Sustanon Dosage Cycle
It cannot be reiterated enough that Sustanon is a testosterone product, as many people have the misconception that it is not a testosterone product and should be treated differently.
Sustanon should be viewed with the same attitude as any other form of testosterone and cycles should be no different.
Testosterone is a very versatile anabolic steroid that, as mentioned earlier, can stand alone, a property that few other anabolic steroids possess, and is extremely versatile and flexible in terms of what it can be used for and how it can be used in a cycle.
Sustanon can be a very strong and powerful anabolic steroid on its own, but it is typically used in a cycle with other anabolic steroids.
While testosterone can and should be used with any anabolic steroid, there are a few anabolic steroids that are commonly stacked with it.
These include (in order of popularity)
Dianabol, Nandrolone Decanoate (aka Deca Durabolin), Boldenone Undecylenate (aka Equipoise), Winstrol, and Primobolan.
The most common sustanon cycle is Testosterone/Deca Durabolin/Dianabol, which is the most famous and popular stack with two different compounds.
In this case, the stack involving sustanon can be rewritten as follows Sustanon/Nandrolone/Dianabol.
Remember that Sustanon is simply a testosterone product.
This particular stack of Sustanon / Deca-Durabolin / Dianabol is literally the most popular anabolic steroid stack in the world and in history, a stack that was first designed and pioneered by the golden age of bodybuilders in the 1960s and 1970s.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and his fellow bodybuilders are all known to have used this stack, and it has been the most widely used cycle stack since its inception, used equally by all three tiers of users: beginners, intermediates, and advanced.
Of course, this stack is primarily a bulking and strength stack, which is why it is so appealing to most user types of all experience backgrounds.
A Sustanon cycle for fat loss or cutting is indeed possible, and can actually be run at a much lower dose, as the purpose of anabolic steroids used during a fat loss period is simply to prevent the loss of muscle mass during a calorie deficit.
However, it is important for potential users to remember that during weight loss and fat loss cycles, aromatizing products like Sustanon typically cause bloating and water retention, which is undesirable for most people participating in a fat loss cycle.
Therefore, if aromatization and elevated estrogen levels are undesirable in these situations, an aromatase inhibitor should be used to prevent the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.
Most bodybuilders and athletes generally want to maintain a lean and hard physique, not a soft physique caused by water retention.
One final piece of advice regarding sustanon cycles is that all sustanon cycles should be run longer, in the 10 to 12 week range, as most of the testosterone esters in sustanon mixtures are long esters.
This is because the longer ester affects the half-life and release rate of the drug, resulting in a slower increase in plasma levels and a longer period of time required to reach optimal plasma levels.
Beginner Sustanon Cycle
Example Beginner Sustanon Cycle (12 weeks)
|
1- 12weeks |
- Sustanon 250 300 - 500mg /week |
||
This cycle, the basic beginner sustanon cycle, is generally considered the first cycle for any beginner using anabolic steroids.
All first cycles for anabolic steroid beginners should always use some form of testosterone only.
A testosterone-only cycle provides the user with a safe compound (testosterone) that the body is already naturally accustomed to, as everyone already produces endogenous testosterone.
This allows the user to measure their response to testosterone, the most basic anabolic steroid.
This measurement process allows the individual to evaluate their potential response to other anabolic steroids.
This is because if you react horribly to a basic testosterone cycle, you are likely to have an even worse reaction to most other compounds that are essentially modified analogs of testosterone.
In this cycle, Sustanon is used as the testosterone product in question, and this cycle should generally be run as a bulking and strength building cycle.
Intermediate Sustanon Cycle
Intermediate Sustanon Cycle Example (12 weeks)
|
1- 12weeks |
- Sustanon 250 500mg /week - Nandrolone decanoate (aka Deca-Durabolin) 400mg /week |
||
|
1- 4weeks |
- Dianabol 25mg /day |
||
This intermediate sustanon cycle introduces the popular and very famous Testosterone/Deca/Dianabol stack described earlier.
At one time it was recommended that this stack was also suitable for beginners, but logic dictates that this is not the case.
As discussed in the beginner cycle example above, a cycle using testosterone alone is the ideal first beginner cycle.
The problem with using multiple compounds together in a beginner's first cycle is that it can be potentially dangerous.
A hypothetical beginner who has never used anabolic steroids or run a cycle before would not know what to expect when using them.
If a stack of different compounds is used for a first cycle and the individual has a very bad reaction, it stands to reason that if three anabolic steroids are used in a stack at once, there may be no way for the individual to determine which anabolic steroid caused the bad reaction.
This could be life-threatening if the reaction is very serious, such as an allergic reaction, for example.
The intermediate stack presented here is very ideal for gaining muscle mass and building strength.
Advanced Sustanon Cycle
Advanced Sustanon Cycle Example (12 weeks)
|
1- 12weeks |
- Sustanon 250 100mg /week - Trenbolone Enanthate 600mg /week |
||
This advanced sustanon cycle demonstrates how normal physiological function can be maintained by using testosterone (in this case Sustanon 250) only as an ancillary compound in the absence of testosterone as a result of endogenous testosterone suppression in the cycle.
As a result, Sustanon 250 is lowered to a TRT dose of 100mg per week, while Trenbolone Enanthate acts as the primary anabolic compound at a higher dose of 600mg per week.
Trenbolone is an anabolic steroid that is only considered for experienced intermediate and advanced anabolic steroid users, which is why it is included in this cycle example.
The TRT dose of testosterone should also significantly limit aromatization to allow for estrogen control without the use of an aromatase inhibitor.
This cycle should not result in water retention, bloating, gynecomastia, or any estrogen related side effects due to the TRT dose of Sustanon and the fact that Trenbolone is a compound that does not aromatize to estrogen at all.
Due to the potent nature of trenbolone, this cycle can also work as a bulking cycle, lean mass cycle, or cutting cycle.
