Thread: The PRO1's cycle

Lets cut to the chase.

We all know what it takes to be a pro bodybuilder; dedication, desire, consistency with diet, training and supplementation but perhaps the most interesting part is that of a pro's cycle. It's also something that many are not willing to divulge or discuss, certainly not with anyone outside their close circle of friends/associates.

I am not going to give my name, not because I fear retribution by the IFBB but more because I am a fairly private person and wish to remain anonymous. Whether you choose to believe my pro status is up to you, it has no bearing on me or what I will be posting here, I will just say it as it is.

This is my current cycle

On waking and before bed:- 2ius Pharma grade GH, 7 days a week.

Weeks 1-4

1000mgs sustenon EW
400mgs norma deca EW
30mgs dbol ED (split into 3 doses)
50mgs anavar ED (split into 2 doses)

Weeks 5-8

1000mgs test enanthate EW
400mgs tren enanthate EW
50mgs anapolon ED (split into 2 doses)
50mgs winstrol ED (split into 2 doses)

Weeks 9-12

100mgs test propionate EOD
100mgs tren acetate EOD
50mgs anavar ED (split into 2 doses)
30mgs halotestin ED (split into 3 doses)

Weeks 13-16

PCT protocol

Weeks 17-18

Off all meds including PCT

I am currently 5 days into my first block of 4 weeks and around 4lbs up on my starting weight of 204lbs. I am now sitting at 208lbs, stripped in the morning.

I will add in my thoughts to this thread on a daily basis.

My lower back has already started to feel pumped at times especially when training hamstrings and calves today. I normally find this on anavar.
My energy levels are great and I feel great. I am sleeping well and normally rising to use the bathroom 1-2x per night.

My strength is rising nicely and today performed 3 sets of 8 straight legged deadlifts with 350lbs.

Tomorrow is sunday and is a rest day.

Got to ask, why are you using strong aromatising orals like dbol with var and oxy with winny? i don't get it.
PS, welcome to the board.

Good question and thankyou for your welcome.

The idea is to link an androgenic compound with a compound more anabolic in nature, same with the injectables too.

This theme runs throughout the 12 week cycle.

BTW oxy doesn't really aromatise.

after week 18 do you go back on cycle or have a certain amount of time off.

I like the idea of the cycle and have seen alot of very similar cycles off really big lads and highly competitive ones over on US boards. However they usually change compounds at the 6/8 week mark any reason you change at 4? have you tried different length blocks and found this works best?

Thanks, i see what you are trying to do.
I'll strongly disagree that oxy doesn't aromatise though, it just aromatises through a different mechanism.
Good luck, i'll follow with interest.

bump for later

Yes indeed, but does not aromatise in the conventional way.

After the 6 week break I would then decide what to do. I normally have no game plan, it really depends on my blood work that my physician does and what he suggests I do regarding time off.

Thus far apart from the odd raised liver value, I have remained incredibly healthy.

I like to change compounds earlier than some may, as I have found that I normally start to plateau at around week 4-5.

I have used steroids in varying doses for around 8 years now, this is the heaviest cycle I have ever done and so I wished to document it for you good people to see. Hopefully we can all learn from it.

Interesting stuff. Do you use insulin?

are you going to be covering food intake and training breakdowns in this thread?

I have done in the past but really only recommend it for hardgainers and typical ecto's or meso/ecto body types, that have crazy metabolisms.

I am a pretty standard meso and have no problem gaining or losing weight, so insulin for me is just another drug I dont feel I need.

Bottom line is you have to be lean to use insulin and get the greatest benefit from it, too fat and it will just be anabolic to that tissue...Fat (adipose) tissue.

what was the rest of ur leg workout???

No this is just purely from an AAS perspective. Here however is a rough guidline to what I am doing presently.

I eat around 3800-4000kcals daily spread over around 7 meals. Same carbs, same protein in every meal, even in my PWO shake.

My body works well on routine and when it knows what it's going to eat and when.

I train 5 days a week

Mon chest/tri's
Tues quads
Wed off
Thurs back/bi's
Fri shoulders
Sat hams/calves
Sun off

No cardio off season.
