How To Workout During Your First Steroid Cycle

Read on for a beginners guide on how to workout during your steroid cycle.

Sure, anabolic steroids do stir up your muscle development but this doesn’t mean you should be a slacker when it comes to working out. The truth is, you should be working twice as hard when taking them! Anabolic steroids can rapidly repair your muscles and add a significant amount of strength to your body. This is why highly intensive workouts are ideal for maximising the results of anabolic steroids. Below are some pointers to remember for your training program.

Type of training: Hypertrophy (shorter rest periods between sets, 3 to 4 sets per exercise 5 to 6 different exercises per muscle group)

Duration: 60 to 90 minutes

5 to 6 day training program 1 or 2 muscle groups per session.

Rep range between 8 and 15

Pyramid sets up and down

Don’t be afraid to throw in super sets and drop sets to help increase intensity and shock the muscle.
