This cycling approach is not very popular except with the “year round” crowd.
The goal is to keep most of the gains after and during a cycle. Basically, making the most out of your cycle.
To accomplish this, I split my bulking cycles in different phases. Phases don’t just consist of different steroids and dosages; they take into account workout intensity, workout volume, caloric intake, macronutrient breakdown...etc. It’s not a question of switching from bulk to cut; it’s much more complicated.
There are 2 major types of cycling
1- Cycling on/off
2- Staying on year round with off periods.
The two methods have there differences and similarities. The main difference is that year round cycling utilizes “cruise” periods, whereas traditional cycling has off periods
Now, personally, I like to come off steroids, so I don’t stay on year round.
Let’s get into every phase of my cycling approach:
-Phase 1- Loading Up
Duration: 6-8 weeks.
Steroid Dosage: Highest
Workout Volume: Highest
Workout Intensity: Highest
Caloric Intake: Highest
Carb intake: Highest
This is what most would call the bulk part of the cycle. Most gains are made the first 6-8 weeks in any cycle. Steroids doses are at there peak as well as food intake and workout intensity. Basically, this is the time to go all out for 6-8 weeks. It’s much easier to give it your all when you only have 6-8 weeks of hell as opposed to 12-16 weeks. It’s certainly not a pleasant time, everything is taken to the extreme.
In my case, here is what Phase 1 will look like for my next cycle:
Test Propionate: 350mg a week
Nandrolone PhenylProp: 700mg a week
Trenbolone Acetate: 260mg a week
Dbol: 15mg ED
Winny: 35mg ED
~1650mg a week
~5000 calories (minimum, I try to get 6000)
350g of Carbs
550g of Protein
150g of Fat
-Phase 2- Transition
Duration: 2 weeks.
Steroid Dosage: Moderate
Workout Volume: Moderate
Workout Intensity: High
Caloric Intake: Moderate
Carb intake: Moderate
This is a transition phase going from putting on as much LBM to maintaining as much LBM as possible. Carb intake goes down as workout volume decreases. This is not the time to add an extremely suppressive steroid like Trenbolone or Anadrol. Adding a strength drug with minimal impact on HPTA is helpful: therefore, Anavar is the most useful tool in this situation. The decrease is gradual and takes place over a 2 week period. Diet should be cleaner and more controlled.
Cycle:
Test Propionate: 350mg a week
Oxandrolone: 50mg ED
~700mg a week
~4000 calories
225g of Carbs
500g of Protein
100g of Fat
-Phase 3- Anavar Taper
Duration: 2 weeks.
Steroid Dosage: Low
Workout Volume: Low
Workout Intensity: Moderate
Caloric Intake: Moderate
Carb intake: Low
This is the last phase of the steroid part of the cycle. It consists of Anavar only. Anavar is expensive, but most people can afford Anavar at 25-40mg ED for 2-4 weeks. It can make the difference in how many lbs of LBM are maintained post cycle. 2 weeks is the minimum recommended duration for this phase, but it can be extended to 4 weeks depending on what steroids are still in circulation from the last phase. The last week consists of a down taper, starting at full dose and gradually going down to 15-25mg everyday.
Cycle:
Oxandrolone: 50mg ED
~350mg a week
~3500 calories
150g of Carbs
500g of Protein
100g of Fat
-Phase 4- Immediate PCT
Duration: 2 weeks.
Steroid Dosage: Zero
Workout Volume: Low
Workout Intensity: Moderate
Caloric Intake: Moderate
Carb intake: Moderate
This is the first post cycle therapy phase. Workout volume is considerably low, caloric intake is at maintenance. The goal is to keep strength levels up as much as possible to maintain LBM. Clenbuterol boosts strength and takes care of the immediate lethargy felt post cycle. HGC is not entirely necessary; clomid therapy can be introduced right away instead.
Drug Use:
Clenbuterol: 80-100mcg ED
HCG: 500iu ED
Nolvadex: 20mg ED
~3000 calories
150g of Carbs
400g of Protein
100g of Fat
-Phase 5- Clomid Therapy
Duration: 3 weeks.
Steroid Dosage: Zero
Workout Volume: Low
Workout Intensity: Moderate
Caloric Intake: Moderate
Carb intake: Moderate
Drug Use:
Clomid: 50-100mg ED
B-12: 1000mcg E3D
~3000 calories
150g of Carbs
400g of Protein
100g of Fat
So to recap:
-Phase 1: Loading Up
The mass gaining part of the cycle, AS use/Training/Caloric intake are at there heaviest for 6-8 weeks.
-Phase 2: Transition
Switching from gaining to maintaining, AS use/Training/Caloric intake is gradually reduced for 2 weeks.
-Phase 3: Anavar Taper
25-40mg of Anavar every day for 2 weeks makes for an easier recovery of the HPTA and a smoother steroid withdrawl.
-Post-Cycle therapy:
Phase 4 and 5
Clenbuterol is crucial right after a cycle for 2-3 weeks. HCG and /or Dbol bridge can be used, but it’s not necessary; clomid therapy can be introduced right way.
