Testosterone increases muscle mass and strength and regulates other physiological processes, but we do not know whether testosterone effects are dose dependent and whether dose requirements for maintaining various androgen-dependent processes are similar. To determine the effects of graded doses of testosterone on body composition, muscle size, strength, power, sexual and cognitive functions, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), plasma lipids, hemoglobin, and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) levels, 61 eugonadal men, 18-35 yr, were randomized to one of five groups to receive monthly injections of a long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, to suppress endogenous testosterone secretion, and weekly injections of 25, 50, 125, 300, or 600 mg of testosterone enanthate for 20 wk. Energy and protein intakes were standardized. The administration of the GnRH agonist plus graded doses of testosterone resulted in mean nadir testosterone concentrations of 253, 306, 542, 1,345, and 2,370 ng/dl at the 25-, 50-, 125-, 300-, and 600-mg doses, respectively. Fat-free mass increased dose dependently in men receiving 125, 300, or 600 mg of testosterone weekly (change +3.4, 5.2, and 7.9 kg, respectively). The changes in fat-free mass were highly dependent on testosterone dose (P = 0.0001) and correlated with log testosterone concentrations (r = 0.73, P = 0.0001). Changes in leg press strength, leg power, thigh and quadriceps muscle volumes, hemoglobin, and IGF-I were positively correlated with testosterone concentrations, whereas changes in fat mass and plasma

Solid Cycles for Different Goals! REVISED
This thread is for newbies and vets looking for cycles for specific goals. I have revised this as the Iron Game is constantly evolvoing and we need to keep up.
Now before I get started, I have to emphisize that your diet, training, and rest is the key to achieving your goals. All cycles can be turned into a bulking cycle or cutting depending on your food consumption.
In following example we describe some programs of achieving the effective results. It is shouldn’t take as a recommendations. In case of side effects the GoldenMuscles staff do not take responsibilities.
*Clomid therapy: 36 pills. 300mg day 1, 100mg next 10, 50mg final 10.
**HCG therapy is instituted for the prevention of testicular atrophy. The old practice was effective, but I feel prevention is more productive than trying to revert the problem late in the cycle.
Solid first cycle
Week 1 to 10: 400mg of EQ
OR
Week 1 to 10: 4-500mg of test
Week 13 to 15: Clomid Therapy*

Beginner Steroid Cycles
Steroid cycles are not easy to put together, nor are they easy to come off of. If you screw things up, you can mess up your endocrine system or worse, shut down you natural testosterone production for life. Is this something you would want to do? If not, first look at these questions:
Are you a male over eighteen years old?
Have you been training for at least two or three years seriously?
Can you devote at least half a year to working out consistently?
Can you be sure you can get real steroids?
If you answer NO to any of the above questions, don’t waste your time with anabolic steroids. You wont get the results you want.
Are you a female?
Are you or have you ever suffered kidney or liver problems?
If you answer YES to any of the above questions, stay away from steroids. As far away as you can. Diet and Training is your golden sword here.
Every steroid cycle has a start, finish and an end – post cycle therapy (PCT).
Steroid Cycle from Arnold Schwarzenegger
A Detailed Look at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Steroid Cycle
Arnold Schwarzenegger is among the most influential figures in body building history. Many were inspired by the way he looks. The big arms, well sculpted chest and those unmatched biceps inspired many to become like him. Arnold undoubtedly admitted use of steroids during the 1960s. He became the topic of most newspapers and tabloids as to what specific steroids he used to help him build such great body.
Arnold Schwarzenegger steroid cycle is a 26-week cycle combination of Primobolan injectable, Dianabol oral and Deca Durabolin injectable. Primobolan is injected for the first 20 weeks. Deca Durabolin is injected only on the 21st to 26th week. Dianabol is taken orally at a tapering dose from week 1 to week 26.
Beginner’s Cycle Theory
Warning: This is NOT intended to be strictly followed as a bible, this is just my personal theory on how to cycle.
This thread is 110% based on my only personal experience or at the very least on someone very close to me experience.
First of all…
Am I ready for steroids?
NO, you are not ready for steroids at all. Just because you need to ask to someone and this implies that you haven’t done enough research yet.
After years of research on steroids you may answer your rhetoric question your own without thinking so much.
Unfortunately people have no idea on the load of info they might find on the net about this stuff.
Though they’re fine only if they take time to search for the reliable sources of info written by the RIGHT persons but at times they don’t mind and otherwise listen to some gym guy who cares nothing about their health.
Ok, I’ve done my research, but how can I say that my body’s ready for AAS?
Well, you must be AT THE VERY LEAST 21 years old, because your natural envelopment isn’t complete before that age.
You need to have done all the possible to let your body grow naturally till it reached a so called “plateau” (the limit of natural muscle growth).
To reach this level you should train HARD and CONSTANTLY for at least 2 years, along with proper dieting, the most important thing EVER.
Once you’ll get into a mark which is impossible to go through, then you are effectively ready for steroids.

Steroid cycle and stacking
Steroids, for years, have run rampant through the sports world. UT Southwestern Medical Center scientists have revealed that a combination of corticosteroids with traditional antimicrobial therapy may help people with pneumonia recover more quickly than with antibiotics alone. That is meaning that using steroid sometimes is useful for our health. People start using steroids to create a more direct, fast acting way to stimulate strength, enhances their glycogen levels after a workout and increases the way of their body synthesizes protein, for achieving tone, leaner looking muscles without having to sacrifice size to aerobic works out. To obtain the more efficient and maximized result and in shorter time they started to combine steroids.
