If using orals only: You have to use them for 8-12 weeks
in order to solidify gains. If you use them for <6 weeks
you won't get as many gains as 8-12 weeks and you'll lose
more muscle than if you ran 8-12 weeks.
Why? Orals stimuate GH and IGF-1 production in the liver.
However, he stimulation INCREASES as tiime goes by.
So, by the end of the 8-12th week your GH and IGF-1
levels are MUCH higher than at 6 weeks, therefore
it is FAR easier to keep your gains.
Here are 3 easy newbie cycles:
The best: Winstrol at 40-50mg/.day for 12 weeks.
The second best: Anavar at 40-60mg/day for 12 weeks
The third best: Dball at 50mg/day for 12 weeks.
This of course is in terms of price/effectivity and safety.
Anavar is probably out as its too expensive for you.
So, that leaves winstrol or Dball.
So, the choice now becomes wether you want to
look nice and tight while still gaining muscle
or strong and bloated.
Another bonus is that anti-e's DO NOT have to be run with
the winstrol, only the dball.
Liver-protectantsV. Important)
1. ALA at 600mg/day
2. 4-5.0L of water/day
Thats it. No other liver supps are necessary.
You do not have to buy 3-4 other because they don't do anything
ALA doesn't do.
So, to re-run everything:
Choice 1: Winstrol at 40-50mg/day+600mg ALA/day+
Clomid/Arimidex at the end.
Choice 2: Dball at 50mg/day+600mg ALA/day
+ Clomid + Arimidex throughout the cycle and
post-cycle.
Post-cycle= 4 weeks of 100mg Clomid/day+
0.25-0.5mg Arimidex/day
Choice 1 is cheaper AND better than 2 IMO. But, its your
choice.
Remember too, that the dball bloat will DEFINATELY
give others the impression you're on something.
