The following cycle and stack is not intended for beginners. If this is your first venture into anabolic steroid use the cycle to follow is not for you. Failure to abide by this warning may result in a very unpleasant outcome. Supplement properly and exercise patience.

What is an intermediate? What is an intermediate cycle? Defining a beginner is much easier and understanding what a beginner is will be the only way we can understand intermediate. A beginner, in this case a beginner anabolic steroid user is someone who has never supplemented with anabolic steroid before but that’s not all. A beginner can also be someone who has supplemented before but is still in the early stages of use. Look at it like a rookie football player, he plays his first game, he’s a beginner; he plays another game or two and while he’s now a little more experienced he’s still a beginner.

Where does this leave us as it pertains to the anabolic steroid world? When does someone move from the beginner stage and into the intermediate realm? Unfortunately there’s no cut and dry one size fits all answer as we are all individuals with individual natures and goals. Further, and we cannot over emphasize enough, some will always stay at the beginner level; you do not have to move to intermediate level cycles. For many, beginner or novice level cycles will be all the anabolic steroids they ever need; for many a simple 400mg-500mg a week of testosterone will be all they ever want and that’s fine. However, some will want more; this is inevitable as it is simply part of human nature. With that in mind, while there is not a perfect point, we have provided you some guidelines that should be fulfilled before you try an intermediate level cycle. Once you have fulfilled these guidelines you are free to try an intermediate cycle but you do not have to. Many will stay with beginner level cycles numerous times before advancing and many will stay with beginner cycles through their entire anabolic steroid use and continue to get the results they desire. The guidelines are as follows:

• Have completed at least one cycle successfully; preferably two cycles.
• Have supplemented with at least three different anabolic steroids and in a successful manner with all three.
• Have stacked at least two anabolic steroids together in a successful manner.
• Desire more than they are obtaining from successful Novice cycles

These are the guidelines and if fulfilled you may indeed be ready for the following intermediate level cycle. The following cycle and stack will be best served when dieting but it must be noted your diet itself will largely dictate how you lean you get. For those who are looking to grow or bulk, with enough calories the following cycle will help them grow and in some cases fairly well but for a better intermediate bulking cycle and stack please see the Intermediate Cycle I link.

Intermediate Cycle II (Cutting)

Notes on Intermediate Cycle

• Arimidex is added due to the amount of estrogen that may buildup due to the use of Testosterone, as well as protect against the progestin nature of Trenbolone. Most will be fine with 0.5mg/eod, some may have to go as high as 1mg/eod but this should be enough for any man. We can say that some may not need any at all but most will be best served with at least 0.5mg/eod as it will also help provide a dryer and harder look.
• Testosterone-Propionate is optimal for this cycle, if not available or if you have issues with this form as some do, a dosing of Testosterone-Cypionate at 400mg per week is acceptable.
• Trenbolone-Acetate: Most will be fine with the 75mg dose. If you show adverse effects try dropping the dose down to 50mg/eod. If this does not work then Trenbolone is not for you. If you do tolerate the hormone well, as most will, you will find this is the most powerful hormone in the stack. It will provide a harder and more defined look unlike any other. Further, it will greatly help maintain strength when calories are restricted and further greatly aid in fat-loss in a very direct manner.
• While Winstrol is optimal, Anavar can be used instead. A dosing of 50mg-80mg per day can be used but it will not be as optimal and as effective as Winstrol.
• Through this cycle you can get as lean and as hard as you want. How far you take it will depend on how hard you diet. For most men this will be the only cutting cycle they really ever need.
• As you will be injecting on an every other day basis simply inject the Testosterone-Propionate and Trenbolone-Acetate at the same time in the same syringe.
