0

Unfortunately you cannot grow by just taking a pill or injecting sometime its not going to happen. In order to have a
good cycle and to experience the results you require you need to follow some simple guidelines. A lot of bodybuilders new and advanced make mistakes and these can affect your gains which is never good.

Always make sure that you have all the ‘gear’ you require for the whole cycle before starting, that includes syringes/needles, steroids and pct protocol, it is advisable to do this in case something happens mid cycle and you cannot obtain the rest.

Know your cycle inside and out, keep a diary of what needs to be taken and when keep a log of your thoughts and feelings whilst on your cycle.

Take before and after pictures of yourself and measure all your body parts, this will help you keep track better then the scales will as weight will fluctuate throughout. Measure the weight every 2 weeks at the same time on a reliable set of scales.

Take bodyfat measurements using a good calliper.

All of the above will help you keep track of your progress and goals and keep you motivated through out the cycle.

Sleep

Make sure that you get enough sleep/rest your body uses the nREM stages of sleep for your body to recovery from daily activities. Believe it or not your body grows when its in rest so it is vital to get at least 8hours minimum sleep
a night to ensure this. Also you will have more energy for using in the gym which is also a good thing. Sometimes its easier said then done to get 8 hours sleep especially if you have kids but do your best some times rest is as good as sleep so take some time out in the day if you can to relax and chill out.

Nutrition

To grow you need to feed your body food, its simple biology really, but unfortunately often an over looked principle. Many beginners starting out bodybuilding wonder why they are not getting bigger initially and often enough it comes down to the fact that they are not consuming enough calories to grow. If you consume more calories then your body burns daily then you will put on weight its simple.

Correct nutrition accounts for at least 80% of bodybuilding success with or without steroids. A protein rich high calorie diet is essential to putting on weight.

How many calories do I need per day to build muscle?

First you need to determine your lean body mass (LBM) you can usually do this on a scales and by using most body fat calculators they are available to use at many gyms if you don’t have your own and many shopping centres have them scattered about.

To determine your calorie needs multiply you LBMby 19. For example 168 x 19 =3192
So the above person weighing 168 would need to consume 3192 calories a day to gain weight assuming that you are undergoing a good weight training schedule. To gain even more weight then consume even more calories, these should be mainly proteins and carbs. Take advantage of the increased protein synthesis from the steroids.

Your meals should be split throughout the day ideally consuming food every 3 hours or so. What calories and proteins you cant get from food then consume a good protein drink.

Training

Your training routine needs to be sound, and consisting of either high intensity training or high volume training. Your muscle will recovery quicker so its important to jack up the training. High volume training works best for me doing around 20-30 sets per muscle group, but that’s just me, you should have some idea of what routines are working for you.

Do not miss any exercise sessions if you can help it, consistency is the key to success.

Never terminate a set simply because you have reach the required number of reps if you can do 1 or 2 more then do it.

It often helps to have a training partner to help spot you and encourage you to lift more.

Keep a training diary to keep a log of your sets and reps and the weights used, this will help you keep track of your progress in terms of strength increases.

It helps to have a structured program and know what body parts etc you are going to work out before you walk into the gym.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol. Alcohol puts stress on your liver which is not a good idea when your liver is already working hard with the AAS. It contains empty calories and destroys brain cells. In my opinion alcohol is worthless to anyone wishing
to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Drink plenty of water around 8+ glasses a day to keep your body hydrated. After all the body is made up of 70% water so the bigger you get the more water you need.
