Good Idea, Bad Idea: Compounds for Pulsing

To pulse or not to pulse...that is the question. The answer tends to be very dependant on the steroid you are intending to pulse.


Bad Idea: A bad choice is typically any steroid that will cause HTPA suppression too quickly. These puppies will cause shutdown very quickly, and there is a good chance your off days will be spent in attempt to recover androgen levels.

Base Injection: Base injection refers to injecting a steroid without an ester attached to it such as Test Base or Tren Base.

Transdermal Steroids: Believe it or not, transdermals will likely shut you down the hardest out of all of these. Reason being that with an injection or oral steroid, you create a 'spike' in hormone levels. Once the serum levels peak, your body can start to recover. When using a transdermal base, there is no peak: serum levels hit a point and stay fairly constant for a prolonged period of time. This allots less time to recover and more time to continue shutting you down.

Methyltest: Very liver toxic. HTPA suppression comes very quickly with this as well.

Metribolone (Methyltren): This is the most toxic steroid in the history of steroids. This stuff makes M1T look like a can of 'alcohol-free' beer. Not only will it cause fast suppression, but liver toxicity will not be hindered enough to make it safe.

M1T (Methyl-1-Test)*:This will cause shutdown too quickly to be used for a pulsed cycle; however, it could be effectively pulsed to 'kick start' an injectable cycle if you want to use the anabolic effects of M1T and lessen the liver toxicity to a small degree.


Good Idea

Epistane: This is probably the best one to pulse (in thesinner's opinion). Reason being that it blocks ER's and aromatase in addition to it's anabolic effect. This causes your body to "think" you don't have any estrogen, and so it will create more endogeneous androgens (i.e. natural testosterone) in order to make up for this false deficit.

Methyl-4-Hydroxy-Nandrolone (M4OHN): This seems to be one of Dr. D's favorites. This is great because it's very mild, causes very little suppression, and very clean. Don't let the methyl confuse you, this is very light on liver values.

Dianabol (Methandrostenolone): This was the steroid from which the pulsing concept was born. Effective enough to give an anabolic effect without causing too much shutdown. It's ability to block glucurcortoid receptors helps against suppression.

Superdrol*: This is a great choice because it's effective enough to cause for gains, mild enough not to shut you down too hard, and dirty enough that pulsing will help minimize sides.
An important thing to note is what you are using. Not all superdrol clones were created equally. This compound is commonly synthesized from Oxymetholone, which is a nasty nasty little fella. It may not be wise to just get the cheapest clone you can find on this guy. Anabolic Xtreme's Superdrol and Genetic S.D have both been validated by Dr. D as being 'good' makes of the compound.


Tweener's: A tweener is a compound that has gotten a lot of mixed reviews or results are not immediate enough to cause noticeable gains from pulsing. They are not going to be as effective as the listed "Good Idea" compounds, but some users may benefit from it:
-Halodrol-50
-Pheraplex
-Promagnon-25
-Propadrol
-Methoxy-TST
-Methoxy-TRN
-M 1,4 ADD

NWTE's (Not Worth The Effort's): An NWTE is a compound that is very mild and rarely ever run standalone.*
-Prostanozol/Orastan-E
-Furazadrol/Orastan-A
-1,4 AD

EXCELLENT
Do you have any opinion about fast action s-drol as a clone?

Can't really say. Genetic SD was validated for purity/quality by Dr. D. The problem with a lot of these clones is that the companies producing them don't always have the same quality standards as Anabolic Xtreme.

How about ProMagnon-25. Good idea or no?

eh, it's a tough call with promag. Some guys liked it, some didn't notice much from it. It's a funny compound, converts into "methyl-clostebol".


The "Good Idea" compounds I have listed are ones that are sure-fire strong enough to cause results. Epi, Super, and Dbol are all VERY strong so pulsing will still yield great gains. M4OHN isn't gonna cause gains, but is very effective, especially for cutting or stacking.


I'll update my list with "tweeners" and "don't waste your time and money" ideas.

Talking about something strong...any opinion of ids mass tabs?
I would really like to know what this is , and is half life in the body!

.....or if it meets label claims

lol kinda funny u added metribolone to the list for the people who do kno what it is they really have no way of getting it

Yeah. No pharm companies manufacture it because it is so deadly. I think underground companies make it though.

There's a few UG's that sell it (or at least say that's what it is).

ding ding ding!

i only ever heard of one person using it in the new edition of Anabolics and even has it in CME i believe... the gains where crazy over 6 weeks i think like 20-25lbs using like 1mg or something but his blood work afterwards so so out of wack it was scary. cholesterol was so messed up and liver values were off the charts

My buddy ran the Fast Action S-Drol and gained 10lbs.. I would say it in fact is one clone that is worth a shiz...

thanks very helpfull

Would it be possible to run Epi alongside Propadrol in a pulse? Or since both are considered "dry" compounds, the Propadrol might be better reserved for something a little wetter such as M1, 4ADD or Phera Plex? Thanks.

Wasn't under the impression that propadrol was dry. But then again, there's so many different factors that go into a "wet" compound that it's very subjective to different users.

Propadrol + Epi sounds like it might be fun.

I would do 10mg preworkout and 10mg later on in the day.

Do this Monday, Wednesday, & Friday with 3 days per week training protocol (like HST or a 3 day split)

And what do you think is better and safer:
propadrol pulsed 30+30(m,w,f) or
propadol everyday 30+10(ana pro blend)
for a 3 week cycle

I would guess that depends on what (if anything)l you have set for when you're finished.

I personally prefer to run as a cycle, and was under the impression that Pusling is best used to avoid PCT or harsh side effects (i.e. cholesterol, heptatoxicity, etc.).

What's ana pro blend? I must be getting out of the loop, I'm not familiar with that one.
