Steroid cycles

Steroid abuse often happens in patterns, and one common pattern is known as steroid cycles. The person abusing the steroid "cycles" the dosages. Steroid cycles involve taking multiple doses of steroids in a given period of time, then stopping for a period of time, and starting again. Steroid cycles, or "cycling" if often combined with the practice of taking several different types of steroids, known as "stacking." Steroid abusers believe that steroid cycles and stacking can have different effects on the body than just taking one type of steroid. There is no scientific evidence to support this belief.

Another steroid cycle is known as "pyramiding." This steroid cycle differs from cycling or stacking. The person taking steroids steadily increases the amount of steroids injected or consumed until mid-cycle, when they gradually begin decreasing it again. This might be followed by a second cycle, when the abuser trains without using any steroids at all. The perceived benefit of this steroid cycle is that it gives the body time to adjust to the higher dosages of steroids. Like stacking, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim of benefits in steroid cycles or pyramiding.
