Guys, we'll start from the very beginning.
I believe this is one of the worst mistakes a person can do while hoping on cycle:
"I won't do injections" / "I cannot do injections" / "Imma use only orals for this cycle" (methandienone / turinabol / winstrol / even sarms)
You may ask me "why?" and the answer is very simple:
Oral AAS (methandienone, turinabol, oxandrolone, stanozolol, etc.):
Hypothalamus:
Testes:
Even if blood testosterone levels are still not “zero,” locally within the testes testosterone is nearly absent
So around the middle of the cycle you have fairly low test leves, your level of androgens is not stable, your mood is unstable and without having some test in blood you have only anabolics that impact the hypertrophy, but the efficiency of such a cycle is MUCH lower compared to the cycle with the test and here's why:
Testosterone is not only an androgenic, but also a powerful anabolic hormone. It directly stimulates muscle protein synthesis, increases nitrogen retention, and enhances muscle recovery.
When testosterone is combined with oral AAS, muscle hypertrophy becomes significantly greater because oral compounds markedly reduce SHBG (sex hormone–binding globulin) levels. This leads to a higher concentration of free testosterone in the blood plasma — the biologically active fraction.
Free testosterone can more easily enter muscle cells, bind to the androgen receptor, and initiate intracellular protein synthesis, ultimately resulting in enhanced muscle growth.

You may ask me "why?" and the answer is very simple:
Oral AAS (methandienone, turinabol, oxandrolone, stanozolol, etc.):
- are androgens
- easily enter the bloodstream
- rapidly increase the overall androgenic load
- endogenous testosterone
- or a pill
Hypothalamus:
- “Detects” elevated androgen levels
- Reduces the release of GnRH
- Decreases LH and FSH levels
Testes:
- Without LH, Leydig cells stop synthesizing testosterone
- Intratesticular testosterone drops by tens of times (this is critical)
