Once you’ve had some experience with running Test only steroid cycles, you can start to look at additional compounds to run. Depending on what you want to achieve, there are a few different ways of setting up a slightly more complex protocol. For lifters who are willing to put on some size & strength with the end goal of hitting a PR total at a meet, here are a few different sample steroid cycles you could run.
It should be noted that these quantities are all most powerlifters will ever need to reach a decent level of strength. If you’re not making progress running steroid cycles similar to these, you’re not doing something right. Evaluate your training program, diet, and sleep schedule before taking more anabolics beyond this point.
Weeks 1-12
Test E: 750 mg/week
Weeks 8-12
Dianabol: 30-50 mg daily
Weeks 1-12
Test E: 750 mg/week
Deca: 600 mg / week
Weeks 8-12
Dianabol: 30-50 mg daily
If you are wanting to run a cycle that is “dry” with less water retention and side effects, consider these:
Weeks 1-12
Test E: 750 mg/week
EQ: 600 mg / week
Weeks 1-16
Test E: 750 mg/week
EQ: 600 mg / week
Weeks 1-12
Test E: 750 mg/week
Mast E: 600 mg/week
Weeks 1-12
Test E: 750 mg/week
Weeks 8-12
Anavar: 40-60 mg daily
If you’ve made it to this point, your Wilks score is over 450 and you are willing to trade off being conservative on your AAS dosages for a big milestone achievement, such as your first huge total at a big-time meet. We won’t be pinning full barrels every injection, but we can take a look at running some more aggressive protocols.

One rule of thumb I’ve picked up is that the most amount of anabolics you will ever usually need will add up to around 2 grams total, weekly. Beyond that, and you are going to see a diminishing rate of return when it comes to strength gain versus side effects. Here are some sample protocols you can consider running:
Weeks 1-16
Test E: 750 - 1000 mg / week
Weeks 10-16
Dianabol: 30-50 mg daily
Test / Dbol (Dosed Higher):
Weeks 1-16
Test E: 1.25 - 1.5 grams / week
Weeks 10-16
Dianabol: 30-50 mg daily, 100 mg daily during difficult training days of peaking
Weeks 1-16
Test E: 750 - 1000 mg / week
Weeks 6-16
Tren Ace: 350-525 mg / week
Weeks 10-16
Dianabol: 30-50 mg daily
Weeks 1-16
Test E: 750 - 1000 mg / week
Weeks 1-16
EQ: 600 mg / week
Weeks 1-16
Deca: 600 mg / week
Weeks 10-14
Dianabol: 30-50 mg daily
Anadrol: 50 mg daily
Weeks 12-14
Dianabol: 30-50 mg daily
Anadrol: 100 mg daily
Weeks 1-16
Test E: 750 - 1000 mg / week
Mast Prop: 600 mg/ week
Weeks 6-16
Tren Ace: 350-525 mg / week
Weeks 10-16
Dianabol: 30-50 mg daily
This is the part we’ve all been waiting for. You may have even skipped reading the whole guide and went straight to this section. That’s okay – a lot of us are in the dark when it comes to what the biggest names in powerlifting are taking in the way of anabolics.
The honest reality is this: steroid use ranges from all over the board at the highest level of powerlifting. There are some guys who run 3 grams of test & 1 gram of Tren a week, in addition to 400 mg of Anadrol daily.
There are some athletes you know who are running test-only steroid cycles and use 750 mg per week. Some high profile powerlifters who say they are lifetime drug-free may actually be completely drug-free. Drugs alone won’t make you a world-class lifter!
Now that we’ve somewhat cleared up the disparity of drug use among the top lifters, I will share with you some of the craziest steroid cycles examples that have been used. I won’t disclose who is taking what, but here are real cycle protocols that have been used.
NOTE: I do not condone or encourage anyone to run cycles of this nature! Dosages this high will blatantly put your health on the line and you are at serious risk for permanent organ damage and even organ failure.
2 grams of Testosterone Enanthate, 1.2 grams of Deca, and 1 gram of Tren Acetate per week. (The example at the introduction of this guide was actually real.)
3 grams of Testosterone Enanthate, 1 gram of Tren Ace - weekly, along with 400 mg of Anadrol daily.
2 grams of Testosterone Enanthate, 1 gram of Tren Ace. Ran for 6 months continuously, with orals used towards the end.
Again, do not duplicate these cycles. This does not even include the use of Halotestin, Test Suspension, or Tren Suspension (which I chose not to cover). Be smart, be responsible, and be safe!
