10 Amazing Steroid Cycles to Run in 2019

Published

on

        There are loads of great 10 Steroid Cycles 2019 aimed at different standards of a bodybuilder or looking at a different outcome. I've just picked out ten great ones and given a brief description of each. Please bear in mind that sometimes there are different names for drugs depending on where you are in the world or who makes it.

           Most importantly - do not even consider using steroids unless your diet is ideal for gaining muscle mass, even if you are looking to increase your definition. You should also be training very hard and regular. Make sure your natural gains have slowed down if this is to be your first time. Read the other articles on MuscleTalk, or post questions on the board if you have any queries.

Post Cycle Therapy Importance

        Gynecomastia (presence of female breast tissue) and other aromatizing side effects of some steroids (for example water retention) may be more apparent in certain individuals. If this is a problem take 20mg per day of Nolvadex / Tamoxifen until symptoms disappear, then continue with 10mg per day until the end of the cycle or Clomid. It is generally thought best not to take Nolvadex unless you have these side effects, though it is good practice to keep some in stock in case it's required.

          Clomid or HCG may be taken post cycle if a few weeks break is expected. This is in order to help kick-start your own natural testosterone secretion, to minimize post-cycle side effects and, more importantly, to minimize any muscle loss after a course. There are a number of recommended ways to take Clomid, but an effective method is 100mg per day for 7 days commencing 7-18 days post cycle depending on what is in the cycle. This is followed by a further 50mg per day for a further 2 weeks.

         Some folk prefers to use HCG, and after heavy stacks, both may be suggested. HCG should commence during the last week, with a jab weekly, for 3 jabs of 2500iu each.

         Also, I've not mentioned beta-agonists, thyroid hormones or growth hormone in this article. These can be added to any of the stacks as appropriate.

1. Beginner Steroid Cycle 2019 – Deca + Sust + IGF:

Click Below to Check Price Of These Steroids

Deca-Durabolin | Sustanon 250 | IGF 1 Lr3

    Deca Durabolin - 200-400mg per week for 8 weeks
Sustanon 250 OR Testaviron Depot - 500mg per week for 8 weeks 
IGF 1 Lr3 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 LongR3) 30mcg daily for a full 8 weeks.

          This is a standard first course recommended by most, even if the individual wishes to lose fat (as diet is the key to fat mobilization, NOT gear). Whether you opt for Testaviron or Sustanon is a personal choice or depends on availability; both are great drugs. 400mg of Deca per week is generally assumed to be the minimum amount for gains, however, many first time users do extremely well on less than this.

        Continue on this for the full 8 weeks, but if you are still growing well, why stop? Review gains every two weeks, and it may be continued for 10, 12 or more weeks. Nolvadex should be on hand in case symptoms of aromatization become apparent. Clomid should be used post cycle commencing at 10-14 days afterward.

      The testosterone and the Deca can be split down into 2-3 shots per week: 250mg of the test (1ml) plus 100mg of Deca (1ml) mixed into the same syringe and another of 200mg of Deca (2ml).

2. Beginners Steroid Cycle 2019 - The Classic Mass Builder:

Classic Mass Builder

 This is a variation on the above:

IGF 1 Lr3 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 LongR3) 30mcg daily for full 8 weeks
Deca Durabolin - 400mg per week for 8 weeks
Sustanon 250 OR Testaviron depot - 500mg per week for 8 weeks
AnaTREX - 30mg per day, six days per week for 6 weeks.

Deca-Durabolin | Sustanon 250 | IGF 1 Lr3| AnaTREX

          This stack should produce good results for the steroid user looking for mass. Here the Deca should be 400mg for optimum effects, and the Dianabol at the onset helps kick-start the cycle while you are waiting for the longer-acting Deca and test to take effect.

         Nolvadex should be on hand in case symptoms of aromatization become apparent. Clomid should be used post cycle commencing at 10-14 days afterward. You may hold a lot of water from this brought about by the Dianabol and the testosterone but this can be reduced by the use of Nolvadex / Tamoxifen or Arimidex.

Must Read: 5 Best Steroid Cycles for 2019

         The dosage of Dianabol may be divided out throughout the day and taken every 3-4 hrs as it has such a short half-life. Though most people take half in the morning and a half in the evening. Take them with/after a protein-based meal.

       The testosterone and the Deca can be split down into 3 shots per week: 250mg of the test (1ml) plus 100mg of Deca (1ml) mixed into the same syringe and another of 200mg of Deca (2ml).

3. My Coach’s Favorite Steroid Cycle 2019 - Test + Deca + Dbol + IGF:

Click Below to Check Price Of These Steroids

Deca-Durabolin | IGF 1 Lr3 | Dianabol | Testoviron Depot

     One of my many favorites, again a variation on the above, just with more dosage. This one is a great mass builder and for the more advanced bodybuilder:

Testoviron Depot - 750mg per week for 8 weeks
Deca Durabolin - 500mg per week for 8 weeks
Methandienone - 30mg per day, Monday to Friday weeks 2-7
IGF 1 Lr3 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 LongR3) 50mcg daily for full 8 weeks

      This is a big stack, but not huge, but bloody great !!! I always seem to grow well on Testaviron.

     The above instructions apply, i.e. Nolvadex, Clomid, etc. Clomid should begin 7 days post cycle.

4. One of My Teammate's Claims this is His Favorite Steroid Cycle Which He Has Done a Few Times:

One of My Teammate's Claims this is His Favorite Cycle Which He Has Done a Few Times

Weeks 1 - 4
Sustanon 250 - 1,000mg per week
Testaviron depot - 1,000mg per week
Anadrol50 / Anapolan 50 - 100mg per day

 Weeks 5 - 8
Sustanon 250 - 500mg per week
Testaviron depot - 1,500mg per week
Dianabol / Anabol - 50mg per day
Deca Durabolin - 400mg per week

Weeks 9 - 12
Sustanon 250 - 500mg per week
Testaviron depot - 250mg per week
Deca Durabolin - 400mg per week

Nolvadex 10mg per day all through
Proviron - 50mg per day weeks 2 to 6.
Commence Clomid week 10 - 50mgs per day for 14 days
HCG - 2 shots per week of 2500iu with the Clomid

         This is a big cycle, and very androgenic. Like me, Trident swears by Testaviron. Side effects may be high, hence the use of Nolvadex throughout, and the use of Clomid commencing 14 days afterward, and HCG before the end of the cycle. The use of HCG gets your own testosterone levels up before any fall in androgens. There is a degree of tapering in this cycle due to its high testosterone amounts.

Deca-Durabolin | Dianabol | Testoviron Depot  

Sustanon 250 | Anadrol50 | Nolvadex | Proviron | Clomid | HCG

5. Superman's Cutting Super Stack – Tren + Winstrol + Test Prop:

This is another great lean mass builder, from a prominent lifter:

Finajet / Trenbolone - 75mg per day
Winstrol - 50mg per day
Testosterone propionate - 100mg every other day

A six-week course and the usual precautions apply.

6. Phantomdh's 'Sus-Deca-Dbol-End-With-Winny' Stack:

Phantomdh's favorite cycle is the 'Sus-Deca-Dbol-end-with-Winny' cycle:

Sustanon 250 - 500mg per week, weeks 1-10
Deca Durabolin - 400mg per week, weeks 1-10
Dianabol - 35mg per day, weeks 1-4
Winstrol 30mg/ed, weeks 5-10

This is another great mass builder. The usual precautions apply.

7. A Testosterone-Free Lean Mass Builder – Primo+Deca+Winstrol:

          This is one if you want to avoid testosterone-based steroids. It's too often assumed that just because 'mild' steroids like Primobolan are not very androgenic, then they're not very good mass builders. Remember, all steroids are anabolic, and Primobolan as part of a stack is an excellent adjunct:

Primobolan depot - 300mg per week for 8 weeks
Deca Durabolin - 400mg per week for 8 weeks
Winstrol - 150mg per week, weeks 2-7

         This is not a huge stack but is great for building quality, lean size (coupled with a sensible diet). We have a number of non-bodybuilding members of Etalaze, e.g. athletes, footballers, etc, and this may be a great cycle for them to try. 

8. Bulking Frontloader:

         This is a great cycle for bulking, used as an example of frontloading Equipoise and Deca:

Week 1 - Frontloading
Equipoise / Bolde - 800mg per week
Deca Durabolin - 800mg per week
Testosterone propionate - 100 mg every other day

Week 2:

Equipoise / Boldenone - 400mg per week
Deca Durabolin - 400mg per week
Testosterone propionate - 100 mg every other day

Week 3 - 4:

Equipoise / Bolderbol-H - 400mg per week
Deca Durabolin - 400mg per week
Winstrol - 50mg every other day

Week 5 - 8:

Equipoise / Bolde - 400mg per week
Deca Durabolin - 400mg per week
Winstrol - 50mg every other day

Week 9 and 10:

Equipoise / Boldenone- 400mg per week
Deca Durabolin - 400mg per week
Testosterone propionate: 100mg every other day

         This is a great lean mass builder again, showing how frontloading is done. The downside is a lot of jabs, due to Equipoise being just 50mg per 1ml. The usual precautions apply and use HCG and Clomid post cycle at 7 days.

9. Wrongun's Mind Blower:

        This 'Mind-Blowing Stack' posted by Wrongun. It is a heavy androgenic cycle, and only for use by the experienced gear-user.

Testoviron depot - 1,000mg per week, weeks 1-10
Equipoise - 800mg per week, weeks 1-10
Dianabol - 50-75mg per day, weeks 1-5/6 
Testosterone suspension - 100mg per day, weeks 1-4/5
Finajet/Trenbolone - 150mg per day, last 4-6 weeks
Winstrol at the last - 100mg per day, last 4-6 weeks

         This is not for the faint-hearted, and certainly for advanced bodybuilders only. Equipoise is used rather than Deca so as not to overdo progesterone aromatization. This involves a lot of injections, so try to get Tokkyo Equipoise, as this is 200mg per 1ml, as opposed to Ganabol or Bolderbol H, which is 50mg per 1ml.

        Side effects will be high on this so take precautions. I would recommend Nolvadex use throughout at 10mg per day, or Arimidex 1mg every other day. Clomid and HCG post cycle are a must - commence the HCG in the last week of the cycle, but Clomid 14 days afterward.

Click Below to Check Price Of These Steroids

Dianabol | Testoviron Depot | Equipoise | Winstrol |

Testosterone Suspension| Trenbolone Acetate | Nolvadex | Arimidex| Clomid| HCG

10. Another Fave! Anadrol + Test Prop+Deca+IGF

Nice and simple, but very effective:

Anadrol 50 / Anapolon 50 - 100mg per day, 6 days per week
Deca Durabolin - 400mg per week
Testosterone Propionate 200mg every other day
IGF 1 Lr3 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 LongR3) 60mcg daily for full 8 weeks

       Note: Fast Acting Deca would work best in this cycle over the longer ester listed above in Deca Durabolin. Nandrolone Phenyl Propionate (NPP) at same dosage 400mg per week.

            The usual precautions are a must here, with Clomid commencing 7 days post cycle. So if you guys have any questions or want to run your first or heavy steroid cycle in 2019, don’t hesitate to ask questions below, in the comments. No go there and put some mother-fucking GAAAAINS!!!?

Mushroom Chitosan for Skin Care: A Plant-Based Option for Skincare

Published

1 day ago

on

December 23, 2024

By

Mushroom chitosan is a prominent ingredient in the skincare industry, celebrated for its compatibility with skin, moisturizing properties, and its role in wound healing and skin regeneration. Extracted from the cell walls of specific mushrooms, this eco-friendly, plant-based alternative to traditional chitosan (which is typically derived from shellfish) has recently gained considerable attention. It is swiftly becoming a favored ingredient in products designed to enhance skin texture, reduce inflammation, and improve moisture retention. This article delves into the science behind mushroom chitosan, its skin benefits, and how it compares to other popular ingredients.

Chitosan Overview

Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide traditionally obtained from the exoskeletons of shellfish like shrimp and crabs. However, mushroom chitosan, derived from fungi such as Aspergillus niger and Agaricus bisporus, offers a plant-based, vegan-friendly alternative. It provides similar benefits without the allergens or ethical concerns associated with animal-derived ingredients.

What It Does

Mushroom chitosan exhibits excellent biocompatibility, meaning it works well with human skin without causing irritation or allergic reactions. It is also biodegradable and sustainable, making it a particularly appealing option for eco-conscious consumers.

Mushroom chitosan forms a protective film on the skin’s surface, which helps retain moisture and shields the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and harmful bacteria. This barrier function also enhances the skin’s ability to retain water, making it especially beneficial for individuals with dry or sensitive skin.

Chitosan Magic

Additionally, chitosan has antimicrobial properties that can help prevent and treat skin infections. It promotes wound healing by accelerating the regeneration of skin cells, making it useful for post-inflammatory conditions like acne scars or minor cuts. Here is a summary of the main benefits of using mushroom chitosan:

Enhanced Hydration

Mushroom chitosan’s film-forming ability helps lock in moisture, maintaining the skin’s hydration levels. This is especially beneficial for dry, dehydrated skin or for maintaining a healthy moisture barrier.

Anti-inflammatory

Chitosan has been shown to reduce inflammation, which can soothe irritated or red skin. This makes it effective for people dealing with sensitive skin conditions like eczema or rosacea.

Chitosan Wound Healing and Skin Repair

Studies have shown that chitosan accelerates the skin’s natural healing process, making it a valuable ingredient for wound care and the recovery of damaged skin. It supports the regeneration of healthy skin cells, which can help minimize scarring and promote overall skin health.

Chitosan Antimicrobial Properties

Its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi can help reduce breakouts and skin infections, providing a natural solution for acne-prone skin.

Anti-aging Benefits

Mushroom chitosan supports the skin’s elasticity and firmness by maintaining moisture levels and protecting it from oxidative stress, making it an effective anti-aging ingredient. By reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving texture, it contributes to a smoother, youthful complexion.

Let's Compare it With Traditional Skin Products

Hyaluronic Acid: Mushroom chitosan and hyaluronic acid are both excellent for retaining moisture in the skin. However, chitosan also offers antimicrobial and wound-healing benefits, making it a multifunctional ingredient.

Collagen: Both ingredients aim to improve skin texture and elasticity. While collagen helps firm and plump the skin, mushroom chitosan focuses on moisture retention, repair, and protective qualities, offering a more comprehensive approach to skincare.

Traditional Chitosan: Mushroom chitosan has an edge over traditional shellfish-derived chitosan as it is plant-based and hypoallergenic. People with shellfish allergies can use it safely, and it’s also suitable for vegans and those seeking sustainable skincare options.

Main Products Containing Mushroom Chitosan

Moisturizers and Serums: As a potent humectant, mushroom chitosan is increasingly used in moisturizing products to boost skin hydration, enhancing the skin’s natural barrier.

Acne Treatments: Thanks to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, mushroom chitosan is an excellent ingredient in acne-fighting formulas, reducing bacterial growth while calming inflamed skin.

Wound Healing Creams: Given its regenerative abilities, mushroom chitosan is often included in creams designed to speed up wound healing or reduce scarring, especially for acne-prone skin or post-skin procedures.

Anti-aging Products: Mushroom chitosan’s ability to retain moisture and support the skin’s elasticity makes it a key ingredient in anti-aging serums and creams, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Overall

Mushroom chitosan is an exciting, versatile ingredient in skincare that addresses multiple concerns, from hydration and inflammation to skin repair and protection. As a vegan-friendly, eco-conscious alternative to traditional chitosan, it offers a sustainable and effective solution for enhancing skin health. With its broad range of benefits and gentle nature, mushroom chitosan is poised to become a staple in modern skincare.

Glutathione – The Most Underrated Antioxidant

Published

December 10, 2024

By

Glutathione, often referred to as the "Master Antioxidant," plays a crucial role in neutralizing free radicals and maintaining cellular health, making it an excellent supplement for bodybuilders across all age groups. Its ability to support liver detoxification, reduce inflammation, and enhance immune function is particularly beneficial for those undergoing intense training or using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs).

Must Read: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Hormone

As mentioned, it is a potent antioxidant that the body produces naturally. It plays a key role in detoxification, immune function, and maintaining cellular health.

How Can It Help You?

Glutathione neutralizes harmful free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and shielding cells from damage. This is especially critical for individuals using anabolic steroids or other PEDs, as these substances can increase oxidative stress, burden the liver, and hinder recovery.

Key Benefits of Glutathione Include

  • Liver Detoxification: Aids the liver in processing toxins, particularly those introduced by PED use.
  • Reduced Inflammation: Helps mitigate systemic inflammation, enhancing recovery and lowering injury risk.
  • Enhanced Immunity: Bolsters the immune system, keeping you healthier during intense training cycles.

Additionally, it supports skin health, reduces signs of fatigue, and promotes a general sense of well-being, making it invaluable for athletes focused on both performance and longevity.

How Is It Used?

Glutathione can be taken orally (in liposomal or reduced forms) or via injections for better bioavailability. A typical dose is 500–1000 mg daily if taken orally, or the same amount once a week if injected.

Are There Side Effects?

The hormone is usually well-tolerated. Rare side effects may include mild gastrointestinal discomfort or skin rashes, but these are uncommon. Injected glutathione is considered safe when properly administered.

Alternatives to Glutathione

There are several alternatives to glutathione that can help support your body's antioxidant defenses and overall health:

Vitamin C: This powerful antioxidant helps neutralize free radicals and can also help regenerate glutathione in the body.

Vitamin E: Another potent antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC): A precursor to glutathione, NAC can help boost the levels in the body.

Selenium: This trace mineral works synergistically with glutathione to enhance its antioxidant effects.

Milk Thistle: Known for its liver-protective properties, milk thistle can help support glutathione production.

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA): This antioxidant helps regenerate other antioxidants, including glutathione, and can improve overall antioxidant capacity.

Curcumin: Found in turmeric, curcumin has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Green Tea Extract: Rich in catechins, green tea extract provides powerful antioxidant benefits.

These alternatives can help maintain your body's antioxidant defenses and support overall health.

Legality of Glutathione Across Different Countries and Territories

The legality of glutathione supplements varies across different countries and territories. Here's a general overview:

United States

Glutathione supplements are widely available and legal in the U.S. They are regulated by the FDA under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 19942. The FDA requires that supplements be labeled accurately and that they are safe for consumption.

Canada

In Canada, glutathione supplements are also legal and regulated by Health Canada. They must meet the Natural Health Products Regulations, ensuring safety, efficacy, and quality.

European Union

Glutathione supplements are legal in the EU and are regulated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). They must comply with the EU's Novel Food Regulation if they are marketed as a new food product.

Australia

In Australia, glutathione supplements are legal and regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). They must be listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) to be legally sold.

Japan

Its supplements are legal in Japan and are regulated by the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW). They must be approved as dietary supplements.

India

In India, glutathione supplements are legal and regulated by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). They must comply with the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011.

Other Countries

The legality of glutathione supplements can vary in other countries, and it's essential to check local regulations before purchasing or using them. Some countries may have stricter regulations or require specific approvals for dietary supplements.

It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or regulatory authority in your specific country to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations on the use of Glutathione.

Overall

By mitigating oxidative stress, glutathione helps in faster recovery, reducing injury risks, and promoting overall well-being. Additionally, its role in boosting skin health and combating fatigue adds to its appeal, contributing to both performance and longevity. However, it is essential for users to consult with healthcare professionals before starting any supplement regimen to ensure safety and efficacy, as individual needs and responses can vary. Glutathione's multifaceted benefits make it a valuable tool in the arsenal of bodybuilders aiming to optimize their health and performance.
