Thread: Myostatin and first cycle.

The Test increments look SOLID!

To get over the 8 week hump some attribute to myostatin increase I add an oral at weeks 8-12 or so. Does not directly address myostatin but usually the 17 alpha alkylates act at least partially through glucocorticoid modulation so the mechanism is a little different than most injectable beta esters so by adding an 17aa you are taking advantage of anti-catabolism and thus adding another mechanism to further your progress.

I am about to go on a 10 week test Cyp cycle, with a 4 week Dbol kicker, and I would like to keep the gains going the entire 10 weeks.

I was originally going to follow the simple 10w @ 2x250mg p/w, but after reading that article, should I change it up to something more like:

Weeks:
1-3 @ 400mg
4-6 @ 450mg
7-8 @ 550mg
9 @ 650mg
10@ 700mg

Or am I overthinking it?

Thanks fellas.

You can run a flat dose for 6 weeks and then add 250mg more in week 7.

Sorry if I am being obtuse Heavy. I have 5000mg total, which is why I was going with 250mg x 2/w.

That said, what would you advise in regards to dosages to avoid the myostatin issue?

Weeks 1-6 you may use any dose you like. I personally would use 500mg weekly but if you don't have enough then you will need to go lower. Around week 8 is when gains stall so you need to increase dose about week 7.

Another strategy that works well is adding the oral at week 7 instead of increasing the T dose.

Week 1-10 500mg T per week
Week 7-10 25mg D-bol daily

This should keep gains rolling. If you have extra D-bol then run it longer than the T while the ester is clearing. With Cyp I would run the D-bol 14 days longer.
