The following cycle is not for a beginner and should only be attempted by those with a fair amount of experience under their belt.
An advanced cycle and stack will generally include numerous compounds and it is here we will see the highest doses. Advanced cycles are not for beginners as they have not yet learned how they respond to certain hormones. To be ready for an advanced cycle you will have numerous cycles under your belt, you will have supplemented with several anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing drugs and have a good understanding as to how each affects your body. Further, you will only attempt an advanced cycle if you truly desire strong effects that will also carry the greatest level of risk. Absolutely, advanced cycles can be completed very safely but the probability of adverse effects does increase. For the healthy adult male, if he supplements responsibly, understands how certain hormones affect him he can remain safe.
We must also state and cannot over emphasize enough; if you have numerous or even countless cycles under your belt yet are losing half or even more than half your gains from each one you are not ready for an advance cycle. The reason is simple; you’re obviously doing something wrong. Absolutely, when a cycle has ended and some time has passed some of the progress will be lost. Without the high influx of hormones in your system you will not be able to maintain what you have achieved at a 100% level. Even so, you should be able to maintain a great deal of it, especially when referring to bulking. Cutting can be a little different as once a diet is over, anabolic steroid use or not you will not hold peaked conditioning but this doesn’t mean you have to turn into a fat pig. The point; you should be able to hold onto progress to a large degree and if you cant you need to revisit more moderate cycles and most importantly revisit your nutritional and training plans.
The following cycle and stack will be our optimal advanced cutting cycle that will yield the strongest effect. It is a 16 week plan perfect for a competitive bodybuilder and one that may be used by a physique minded individual who has no competition in mind but enjoys such a lifestyle; that is the majority of performance enhancers. Performance athletes looking for a cycle will normally never need to go beyond intermediate level cycles

Notes on Advanced Cycle I
- The switch from Testosterone-Enanthate to Testosterone-Propionate is not without reason. The last 8 weeks of the cycle, when we will be our leanest, as the Propionate version will yield less water it is optimal here. If you cannot use Testosterone-Propionate, as quite a few cannot due to negative reactions, you can stick with Testosterone-Enanthate or Testosterone-Cypionate the entire time. Moreover, while testosterone is simply testosterone, using one form and switching to another can provide benefit simply by the way the body responds. It may not be much but when cutting well take all we can get.
- One thing many will notice is the injection frequency of large ester steroids Testosterone-Enanthate and Equipoise. It is true, neither has to be injected more than once or twice per week but this doesnt mean there is no advantage in more frequent injections. The frequent schedule will keep your total levels peaked throughout the entire diet at their highest level throughout. Again, this provides an advantage and when dieting we want every last advantage we can get.
- The last 2 weeks the Trenbolone, Winstrol and Arimidex doses are doubled simply to provide a dryer and more enhanced look at the conclusion of the diet. These are not doses one would want to hold to for the entire duration of the cycle.
- HGH is dropped the last week due to water retention it can cause many to hold.
- Many may find adding Clenbuterol and Cytomel into the equation to be very beneficial. Where you add it in will depend on your needs but both can be used the entire cycle if needed.
- This cycle will provide a lean and cut look that is hard, dry and vascular like no other; of course you will have to diet hard to truly reap the ultimate reward. If this cycle does not achieve the desired end something else is wrong. It may be your diet and it could be the quality of the hormones you have in hand but if all things are as they should be this is the ultimate cutting cycle to use.
Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)
Week | hCG | Nolvadex | Clenbuterol | Cytomel |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1,000iu/ed | 40mcg/ed | 25mcg/ed | |
2 | 1,000iu/ed (1st 3 Days) | 40mg/ed | 40mcg/ed | 25mcg/ed |
3 | 40mg/ed | |||
4 | 40mg/ed | |||
5 | 20mg/ed | |||
6 | 20mg/ed |
Notes on PCT
- PCT should start approximately 3 days after your anabolic steroid cycle ends. If it ended with Testosterone-Enanthate or Testosterone-Cypionate instead of the Propionate version you will wait 10 days before you start hCG therapy.
- hCG is used the first 10 days for 10 days straight. This will be all of week 1 and into the 3rd day of week 2.
- Nolvadex begins the day after your last injection of hCG.
- Clenbuterol and Cytomel are only taken during the PCT period if they were added in during the actual anabolic steroid cycle.
- An optional week of Nolvadex therapy may be added if needed.
- Clomid may be used in the place of Nolvadex; both will get the job done. If you supplement with Clomid the dosing plan will be as follows:
PCT Option 2
Week | hCG | Clomid |
---|---|---|
1 | 1,000iu/ed | |
2 | 1,000iu/ed (1st 3 Days) | 150mg/ed |
3 | 150mg/ed | |
4 | 150mg/ed | |
5 | 100mg/ed | |
6 | 50mg/ed |
