Anabolic+Steroid+Cycles

**__ Anabolic Steroid Cycles __**
 * __﻿ __**
 * An anabolic steroid cycle is a specicfic pattern of use followed by steroid users
 * One of the main goals of using specified anabolic cycles is to minimize side effects, which is acheived though taking the drug in set intervals
 * Users also take anabolic steroids in cycles in order to acheive faster results
 * Common forms of cycling include stacking, pyramiding and cycling

**__ Cycling: __**

Cycling occurs when the user uses multiple doses of a specific drug over a set period of time. The use of this drug is then stopped for a set amount of time and then the same dosing schedule is resumed once again.

**__ Stacking: __**

Stacking is similar to cycling, however the user uses two or more different anabolic steroids, which often includes combining oral and injectable types. Some users even use compounds that are meant strictly for veterinary use. Users utilize this method of cycling because they feel that by using two or more steroids rather than just one, they will achieve a more dramatic effect, however this has not been scientifically proven.

**__ Pyramiding: __**

With this type of cycle, the user begins with a low dose and slowly increases the dosage over time by increasing the number of doses taken and the frequency of the dose or by using multiple doses until a plateau is reached, usually midway through the cycle. At this point, the dosage is continually decreased until the user has stopped using the drugs completely. Users typically pyramid doses in cycles of 6-12 weeks.

As most anabolic steroid users are aware of the dangers of such use, they usually prefer to space out their cycles in order to minimize negative health effects.
