Beginner Bulking
14 weeks totalSimple testosterone-only cycle for first-timers
400-500mg/week
Arimidex (AI)
0.25-0.5mg EOD as needed
Nolvadex (PCT)
40/40/20/20mg daily
Notes
Get bloodwork before starting and at week 6. Have PCT on hand before beginning.
🍎 Diet
Caloric surplus of 300-500 above TDEE. Aim for 1g protein per lb bodyweight. Prioritize whole foods — rice, chicken, eggs, oats.
🏋️ Training
Full body or Upper/Lower split 4x/week. Focus on compound lifts — squat, bench, deadlift, overhead press. Progressive overload each session.
🩸 Bloodwork
Baseline before cycle (testosterone, estradiol, CBC, lipids, liver enzymes). Mid-cycle at week 6. Post-PCT at week 4-6.
Shop compounds for this cycle:
Intermediate Bulking
16 weeks totalTest + NPP stack for experienced users
500mg/week
300-400mg/week
Arimidex (AI)
0.5mg EOD
Nolvadex (PCT)
40/40/20/20mg daily
Notes
NPP is a shorter ester — stop 2 weeks before test to clear before PCT.
🍎 Diet
Surplus of 300-500 calories. 1-1.2g protein per lb. Carb-heavy around training for performance. Don't neglect vegetables and fiber.
🏋️ Training
Push/Pull/Legs or Upper/Lower 5-6 days/week. Take advantage of enhanced recovery — increase volume gradually. Track all lifts.
🩸 Bloodwork
Baseline, mid-cycle week 7 (add prolactin panel due to NPP), and 4-6 weeks post-PCT.
Shop compounds for this cycle:
Advanced Bulking
18 weeks totalTest + NPP + Dbol kickstart for experienced users
600-750mg/week
400mg/week
Dianabol (kickstart)
30-40mg/day
TUDCA (liver support)
500mg/day
Arimidex (AI)
0.5mg EOD
Nolvadex (PCT)
40/40/20/20mg daily
Notes
Advanced cycle — requires prior experience. Dianabol kickstart provides rapid gains while long esters saturate. TUDCA mandatory during oral phase. Get bloodwork at weeks 6 and 12. Keep blood pressure under control.
🍎 Diet
Caloric surplus of 300-500 above TDEE. Aim for 1.2g protein per lb bodyweight. Focus on whole foods — rice, lean meats, eggs, oats. Drink 1 gallon water daily.
🏋️ Training
Push/Pull/Legs 6 days per week. Heavy compound movements with progressive overload. Take advantage of enhanced recovery.
🩸 Bloodwork
Baseline before cycle, week 6 mid-cycle (testosterone, estradiol, liver enzymes, CBC, lipids), and 4-6 weeks post-PCT.
Shop compounds for this cycle:
Lean Bulk - Test + Primo
16 weeks totalClean gains with minimal side effects for quality-focused users
400-500mg/week
Primobolan
400-600mg/week
Nolvadex (PCT)
40/40/20/20mg daily
Notes
Primo is one of the safest injectables. Low side effect profile but requires higher doses for results. No AI needed for most users since Primo has mild anti-estrogenic effects.
🍎 Diet
Moderate surplus of 200-300 calories. High protein (1g/lb). Clean carb sources. Minimize processed foods for lean gains.
🏋️ Training
Upper/Lower or PPL split. Focus on progressive overload with controlled eccentrics. 4-5 sessions per week.
🩸 Bloodwork
Baseline, week 8, and post-PCT. Monitor RBC count as Primo can increase hematocrit.
