What is steroid cycling - cycle
theories:
Empirical and anecdotal evidence clearlv show that
steroids are most effective and safest when they are
used in a logical sequence referred to as a cycle.
The term cycle is commonly used by athletes to refer
to the time they are on steroids. An average on
cycle is usually from 6 to 12 weeks. An average off
cycle, which is the time off of the steroids, should
be at least 10 to 12 weeks. This pattern is needed
to minimize side effects associated with long term
steroid use. It is felt that doing just 2 cycles a
year is best to keep side effects to a minimum. In
the off cycle period, the user is allowing the body
to restore its natural hormonal patterns and to
recover from any stress that occurred during the
cycle. Cycling steroids is also important to insure
their effectiveness. If a person stays on a steroid
for too long, receptor sites will fail to recognize
it. This attenuation is not experienced if cycles
are done properly. Some evidence supports keeping
cycles fairly short; about two months in length or
less. Recent evidence has shown that receptor down
regulation, which is a decrease in the amount of a
steroid being picked up by a cell, occurs in as
little as 3 weeks. Also shown was that the positive
nitrogen balance, a primary anabolic indicator of a
steroid, will not exist if the dosage is not
continually increased. This is also due to the
fairly rapid and progressive loss of sensitivity of
receptors to exogenous steroids. With cycles of
excessive duration, the receptor site gets so over
stimulated by exogenous steroids, that it can even
fail to respond to endogenous androgens. A person in
this state could use huge dosages and still not get
any results. This explains a great deal of logic
behind some of the cycle patterns commonly used
today. The wiser athletes put every bit of knowledge
they have into designing their cycles.
Examples of steroid cycles:
One of the
cycles gaining in popularity is the 3 week blitz. In
this cycle, the athlete uses each drug for three
weeks at a time. The idea here is the steroid will
not suppress the androgen receptors in just 3 weeks,
resulting in only slight impairment of receptor
functions versus the degree of attenuation that is
experienced if one drug were taken for a long period
of time. Another cycle pattern which goes on the
same premise as the 3 week blitz, is the double
mini-cycle. In this cycle, 2-3 steroids are taken in
a certain combination for 6 weeks, then a 2 week off
cycle is taken before coming back to another 6 week
cycle of the same, or more favorably, 2 different
steroids. After this second cycle, an off period of
at least 2 months is taken.
A familiar cycle pattern is the diamond. This one
starts with a minimal dosage of one or more
steroids, increases for several weeks and then
decreases for several weeks in an attempt to bring
the body's own testosterone production back up
before going off the steroids.
The inverted pyramid is another cycle pattern. This
cycle starts with a maximum dosage and works down
from there. This cycle is very popular in situations
where the athlete is going to be drug tested.
Steroid cycles take on an infinite number of
patterns and involve the use
of just one or up to a dozen different drugs. These
cycles are just examples of how other people have
used these drugs.
