Anadrol (Oxy) Dosage Cycles
We have mentioned before that anadrol is an anabolic steroid that does not have a lot of flexibility in terms of its use and how it is used in an anadrol cycle.
This is probably the single most inflexible and least versatile anabolic steroid, despite its absolute pure strength, which is unmatched by any other oral anabolic steroid.
With an aromatase inhibitor, there is essentially no defense against excess water weight and bloating issues other than dietary control, as water retention and bloating cannot be counteracted (and even then, dietary control may have limited effectiveness).
Estrogenic effects are a problem with anadrol (oxy) even if it can't convert to estrogen, so anadrol (oxy) cycles are generally saved for pure bulking and strength gains.
Anadrol cycles are almost always exclusively bulking and strength gaining cycles.
It is very rare to see Anadrol used for fat loss and shredding purposes.
While it is possible for an individual to 'cut' Anadrol (or any anabolic steroid for that matter), it should be made clear that this is not advisable as the physique will become soft and bloated due to the unpreventable water retention of Anadrol.
Anadrol cycles typically involve anadrol stacked with other compounds to add bulk, lots of mass, and strength.
Common and usual compounds that are usually stacked in an oxy (anadrol) cycle include
"Testosterone, Trenbolone, and Nandrolone (Deca Durabolin)."
Testosterone is an absolutely essential addition to any compound, and should be used in at least a TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) dose to maintain normal physiological function while natural endogenous testosterone levels are blocked or suppressed.
The use of other compounds such as trenbolone and/or nandrolone will provide additional anabolic strength for purely bulking and strength gaining purposes.
Anadrol is rarely stacked with milder compounds such as primobolan or winstrol (injectable), as the absolute strength of anadrol dwarfs the mild nature of these compounds.
Anadrol is best used in combination with other powerful compounds for bulking up.
It is important to remember that a cycle of Anadrol (Oxymetholone) should not include any additional oral compounds.
It is a general rule of safety and modesty that two oral anabolic steroids should not be used at the same time (or back-to-back) in a cycle.
Anadrol further emphasizes this safety factor and should be the only oral anabolic steroid run in a given cycle due to its strong hepatotoxic properties.
The use of oral anabolic steroids in conjunction with anadrol greatly increases the risk of liver damage.
Beginner Anadrol Cycle
Example beginner anadrol cycle (12weeks total cycle time)
|
1-12week |
- Testosterone Enanthate 300 - 500mg /week |
||
|
1-6week |
- Anadrol 25 - 50mg /day |
||
A basic beginner anadrol cycle is presented here, where testosterone is used in a high enough dose to provide anabolic effects and anadrol is provided in a typical starting dose range for beginners.
Due to the very high estrogenic nature of this stack, it is recommended to keep an aromatase inhibitor as well as a SERM such as Nolvadex on hand.
The doses of testosterone used will increase estrogen levels in the body, which will most likely result in aromatization.
Combined with the unique estrogenic activity of Anadrol, this can put you in a high-risk environment where increased blood pressure, bloating, and gynecomastia are concerns.
Nevertheless, this cycle is a great start for beginners looking to bulk up.
Intermediate Anadrol Cycle
Intermediate Anadrol Cycle Example (12 weeks total cycle time)
|
1-12week |
- Testosterone Enanthate 300 - 500mg /week
- Nandrolone Decanoate 400mg/week |
||
|
1-6week |
- Anadrol 50mg /day |
||
This intermediate anadrol cycle has a few changes.
First of all, testosterone is run at a TRT dose where it is relegated to a supporting role in maintaining normal physiological function, and is not the primary anabolic in this cycle.
The idea is to minimize the possibility of further increases in estrogenic activity in the cycle when using a compound like Anadrol.
Deca Durabolin is used here as one of the main anabolic compounds, allowing you to gain a large amount of extra after stopping Anadrol.
Also, as you can see, the dosage of Anadrol (Oxy) has been downgraded to 50mg daily as opposed to the open range of 50 - 100mg daily.
This is because Anadrol is such a powerful anabolic steroid that individuals rarely need to increase their Anadrol dosage.
A 50mg single tablet should provide plenty in terms of mass and strength, especially for intermediate users.
Advanced Anadrol Cycles
Advanced Anadrol Cycle Example (8 weeks total cycle time)
|
1-8week |
- Testosterone Propionate 25mg every other day (100mg /week)
- Trenbolone Acetate 100mg every other day (400mg /week) |
||
|
1-8week |
- Anadrol 100mg /day |
||
This advanced Anadrol cycle offers a shorter cycle time with shorter ester compounds such as Testosterone Propionate and Trenbolone Acetate.
The idea behind these cycles is to allow Oxy (Anadrol) to be a center cycle component rather than a kick start compound (unfortunately limited to 6 weeks of use due to its hepatotoxic effects).
This way it can be stacked with Trenbolone, a much more powerful compound than Anadrol, as well as used for the same duration.
Continued use of Anadrol for 8 weeks is considered to be pushing the limits and is not recommended, especially at doses as high as 100mg daily.
100mg of Anadrol per day is enough to provide very dramatic bulking and strength gains in a cycle, especially when stacked with Tren.
This cycle should be reserved for advanced users only, as the unfathomable rapid strength and size gains that beginners will experience on this cycle will undoubtedly lead to injury.
