Steroid Cycle Checklist

[Georgia]

A quick and easy checklist guide to make sure you have EVERYTHING you need for your cycle before you begin

NOTE: Always run Testosterone with every cycle. A good rule of thumb is 1:1 or 2:1 ratio with Testosterone being the higher ratio (EX: Test 500mg/Deca 250mg). The reason being is it keeps your mood swings to a minimum, keeps your sex drive high, and prevents test shutdown especially when running 19-nor compounds such as Nandrolone (Deca-Durabolin), Trenbolone, etc. Not taking Testosterone with your cycle can result in Testosterone levels being depleted and leading to mental fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and lethargy to name a few. ALWAYS USE TEST WITH EVERY CYCLE!

** - Optional

1. Oils
   
2. **Orals
   
3. Syringes (Insulin or "slin pins" are great for shoulders or any body part really but keep in mind they can take a while to load with oil...but worth it as it is generally painless to inject)
   
4. *Depending on what type of syringe you have you may need needles for drawing and for injecting or swapping out after drawing oil to make sure the needle is sharp (Stick with 20-25g for drawing as anything less can tear your stopper to pieces and 23-29g+ for injecting)
   
5. Alcohol swabs for cleaning/prepping injection site
   
6. **Cotton balls to apply to spot after pulling needle out of skin. To keep blood from coming out/aid in cleanup and use to massage area after injection
   
7. **HCG - maintains testicle size/function by stimulating them directly. Mimics Luteinizing Hormone (LH) which stimulates the Leydig cell production of testosterone
   
8. Ancillaries (Research these in the forums) - Clomid, Aromasin, Letro, Arimidex, Nolvadex, Cabergoline, etc.

Always get advice before starting. Learn from the experiences of other members. When running different compounds you may need different ancillaries (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERM) and Aromatise Inhibitors (AI)) to fight against the bodies response to the compounds you have selected to inject/take.

Nice write up.

As for filling a slin pin, it's fast and easy to backload these. I think SAD made a vid. I he can't find that I can make one.

Would be good to edit my post and put the video in there to have in multiple places. I missed that video. I would much rather backload those bad boys

[airagee23]

Someone cant figure out how to backload a slin pin???

[Georgia]

Just pop the back out as inject the compound into it. Pretty simple. I know a good friend of mine is on cycle right now had no idea he could back load it. lol.

Bloodwork is also a good idea....before, during, and after......obviously optional, but the smart and responsible include it.

I like the write up BUT it's my personal experience, along with MANY others, that a 1:1 or 2:1 test ratio isn't necessary. This goes for deca and tren. I've ran both at TRT doses with no issues. I ran NPP 3.5x's my test and was A OK. I did wind up bumping test up and lowering NPP but for the 8 weeks I ran it like this I was fine. Same with tren and I like low tren higher test. The 1:1 or 2:1 ratio isn't true for everyone and there's more and more people running compounds with trt doses of test and do just fine. As long as you're keeping your E in check, you should be fine.

I concur...I would delete the whole "Note" with the exception of the first sentence.

I think the whole write up is good. I am one of the ones who does better with my test at just about a 2.1 ratio. I usually run my tren around 400/week and my test around 750/week. I tried lower test higher tren and had libido issues. I wont be trying it again... That's just my personal experience.
