Before You Start Your First Steroid Cycle, Read This

Getting into the world of steroids can be daunting, especially if you don’t know anyone who does it as well. With so many options and complex names to choose from, doing research on your own can be tough, and often leading to conflicting or unclear suggestions.

Today, the team at BioMed want to provide newcomers and novices a dedicated guide on starting your anabolic steroid cycle, and to go through recommended options and dosages.

Starting Out

One of the most common places people look at first are the forums. There, you’ll likely find some conflicting opinions on how to get into your first steroid cycle. Just like with most things to do with health, the answer depends on your unique body type. With that said, there are two general all-encompassing approaches that most people start out with. You can narrow down your specific schedule from there.

Method One: All or Nothing

The first and often popular option is to go all out during the first cycle. You know the gains are going to be huge and want to take full advantage of it. This means taking relatively high doses mostly of testosterone and starting at, potentially increasing to 1000mg a week. Other compounds such as orals are also involved. However, this approach may lead to big risks for new users, specifically in the form of side effects.

Your body has never experienced steroids before so going all out yields a high chance of things not going well. Unless you have total confidence in being able to control side effects and know what exactly to expect, this kind of hardcore first cycle is not one we (or anyone) would suggest.

Method Two: Slow and Steady

The second option and one that’s more moderate is to use test in this first cycles at medium doses of about 500mg a week. Do not add any additional compounds throughout the week. Instead, evaluate exactly what a single isolated type of testosterone does for you, and monitor with the slow introduction of additional compounds.

While this is the more conservative path to take for a newbie, it’s one that comes with much lower risks. And since it’s only a first cycle it can be thought of as an introduction; you’re going to have a ton more chances in future to experiment with other compounds in more complex cycles.

Comparing the Two

Which one will produce better gains? It’s easy to think the higher dosed cycle will but if you’re battling serious side effects then your gains will suffer anyway. Any new user will still see substantial gains in a cycle of test only at moderate doses.
