Strength Gains: 5/5

Pros

  • Exceptional muscle gains
  • Significant increases in strength
  • Suitable for beginners (in oral form).
  • Low cost

Dianabol is arguably the most sought-after bulking steroid on the planet, due to its exceptional ability to add large amounts of muscle in a short space of time.

It’s available in oral and injectable form. Many people opt for dianabol in oral form due to the convenience/ease of popping a tablet. However with injectables you’re likely to experience more gains; due to it entering the blood stream directly (and not having to pass through the liver).

However, when injecting dianabol you’re more susceptible to severe side effects; as your body’s utilizing more of the dianabol dose. Thus injectable dianabol isn’t recommended for beginners, as it requires knowledge to able to inject safely; and due to the user experiencing more side effects.

The only disadvantage in regards to oral dianabol is that it’s taxing on the liver. Thus if you take excessive doses of dianabol and don’t take adequate time off the steroid; your liver will become damaged. The good news is you can take liver support supplements during your cycle, such as liv-52 or Liver Stabil, which’ll help to protect the organ. Also the liver is a very resilient organ, meaning it can take a lot of abuse before it fails. However, no abuse is always optimal.

Anadrol is one of the only bulking steroids which beats d-bol, in terms of strength and size gains. However, anadrol is more toxic than dianabol, which is why dbol is a more popular option in bodybuilding. If you’re new to steroids and you take dianabol for your first cycle, get ready to hit new PR’s within the first week of administration; as well as your muscles blowing up more every day.

Gaining 18lbs from a first time dianabol cycle is pretty common among users, using a moderate dose. Most of this will be muscle mass and some temporary water retention.

Cons

  • Increased LDL cholesterol levels
  • Spiked blood pressure
  • Liver strain (orals)
  • Water retention
  • Risk of gyno
  • Oily skin (acne)
  • Hair loss
  • Shuts down testosterone

All steroids will have a negative effect on cholesterol levels, increasing LDL and decreasing HDL scores. This results in higher blood pressure for the user. To improve your cholesterol/blood pressure on-cycle, supplement with fish oil and lipid stabil.

As previously mentioned, methandrostenolone (oral dianabol), can cause stress to the liver. However, studies have shown that keeping the dose of oral dianabol to 10mg a day for 6-8 weeks, reduces the risk of excessive damage.

Dianabol aromatizes in the body and thus there’s moderate estrogenic activity, increasing the risk of gynecomastia. If you’re susceptible or worried about gyno, the best strategy is to take an AI (aromatase inhibitor), such as Arimidex. One downside with arimidex is that it’s quite costly, in which case users can opt for anti-estrogens such as Nolvadex or Proviron, which are also effective and lighter on your wallet.

As a result of dianabol’s aromatization, users can also expect to experience some water retention. This can temporarily decrease muscle tone and increase bloating. However, if you eat a clean diet, without excessive amounts of sodium, and you keep your dose in the low-to-moderate range; such water retention shouldn’t be an issue.

All AAS will shut down testosterone to some degree. This side effect is quite significant in dianabol’s case, with studies showing it to decrease T levels by 69% (on 15mg of dianabol a day for 8 weeks). For the average user it can take 1-4 months for testosterone levels to recover back to normal natural levels.

Low Dose

A very cautious dianabol cycle for a beginner looks like the following:

dianabol cycle

Day 1

Quads, Hamstrings and Calves
ExerciseSetsRep Goal
 Squats 3 25
 Leg Press 5 50
 Leg Extension 3 40
 Stiff Leg Deadlift 3 25
 Leg Curls 3 40
 Seated Calf Raise 3 40
 Standing Calf Raise 3 40

Note: These are low doses to start off with, thus minimizing side effects and preparing the body for future cycles. This dianabol cycle will result in approximately 10lbs of weight gain.

Low-Moderate Dose

This is an effective follow up cycle, to the first dianabol cycle; increasing the duration by 2 weeks and upping the dose.

Note: Some beginners adopt a more aggressive strategy for their first dianabol cycle, compared to the above doses. Newbie dianabol-users take as much as 30mg a day for 4 weeks. This will result in more side effects compared to the above cycles, however more gains will also be experienced from this higher dose.

30mg a day for 4 weeks will result in roughly 18lbs of weight gain for a beginner. Experienced and elite bodybuilders take even higher doses, ranging from 50-100mg per day.

#2 Anadrol

ANADROLE Summary

ANADROLE

The drug ‘Anadrol’ doesn’t conjure images of a good time, but it does conjure images of bloating, aggression, and a poor appetite – not exactly what I was looking for…

ANADROLE was designed to be more forgiving and not make you want to pump out your stomach. As always, this will incorporate various different ingredients working together to give you the best results.

Beet Root Extract for better pumps, Vitamin B6 to lower progesterone, and L-Carnitine for improved energy – what’s not to love?

Unlike Anadrol, this is not illegal and will not impact your liver or hunger.

Muscle Gains: 5/5

Strength Gains: 5/5

Pros

  • Exceptional muscle gains
  • Amazing strength gains

Otherwise known as oxymetholone or anadrol 50 (oral version).

Anadrol is arguably the #1 steroid in the world for bulking. If your body can tolerate the side effects of anadrol, it’s viewed as a must-have steroid in the off season – used regularly by competitive bodybuilders.

The only reason why anadrol isn’t the most popular steroid on the market, is because it’s not suitable for beginners (due to its powerful nature). If your goal is to gain as much muscle and strength as possible; anadrol will give you the gains you’re after.

However, if you only want to build a little bit of muscle and you’re worried about side effects – anadrol probably isn’t the steroid for you.

Cons

  • Toxic to the liver
  • High blood pressure
  • Acne
  • Hair loss
  • Significant water retention
  • Risk of gyno
  • Testosterone suppression

Oxymetholone is a c17-alpha alkylated steroid, meaning a large amount of the compound will enter the blood stream – when taken in oral form. The downside with C17-alpha alkylated compounds is that they’re particularly harsh on the liver, so injecting anadrol will still stress the liver. Thus it makes sense for bodybuilders to take anadrol 50 (oral), as it’s more convenient to take; and has similar absorption/side effects to injecting anadrol.

Anadrol has a profound effect on cholesterol levels, causing blood pressure to rise. Anadrol should not be used (or at least very cautiously used) by people susceptible to heart disease. Studies have shown doses of 50-100mg per day, over 12 weeks, has a dramatic negative effect on cholesterol levels.

Anadrol, like with other AAS, can cause acne due to the stimulation of the sebaceous glands

This steroid can also cause hair thinning or hair loss (on the scalp), due to it being a DHT-based steroid. Taking products like finasteride or dutasteride are unlikely to prevent this, as these products only prevent hair loss by blocking 5-alpha reductase. The 5-alpha reductase conversion doesn’t exist with anadrol, as it doesn’t convert to DHT (it’s already a DHT derivative).

If you’re a bodybuilder who typically stays shredded year round, trying to look as aesthetic as possible, anadrol may not be the steroid for you. This is because you’re almost certain to gain a significant amount of water weight on anadrol. Thus you may become bloated and your body may begin to look puffy or smooth. This extra fluid will actually aid your strength gains, due to intracellular water filling the muscle cells.

Gynecomastia is caused by an elevation in estrogen or/and progesterone levels. Anadrol won’t cause an increase in progesterone, but it is a very estrogenic steroid; and thus there’s a risk of gyno occurring. Using nolvadex can help to keep gyno at bay, however using anti-aromatase products won’t work; as anadrol doesn’t aromatize.

Also prepare to lose a considerable amount of weight after you come off anadrol, which isn’t anything to be alarmed by – it’s just the water flushing out of your body.

“What Goes Up, Must Come Down”

As with any steroid that gives you incredible gains, you’ll also experience some adverse effects. You can expect a pretty big crash after coming off anadrol in regards to T levels, making PCT even more important after using this compound.

One strategy some users implement to try and prevent the sudden “crash” is to run deca durabolin (a less toxic steroid) for a few weeks after stopping anadrol. Running deca in this way helps to wean your body off anadrol and help solidify the gains you made on-cycle.

Low Dose

Anadrol is not a typical first steroid protocol, due to its toxicity. However, some newbies do take anadrol and experience exceptional gains.

anadrol only cycle

The above cycle can result in 20lbs of weight gain (in someone new to steroids).

Moderate Dose

The following cycle is common among experienced steroid-users (who’ve used anadrol or other steroids before). The dose is upped slightly and the duration is extended to 8 weeks.

Side effects will be more present when taking higher doses and longer cycles. However the above

protocol isn’t deemed to be excessive.

#3 Testosterone

TESTO-MAX Summary

TESTO-MAX

In case you are not too keen on breaking the law by using Testosterone, then TESTO-MAX is the product for you. Designed to replicate the results of Testosterone without the legality issues or the side effects.

Perhaps one of the more interesting ingredients in TESTO-MAX would be the addition of Boron, which has been shown to increase free Testosterone by reducing SHBG.

There are several other ingredients that can help improving your overall health and will surely help in your fitness endeavors.

TESTO-MAX Overview

Muscle Gains: 4.5/5

Strength Gains: 4.5/5

Pros

  • Significant muscle growth
  • Increased strength
  • Fat burning
  • Suitable for beginners
  • No liver side effects

Testosterone is used as a base steroid in many cycles. When planning a cycle, many bodybuilders will start with testosterone, then stack other steroids with test to enhance their gains.

Here’s a few testosterone combinations that work well:

  • Testosterone/trenbolone
  • Testosterone/deca
  • Testosterone/dianabol. 

Testosterone works similar to dianabol, but generally results in less side effects.

That’s why a test-only cycle is very popular among beginners (who are more susceptible to adverse effects).

Overall, test is a great steroid for bulking that will almost certainly make your muscles blow up.

One unique advantage of using testosterone during a bulking cycle, is its fat burning effects. With test, unless you’re eating like a Sumo Wrestler, you’ll keep fat at bay; or better yet, reduce your body fat percentage. The only other bulking steroid that has fat-burning effects like test is trenbolone. So if you want lean gains, without gaining fat in the off-season, testosterone is a solid choice.

Testosterone comes in many forms and esters, giving users the option of taking this steroid orally or injecting it.

Studies have shown testosterone to have no hepatotoxic effects after taking 2,800mg each week for 20 days. Thus if you want to take steroids, but you like alcohol, testosterone may be a safer steroid for you.

Cons

  • Water retention
  • Gyno
  • Hair loss
  • Acne
  • Mild increase in cholesterol
  • Increased blood pressure

Water retention is common when on testosterone, due to it converting to estrogen. However, users only notice significant amounts of fluid when taking mega doses of test.

Testosterone has moderate estrogen activity, meaning gynecomastia is possible. However, taking tamoxifen citrate can prevent any female breast tissue forming.

Testosterone has a high androgenic score of 100, thus if you’re genetically predisposed to MPB (male pattern baldness), test can accelerate this. If you’re worried about losing your hair, there are 2 solutions available; one would be to take a less androgenic steroid like deca durabolin (which doesn’t convert to DHT). Or you can take finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, which will reduce the damage to hair follicles located on the scalp.

Because of testosterone’s high androgenic activity, it can cause acne in individuals who’s bodies naturally produce more sebum.

Testosterone will increase LDL cholesterol levels (the bad kind), however this is typically less compared to other AAS. Two reasons why cholesterol levels remain fairly normal on test, is because of its high aromatization activity; and because testosterone gets metabolised by the liver; resulting in a better cholesterol ratio.

A rise in cholesterol and water retention leads to raised systolic blood pressure on testosterone; however this is relatively mild compared to other anabolic steroids like anadrol or dianabol.

Testosterone enanthate

Testosterone enanthate is a slow release form of testosterone and was the first form of testosterone with an ester attached to it. The ester was designed to regulate the activity of the testosterone and slow down its release. It is probably the most commonly used steroid to treat low testosterone levels. It is one of the most affordable steroids on the market. It is also one of the most well tolerated by users.

Testosterone enanthate is suitable for all levels of user. It will provide the following benefits to users:

  • Enhancing protein synthesis
  • Enhancing nitrogen retention
  • Increasing red blood cell count
  • Increasing IGF-1 output

Testosterone cypionate

Testosterone cypionate is nearly identical to enanthate. Whereas enanthate is more popular in Europe, cypionate is far more numerous in the USA. It is both highly anabolic and androgenic. The key difference between enanthate and cypionate comes down to the way that the atoms are constructed. Cypionate has an extra carbon attached to it. However, that does not make a huge difference, with both versions being slow acting, taking 4-6 weeks for the full effects to be realized.

Testosterone propionate

Testosterone propionate is a single ester testosterone compound. The propionate ester has been attached to the synthetic testosterone hormone, which allows the release time to be controlled. This provides a more stable way to control blood sugar levels. Propionate will result in less water retention than cypionate and enanthate. This makes it a popular choice to use during a cutting cycle.

Low Dose

This can be injected or taken orally. The following testosterone cycle is thought to build a similar amount of muscle/mass as the low dose dianabol cycle. However, this is a more popular cycle for beginners as it causes less stress on the liver and results in a smaller spike in blood pressure.

first test steroid cycle

Testosterone is considered the safest steroid to take for bulking, and is possibly the best steroid in terms of risk vs rewards.

Moderate dose

testosterone cycle

This is a higher dosed cycle aimed for users who already have a testosterone cycle under their belt. This cycle’s been extended by 3 weeks and as a result will yield better gains; with a slight increase in side effects (being androgenic and cardiovascular).

Moderate dose (Sustanon 250)

Here’s another cycle that bodybuilders perform with sustanon 250 – a blend of 4 different testosterone esters being:

  • Testosterone propionate – 30mg
  • Testosterone phenylpropionate – 60mg
  • Testosterone isocaproate – 60mg
  • Testosterone decanoate – 100mg

Testosterone Cycle

Sustanon 250 is thought to be of the most effective forms of testosterone, due to the combination of short and long esters. Short esters mean you’ll make gains fast; whilst long esters means you’ll still be making gains during the later stages of your cycle.

The above cycle is an example of a moderate dose.

#4 Deca Durabolin

DECADURO Summary

DECADURO

Deca or Nandrolone Decaonate is pne of the most famous steroids on the market – with one big drawback. Boy oh boy will it blow you up – in a bad way. Bloating is the name of the game with this bad boy.

DECADURO was designed to give you some of the benefits of Deca, with far fewer drawbacks – hell yes! As with all the other CrazyBulk products, we’re going to see various ingredients present to help you out.

First, ingredients like Citrulline are going to help you get a better pump. Then Ginseng is going to give you more energy, and Tribulus could help you get stronger as well.

Overall, a suitable option for those looking to get a slight edge in the fitness world.

Muscle Gains: 3.5/5

Strength Gains: 4.5/5

Pros:

  • Significant muscle size
  • Exceptional for strength
  • Good for joints
  • Low androgenic activity
  • Low estrogenic activity
  • Not toxic to liver
  • Increases collagen

Deca durabolin is a strong anabolic which many bodybuilders utilize in the off-season to help them build noticeable amounts of lean mass.

With deca, your muscles will be fuller and thicker than ever before. Having big muscles is one thing, having incredibly thick and full muscles which makes you look photoshopped is another.

If you don’t know what I mean by ‘full muscles’ or ‘looking photoshopped’ – look at Chul Soon (below).

This is the ‘thick’ look, typical of deca durabolin users.

Deca will result in a small amount of water retention, however you’ll hold less fluid compared to dianabol or anadrol, due to its low conversion into estrogen. Thus, most of the weight you’ll gain on deca will be permanent muscle weight that’ll remain post-cycle.

Deca durabolin’s estrogen conversion rate is only 20%,compared to testosterone’s conversion. Thus gynecomastia is still possible on deca durabolin, but much less likely to happen. Also because of its low estrogenic activity, water retention is also considerably less (compared to other steroids).

Anti-estrogens or aromatase inhibitors can be run alongside deca if high doses are being taken; in a bid to further prevent any estrogen-related side effects.

Deca is not a c-17 alpha alkylated compound and thus poses very minimal risk to your liver.

Deca-users also commonly report better/stronger tendons and joints, which is contrary to other anabolic steroids. This is because deca increases the production of collagen, which helps to improve bone density and cartilage health (tissue surrounding your joints). This can reduce the risk of injury in the gym, especially if you’re an older bodybuilder or/and like to lift heavy.

This increase in collagen synthesis also helps a bodybuilders skin to look better (and less aged).

Cons:

  • Slow-acting
  • Shuts down testosterone
  • Low libido (when used by itself)
  • Not very effective by itself

Deca durabolin contains long esters, meaning it takes a considerable amount of time before a user experiences significant strength/muscle gains. Therefore it’s not a fast-acting compound, and exceptional gains aren’t typical in the first couple of weeks.

Studies have shown that when 100mg of deca durabolin per week is taken (for 6 weeks), testosterone levels decrease by 57%.

And when 300mg of deca durabolin is taken (per week), testosterone levels drop by 70%. However, upon discontinuation of deca, natural testosterone levels should recover between 2-6 months.

As a result of deca durabolin’s negative effect on natural testosterone production, can cause a lowered libido or erectile dysfunction, commonly known as ‘deca dick’. As your test levels recover, this effect will go away and your sexual performance will improve.

Deca durabolin isn’t great for building muscle by itself, hence why not many educated bodybuilders will run deca-only cycles. On its own deca will produce approximately half the gains of a testosterone-only cycle.

However, when combined with steroids like dianabol, anadrol, testosterone or trenbolone together in a stack; deca can be a shrewd addition to any bulking cycle.

Low Dose

A common protocol is to stack deca durabolin with dianabol; so below is a low-dosed cycle for those new to steroids. These 2 compounds are likely to be the combination used by Arnold Schwarzenegger back in the 70’s

#5 Trenbolone

TRENOROL Summary

TRENOROL

Trenorol is supposed to be a legal alternative to perhaps the most popular steroid in the world – Trenbolone. It has to be said that this will not come close to the results of Trenbolone, however, it won’t have any of the side effects.

As with all the other Crazybulk products, it incorporates various different ingredients to work in tandem with one another to give you the best results possible.

Ingredients such as Cinnamon, Ashwagandha, Zinc, and varios others all will play a role in helping you get to the next level.

Muscle Gains: 4/5

Strength Gains: 4/5

Pros

  • Significant muscle gains
  • Fat burning
  • Big strength gains
  • No water retention
  • Not overly toxic to the liver

Trenbolone comes in injectable and oral forms, with tren acetate being the most popular version.

Trenbolone is hailed by some as the greatest steroid ever created. This is because it produces huge muscle gains; without any water retention.

Thus if you gain 25lbs on tren, you can bet almost ALL of this weight is pure muscle mass.

Actually, in this example it’s possible to gain even more than 25lbs of muscle, as tren also has fat burning properties.

It’s ability to build muscle and burn fat, makes it one of the best steroids for transforming your body in a single cycle. Tren is great for users looking to gain extra size during a bulk, whilst simultaneously preventing any fat gain.

Trenbolone is 3x more androgenic than testosterone, which gives a clue as to how powerful this compound really is.

Trenbolone isn’t regarded as a hepatotoxic compound, and thus the risk of liver damage is low (especially in low to moderate doses). However, liver failure may still be possible if mega doses are consumed for long periods of time.

Cons

  • Acne
  • High blood pressure
  • Shuts down testosterone
  • Stimulant-like effects

Due to the sheer power of trenbolone, it’s not generally taken by beginners, as side effects are more severe compared to other steroids. Trenbolone is a very androgenic compound and thus oily skin and acne are common side effects.

A rise in blood pressure is also inevitable as LDL levels spike and HDL levels take a dive. Injectable trenbolone will cause BP to rise more than oral tren. All measures should be taken to reduce the strain trenbolone has on the heart, thus it’d be wise to perform regular cardiovascular exercise, whilst supplementing with fish oil and a cholesterol aid (such as Lipid Stabil).

Trenbolone often produces stimulant-like effects; increasing the chances of sweating, anxiety and insomnia during a cycle. Thus if you’re sensitive to every-day stimulants, such as: pre-workouts, coffee, coca-cola etc. then tren is likely to cause similar adverse effects.

Best Steroids for Cutting

The 3 best steroids for cutting are . . .

Anavar

Anavar is one of the safest, most effective fat cutting steroids that exist. It can be used by both men and women. Cycles are short, from 2 to 4 weeks, following a 2-4 week off cycle and then a repeat cycle.

Men should take 50-80 mg per day, while women should lower that right back to 10mg per day.

Winstrol

Winstrol is generally recognized as the most effective steroid for fat loss. However, it also carries some serious side effects. Men should use 50mg per day while women should use a daily dosage of 10-12mg. Be sure to follow a PCT cycle of 4 weeks after completing a Winstrol cycle. I recommend using Tamoxifen for your PCT.

Primobolan

Primobolan is one of the safest anabolic steroids that you can take. It works especially well when used in conjunction with plenty of cardio exercise. Dosages can range from 100-600mg per week, depending on your ability to tolerate it. Cycles should last between 8-12 weeks.

Best Steroids for Strength

The 3 best steroids for strength gains are . . .

Anadrol

Anadrol is among the best steroids for pure strength gains. It is able to boost red blood cell count to improve muscular strength and endurance. Anadrol is a derivative of testosterone. The recommended dosage is between 25 and 125, depending on your tolerance and experience level. This should be divided into two dosages.

Anavar

Anavar is another awesome strength enhancer. It boosts strength levels by triggering the synthesis of creatine phosphate in muscle cells. This is a good choice when your goal is to stay lean yet muscular while also getting as strong as possible.

Trenbolone

Trenbolone, or Tren, is one of the most versatile steroids in that it can be used equally for muscle gain, cutting and strength gains. Cycling Tren with Anavar and Testosterone will produce awesome strength gain results.

Trenbolone acetate

Trenbolone acetate is regarded by many experienced users as the most powerful anabolic steroid that you can take. It is also one of the most versatile steroids that you can take. It is classified as a veterinary grade anabolic androgenic steroid. Tren acetate can be extremely beneficial for both bulking and cutting.

Trenbolone is not estrogenic so it will not aromatize or cause water retention. However it can cause such side effects as acne, hair loss, gynecomastia and increased LDL cholesterol levels.

Trenbolone enanthate

Trenbolone enanthate is the base hormone with an enanathe ester attached to it. This is purely an underground back market steroid. This will affect the release of the hormone post injection. As a result, enanthate has a slower release than Trenbolone  acetate. This version of trenbolone carries several properties which make it a powerful anabolic agent. The primary functions of trenbolone enanthate are:

  • Enhanced protein synthesis
  • Enhanced nitrogen retention
  • Increased red blood cell cunt
  • Increased IGF-1 Output

Trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate

Trenbolone hexahydrobenzylcarbonate has the street name of Parabolan. It is commonly referred to as Tren Hex. The ester attached to this agent extends the half life from around 3 days to approximately 14 days. This is a versatile steroid which can be used for both bulking and cutting cycles. This is a potent steroid that can give very good results from relatively small dosages. Tren Hex is not aromatized into estrogen. As a result, Tren Hex will not lead to water retention or bloating. It is especially beneficial for those who are after lean mass and strength gains.

How To Gain Bulk Naturally

Use the following tips to help you bulk, and pack on muscle mass…

Drink whole milk

Drink more whole milk. Not skim milk. Not 2% milk. Whole milk. Whole milk has 150 calories per cup, and is stocked with vitamins and minerals. Drinking 5 cups of whole milk per day adds 750 calories to your bulking diet. Drink a cup every 2.5 to 3 hours. Also milk is 87% water, so it will keep your body hydrated. If you can get your hands on some unpasteurized organic raw milk – even better. The more natural the source, the better for the body.

Eat Your Almonds

Almonds are a great “in between meal” snack choice. Add an ounce of almonds in between breakfast and lunch, lunch and dinner, and before bed. These three servings of almonds will add 500 calories to your bulking diet.

Have a Fat Dinner

Eat a large meal for dinner. Generally, it is best to eat this large meal post-workout. Try and consume a minimum of 1,500 calories. Don’t shy away from calorie-rich, healthy fat-rich foods and dressings.

Eat Some Junk food

Don’t shy completely away from junk foods. While I am NOT recommending that you eat an entire bag of Doritos, or a half gallon of ice cream in one sitting, it is okay to have small portions of junk food each day. A diet that contains 10% unhealthy foods won’t kill you. in fact, the extra calories will aid you in gaining muscle.

Try Some Weight Gain Shakes

Have a weight gain shake once or twice a day, with your whole milk. Put a couple of cups of whole milk in a blender. Add a banana, 2 scoops of protein powder, and peanut butter to taste. Blend, and enjoy. Each of these shakes contains, at minimum, 700 calories.

Note: With some weight gainer brands, you’ll 100% need a blender as these drinks can often become ‘clumpy’. Also it’d be wise to wash up your shake ASAP after drinking, as they can quickly transform into concrete.

How Long to Bulk

There is no set answer to the question of how long you should bulk for. The length of your bulk will depend on how much muscle you want to put on. As a general guide you should aim to add half a pound of lean bodyweight each week. You can bulk for as long as six months. However, you should be careful about not putting on an excessive amount of body fat.

Extra Tips for Bulking

The key to bulking is what you put in your mouth. A lot of guys who try to bulk simple don’t eat enough food. As a general guide, you should eat around 20% more than your BMR every day. To work out your BMR, multiply your weight in kilograms by 24 if you are a guy and by 22 if you are a female. Now multiply that figure by an activity level of 1.6 to represent intense weight training.

As an example, if you weigh 90 kg and you are a guy, your BMR will be 3456 calories per day. Add 20% to this total to get a daily bulk caloric intake of 4147 calories per day.

Now divide this number by five to get 829 calories at every one of 5 meals spread very 2-3 hours apart throughout the day.

Basically..

By following these simple tips, you will be consuming over 4,000 calories per day. This is a great range to be in for bulking.

Start your day with oatmeal and a weight gain shake. Eat a moderately sized lunch, and a huge dinner. Snack in between meals with almonds, whole milk, and small portions of healthy carbs (fruits, veggies, etc.). And don’t avoid the occasional cookie, bag of chips, or piece of pie.

Follow this plan during your bulk, and you will be maximizing your results.

The Bottom Line to Gaining Bulk Is..

Each of the 5 bulking steroids mentioned in this article will result in significant muscle gains.

The best steroid for you, will depend on your own personal goals.

For example, the best compound for pure mass would be anadrol. But if you’re concerned about side effects, then dianabol or testosterone would be better options.

If you only want to gain as much strength and mass as possible and you don’t care about the side effects, anadrol and testosterone would be a powerful duo.

Equally, if you wanted to do a lean bulk and didn’t want to gain any water retention or fat from your cycle; trenbolone would be a suitable compound (possibly deca durabolin too).

For maximum bulking gains, you can take a few of these steroids at the same time in a stack. However stacking like this will also elicit more side effects.

What’s the best steroid for building muscle quickly?

Any compound (mentioned in this article) which contains short esters.
Short ester steroids enter and leave your body very fast, and thus it doesn’t take long to experience significant gains on them.
Examples of fast-acting steroids:
Anadrol
Dianabol
Test propionate
Test suspension
Tren acetate
If patience isn’t your strong point, stay away from deca durabolin, test cypionate and test enanthate which have longer esters (take longer to kick in).

Are there any steroids NOT mentioned in this article, which can be used to build muscle?

Yes. These are just the top 5 steroids for bulking.
Other steroids which can help to build muscle are:
Winstrol
Anavar
Equipoise
Masteron
Turinabol
Primobolan
Furazabol
However, the muscle-building potential of these steroids are relatively mild (excluding equipoise).
