So my first cycle I am going to have to dramatically cut fat and build strength. My first order of business is to cut body fat and that means clenbuterol (clen). Not a anabolic steroid of course but and absolute must when trying to melt body fat. The conventional wisdom is to go two weeks on and two weeks off because of clen targeting beta-2 and 3 the off cycle is to prevent receptor desensitization. However I am not conventional and there is evidence that this is simply a theory that caught on and no scientific evidence behind the “2 week off” being enough time to clear clenbuterol from the body. In fact clen having a half life of 10 hours in its rapid phase and many days in its slower phase tow weeks is hardly time to eliminate clen from your system. So I will employ a 3 week on 3 week off trial and error experiment.

Another conventional wisdom is to add a t-3 synthetic cytomel and yohimbe along side the clenbuterol doses. I will start with raw clen my first two cycles and then dive into these add ons to compare results.

OK so that brings me to days and dosages. It is also a fact that clen must be stepped up and down to avoid some of the uncomfortable side effects. Stepping up will give the body a buffer zone to get used to these sides like sweating, hand tremors, rapid heart beat etc. I will start with 40mcg and go until the hand shakes are manageable (2-3 days). I will work my way up to 100-120mcgs a day at peak. If for some reason I never settle with 80mcg then I will stop there.

That does it for the the clenbuterol for weight loss. Now on to the meat of the matter. Again the majority of the steroid experts will tell you that you must run testosterone with any cycle you do. Now this advice does have its merits, but blanket statements are usually born out of ignorance. My research led me to three possible candidates for a first cycle. In keeping with the melting fat away, I was left with three contenders:

  • Winstrol (standozolol)
  • Primobolan (methenolone acetate)
  • Anavar (oxandrolone)

These three are fairly mild in the side effect catagory, all used in cutting cycles, and all give good strength gains with limited weight gains. The latter reason being why many body builder advice will try and sway you away from taking these (especially as a simple one substance only cycle). This is where you must seperate yourself from the advice the “pros” will give and what you want to achieve. As I already stated, fat loss and strength gains are my main objective in this initial cycle.

I through Winstrol out almost immediately. Some of what I read and investigated just put a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Some people swear by Winstrol, especially women body builders. I would have to guess that it is a fine substance if used moderately (like the ladies do) but using it excessively in a cycle can lead to some pretty bad sides(major hair loss being one common theme). I also concluded that to get the full effects of Winstrol I should run a side of test, which I didnt want to do right now.

Primobolan is very interesting substance. It has very mild sides, including limited suppression of the HPTA(hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis). It also comes in a pill form that is non-liver-toxic. It almost seems like a miracle steroid. Now I didnt go with primo because of one simple reason; I want to save it for my summer cutting cycle with a side of testosterone.

So I decided on an anavar only cycle to start with. Anavar has very limited sides, mild, maybe the best fat cutting AAS and some people claim some pretty incredible strength gains while on an anavar cycle. So what is its down side? It is god-damn expensive. Price is really no concern right now with me, so I will do a short (40 day) 30mgs a day anavar only cycle. Yes I do know that 30mgs is considered by most a waste, however I am not most, and we are doing trial by error experimentation (anabolic steroid for the normal guy) here.

So off we go.
