Steroid Stacking
For the performance enhancing athlete, steroid stacking is an important aspect of the total process. There are literally hundreds of different Anabolic androgenic steroids, and we do not haphazardly grab a handful, chuck them down our throat or inject them into our body. That's usually how they're portrayed, but that's as realistic as grabbing a head of lettuce and waiting for it to turn into a radio. So what is steroid stacking? steroid stacking simply refers to how we combine various anabolics together to use and steroid with during a particular Anabolic steroid cycle. As there are hundreds of anabolics, as you might imagine there is almost an infinite number of stacking examples. This can make the cycling and stacking process very confusing, but it's not as complicated as you might think if you simply have a general understanding of the hormones you're using.
In any case, proper steroid stacking can make an enormous difference in the overall success of your cycle. You'll find certain steroids are better served for bulking, others better served for cutting and in some cases certain steroids that are so versatile in nature they're perfect for any cycle. You'll also find certain anabolics stack better with others, and in-order to maximize gains and progress you need to have an understanding of how to mix and match. We've broken down all the categories and concerns in-order to provide you with the necessary means for planning solid stacks with success, and if you can follow these simple principles that's exactly what you'll be left with; success.
Steroid Stacking – The Foundation:
When we steroid with Anabolic androgenic steroids our natural testosterone production will be suppressed; regardless of how genetically gifted we may be, regardless of how incredible you may believe you are this suppression will occur. How great the suppression is can vary tremendously from steroid to steroid; nevertheless it will still occur. For example, anabolics such as Anavar and Primobolan suppress mildly, whereas anabolics such as Deca-Durabolin and Trenbolone suppress dramatically. Even the Anabolic steroid testosterone itself will significantly suppress natural testosterone production.
Testosterone is an essential hormone to the body; in-fact, as the primary androgen it is one of the most important hormones we ever produce and is essential to a well-functioning body. When our testosterone levels become too low, we can suffer in numerous ways that revolve around the physical and mental sense, as well as our direct sexual function. Due to these facts, if you are steroiding with anabolics remedy must be applied and the only solution that makes sense is testosterone; after all, it is the hormone you will now be lacking in. Of course if you're steroiding with anabolics in the first place, even if you're not steroiding with testosterone, the physical problems surrounding tissue loss will not be a concern, but the other adverse effects can be so great remedy is still warranted.
Due to the suppressive nature of anabolics, almost all steroid stacking protocol will include exogenous testosterone. It does not matter which form of testosterone you choose as the active testosterone hormone is the same within each form. All that matters is that you are providing your body with adequate amounts of this primary androgen in-order to allow a proper functioning body. Further, as the testosterone hormone is also one of the most well-tolerated anabolics of all, one that is extremely versatile and provides almost all the traits most any performance enhancer will ever be after, it just makes sense to stack testosterone.
Oral steroid Stacking:
Oral steroid stacking is very popular among performance enhancers as oral steroids are extremely powerful and in most cases rapidly so. Further, because they're of an oral nature their ease of use is often very welcomed. While oral steroid stacking can be very useful, there are things you need to understand before you implement their use into your steroid stacking plan.

While oral steroid stacking can be very useful, there are things you need to understand before you implement their use into your steroid stacking plan.
Most steroid stacking plans that include C17-aa steroids will find they are best suited to include oral use of only one oral steroid at a time, and generally in 4-6 week bursts. We can make slight exceptions at times, most notably during bodybuilding contest prep steroid stacking plans at the very end of a contest prep cycle. In any case, regardless of purpose of use you will find sticking with one oral steroid at a time to be best, steroiding with reasonable doses and avoiding anything else that might cause stress to the liver. Avoiding regular alcohol consumption is highly advised as alcohol consumption of this nature is more toxic to the liver than any Anabolic steroid. Further, avoiding as many over the counter medications as possible is recommended as many over the counter medications are far more toxic to the liver than many anabolics.
Cutting & Bulking:
For the majority of performance enhancers, when planning a stack the primary concern will be cutting or bulking. As one or the other is generally the primary concern, we need to be aware that certain steroids better serve each purpose. The vast majority of steroids will carry a primary role that is applicable to one purpose or another, yet at the same time many will exhibit strong secondary traits that are welcomed in either case. Of course, as mentioned early on some anabolics will be so versatile their primary roles are perfect for both and of course there will be those that are for all intense purposes greatly effective for one cycle and generally worthless to another. To plan your steroid stacking we have provided you with a list of the 22 most commonly used anabolics of all, with a brief note on how to implement this particular steroid into an effective steroid stacking plan.

Steroid Stacking Samples:
Most all steroid stacking plans will include testosterone, and if they contain an oral steroid they will in most cases only contain one at a time. This does not mean we will only steroid with one oral steroid for the entire cycle; it simply means we will only steroid with one at a time. For your convenience, although there are an infinite amount of options we have provided you some solid steroid stacking examples complete with dosing and time frame of use. By no means are these stacks set in stone, doses can be altered to meet your needs, but we have provided you a foundational basis in-order to provide you with the info you need.
