There are literally hundreds if not thousands of different steroid stacks out there in the anabolic world. With a list of hundreds of forms of anabolic steroids it should be easy to understand how so many combination's can be made which in many cases in-turn will make this process all the more confusing to you. Testosterones, Nandrolones, orals, injectables, bulking, cutting, AI’s, PCT; the list goes on and on and then it goes on some more. Fortunately for you developing solid anabolic steroid stacks is not as difficult as it may seem; quite often people make it difficult, more difficult than it should be out of both concern and confusion. Make no mistake, these powerful hormones must be treated with respect and you absolutely need to know what you’re doing if you so choose to use them. However, you have the ability the same as anyone else to learn, to educate yourself on proper methods of procedure. What we’ll do here is provide some solid examples of various steroid stacks but in the end your own personal anabolic education will prove to be paramount.;
Steroid Stacks – The Foundation:
While there are definitely exceptions to the rule, in most cases for the healthy adult male the foundation of all your cycles will be and should be that of testosterone. Testosterone is one of the most all around efficient steroidal hormones we can use; it is essential to not only proper bodily function but essential to muscle building and preservation as well. Moreover, while testosterone is of the upmost importance it is further one of the better tolerated hormones; after all, it is a hormone naturally produced in your own body. It is important to understand, when you supplement with anabolic androgenic steroids your natural testosterone levels will be shut down and to keep levels at a proper level or in many cases above normal for performance enhancing we must supplement with exogenous testosterone. As mentioned, there are exceptions to the rule; there are solid steroid stacks in-which testosterone will not be used; in most cases this will be the case with most women who use anabolic steroids but for our purposes here we will only discuss the general male steroid stacks of importance.
Beginner Steroid Stacks:
For the beginner, the first time user a very basic cycle is all that is needed. Although this is a common and efficient beginner’s cycle the word “beginner” can be a little misleading. Although this is where we recommend most beginners to begin, in many cases this will be all many individuals ever need no matter how advanced they become. For most of you a simple course of 12 weeks of testosterone therapy using either Testosterone-Enanthate or Testosterone-Cypionate at a dose of 400mg-500mg per week will produce fantastic results. While this cycle will produce great gains or even aid greatly in leaning out depending on your nutritional intake, the effects may not be noticeable until the 4 week mark. For that reason many enjoy a nice kick start of such anabolics as Dianabol. While it is not necessary by any means it will provide a nice boost and some added strength and size as well. The following is a solid beginner cycle worth its weight in gold for any athlete:
-Option 1:
WK 1-12: Testosterone-Enanthate or Testosterone-Cypionate 500mg/wk
WK 13-15: No Anabolic Steroids
WK 16-18: Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)
-PCT Protocol:
WK 1: Nolvadex 40mg/ed

-PCT Protocol:
WK 1: Nolvadex 40mg/ed
WK 2: Nolvadex 40mg/ed
WK 3: Nolvadex 20mg/ed
*Intermediate Steroid Stacks:
While Testosterone was our base in the beginner stack it will be again here as well. Further, the original steroid stacks listed above may be applied more than once; remember, the above is all you may ever need but if you’re looking for a little more the following will provide such a boost:
-Option 1:
WK 1-6: Dianabol 50mg/ed
WK 1-12: Deca-Durabolin 400mg/wk
WK 1-12: Testosterone-Enanthate or Testosterone-Cypionate 750mg/wk

***Important Note on Intermediate Steroid Stacks***
While some will be fine, many will need to use a good aromatase inhibitor throughout the duration of the cycle. In most cases a dose of 0.5mg/eod of either Arimidex or Letrozol will suffice.
Advanced Steroid Stacks:
While the following anabolic steroid stacks will be by far the most powerful and potent of all they are of also the highest in-regards to potential negative side-effects and should not be taken lightly. For the majority of you these types of cycles will never be used nor should they be; simply view them as information to store away in your own personal vault. Again, Testosterone will be the base and for the extremely hardcore and highly advanced these cycles will prove to be the ultimate in pure muscle performance. While almost all cycles can effectively be used for either cutting or bulking in our advanced section we will list one cycle more apt to provide one or the other; starting with bulking and ending with cutting.
