What would be your guys go to steroid cycle for adding a lot of strength for powerlifting? Thanks guys
About 3 years ago I did a powerlifting meet after doing that I decided I wanted to do a bodybuilding show so I took time off to build up my physique now I have the itch to do another powerlifting comp. While bodybuilding I used enhancement so have experience with numerous compounds everything you listed I have used besides sdrol. As far as weight class I am gonna take the time needed to build up strength again at my bodybuilding show I was 172lbs on stage and currently offseason weight is 210lbs so when the time comes I am going to do a prep and cut down to the 182lb weight class. ThanksPersonally I’ve found
- androl
- tren
- sdrol
are the three I’ve had most strength gains from. Not used some of the compounds listed in the first reply so not saying adrol is better or worse that those, just I’ve found it particularly effective.
I like test suspension as well before a big lift, halotest also brings some benefits on the day
all that said though I think there’s probably some more information we need here, such as whether you just train as a powerlifter recreationally and want to be gym strong without losing sight of the aesthetics completely or are you wanting to compete?
do you already compete? What weight class, can you afford to gain much weight in the pursuit of strength?
if you don’t hold much water on adrol that’s probably the route I would go taking weight into account,About 3 years ago I did a powerlifting meet after doing that I decided I wanted to do a bodybuilding show so I took time off to build up my physique now I have the itch to do another powerlifting comp.

Really good point. I seem to recall Eddie hall hiring a psychologist to break the deadlift record rather than doing anything different in his training per se.3 main routes to drug-induced strength:
-size/leverage
-neurological upregulation/enhanced motor recruitment
-acute psychoactive changes/day-of type aggression & ferocity
Most androgens can drive all of these to varying degrees (test gets used so often in strength sport because it’s cheap, available and does push all of these pretty evenly), but every steroid has its differences.
First category, anything that makes you bigger will help maximal strength. Ass moves mass. Powerlifting is a weightclass sport so you need to decide where you will lift and if you want to be as strong as you can be or as strong/lb as you can be (ie more competitive but weaker overall). This is how things like test, slin, deca, anadrol, dbol, fat gain, bloating agents like sodium really shine.
Second is most dry orals, tren, mast. You will gain some weight on these typically but not as much excessive water weight. Mtren, M1T, SD honestly fall pretty heavily into both categories, which is why they are so potent.
Lastly, don’t rule out acute performance. If you are psyched up on different suspensions, cheque drops, halotestin during your peaking sessions the final month and the meet you will have greater potential because you remove some of your inhibitions. If you walk a max squat out and you doubt it, you’ve probably missed it before you even descend. You have to truly believe you will lift it if you are going to be able to.
You didn’t ask about this, but mental training like visualization leading to the contest can be really powerful. I feel it was a missing component to my training that really has benefitted me since implementation.
I think nootropics were also a big component of the recent progress I made. Nobody wants to talk about things like acute supplementation of noopept, creatine Monohydrate, choline & other learning agents for skill acquisition days, but I put 25kg on my sleeved squat & 8kg on my bench while only gaining about 4kg bodyweight & using a similar range of total drugs in a matter of only 7 months. The brain is plastic, and you can teach it whatever you want to become.if you don’t hold much water on adrol that’s probably the route I would go taking weight into account,
mid you actually need to cut though
Really good point. I seem to recall Eddie hall hiring a psychologist to break the deadlift record rather than doing anything different in his training per se.
same principle that allows a mum who doesn’t lift to shift a car off their child etc. Our brain stops us using our full strength potential to keep us from getting injured I think is the logic
never miss in training is the number one rule my powerlifting coach has (this is the top level guy in the uk, he’s just done a comp and hit 671/495/671 raw at 226 bw so I trust what he says for sure)I think nootropics were also a big component of the recent progress I made.

Also, never miss on the big 3 in training. When you never miss, you tend to believe you can’t miss.
