Just thinking of ideas about how to make small gains that are maintainable with minimal shutdown. Pulsing sounds ok, but I don't like the high doses, although I may try it in the future. So I was thinking of alternatives. I remember a while back there was a program called ABCDE (Anabolic Burst Cycling of Diet and Exercise) from muscle media. Basically, it was 2 weeks of Major bulking and 2 weeks of major cutting. I was thinking of using anavar for 2 weeks at a moderate dose, say 20-30mg for the cutting period, followed by 2 weeks of dianabol, say 30-40mg, for the bulking period. Then hyperdrol for 4 weeks followed by going natty for 4 weeks. While it may not be massive gains like people want with steroids it should give some decent recomp/lean bulk. Say you lose 2-3lbs of fat in the first 2 weeks, then gain 3-4lbs of muscle in the last 2 weeks. Then gain 1-2lbs of muscle in the following 8 weeks.
Give the user starting stats of 175lbs@10% bf. That is 17.5lbs of fat and 157.5lbs of LBM. Say you lose 3lbs of fat during the anavar, gain 3lbs of LBM during the dianabol (not counting water) and then gains 2lbs of muscle during the hyperdrol and natty phase you would come out at 177lbs@8%bf. While not a huge difference it would be noticeable. Next time say you feel you are lean enough and just want to bulk. Go for 2 weeks at 30/40mg of dbol. Say you gain 3lbs of LBM and 1lb of fat then do the hyperdrol/natty part again and gain 2 more lbs of LBM. This would put you at [email protected]%bf. This would take about 6 months. At a year, you could be up almost 15lbs with the same starting LBM:Fat ratio, pretty much no pct blues and up and down weight rollar coaster. Just slow steady gains. Only small amounts of time on would be less detrimental to the body as well as the HPTA.
While it may not be as dramatic of weight gain, it would be better for the body and much more maintainable. Also, for people like me long cycles sometimes seem to drag on forever which can make it hard to keep intensity in the gym up. The reason I put var first is because of the minimal HPTA suppression from it. Also, dbol is very fast acting and not really that suppressive. Anabolics 2k7 talks of a study with physiological doses for 8 weeks resulting in something around 70% suppression of LH. Two weeks might spur 30-40% suppression, but due to dbols lower affinity for the AR, the user could start the hyperdrol a few days before ending the dbol which would lower circulating estrogen helping the HPTA rebound faster.
Any criticism is welcome as I am still refining this idea.
