Top 5 oral steroids used by bodybuilders for bulking and weight loss cycles

The bodybuilding world is full of anecdotal claims about the best results in muscle building and weight loss through the use of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) by bodybuilders of all levels.

However, we have discovered through experience that the use of androgenic-anabolic steroids (AAS) for cutting or growth is only effective depending on your training, diet, and recovery capacity.

Genetics also plays a major role in determining the expected results of AAS use, and the same argument can be made for the age and sex of the steroid user.

Furthermore, the use of genuine steroids is something that often goes unnoticed, but deserves to be mentioned, because inferior, adulterated, or outright fake AAS would not only derail the desired results, but could be a source of concern for your health and general well-being.

That being said, in this post we present our top 5 oral steroids used by bodybuilders for bulking and cutting cycles.

We selected these steroids based on time-tested results as well as anecdotal claims from verified bodybuilders and valued UPsteroid customers.

 

#1. Perform an oxymetholone (Anadrol) cycle to gain muscle mass

The’Anadrol is a powerful AAS administered orally for anyone looking to quickly gain muscle mass while eating healthily and dedicating time and effort to the gym.

As a derivative of dihydrotestosterone or DHT, oxymetholone does not aromatize into estrogen when taken.
However, Anadrol is converted into progesterone, a hormone that can also stimulate the growth of male breast tissue, or gynecomastia. Therefore, it is important to take preventative measures, such as using a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), like tamoxifen (Nolvadex) or clomiphene (Clomid), when using Anadrol.

Expect lean muscle mass gain and weight gain while taking Anadrol, although most of this weight gain is primarily due to water retention.

Many of our customers report gaining up to 30 pounds (lb) while taking Anadrol. Oxymetholone also helps users gain strength, which is very beneficial if you're following a bodybuilding or other fitness program.

But beware, Anadrol is known to be hepatotoxic in nature and the use of this oral steroid can actually increase alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels to negatively affect your liver function.

However, to mitigate liver damage, we recommend including liver-protective supplements such as Samarin, LIV-52, or tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) in your Anadrol cycle. To further reduce the risk of liver injury, you should also avoid stacking Anadrol with other potent oral steroids.

Finally, you can use Anadrol as part of a standalone bodybuilding cycle or combine it with injectable steroids such as Deca-Durabolin, testosterone, or trenbolone. However, you should always consult your doctor and/or a professional bodybuilder for advice on any combination.

You can check out our Anadrol products; we offer you the possibility not only to buy Anadrol for a standalone cycle, but also to safely stack it with Dbol in a "Mass Gain Pack" from the stables of A-Tech Labs, Deus-Medical, Hilma Biocare, Pharmaqo Labs, and PRIME PHARMA.

Although we advise you to consult a qualified physician before starting an Anadrol cycle, we recommend a 6-week Anadrol cycle with a daily dose of 50 mg for the first three weeks, followed by 75 mg daily from week 4 to week 6.

 

 

#2. Oxandrolone (Anavar) Cycle for Weight Loss

If you're looking for a mild, orally administered AAS to aid your weight loss program, look no further than Oxandrolone (Anavar). The beauty of Anavar is that it will not only help you get rid of excess subcutaneous and visceral fat, but it will also stimulate lean muscle mass gains in the process.

Anavar has a positive impact on insulin sensitivity while increasing triiodothyronine (T3) levels to help boost metabolic rate. The increase in core body temperature, or thermogenesis, resulting from this increased metabolic rate will ultimately lead to lipolysis (fat burning).

Anavar is a popular oral steroid for female bodybuilders because it has a high tolerability level and mild side effects. Typically, female bodybuilders can complete a 4- to 6-week Anavar cycle with a daily dosage of 5 to 10 mg.

However, male bodybuilders can follow a higher daily dosage plan over a 6-week cycle by taking 15 mg daily from the first to the third week, then 20 mg daily from the fourth to the sixth week.

You can buy genuine, high-quality Anavar from Baboon Pharma, Beligas International, Driada Medical, and Evolve Biolabs on UPsteroid today.

 

 

#3. Use methandrostenolone (Dianabol) to gain muscle mass

Dianabol, or Dbol, is an oral mass-gaining steroid that has been around for some time. Dbol was a popular AAS in the 1970s, and it is widely reported that many Mr. Olympia-level bodybuilders were known to cycle on Dbol to rapidly gain muscle mass, strength, and improve recovery.

Like Anadrol, Dbol is hepatotoxic in nature and can negatively impact your liver health if you do not include liver-protective supplements in your Anavar cycle.

You can either use Dbol alone or in combination with injectable growth steroids. Combining it with other hepatotoxic oral steroids can put a strain on your liver function.

Using a SERM like clomiphene (Clomid) or tamoxifen (Nolvadex) with Dbol will help limit the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. We have also observed that some bodybuilders use an aromatase inhibitor (AI) like Arimidex with their Dbol cycle to prevent rising estrogen levels, but this can negatively affect blood lipids and may lead to high blood pressure or hypertension.

A six-week Dianabol cycle is ideal, with 20 mg per day from the first to the second week, then 25 mg of Dianabol per day from the third to the sixth week. If you wish to purchase genuine Dianabol products, you can do so now at UPsteroid.

 

 

#4. Take methasterone (Superdrol) to increase muscle strength and lean mass

Methasterone (Superdrol) is an oral steroid highly valued for its ability to increase muscle strength, reduce muscle fatigue, and promote muscle hypertrophy.

In fact, many bodybuilders like to call this AAS "Oral Tren" because of its ability to rapidly transform users' body composition to give them a lean, hard, and vascular physique.

Superdrol does not convert to the estrogen hormone when used, which means you will not retain excess fluid in your muscle tissue and, as a result, your lean mass gains are more likely to be retained after your Superdrol cycle and even during your off-season.

However, you should note that Superdrol is considered a highly hepatotoxic oral steroid and can put a lot of stress on your liver while causing high blood pressure.

It is therefore advisable to use liver-protective supplements such as TUDCA, LIV-52, or Samarin during your Superdrol cycle. Due to its high hepatotoxicity, Superdrol should not be combined with other oral steroids.

A four-week cycle of 20 mg of Superdrol per day is often recommended. You can purchase genuine, high-quality Superdrol from UPsteroid here.

 

 

#5. Losing body fat with oral Stanozolol (Winstrol)

Stanozolol is arguably one of the most popular and widely used oral steroids. Winstrol, or "Winny," is used by bodybuilders as a weight-loss agent to promote rapid body fat loss during a weight-loss program.

With Winny, you can stimulate lipolysis while gaining lean muscle mass by significantly reducing your levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), thereby increasing the amount of free testosterone available to help build muscle mass and reduce adipose tissue or fat stores.

Winstrol does not aromatize when taken, so you should expect gains in lean, dry, hard, and vascular muscle mass rather than large, fluid-filled muscles. However, like most of the oral steroids already mentioned, Winstrol is hepatotoxic and can affect your liver function as well as raise your blood pressure.

In addition, the diuretic effect of Winstrol is known to cause joint inflammation in some users, which may hinder your bodybuilding program due to the pain and discomfort associated with joint inflammation.

Female bodybuilders can also use Winstrol on a 4- to 6-week cycle, but a daily dosage of 5 mg should be sufficient. For male bodybuilders, a six-week Winstrol cycle of 20 mg daily from the first to the second week, increased to 25 mg daily from the third to the sixth week, is a safe Winstrol cycle and dosage plan.

At UPsteroid, we offer high-quality Winstrol products from the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies such as A-Tech Labs, Beligas International, Deus-Medical, PRIME PHARMA and so on.

 

 

Conclusion

Oral steroids offer bodybuilders a myriad of advantages, including convenience and ease of administration. However, it is important to remember that these oral steroids are hepatotoxic and must therefore be used with caution.

A low to moderate dosage plan is recommended for short cycles and with liver-protective supplements. If you need more information about the oral steroid that would best suit your specific bodybuilding needs, you can contact our in-house IFBB PRO and we will answer your questions within 48 hours.
