Nandrolone is a synthetic anabolic steroid that is widely used by athletes to enhance muscle growth and boost performance. Nandrolone also enhances production of red blood cells and appetite, according to a study published in the journal Androgen Physiology, Pharmacology and Abuse. For new nandrolone users, the main challenge is mastering the steroid-cycling angle. Below is some more information on nandrolone cycles.
An Overview of Nandrolone Cycle
Cycling refers to the duration of which an individual uses a steroid before breaking off for a given period. Although end user goals play a role in determining the length of a single cycle, most last anywhere from four to 16 weeks. Combining nandrolone with other steroids also influences cycling periods.
Beginner Cycle
For starters, complete novices should limit steroid usage to one or two products to avoid developing or experiencing health complications. With this in mind, this cycle should last an average of 12 weeks. While this may seem unnecessarily long for a beginner, it is necessary to ensure the body acclimatizes well to nandrolone. It is wise to consult your physician or a trained physical fitness instructor if you have pre-existing health conditions. If you experience adverse side effects, you should stop taking nandrolone and seek medical help immediately.
If your intention is to bulk up, aim for a cycle period lasting 10 to 12 weeks. At this point, take note you can stack up nandrolone with other steroids that suit your physical fitness or athletic performance goals. Remember to evaluate the composition of the performance enhancers you are using to avoid negative side effects.
Sculpting Cycle
This cycle is quite different from bulking cycle because it focuses on enhancing the athletic performance or the physical appearance of muscle groups rather than just building muscles. For this reason, the average sculpting cycle should last anywhere from 14 to 16 weeks. This gives one ample time to work out in the gym and sculpt muscles until they assume the desired shape and look. During this cycle, nandrolone can be stacked with HGH (human growth hormone) based steroids.
Maintenance Cycle
Unlike the cycles discussed above, the aim of this cycle is to maintain the status quo — neither add nor lose muscles or athletic competitiveness. Such a cycle can last anywhere from 7 to 10, and it ensures that athletes maintain a certain level of athletic competitiveness during offseason months.
Conclusion
Nandrolone cycles vary depending on the type of cycle and a steroid user’s end goals. On average, these cycles last anywhere from seven weeks to 16 weeks.
