some days but not others. One reasons is, I don’t want my bodyweight fluctuating by 20-30 lb at a time. That would raise questions. Shouldn’t total gains per year depend on the total amount of steroids […]
Optimal Cortisol Levels for Maximum Muscle Gains
Q: “I know that for joint health we need cortisol levels to be in the normal range, but with all the evidence of glucocorticoids like cortisol being catabolic, wouldn’t low normal be the best place to be?” A: At least where androgen levels are midnormal or better, no results have ever indicated to me that […]
Can Blocking Cortisol Lead to Steroid-Like Muscle Gains?
Q: “The body is always both building up and tearing down. Except for some ads and articles, everyone seems to focus on the anabolism part but not on cortisol’s role in catabolism. Can I get some steroid-like gains from blocking cortisol?” A: No. For some time now, excellent pharmaceutical anti-aromatases have been available, particularly letrozole […]
