why are steroids stacked?

sitries · 14-09-2005, 08:58 PM

Why dont more people just do single steroid cycles? whilst doing some research in the uni library i read that steroids dont need to be stacked, but over time bodybuilders have just evolved to stacking as a way of simply taking more gear. Appaerntly 1nce people have done a few single steroids cycles the feel that their receptors are not reacting to he single compouns anymore and therefore add more steroids to the cycle - 'stack'. Also te book said that the dosages of steroids have gone up over time, botha t competative and amateur level. it says that the steroids would work just aswell at lower dosages, but people just go overboard and up the amounts. This in turn just makes the body more used to the compounds and the steroids are less effective.

Has any1 come across this kind of info before? why dont people just used say test enan on its own for example, or sus etc etc rather than satckingsay sus and deca??

because different steroids have different properties, some are good for strength, some good for building muscle, if you stack steroids correctly the effect is synergistic.

so say a coarse of sus, deca and dbal kick start. what are the properties of each of these?

dbol kicks in very fast, you get the effects after a few days hence it is used to kickstart a cyle before the other gear kicks in,

testosterone being the male hormone is both androgenic and anbolic, it should be the base of any good cycle where nautural test will be shut down.

deca is very anabolic but it shuts you down hard, if used with out testosterone you could find yourself very tired and with no libido

all true...as far as dosages, there can be a point of diminishing returns with dosages and there also is a dangerously high range...ex: prop is usually run 75-100 ed or 150 eod...increasing that to 150-200 ed probablly wont get you any more results..so instead of jus upping dosages, add another compound to get your desired results...
