If you’re considering running a steroid cycle, it’s critical to have a well-structured plan rooted in logic, safety, and consistency. A well-designed cycle isn’t just about stacking compounds—it’s about minimizing risk while maximizing results.

At Olympian Anabolic, we don’t push products—we promote informed performance. Let’s walk you through how to build a smart, effective cycle from start to finish.

🔹 1. Define Your Goal First

Every cycle should begin with a clear objective:
    •    Bulking: Build lean mass and size
    •    Cutting: Retain muscle while losing fat
    •    Recomposition: Gain muscle while slowly trimming fat
    •    Wellness/HRT: Improve vitality, mood, libido, and body composition

Your goal determines compound selection, dosage, and cycle length.

🔹 2. Start With a Testosterone Base

Testosterone is the foundation of all cycles. It supports hormonal balance and performance.


Beginner dose:
📌 Testosterone Enanthate or Cypionate at 300–500mg/week for 10–12 weeks
👉 Split into 2 injections per week (e.g., Monday/Thursday)


🔹 3. Choose One or Two Add-Ons (Optional)

Avoid stacking too many compounds on your first few cycles. Pick one depending on your goal:


For Bulking:
    •    Dianabol: 25–50mg/day (4–6 weeks max)
    •    Deca-Durabolin: 200–300mg/week

For Cutting:
    •    Anavar: 20–50mg/day
    •    Masteron: 300–400mg/week

For Advanced Use:
    •    Trenbolone Acetate (only after experience)
    •    Olympian 400 Blend
(275mg Test E / 75mg Test P / 50mg Trestolone)


🔹 4. Cycle Duration & Frequency

Cycle Length:
🔸 8–12 weeks for injectables
🔸 4–6 weeks for oral kickstarts


Injection Schedule:
✅ Split long esters (e.g., Test E) into two injections/week
✅ Short esters may require every other day


🔹 5. On-Cycle Support

To minimize side effects, consider:
    •    Arimidex or Aromasin: Estrogen control (start low: 0.25mg 2x/week)
    •    Liver support: Especially with orals (e.g., NAC, TUDCA)
    •    Blood pressure support: Hawthorn berry, CoQ10, taurine

🔹 6. Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT)

PCT is non-negotiable unless you’re cruising or on TRT. It helps restore natural testosterone production and avoid estrogen rebound or crash.


Typical PCT starts 2–3 weeks after your last injection:
    •    Clomid: 50/50/25/25 mg (4 weeks)
    •    Nolvadex: 40/40/20/20 mg (4 weeks)
    •    HCG: 500–1000 IU 2–3x/week before PCT if needed
    •    HGH: Optional for wellness, fat loss, and recovery support

🔹 7. Bloodwork Matters

✅ Pre-cycle – Get a baseline
✅ Mid-cycle – Check liver values, lipids, estrogen, hematocrit
✅ Post-cycle – Ensure recovery is on track

🔹 8. Sample Beginner Cycle: Bulking

Weeks 1–12:
• Testosterone Enanthate – 400mg/week
• Arimidex – 0.25mg every 3 days
• Optional: Dianabol (Weeks 1–4) – 30mg/day

Weeks 13–16 (PCT):
• Clomid/Nolvadex as outlined above

✅ Key Reminders:
    •    Don’t skip your PCT
    •    Avoid drinking alcohol during your cycle
    •    Eat and train with intention—gear won’t fix bad habits
    •    Track progress weekly (weight, mood, sides)

🔚 Final Thoughts
​
A steroid cycle is only as effective as its structure. The key is to respect the compounds, stay consistent, and prioritize your health above all. At Olympian Anabolic, our role is to guide and support—not just sell. Whether you’re new or seasoned, we’re here to elevate your results the right way.

Whether you’re looking to gain lean muscle mass, reduce body fat, or enhance physical performance, anabolic steroids can be a powerful tool--when used responsibly. At Olympian Anabolic, our goal is to provide accurate, practical, and trustworthy education to help you make informed decisions on your wellness journey.

Let’s break down the fundamentals every beginner should understand before starting a cycle.

1. What Are Anabolic Steroids?
Anabolic steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone—the primary male sex hormone responsible for muscle growth, bone density, libido, and overall physical performance. They mimic the anabolic (muscle-building) effects of testosterone while minimizing the androgenic (masculinizing) side effects.

2. Types of Steroids:
There are two primary formats:

    •  Injectable Steroids
(e.g., Testosterone Enanthate, Deca-Durabolin, Trenbolone)
– Longer-lasting, stable release, less liver strain.

    •    Oral Steroids  
(e.g., Dianabol, Anavar, Winstrol)
– Faster-acting but generally harsher on the liver. Shorter half-lives.

3. Popular Compounds for Beginners
If you’re new to enhancement, it’s critical to start with time-tested, milder compounds:
    •    Testosterone Enanthate or Cypionate – Foundation of most cycles
    •    Anavar – Lean, mild oral option with lower androgenic activity
    •    Dianabol – Strong gains, but more water retention
   •    Deca-Durabolin – Joint relief and bulking

We always advise starting with Testosterone-only to assess how your body responds before stacking additional compounds.

4. Why Cycle?
A steroid cycle is a structured period of use, followed by time off (or with PCT). Cycling prevents long-term suppression of natural testosterone and reduces side effects.

Typical beginner cycle length: ➡️ 8–12 weeks

5. Side Effects: Be Realistic
While results can be transformative, steroids are not without risk. Possible side effects include:
    •    Hormonal suppression
    •    Acne or oily skin
    •    Mood swings or aggression
    •    Gynecomastia (gyno)
    •    Hair thinning (if predisposed)
    •    Elevated liver enzymes (oral steroids)
    •    Cholesterol impact

Monitoring your health through routine bloodwork is non-negotiable.

6. The Importance of Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT)
After a cycle, your natural testosterone takes time to recover. PCT helps your body restart hormonal production and prevents estrogenic rebound.

Common PCT agents:
•    Clomid
•    Nolvadex
•    HCG 
•    HGH for wellness and repair

7. Best Practices for Beginners
• Start low, go slow: Test the waters before stacking.
• Keep your nutrition and training dialed in—gear is just a tool.
• Don’t skip your PCT.
• Source your products from a trusted, domestic supplier (like Olympian Anabolic).
• Consult with professionals if unsure--education is your best protection.

Steroids aren’t a shortcut—they’re an enhancement tool for disciplined individuals with long-term goals. If used correctly, they can unlock a level of physique and performance most only dream of. But misuse can cost you your health, progress, and credibility.
