Because of different goals bodybuilders generally follow different guidelines than other athletes when it comes to cycling. Bodybuilders use steroids for two main reasons; to promote dramatic increases in muscle mass and to decrease their bodyfat percentages. The other benefits of steroids such as endurance, stamina, and strength, are secondary and while important for training purposes, play little role on a bodybuilding stage.

d use with periods of nonuse. We say most as many bodybuilders competing at the national and professional levels seldom come off the drugs. For most of these individuals an “off” phase doesn’t mean not using steroids; it just means lower amounts. There is rarely a point during the year when these bodybuilders let the drugs clear completely out of their systems. It’s high dosages followed by low to moderate dosages indefinitely.

Why Cycle?

The main reason why bodybuilders cycle steroids is to try and reduce the risk of developing serious side effects. As with most drugs it’s well known that the risk of developing side effects greatly increases with the length of time the person is on steroids. A short, 6 to 8 week cycle will probably not produce any serious side effects, but as we saw earlier, most bodybuilders don’t limit themselves to such short durations. They stay
