I'm going to start a cycle in a couple of weeks and would like a response from some Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) vets, and opinions on the brands I am about to purchase.

wks 1-2 test enanthate (ICN) 1500mg
wks 3-12 test enanthate (ICN) 750mg
wks 1-12 deca (Yellow tops) 600mg
wks 1-5 dbol (napoism) 40mg
wks 5-12 tren (homebrew) 75mg ed

standard post therapy (HCG)

My stats are: 23 yrs old, 190lbs, 12% bf

this will be my 3rd cycle

Looking to gain as much mass as possible

Thanks,
BjuiceN
 
Those brands are all rock solid, including the homebrew.:)

The cycle looks good, except that the timing at the end is a bit off. You want to time your shots so that your blood levels stay up as long as possible and then fall off very quickly so that you can recover. I assume that you are going to use clomid with or following the HCG.

I would stop the ethanate and deca in week 10. Those long esters will fall off slow, but then you will be using the short ester tren into week 12 and can begin clomid in the middle of week 13. You could run propinate with the tren, that would be even better.
 
Check this classic post out from Andy 13

A comprehensive look at modern Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) cycling by ANDY 13
If you are planning a 10 week cycle, the goal is to be at highest blood concentrations for as many of the 10 weeks as possible.

If you use a long ester such as deca at xmg/week, it will take you 4-5 weeks to build up to max blood concentrations possible for xmg/week. So half of your cycle is not wasted, but you are not maximizing efficiency.

When coming off a cycle, the waiting period before clomid therapy begins will vary depending on the type and dose of the AAS. If you ran 500mg/week of deca for 10 weeks, a month after your last shot, you will still have around 200mg of esterified deca in your system. This is more than enough to prevent recovery. This is the reason why recovery is more difficult with a deca (or another long acting ester).

Let's calculate the amount accumulated in the body after 6 weeks of 500mg/deca. Let's say you inject it once a week and we'll give it a 1.5 week half life. Note that injection frequency makes a huge difference in blood concentration stability but no difference in amount of esterified in the system

E (greek letter "sigma") 500*e^(ln(1/2)n/1.5) from n=0 to n=6. So after 6 weeks, about 1300mg of esterified nandrolone remain in the body.

Now lets see how long, after the initial injection, it takes to reduce to a small enough amount that permits recovery.

1300*e^(ln(1/2)n/1.5) After 3 weeks, 325 mg of esterified remain

after 6 weeks, 81 mg of esterified remain.

After 8 weeks, 32mg of esterified remain.


Most guys go with "time on=time off." This will not work with long esters as I have demonstrated above. For at least a month after your last shot you are in what I call a "time in-effiency" period where you are no longer reaping the benefits of you Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) but you are not recovering either. The goal of the modern cycle is to minimize this wasted time.

The key components are:
1) Front end loading this cuts down on wasted time in the beginning of your cycle waiting for the doses to reach full theraputic levels. This concept has been used before but (as far as I know) I was the first one to quantify it mathmatically. Zyg has taken the math one step further with a graph showing, visually, the importance. Graph of eq loading

The use of orals in the beginning of a cycle is a popular component of a cycle. While I don't feel it is a nessecity, it too is a (different) type of front end load. For the advnaced BBer, dbol should be taken in the beginning of a cycle as well as loading the injectables since the anabolic response from dbol is alleged to be by a different mechanism than most injectables. If one had to chose between a dbol load and and injectable load, in most cases, the injectable load should be prefered over the dbol load.

2) Injection frequency This is crucial to obtaining even blood concentrations of androgens. Ideally, the more often injected, the better. An acceptable rule of thumb is "inject at half of the half life." For instance, if the half life of a steroid is 7 days, this should be injected at least twice weekly. For cycles that involve multiple injectables, the injections should be fractioned out and divided up based on the injectable with the shortest half life. For instance, if you were doing a test propionate and deca cycle, the old school way to do it would be to inject the prop EOD and the deca once a week. Both compounds should not be viewed as separate, but together with total androgen concentration taken into consideration. If you injected the deca only once a week, probably along with one of the propionate injections, that day will have a much larger spike on total blood androgen concentrations. Instead, the deca should be split up and taken with the propionate injections, EOD. This way there is no one day of the week that has a "spike" and even blood concentrations are maintained throughout the week.

3) Ending the cycle Switching to shorter esters toward the end of a cycle makes perfect sence however not too many guys incorporate this practice- perhaps because of the lack of variety of drugs. The modern cycle should include replacing long ester injectables with shorter ones so that recovery time is made more efficient. The necesity of switching to shorter esters toward the end of a cycle depends on the type of drugs used. Longer esters such as deca and eq should be replaced with shorter acting versions of these compounds no later than four weeks before the end of a cycle. Medium length esters such as t-enanthate and cypionate should be replaced no later than three weeks before the end of a cycle. A couple examples of appropriate replacements are: trenbolone acetate and testosterone propionate. There is no need to "load" these compounds in the middle of a cycle since 1) they are already "fast acting" and 2) blood androgen concentrations are already high.

4) Recovery With the replacement of the faster acting injectables toward the end of a cycle, the "wasted" time between the end of a cycle and beginning of clomid therapy is reduced. For instance, if 100mg TA is used ED, clomid therapy may begin in as little as 5 days after the last shot. This tremendously impoves time efficiency. Clomid therapy usually last for four weeks. An excellent thread posted by The Iron Game describes this in further detail Clomid FAQ's .

When the above recomendations are made, your cycle itself is made much more efficient and if recovery time is made more efficient as well, time "off" Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) may very well be reduced so that the overall efficiency of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) use over time is tremendously improved.

Thanks for the reply, now that you mentioned it prop sounds like a great addition to the end of the cycle. Other than that when I had mentioned (brands) I have just heard some bad stories about ICN's but these are supposed to be a new batch. Also at the end I will definately use clomid I had just forgot to mention it.

If I am reading that right from week 3 on your injecting 2.25 gr of test a week???? Or is that 1500 mg spread out over the course of time?

If not that is a WHOLE lotta test and just begging for sides and hard core hpta suppression. Use come Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) during cycle to combat that if your doing such doses.

Other than that you will get huge :)
 
I'm not injecting 2.25 grams a week, for the first two weeks I am going to do a frontload of 1.5 grams and then weeks 3-10 I decided to go with 750mg a week, and as Trevdog said prop at the end at 50mg every day weeks 11-12
 
I would run that tren 2 weeks past the Test....so you can start up your post therapy.

looks like a sweet cycle
 
so you mean like this?
wks 1-5 40mg dbol
wks 1-2 1500mg enanthate
wks 3-10 750mg enanthate
wks 10-12 50mg prop ed
wks 1-12 600mg deca
wks 5-14 75mg tren ed
