Mesterone Cycle
We mentioned earlier that masteron has two main functions
1. Masteron provides aesthetic enhancement (primarily visually pleasing effects rather than strength, performance, or size).
Masteron does this by acting as an aromatase inhibitor and a sort of anti-estrogen, which reduces the potential for subcutaneous water retention to obscure the view of the muscles below.
The result is a physique enhancing effect commonly referred to as a 'hardening' or 'chiseling' effect.
In fact, this is the mechanism by which Masteron produces this 'hardening' effect.
However, it is important to note that in order to experience this effect to its fullest extent, the user must have a low body fat percentage, otherwise the effects of Masteron will be useless for individuals with a body fat percentage above a certain amount.
2. Masteron will potentiate (to some extent) the effects of other anabolic steroids stacked in various Masteron cycles.
As mentioned earlier, Masteron has a moderate anabolic strength rating, making it slightly stronger than testosterone and in some cases, possibly weaker.
The greatest benefit of Masteron lies in its ability to aid and enhance the activity and effects of other compounds used in conjunction with it.
In other words, it helps other anabolic steroids that you use with Masteron to work better.
This occurs not only through its anti-estrogenic and anti-aromatase effects, but also through its ability to prevent measurable amounts of SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) from binding to and deactivating other anabolic steroids.
This is a characteristic shared by all DHT derivative compounds (Winstrol, Anavar, Primobolan, etc.) to varying degrees.
As such, Masteron is best used in conjunction with other compounds in any Masteron cycle.
Only when used in this manner can Masteron be successfully utilized in a bulking or lean mass cycle, as its use as the primary anabolic steroid in such cycles will typically result in below average results (to the disappointment of the user).
The perfect Masteron cycle, however, is a pre-contest and cutting cycle where body fat loss and visual definition and sharpness of the muscles are the most important and primary goals.
Beginner Mastery Cycle
Example Beginner Masteronomy Cycle (12-week total cycle)
|
1- 12Week |
- Testosterone Enanthate 300 - 500mg /Week
- Masteron 400mg /Week |
||
This is basically a basic beginner example of a Masteron cycle using the enanthate variant of Masteron.
In this particular case, the enanthate variant of Masteron was chosen for the convenience aspect often sought by novice anabolic steroid users.
The enanthate variant allows for an infrequent injection schedule and combines perfectly with the enanthate variant of testosterone.
In this case, testosterone is used in the bodybuilding range of 300 - 500mg weekly (depending on the user's preference, as the individual's experience with testosterone should allow the user to understand the appropriate testosterone dose).
The general idea of a Masteron cycle like this is to provide an introduction to Masteron and the effects experienced.
Due to the aromatase inhibitory effects of Masteron, it is unlikely that the user will need to use an additional aromatase inhibitor to counteract the aromatization potential of testosterone in this case.
However, it is important to understand that Masteron is not as potent an aromatase inhibitor as some of the more potent ancillary aromatase inhibitors such as Aromasin, Arimidex, or Letrozole.
When the dose of aromatizable compounds in a stack becomes too high, the aromatase inhibitory effects of Masteron will not be able to meet the aromatase inhibition needs in these cases.
Many have reported developing gynecomastia during cycles using Masteron with aromatizable compounds such as Dianabol and testosterone.
Intermediate Masteron Cycle
Example Intermediate Masteron Cycle (10 week total cycle)
|
1- 10Week |
- Testosterone Propionate 100mg /week (25mg every other day)
- Masteron 400mg/week (100mg every other day) |
||
|
1- 8Week |
– Anavar 50 - 70mg /day |
||
This is an intermediate Masteron cycle, designed to get the body as 'hard' as possible with fat loss or lean mass gain, while minimizing fat gain and water retention (provided the individual's diet is adjusted to achieve these desired goals).
Testosterone is relegated to a supporting role at a weekly testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose of 100 mg.
The testosterone in this cycle is present only to maintain normal and proper physiologic function, which is dominated by testosterone in the absence of natural endogenous production of testosterone due to the use of anabolic steroids in this cycle.
The use of testosterone in such low doses negates any possible aromatization without the need for an aromatase inhibitor.
In this cycle, Masteron can further facilitate this by acting as an aromatase inhibitor itself.
Using Masteron and Anavar as the main ingredients will help to provide a lean hard physique during a caloric deficit in a cutting cycle or when adding lean mass without water retention or fat retention/gain in a lean mass cycle.
Advanced Masteron Cycle
Advanced Masteron Cycle Example (10 weeks total cycle time)
|
1- 10Week |
- Testosterone Propionate 100mg /week (25mg every other day)
- Masteron (Drostanolone Propionate) 400mg /week (100mg every other day)
-Trenbolone Acetate 400mg /week (100mg every other day) |
||
This is the strongest cycle designed to harden the physique for a pre-contest or cutting phase, while still providing enough anabolism to build muscle mass or a complete bulk up.
It is all the same as the Masteron Intermediate cycle listed above with the exception of the addition of trenbolone.
The combination of testosterone, trenbolone, and Masteron has long been considered the stack that provides the most noticeable and dramatic physique changes (provided the user's nutrition and training are tweaked to favor such results).
Trenbolone itself is extremely potent and does not convert to estrogen.
If nutrition and training are perfect in conjunction with Masteron in such a cycle, most individuals should be able to achieve a physique suitable for competition.
