How do you select substances for a cycle?

.. research and personel experiences.

Exactly what I'm wondering about.

Did you read the descriptions of each anabolic and decided that a stack of A and E sounded perfect for the next cycle or is there something more?

(because hot dang that doesn't sound reassuring)

Essentially, it comes down to your diet, most people will say to use aas the first time on a bulking diet...I understand your question tho so I'll answer...yes, people read and learn about eachsubstance, weigh their goals against potential sides, and select what would have a synergistic effect in a stack....very basic example: bulk; couple test only cycles, then maybe test dbol and deca, dbol is a classic bulking oral, good slow strength and keepable gains from deca plus it good on joints......cutting; say test and var, or tren...if you'd run the test only you'll know how it feels, then you'll know when your back pumps (dbol) weiner is a bit floppy (deca) or you want to rape pillage and plunder (tren) you'll know what's causing what hopefully....and obv these are examples, and simply one potential side each, so research each drug thoroughly!!

This is the sort of reply I was looking for, thanks.

However I was under the impression that bulking and cutting were somewhat blurred together by anabolics: while people who lift normally have to basically gain a bunch of mass and extra fat while bulking, people on anabolics can gain while remaining at a lower body fat percentage.
When you said that the diet is the guiding beacon of a cycle so to speak, it's a bit a bit confusing. Isn't the fact that you're doing anabolics change how you approach your diet in the first place?

Nope. You need to eat right whether on cycle or off. There are steroids used for bulking and ones used for cutting obviously. Diet stays relatively the same. Just more carbs are used in the bulk phase or offseason as we call it
