Keeping Gains after a steroids
cycle:
Look at the table below if you don't want to

The problem that all
athletes face when coming off of a cycle of androgenic anabolic
steroids is keeping the gains they havee worked so hard to attain. Many
experts have spent a great deal of time addressing this situation
and attempting to find a solution. After a great deal of research
and working with bodybuilders, We think we found the most
effective solution to date. By examining other's techniques and
results it was able to determine what is most likely to work
for the average bodybuilder using steroids. We are by no means saying
this is the end of all recovery formula's or that we are experts in
this medical field. We are simply offering an effective solution to the
most common problem all athlete's experience after a cycle.
The first problem is to restore the testicular axis to
normal after having been suppressed from the testosterone intake.
Those athletes who use the compounds that have effect on the levels
of testosterone can use this formula as well to further increase
their gains.
Since we all know
that creatine monohydrate is very effective in maintaining strength
and creatine phosphate stores, it is highly recommended that you
maintain a high dose of 30 grams per day for at least the duration
of this formula.
Assuming you are coming off of
an 8 or 10 week cycle, you should have started tapering the
doses down in the last 2 or 3 weeks. This allows the body to
return to normal levels much more evenly. Let's say that the start
of each week is Monday. On the Monday of week 7 in an
8 week cycle, begin taking 25mg a day of Proviron.
WHY?:
Proviron keeps the ratio in favor of the androgens without
effecting the natural production of testosterone, thereby adding to
spermatogenisis. This double action drug begins to reduce the amount
of estrogen in the body by preventing the aromatization of
testosterone to estrogen so that possible gyno, water retention and
female pattern fat distribution may be avoided. It will also give
the body a much harder look.
The 8th week is when critical timing begins. This is the last week
you are taking steroids and when the body realizes what is starting to happen.
On the Monday of this week, increase the dosage of the Proviron to
50mg a day.
At this time, we also want to use of Cyclofenil.
Cyclofenil is an estrogen that act's as an anti-estrogen and as
stimulant for the body to produce more testosterone. Cyclofenil acts
in a very similar manner to Nolvadex in that it does not block the
aromatization of testosterone, but occupies the estrogen receptors
in the body so that the stronger estrogens cannot become active.
Cyclofenil should be taken once a day at a dose of 100mg.
We
also want to begin to prepare the blood for the following week. We
have to make sure the blood has enough raw material in the way of
steroid intermediates for the testes to increase testosterone
production. To do this, we start taking 250mg of DHEA a day,
starting on the Friday of week 8.
The 9th week is the most critical time of the cycle. This
is where things get interesting. On the Monday, up the dosage of
Cyclofenil to 200mg a day, but keep the Proviron and DHEA at their
respective doses.
On the Thursday we want to inject
5000 IU's of HCG to stimulate the Leydig's cells to produce more
testosterone. Any more than this will overload the system and
convert more to estrogen. On the Friday we want to start the intake
of clomiphene citrate or Clomid.
Clomid stimulates the
entire hypo testicular axis to produce more test and at a faster
rate. We want to start with 100mg a day.
In the 10th week of our formula we continue with all dosages
at their respective levels, but we drop the dose of Clomid to 50mg a
day on the Wednesday. By now the testosterone levels in your body
should be way up there and you will feel like you've just hit your
second wind. Surges in strength are not uncommon here.
The eleventh week is where we start to wind
everything down. On the Monday we discontinue the use of the Clomid
and the DHEA. We also reduce the dose of Proviron to 25mg a day and
the cyclofenil to 100mg a day. We stop taking the cyclofenil
altogether on Friday. Testosterone levels should be very high,
estrogen levels should be fairlylow, and cortisol levels will back
to normal levels. On the Sunday, the last day of the cycle, stop
taking everything. |
      
Now would be the time to start a
cycle of clenbuterol hydrochloride if you so wanted. Starting at a
dose of 20mcg per day and working up to 80-120mcg, depending on how
much you feel you can take in increments of 20mcg per day. You will
know your limit when the side effects become unbearable, mostly the
shaking and uneasiness. Back off that dose by 20mcg a day and stay
with this dose in a two-on, two-off cycle for 3-6 weeks.
During this time it is important to
modify both our training and diet. Since you will need to reduce
your training capacity significantly and give your body time to
readjust itself, I think a simple whole body powerlifting routine is
ideal at this time. It will prevent a loss of strength from the
cycle, even increase it, and not allow you to go into a state of
overtraining.
Stick to the core compound movements and limit the number of
exercises you perform to 12 or less. This will challenge you to hit
as many body parts as possible with only a few exercises. Keep the
sets low and heavy.
This routine also has the benefit of boosting natural
testosterone production from the heavy squats, deadlifts and
presses.
Since we are all advanced athletes, we can look back to our diet
journals and determine what our new maintenance calorie level should
be. Be sure to use your lean body mass and not your total mass when
determining your new maintenance level.
You might want to add additional protein calories now, about
200-300 extra, but be sure you start with at least 1.5 grams of
protein per pound of bodyweight before you add any.
Some notes to keep in mind when using this formula. Always take a
good vitamin and mineral pack ( this is a given at all times ) and
it is a good idea to up your intake of anti-oxidants in general, and
of vitamin C to 3 grams per day in divided doses. It is a good idea
to divide the intake of all substances up into equal doses in the
day to ensure even levels in the blood and to take them all with
fluid after meals. And be sure to drink a lot of
distilled water during this entire period as your kidneys and liver
will be doing overtime for the duration as well.
That is the whole formula. It is not cheap, nor is it taken
lightly. But those who have invested the time and energy in making
the gains will realize that maintaining them is just as important.
Train hard, educate yourself, and best of luck.
