Description
This Blast and Cruise protocol is designed for athletes who have some experience with anabolic steroids and are looking to transition to a more continuous use approach. If you are new to Blast and Cruise, this protocol may be suitable for you. Unlike traditional cycles, Blast and Cruise involves alternating between higher doses of anabolic steroids (the blast phase) and lower doses (the cruise phase) without completely stopping steroid use. This approach aims to maintain stable testosterone levels, reduce the need for Post Cycle Therapy (PCT), and allow for consistent muscle gains and maintenance over a longer period.
In this Blast and Cruise protocol, we will use two primary anabolic steroids: Testosterone and Dihydroboldos (Dihydroboldenone Cypionate). Testosterone serves as the foundation of any anabolic regimen, being the primary male hormone responsible for libido, emotional well-being, motivation, and providing the necessary drive for workouts. Additionally, Testosterone is crucial for muscle mass and strength gains.
Dihydroboldos , also known as Dihydroboldenone Cypionate, offers unique benefits due to its strong anabolic properties. Derived from boldenone, it has a higher anabolic to androgenic ratio, which means it can promote significant muscle growth while minimizing androgenic side effects. Dihydroboldos enhances protein synthesis and nitrogen retention in muscles, supporting substantial muscle growth. Unlike some other anabolic steroids, it does not convert to estrogen, reducing the risk of issues like water retention and gynecomastia. This leads to leaner, more defined muscle gains.
During the blast phase, higher doses of Testosterone and Dihydroboldos will be used to maximize muscle growth and strength. The synergy between testosterone and Dihydroboldos during this phase provides significant muscle mass gains, while also improving muscle texture and density. In the cruise phase, the dosage of Testosterone will be reduced to a maintenance level to preserve the gains achieved during the blast phase and maintain stable hormone levels.
By strategically alternating between these phases, the Blast and Cruise approach helps maintain muscle quality, prevent muscle loss, and support long-term physical fitness goals. The combined effect of Testosterone and Dihydroboldos offers athletes unique opportunities for sustained and enhanced muscle development while minimizing the typical downsides of traditional anabolic steroid cycles.
Advantages of the Blast and Cruise Protocol
-
Continuous Muscle Gains: By avoiding the complete cessation of anabolic steroid use, athletes can experience more consistent and sustained muscle growth.
-
Stable Hormone Levels: The cruise phase maintains stable testosterone levels, reducing hormonal fluctuations and associated side effects.
-
Improved Muscle Quality: The combination of Testosterone and Dihydroboldos promotes not only muscle growth but also enhances muscle density and texture, leading to a more defined physique.
-
Better Retention of Gains: The cruise phase helps preserve the muscle gains achieved during the blast phase, minimizing muscle loss.
-
Greater Control Over Body Composition: Athletes can strategically manage muscle gain and fat loss by adjusting doses during the blast and cruise phases.
-
Enhanced Workout Performance: Stable testosterone levels provide consistent energy, motivation, and drive for workouts.
-
Sustained Athletic Performance: This approach supports long-term physical fitness goals by allowing athletes to stay in optimal shape year-round.
Disadvantages of the Blast and Cruise Protocol
-
Permanent Suppression of Natural Testosterone Production: Continuous use of steroids can lead to the body never fully recovering its natural testosterone production, making users dependent on external testosterone.
-
Potential Long-Term Health Risks: Chronic steroid use, even at lower cruise doses, can pose risks to cardiovascular health, liver function, and other organ systems.
-
Difficulty in Ceasing Steroid Use: If an athlete decides to stop using steroids, it may be challenging to restore normal hormone levels, requiring extensive PCT and potentially causing prolonged periods of low testosterone.
-
Not Suitable for Everyone: This protocol is not recommended for young or inexperienced athletes, or those not committed to a long-term lifestyle involving steroid use. It is more appropriate for professional athletes, those earning income from their physique, or older individuals with conditions like hypogonadism.
-
Psychological Dependence: Continuous use of steroids might lead to psychological dependence, making it difficult for athletes to consider training without them.
Why 12 Weeks
A 12-week cycle is considered optimal for most individuals. This duration strikes a balance between shorter, safer but less effective 6-week cycles and longer 16-24 week cycles. Unlike short 6-week cycles, a medium-length cycle is more effective due to the prolonged impact of anabolic steroids on muscles. Protein synthesis and muscle growth are gradual processes, requiring sufficient time for significant gains.
A 12-week cycle can be chosen by athletes of any age and training experience. It provides ample time to make noticeable changes to your body, gaining an additional 5-6 kg of muscle mass while simultaneously burning 3-4 kg of subcutaneous fat with proper training and nutrition. This cycle can significantly transform your appearance if you adhere to all the instructions and dosages mentioned in the description and use all the supplementary drugs listed here.
The cycle demands discipline, including periodic blood tests to monitor hormone levels and make timely adjustments. Adhering to all cycle conditions ensures significant and worthwhile results for the money and time invested. Following all instructions and recommendations helps make the cycle effective and maximally safe. Properly conducted PCT is equally crucial to preserving the results achieved during the cycle.
How to use
Anabolic steroids are administered intramuscularly using syringes. Needles G21 or G23 are most commonly used. We recommend injecting into the glutes, following all the rules for intramuscular injections. You can mix Nandrolone Decanoate and testosterone in one syringe and administer one injection per week, or divide the injections into 2, for example, on Monday and Thursday or on other days.
The dosage of aromatase inhibitors is determined individually, depending on your estradiol level. We recommend starting with dosages of 0.5 mg (1 tablet) 3 times a week and after 14 days to do blood tests for estradiol to adjust the dosage for you.
The drug is used with small insulin syringes. You can use both intramuscular injections and subcutaneous injections, while using a fold on the abdomen. Injections made in this way are painless and very simple, so they should not frighten those who have not used injections before. We recommend using 1000 IU per week. This dosage is average and suitable for most people.
In order to prepare a solution for injection, you take a syringe already containing a diluent and inject it into a vial containing a lyophilized powder. Tilt the vial so that the needle touches the vial wall. Avoiding injecting the diluent directly into the lyophilized powder. The solvent should slowly flow down the wall of the bottle (do not fill everything at once and take your time). Once all the diluent has been added to the peptide vial, mix gently (but do not agitate or shake the vial) until the lyophilized powder has dissolved and you are left with a clear liquid. Now the drug is ready for use.Store it at refrigerator.
Cycle products description
In bodybuilding, it is the most popular steroid for gaining muscle mass. The main advantage of Testosterone enanthate is a pronounced increase in both muscle mass and strength (which is highly appreciated by weightlifters and powerlifters), as well as a noticeable pump during workouts. Along with its anabolic effects, the drug has a pronounced androgenic effect, significantly increasing libido, improving erection, and positively affecting psychoemotional state, motivation, and drive during training.
The rapid weight gain is associated with significant water retention due to sodium retention and estrogenic action, but with the help of aromatase inhibitors, fluid retention will be significantly reduced.
Testosterone enanthate often helps alleviate joint problems for those complaining of pain and crunching in the shoulders, and for those whose intervertebral discs show the first signs of wear.
Testosterone enanthate stimulates regenerative processes in the body, increases overall tone and desire to train, and prevents overtraining. It increases blood volume and red blood cell count, which enhances the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
A major issue with using Testosterone enanthate in bodybuilding is its strong aromatization ability, i.e., conversion into estrogens (estradiol). As a result, gynecomastia, edema, fat deposition in a female pattern, and other side effects often develop. Therefore, aromatase inhibitors are used to control estradiol-induced side effects. Testosterone also has a fat-burning effect, and if you use Arimidyn, which reduces the impact of estradiol on fat tissue increase, this effect will be more pronounced.
Dihydroboldos, also known as Dihydroboldenone Cypionate or 1-Testosterone, is a potent anabolic steroid that has gained popularity among bodybuilders and athletes for its ability to promote substantial muscle growth and strength gains without the common issue of excessive water retention. This compound is a cypionate ester of dihydroboldenone, which ensures a prolonged and steady release of the active substance into the bloodstream, making it effective for extended cycle durations. The cypionate ester group provides a longer half-life, which reduces the frequency of injections, making it more convenient for users.
Originally derived from Boldenone (often known by its trade name Equipoise), Dihydroboldos shares some structural similarities with another popular steroid, Primobolan (Methenolone). However, unlike Primobolan, the additional 1-methyl group that is used to enhance oral bioavailability. This means that Dihydroboldos is administered via injection, which not only improves its anabolic efficiency but also avoids the liver toxicity associated with oral steroids. This makes it a safer choice for those concerned about the hepatic strain caused by oral anabolic agents.
Dihydroboldos is characterized by its strong anabolic properties paired with moderate androgenic activity. In animal studies, it has been shown to be approximately twice as anabolic as Testosterone Propionate, while maintaining a similar level of androgenicity. This high anabolic-to-androgenic ratio, approximately 2:1, means that Dihydroboldos is highly effective for building muscle mass without causing the severe androgenic side effects that are often associated with more potent steroids. This makes it a popular choice for those seeking to enhance muscle size and strength without the risk of developing pronounced androgenic effects such as hair loss or acne.
Main Effects of Dihydroboldos
● Significant Muscle Gains: Dihydroboldos is highly effective for building lean muscle mass. It enhances nitrogen retention and protein synthesis, leading to substantial muscle growth. The gains are typically "dry," meaning they come with minimal water retention, making muscles look more defined and dense.
● Improved Strength and Endurance: This compound is known to boost strength and endurance significantly. Athletes using Dihydroboldos can expect to see notable improvements in their performance, allowing for more intense and effective training sessions.
● Non-Estrogenic: One of the key benefits of Dihydroboldos is its lack of estrogenic side effects. It does not convert to estrogen, which eliminates the risk of gynecomastia, fat accumulation, and water retention that are common with other steroids. This makes it a preferred choice for those who are sensitive to estrogenic effects.
● Minimal Water Retention: Unlike many anabolic steroids, Dihydroboldos does not cause significant water retention, resulting in more defined and aesthetic muscle gains. This makes it particularly beneficial for athletes looking to achieve a lean, sculpted physique.
● Enhanced Fat Loss: Dihydroboldos can aid in fat loss by enhancing metabolic activity. It has a moderate fat-burning effect, which helps reduce body fat while preserving muscle mass. This makes it useful during cutting phases when athletes aim to get lean without losing muscle.
However, it is worth noting some disadvantages
● Possible Side Effects: Like all anabolic steroids, Dihydroboldos can cause side effects. These may include oily skin, acne, and increased growth of body and facial hair. There is also a potential risk for male pattern baldness, particularly in those genetically predisposed to it. Users may experience mood swings, irritability, headaches, and mild increases in blood pressure. Although Dihydroboldos is less androgenic, these side effects can still occur and should be closely monitored.
● Potential for Cardiovascular Impact: Dihydroboldos can affect cholesterol levels, leading to a reduction in HDL (good) cholesterol and an increase in LDL (bad) cholesterol. This shift can elevate the risk of arteriosclerosis and other cardiovascular issues. It is important to monitor cholesterol levels regularly and maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular cardiovascular exercise, to mitigate these risks.
● Injection Site Reactions: Using Dihydroboldos in injectable form carries the risk of irritation, pain, or swelling at the injection site. Proper injection techniques, as well as maintaining strict hygiene standards, are crucial to minimizing these risks. Occasionally, users may also experience skin redness and irritation at the site of injection.
● Suppression of Natural Testosterone Production: Dihydroboldos can suppress the body's natural testosterone production, leading to low testosterone levels after the cycle. This suppression makes a proper Post Cycle Therapy (PCT) essential to help restore hormonal balance and preserve muscle gains. Without adequate PCT, users may suffer from symptoms like fatigue, decreased libido, and potential muscle loss.
● Mild Liver Toxicity: Although Dihydroboldos is not as hepatotoxic as many oral steroids, there is still a potential for mild liver toxicity, especially with prolonged use or high dosages. Regular liver function tests and the use of liver support supplements are recommended to protect liver health.
So let’s start with the fact that testosterone (and it will always be in your cycle) tends to turn into the female sex hormone- estradiol. An increase in the level of this hormone provokes many side effects, such as: gynomastia, fluid retention, mood swings and libido.
This is something we can see and feel right away, but there is a whole range of other side effects that we learn only when it’s too late. Very often, beginners think that if they do not have external sings of gynecomastia, then they cannot resort to the use of aromatase inhibitors, but this is not so.
First of all, estradiol is a hormone that greatly increases fat storage and this can be the reason that completely reduces the effectiveness of your diet. There is also suggestion that elevated estradiol for a long time can negatively affect the functioning of your cardiovascular system.
But the good news is that you can avoid all these problems if you use aromatase inhibitors (for example Arimidyn) in your cycle, which prevent testosterone from converting to estradiol. The dosages of these drugs are always selected individually depending on the level of your estradiol, which in turn will depend on the dosages of testosterone and your individual characteristics.
Our recommendation is to keep it in the middle of normal ranges, neither lower nor higher. These are the optimal values in order to get the maximum profit from your cycle. You will not have: excess fluid retention that spoils your appearance, high blood pressure (all due to the same fluid), accumulation of excess fat, decreased libido and any other negative effects.
It is also worth noting that it is unnecessary to reduce estradiol too low, then you risk getting the opposite effect and side effects of a different nature, in the form of a deterioration in cholesterol values, a decrease in bone mass density, a decrease in anabolism as well as a drop in libido, because low level of estradiol has the same negative effect on sexual desire as excessively high.
Why any drug such as HCG should be included in each of your cycles longer than 6 weeks. There are several reasons for this.
Reason one
Let's start with the fact that as you know, while taking anabolic steroids, our body turns off the production of its own testosterone completely.
After your cycle, you must restore it with PCT. So, when using HCG during your cycle, it helps to restore your testosterone mush faster, which means that with a normal testosterone level, you will be able to a better maintain the gained result, and also not fall into the “emotional hole” that often happens at a low-level testosterone.
It works in such a way that HCG is a hormone that even during a cycle of steroids instructs your testicles to produce their own testosterone. Although your hypothalamus and pituitary gland will not be involved in this process, your testicles will work in their natural mode or close to it, without decreasing in size. That is, your testicles by the time of PCT will be ready to increase testosterone without delay.
Reason two
There is also another reason why HCG should be used, especially during the long cycles. The fact is that anabolic steroids not only ‘turn off’ the production of their own testosterone, but also in the same way affect the cessation of the production of steroid hormones by the adrenal glands.
This process produces hormones such as pregnenolone, progesterone, aldosterone, DHEA, and others. In this chain, each of these hormones has its own important effect on the body and when you interrupt the production of testosterone during your cycle, the process of producing these hormones is also disrupted.
As a result, your body is left without a number of reactions it needs. Using HCG – you save the entire chain of prohormones synthesis of steroid genesis. What is important is that some of the hormones that are created in this cascade of reactions are neurosteroids which have a positive effect on your mood, behavior, and libido. Below we will talk very superficially about the beneficial properties of some hormones in this chain.
● Progesterone reduces the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia and tumor processes, takes part in the functioning of the nervous system, helps to maintain normal levels of female sex hormones, strengthens bone tissue, normalizes thyroid function, and has a number of other important properties.
● Pregnenolone is important for brain function, and with it’s lack memory and mental abilities suffer.
● DHEA - the action of this hormone is not fully understood, but there is an evidence that indicates its widespread influence in the body. DHEA is useful for the cardiovascular system, helps with obesity, with various diseases of the central nervous system, with osteoporosis, weakening of the immune system.
In order to prevent testicular atrophy, as well as to resume the steroidogenesis of your adrenal glands, it is necessary to take HCG during the entire cycle. We recommend using 1000 IU per week. This dosage is average and suitable for most people.
There is a misconception that HCG should be taken during PCT. This is not true because the stimulation of your testicles themselves by imitation the action of hormones such as LH and FSH.
The actual triggering process for HPTA must begin in your pituitary gland and will be accelerated by drugs such as clomiphene and tamoxifen. HCG should be used during the cycle to keep your testicles from atrophying so that by the time of PCT they can quickly respond to pituitary stimulation with testosterone production. If this is not done, then you will have to wait a very long time until this mechanism starts itself after many months of “vacation”.
