This is an excerpt from some of my email correspondence regarding a short
steroid cycle that I thought was rather intriguing. I was just wondering
what some of you guys out there thought about this. Mind you, I don't have
any desire to try this myself, but I thought it made a lot of sense.
Here it is:
> The body doesn't instantly react to changes. The more life threatening
> something is the quicker the body reacts. Turns out that the body's
> feedback mechanism to steroids is between 10 to 14 days. After 10 days
> the body notices that there is a huge increase in anabolic hormones. It
> then tries to bring back the status quo. It does this several ways.
> One is to convert the steroid to estrogen, DHT, shut down your own
> production (which is why your testes shrink) & other ways. Notice that
> these are the nasty side efects from steroid use.
>
> The theory then is to use a max dose of steroids for 10 days and then to
> do a quick taper. This yields the max benefits with the min side
> effects.
>
> So my ideal steroid cycle would use test. susp. for 10 days & sust. for
> the taper. If susp cannot be gotten then test. prop. & sust. If sust.
> cannot be found then test. prop. for both 10 day max portion & taper.

> Day 1: 200mg test. susp.
> Day 2: 200mg test. susp.
> Day 3: 200mg test. susp.
> Day 4: 200mg test. susp.
> Day 5: 200mg test. susp.
> Day 6: 200mg test. susp.
> Day 7: 200mg test. susp.
> Day 8: 200mg test. susp.
> Day 9: 200mg test. susp.
> Day 10: 200mg test. susp. 2 amp sust.
> Day 11: 2 amp sust.
> Day 13: 1 amp sust.
> Day 16: 1 amp sust.
> Day 20: 1 amp sust.
> Day 25: 1 amp sust.
> Day 31: 1 amp sust.

> BTW we only used prop
This guy competes by the way.
