Best Steroids for Beginners (And Best Stacks)

People who only recently stepped in the gym often are foolish enough to search for the best steroids for beginners, without learning more about the side-effects and the more sustainable alternatives.

If you’re a newbie, I’ll explain everything you need to know, in order to pack on muscle without risking your health with illegal steroids, but choosing legal alternatives instead.

I’ll also introduce you to one of the best beginner training programs to get bigger and stronger faster – Bill Starr’s 5 x 5 Program.

Be Careful

Doctors understand that steroids can be taken in a sensible way as they prescribe steroids to patients on a daily basis. They know that if they keep them on a low to moderate dose and don’t administer them for too long, risks of side effects are much less. Doctors also monitor patients regularly when taking drugs, conducting health checks to make sure there are no underlying problems.

However, using without a medical prescription is not only illegal but dangerous for your health. Even mild steroids can lead to serious side effects when used improperly or without an actual medical reason.

Most beginners will use oral steroids for their first steroid cycles, such as Dianabol or Anavar. This is due to easy administration and reducing the risk of a newbie injecting into the wrong location. The main downside with orals is that they get broken down by the liver, instead of going straight into your bloodstream.

Here are 5 steroid-cycles that are common practice among many bodybuilders. We are suggesting legal alternatives instead.

Best Test Steroid (Testosterone): Sustanon 250

Benefits

Synthetic testosterone is a man-made version of testosterone, your body’s most powerful anabolic hormone.

The increased levels of testosterone surging through your body that you will experience when you start taking synthetic testosterone will have an immediate and direct impact upon workout results. It will increase the number of ‘satellite cells’ that make your muscle fibers bigger. It is also believed that satellite cells may actually be able to join together to create new muscle fibers. This is known as hyperplasia. As a result, you will be able to put on around 5 pounds of muscle per month.

Another powerful effect of synthetic testosterone is that it will help you to stay out of a catabolic state after your workout. Typically you are in a muscle depleting state immediately after a heavy weights workout. But the extra testosterone that will be coursing through your body when you take Testogen, combined with your post-workout protein shake, will counter this effect.

As a result of these effects, synthetic testosterone can have a powerful effect on your muscle gaining ability. But it can also make you stronger. That’s because increased levels of testosterone coursing through your body while you are training will give you more calcium within your muscle cells. This will increase the force of your muscular contractions. You can expect to be about 30 percent stronger when using Testosterone. That means that if your max bench press is 200 pounds, supplementing with Testosterone will help get you up to 260 pounds.

Synthetic testosterone will also boost your workout endurance. When you take it, you will boost your body’s ability to produce red blood cells. That means that more oxygen will be getting to your muscle cells. More oxygen in the muscle means that you will be able to train harder for longer.

Side Effects

The side effects of synthetic testosterone range from mild to severe. When you introduce synthetic testosterone into your body, your natural production of testosterone may slow down or even stop. This can result in infertility. Another very common effect is acne due to the increased oil that is going into your system. Male pattern baldness is another unwanted effect of taking synthetic testosterone.

More serious side effects of introducing synthetic testosterone into your body include liver damage, enlarged prostate, and higher red blood cell count which is a predictor of heart disease.

Safest Steroid for Beginners: Anavar 

Muscle Gains – 

Anavar (by itself) is a very popular beginner steroid cycle, because it’s a mild compound, meaning users don’t usually experience severe side effects. Oxandrolone will appeal to those looking to burn fat and retain muscle. So if you’re bulking and want to put on mass/size, Anavar won’t be for you. But if you want to lose some fat and get ripped – Anavar can certainly do the job.

Because Anavar is a powerful fat burner, pro bodybuilders also incorporate this steroid in cutting cycles to help them accelerate fat burning before a competition. Sometimes your muscles can appear flat after a cut due to some muscle loss and depleted glycogen stores.

However, Anavar reverses this effect and increases muscle-building, due to its anabolic properties; making you look jacked as it increases glycogen storage in your muscles.

Anavar’s also a popular steroid for women, as it doesn’t result in any masculine side effects. Anavar will keep a woman looking feminine, because it is a very mild compound and not excessively androgenic. Unlike men, women tend to build significant amounts of muscle on anavar.

However, ladies shouldn’t expect to wake up looking like she-hulk; however they will add a considerable amount of muscle tissue, giving them a strong/lean/athletic-look.

Anavar side effects:

• Male pattern baldness (hair loss)
• Painful erections
• Less testosterone post-cycle

As you can see in the list above, the amount of anavar’s side effects is a lot less compared to other AAS; however complications can still occur. Some people believe anavar won’t significantly increase or shut down your natural testosterone production, however studies show that anavar DOES initially increase your testosterone levels during a cycle. Thus you can expect decreased levels of T post-cycle. As they say, “What goes up, must come down”.

However, anavar won’t increase your testosterone levels as much as dianabol (at the beginning of your cycle), nor will it shut you down as much as deca (after your cycle).

One drawback with anavar is that it’s quite costly. So, this isn’t the best steroid for a beginner who is short on money.

However, if anavar is out of your price range, clenbuterol is a cheaper alternative and it’s a more potent fat burner. Or you can go for anvarol which is a not only a safe and legal alternative; but also much cheaper than oxandrolone.

When weighing up anavar’s pros and cons, it’s no doubt one of the best steroids for beginners (if you’re cutting).

Dianabol 

Dianabol is one of the best steroids for bulking and is suitable for beginners to take (in pill form). Generally the more powerful a steroid is, the more side effects it causes. Oral dianabol is almost an exception to this rule, as it’s likely to get a beginner jacked, but won’t compromise their health (as much as other steroids can).

As a precaution, get your blood work regularly checked by a medical professional whilst taking d-bol and be sure to take a milk thistle supplement to help reduce the strain on your liver.

Injectable dianabol isn’t recommended as blood pressure levels are likely to rise to an excessive level. Injectable dbol may also increase the chances of a user developing gynecomastia, as well as other side effects.

Dianabol doesn’t have any fat-burning effects, making it best-suited for beginners who want to pack on as much muscle and strength as possible. Dianabol was thought to be taken by a young Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 60’s, helping transform him into a mass monster who later dominated the Olympia stage.

Bodybuilders can typically take 50mg of dianabol a day; however sensible beginners will start on 10mg a day, and increase as their body becomes more comfortable with dianabol.

Dianabol Side Effects:

• Liver strain (with orals)
• High blood pressure
• Male pattern baldness
• Low testosterone levels (post-cycle)
• Water retention
• Acne
• Increased risk of liver cancer
• Gynecomastia

If the above side effects aren’t for you, D-Bal is a legal steroid alternative that mimics the effects of dianabol (without the side effects).

Sustanon Cycle for Beginners (Testosterone) 

Testosterone is the most popular steroid for beginners, as it’s not overly toxic and it produces impressive muscle gains. Testosterone will cause a beginner to build muscle and burn fat (at the same time), changing a user’s body composition drastically. However, it should be known that testosterone’s muscle-building properties far outweigh it’s fat loss attributes.

Thus it would be wise to view testosterone as a bulking steroid that should be utilized with a high calorie diet, if you want to see significant muscle gains. Testosterone can be used when cutting to good effect, however its muscle-building potential will be reduced on lower calories. Some people may use test when cutting for two main reasons; they want to increase fat burning or/and they’re anxious about losing muscle.

Losing muscle is a pretty likely scenario on a cut; it’s just how much muscle you’ll lose. This isn’t the case when cutting with testosterone, where you’ll most likely retain all muscle – if not build some in the process.

A bodybuilder’s first steroid-cycle usually consists of taking some form of testosterone, most likely sustanon 250.

Sustanon 250 combines both short and long esters, meaning it enters your system fast (giving you rapid muscle gains), but also takes a while to leave your system; meaning you don’t have to take overly frequent doses.

Sustanon 250 side effects

Users are likely to experience several of the following adverse effects. If the user has good genetics, he may only experience very few of the below:

• Acne
• Liver strain
• High blood pressure
• Water retention
• Gynecomastia
• Hair loss/thinning

These adverse effects usually correct themselves when a cycle ends, unless a user takes excessively long cycles for many years and abuses testosterone.

However, if you don’t want to experience any of the side effects sustanon 250 causes; and you want to build muscle – Testo-Max is the legal steroid alternative.

Deca Durabolin 

Muscle gains – 

Deca durabolin is another powerful bulking steroid that can be used to build large amounts of lean muscle.

It’s also one of the best steroids for beginners because it contains long esters and is a slow-acting compound. This makes it newbie-friendly as it doesn’t enter the body too fast; meaning less side effects for the user.

Generally, deca durabolin requires more patience than other steroids because it doesn’t kick in straightaway like dianabol or testosterone can. It may take a week or so to really get into your system, but when it does – it’s one of the best steroids around for building muscle. Arnold Schwarzenegger was also rumored to be cycling deca alongside dianabol from a young age, causing him to develop such thick and full muscle bellies.

Deca’s is regarded as a ‘healthy steroid’ in the anabolic world as it’s often prescribed by doctors to those who are suffering from joint problems and bone loss (osteoporosis). Many other steroids can actually cause joint problems, especially winstrol – but deca durabolin has the reverse effect.

In terms of side effects, deca durabolin can cause the following:

• Deca dick (erectile dysfunction)
• Shuts down testosterone
• Increased aggression
• Water retention (bloat)
• Gynecomastia

Deca produces side effects similar to most steroids, but the most unique one is ‘deca dick’. This steroid may have the most impact on your sexual performance, so if this is important to you, you might want to opt for another steroid.

Typical Steroid Gains For a Newbie

How much muscle will you gain from your first steroid cycle? This is a common question which all beginners wonder. However, assuming you use the steroids mentioned in this article, take them for the time-span mentioned AND you have standard genetics; you can expect to gain 20-30lbs.

Most of this weight is likely to be in the form of muscle, with some being fluid retention. Oral dianabol and deca durabolin will cause the most water retention out of the steroids listed in this article. Testosterone can also cause fluid accumulation, however if you do an anavar-only cycle you won’t gain any water, as it has diuretic properties.

It’s worth noting that some users might take testosterone with anavar and only gain 10lbs. They could look amazing in the mirror and feel like their body’s transformed by 10x over, but only have 10lbs to show for it on the scales. This can happen when a user gains 15lbs of muscle and burns 5lbs of fat. This is a dramatic transformation, however if you’re judging your gains by the number on your scales – you might end up a little disappointed.

Looking in the mirror and taking before/after photos is a much more effective way to monitor your gains, than by standing on the scales. Especially if you’re running steroids together that have both muscle-building and fat-burning properties.

Do You Need PCT?

PCT stands for post-cycle therapy, which is the phase where bodybuilders try to desperately maintain the muscle mass and strength they gained from their cycle.

Post-cycle, your testosterone production plummets to abnormally low levels. As a result, your body has now shifted from being extremely anabolic, to now catabolic.

Catabolic = muscle-wasting state

One trick bodybuilders often implement to help their testosterone levels recover during this period is to take drugs like clomid or nolvadex. Essentially these are anti-estrogens, so by lowering the female sex hormone, T levels begin to surge again.

However, these drugs will do very little, if any steroids are still in your system. Thus you need to make a note of the half lives of the steroids you take, so you can calculate when they’ve completely left your system. As soon as they have bodybuilders will start taking clomid/nolvadex to prevent any muscle loss.

The idea is that you run these drugs for several weeks (usually 2-3 weeks) and by the end of this time, your natural testosterone production will be much higher in comparison to going cold turkey after a cycle.

HCG can also be utilized during this period too, to help restore testicle size. HCG stimulates the leydig cells, which in turn causes an increase in semen volume (and larger testicles). Testicular shrinkage is almost guaranteed with any steroid cycle.

It’s important for beginners to run an effective PCT, not only to help cement their gains, but to prevent their hormone levels from crashing (which can impact you physically and mentally).

Can You Safely Take Steroids?

Although these are the most common steroids used by beginners (due to their mild nature), they’re still illegal and can cause severe side effects. Thus, no anabolic steroid is “100% safe”, despite what any juiced up bodybuilder may tell you.

Also, a user under the age of 21 is still developing, thus taking AAS at this age may interfere with their bodies’ natural development, affecting them into adulthood.

Safest Steroids for Beginners

Those who are taking steroids for the first time need to start cautiously with a modest cycle using one of the safest anabolic steroids that comes with minimal side effects. The three best steroids for beginners are:

• Testosterone
• Anavar
• Dianabol

Testosterone for Bodybuilding

Testosterone is the most important hormone in your body when it comes to building muscle. It is an androgenic (male) sex hormone. It is produced by both men and women, with men producing 5-10 mg per day. This is about 10 times more than women. Testosterone enters into cells and binds to androgen receptors that act upon the cell nucleus. It increases protein synthesis, muscle mass and strength levels.

The exact mechanism by which testosterone makes muscle bigger is not fully understand. It is believed that it activates and increases the number of muscle fiber satellite cells. These satellite cells then gets incorporated into existing muscle fiber to make the muscle bigger.

Different Types of Testosterone

Your body makes a single type of testosterone. However, once it’s released into the bloodstream, the way that it becomes bound to certain proteins puts it into one of three classifications:

• Free Testosterone is not bound to any protein molecules at all. This the most biologically available form, able to perform any of the functions that we’ve already spoken about. However, free testosterone only comprises 2-3% of your total testosterone.
• SHBG Bound Testosterone is testosterone that is bound to the sex-hormone binding globulin. 40-45% of your total “T” is made up of this type.

Albumin Bound Testosterone is bound to a liver producing hormone that controls extra cellular fluid volume. This makes it inactive for other functions. However, because the bond between testosterone and albumin is weaker than that between “T” and SHBG, when your body needs more free testosterone, it will turn to albumin bound testosterone, breaking it apart and converting it to free testosterone. For this reason, ABT is generally classified along with free testosterone as readily available “T”.

When it comes to testosterone steroids, there are four types available, based on the ester that its attached to the hormone.

• Testosterone Enanthate – this has a large ester testosterone. It can be injected 1-2 times per week.
• Testosterone Cypionate – this has one extra carbon. It can also be injected 1-2 times per week.
• Testosterone Propionate – this has a shorter ester that is released faster into the body. It needs to be injected every other day in order to maintain blood concentration levels.
• Testosterone Suspension – this is a free ester that lasts in the body for less than a day. It needs to be injected every day.

Testosterone Dosage for Bodybuilding

There is no standard answer regarding the ideal dosage of testosterone for bodybuilders. For some people a dosage of 200mg per week may give awesome bodybuilding results while others may need as much as 500mg per week.

Each type of testosterone has different dosage recommendations. For testosterone enanthate and cypionate, the recommended dosage for a beginner is 400-500 mg per week.

For testosterone propionate, the best dosage for beginners is 100-150 mg every other day.

Testosterone Cycle for Beginners

Here is a sample 6 week Testosterone Propionate cycle:

• Week One: 100 mg on Mon / Wed / Fri
• Week Two: 100 mg on Mon / Wed / Fri
• Week Three: 100 mg on Mon / Wed / Fri
• Week Four: 150 mg on Mon / Wed / Fri
• Week Five: 150 mg on Mon / Wed / Fri
• Week Six: 150 mg on Mon / Wed / Fri

Best Cycle for Lean Mass

There are many cycles for lean mass and strength. One of the best involves testosterone cypionate. As well as packing on lean mass and boosting strength levels, test cypionate will improve workout recovery and increase endurance levels. It can be used for both bulking and cutting cycles.

Testosterone cypionate enhances the production of lutenizing hormone, which, in turn, boosts the body’s natural production of testosterone.

There are a number of side effects associated with Testosterone cypionate use including male pattern baldness, gynecomastia, acne, water retention and uncontrollable erections.

For an effective lean mass, strength stack pair Testosterone cypionate with Equipoise, which will ensure that you put on fat free muscle. Here is a sample 12 week stack:

• Week One: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Two: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Three: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Four: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Five: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Six: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Seven: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Eight: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Nine: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Ten: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Eleven: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week
• Week Twelve: Test cypionate – 400 mg per week: Equipoise – 400 mg per week

Dianabol

Dianabol is the brand name for the anabolic steroid Methandrostenolone. It is among the most popular steroids for muscle building due to its potent anabolic and mild androgenic properties. Dianabol is potent booster of protein synthesis. This steroid is mostly offered in oral form though you can also get it as an injectable.

Dianabol Dosage

The ideal Dianabol dosage for beginners is between 20-50 mg per day. I recommend starting with 20 mg for the first two weeks and then going up to 30mg for the next two weeks and, provided that you are not experiencing severe reactions, increasing by another 10 mg per week during the final two weeks.

Dianabol Cycle

Here is a sample Dianabol cycle for beginners:

• Week One: 20 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Two: 20 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Three: 30 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Four: 30 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Five: 40 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Six: 40 mg per day Dianabol

Anavar

Anavar is a DHT hormone that has been structurally altered. It is one of the most popular oral anabolic steroids that exists. It is highly anabolic while have very mild androgenic effects. Anavar is able to increase nitrogen retention within the muscle cell  which increases the anabolic environment. It also increases red blood cell count which promotes muscular endurance.

Anavar Dosage

The ideal Anavar dosage for beginners is 30-50 mg per day over an 8 week cycle. Because Anavar has a milder level of hepatoxicity than other steroids you can extend you cycle  longer than with most other compounds.

Anavar Cycle

Here is an sample 8 week Anavar cycle for beginners:

• Week One: 30 mg per day Anavar
• Week Two: 30 mg per day Anavar
• Week Three: 30 mg per day Anavar
• Week Four: 40 mg per day Anavar
• Week Five: 40 mg per day Anavar
• Week Six: 40 mg per day Anavar
• Week Seven: 50 mg per day Anavar
• Week Eight: 50 mg per day Anavar

Deca Durabolin

Deca Durabolin is the brand name of the steroid Nandrolone. It is popularly used by bodybuilders as an off season bulking agent. It will increase protein synthesis, nitrogen retention and inhibits glucocorticoids. This combination will boost your ability to pack on lean muscle mass.

Deca Durabolin Dosage

The recommended Deca Durabolin starting dosage is 300 mg per week over a 16 week cycle. If you increase the dosage to 400 mg, reduce the cycle length to 12 weeks. Because it has a long half life of up to 16 days.

Deca Durabolin Cycle

Here is a recommended Deca Durabolin cycle for beginners over a 16 week period.

• Week One: 300 mg per week Deca
• Week Two: 300 mg per week Deca

• Week Twelve: 200 mg per week Deca / 200 mg per week Testosterone

Best Oral Steroid Stack for Beginners

The best oral steroid stack for beginners will always be a matter of debate. We have provided some great sample cycles in this article. Here is one more that has given great results for a lot of people. It combines Deca Durabolin with Dianabol over an 8 week cycle.

• Week One: 200 mg per week Deca / 25 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Two: 200 mg per week Deca / 25 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Three: 200 mg per week Deca / 25 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Four: 200 mg per week Deca / 25 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Five: 200 mg per week Deca / 25 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Six: 200 mg per week Deca / 25 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Seven: 200 mg per week Deca / 25 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Eight: 200 mg per week Deca / 25 mg per day Dianabol

Best Steroid Cycle for Muscle Gain

Anavar is often labeled as the safest steroid for beginners, causing significant fat loss and noticeable lean muscle gains. Side effects are rarely experienced by men or women on Anavar, hence how it is FDA approved in medicine.

A noteworthy side effect with Anavar is a modest decline in endogenous testosterone production. Natural test levels will not get shut down, but they will decrease. Such declines typically shoot back up post-cycle within several weeks to a couple of months.

Muscle gains will not be overly dramatic on Anavar, compared to the other compounds on this list, however, if a huge mass isn’t the goal; an Anavar-only cycle is often chosen.

An Anavar-only cycle is common among users wary of side effects and is often administered by those who are afraid of taking steroids in general (but opt for Anavar due to its high safety profile).

An example of Anavar-Only Cycle

This is a conservative dose for males during the first cycle. In future Anavar cycles, 20mg may be used from the 1st week onward; and the length of a cycle may be increased to 8 weeks.

PCT: Due to Anavar only being a mild steroid, a PCT is not essential, as users do not typically ‘crash’. Thus, hormones typically will regulate back to normal within several weeks.

12 Week Bulking Steroid Cycle

If you are after a truly power 12 week bulking stack, you should consider stacking Testosterone with Dbol. With this stack you take the Dbol in tablet form over the first five weeks in order to get you off to a powerful start. Here is how to run the cycle:

• Weeks 1-5: Dbol Tabs – 40 mg per day
• Week 1-2: Testosterone Enanthate injections – 500 mg per week

We recommend dividing up your weekly Testosterone Enanthate dosage into 4-5 even injections that are evenly spaced over the course of the week.

Best Steroids to get Big Quick

1. Dianabol
2. Anadrol
3. Testosterone
4. Trenbolone
5. Deca Durabolin

Legal Steroids for Sale

A safer alternative would be to take ‘legal steroids’, otherwise known as ‘steroid alternatives’. These are FDA approved anabolics aimed to mimic the positive effects of steroids, but they don’t come with the harsh side effects. So, if you’re a beginner and you’re thinking about taking anabolic steroids, you might want to try steroid alternatives or prohormones first (which are lighter on the system). This way you won’t be putting your health/life at risk.

Also with ‘legal steroids’ they’re cheaper than anabolic steroids AND you won’t be breaking the law, so you’ll be able to sleep comfortably at night without having to worry that you can’t afford your rent, or that the police are going to bust down your door.

Summary

So, it’s completely up to you which steroids you use during your first cycle, but the 4 best steroids for beginners are considered to be:

• Testosterone
• Oral dianabol
• Anavar
• Deca durabolin

Compounds like clenbuterol are also suitable for beginners to take, as it is a mild substance and won’t shut down testosterone levels. However clenbuterol is primarily a fat burner and used for cutting purposes; thus won’t produce any significant muscle gains.

Anavar is thought to be the safest steroid a bodybuilder can take. Still it can have multiple side-effects

Many first-time steroid users will refrain from using injectables until their body starts to tolerate orals; thus staying away from toxic steroids such as: Anadrol and trenbolone as these are too harsh for a beginner. Also do not take steroids if you have any health issues, or any conditions that run in your family, as this will put you more at risk of developing severe side effects.

Lastly, your first steroid cycle will often produce the best muscle gains of your life; so be sure to train like a lion and eat like a king during this period to maximize your gains.

Dianabol is the brand name for the anabolic steroid Methandrostenolone. It is among the most popular steroids for muscle building due to its potent anabolic and mild androgenic properties. Dianabol is potent booster of protein synthesis. This steroid is mostly offered in oral form though you can also get it as an injectable.

Dianabol Dosage

The ideal Dianabol dosage for beginners is between 20-50 mg per day. I recommend starting with 20 mg for the first two weeks and then going up to 30mg for the next two weeks and, provided that you are not experiencing severe reactions, increasing by another 10 mg per week during the final two weeks.

Dianabol Cycle

Here is a sample Dianabol cycle for beginners:
• Week One: 20 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Two: 20 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Three: 30 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Four: 30 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Five: 40 mg per day Dianabol
• Week Six: 40 mg per day Dianabol
