Bulking cycle with TST and Oxymetholone/Methandienone

Those of you who are chasing size even at the cost of more pronounced water retention in the body should at least take a look at this cycle. I have prepared three variants for you:

1. Testosterone Enanthate/Cypionate + Oxymetholone + GHRP-6

2. Testosterone Enanthate/Cypionate + Methandienone + GHRP-6

3. Testosterone Enanthate/Cypionate + Oxymetholone + Methandienone + GHRP-6

In every cycle, the base is TST E or C; you can choose whichever you want — it doesn’t matter which one. The average weekly dose of TST is set at 400 mg per week (285 mg every 5 days); you can adjust the average weekly amount to a higher one, for example 500–600–700–800 mg per week, depending on your experience.

GHRP-6 is also used in every cycle. Why?

• Increased appetite (hunger), which is useful during bulking
• A more intense growth hormone pulse lasting 60–90 minutes
• An increase in IGF-1 levels, which rise after about 12 hours and remain elevated for 24–48 hours
• Better sleep quality

GHRP-6 must be taken on an empty stomach because insulin levels rise after eating, and insulin suppresses growth hormone. If insulin levels are high, the effect of GHRP-6 may be more than 50% weaker. Its effect is rapid, starting about 5–10 minutes after administration, peaking around 20–40 minutes, and lasting a total of 60–90 minutes. What about eating afterward? Ideally, avoid food (especially carbohydrates and fats) for at least 40–60 minutes during its effect. If you experience intense hunger, choose protein as your first “meal,” because proteins have the least negative impact on the growth hormone pulse.

GHRP-6 causes desensitization relatively quickly. After the first application, ghrelin receptors retract into the cell and it takes a few hours before they are ready again. Therefore, it is important to divide the daily dose into 2 parts spaced 8–12 hours apart. Ideally, one dose should be taken in the morning and the other sometime in the afternoon/evening. The daily dose is arranged in a pyramid, gradually increasing from 100 mcg to 250 mcg per day. You can adjust this dose, but I would keep the pyramid structure so that you continuously feel an increased appetite. If you choose a constant dose, after about the first week you will stop noticing the increased hunger, which is undesirable in a bulking cycle. One more important detail: it is not necessary to exceed 1–1.5 mcg per kg of body weight, because increasing the dose further does not bring significantly greater effects — it mainly increases the negatives and speeds up desensitization.

In all three cycles, HCG is used (as I have explained several times, it is necessary), as well as Anastrozole for estrogen control, which can be replaced with Exemestane (also previously explained — estrogen levels must be controlled during the cycle).

Also, in all three cycles Ezetimibe (10 mg daily) is used to lower LDL and slightly improve HDL. This compound is solely for cholesterol control during the cycle, since lipid values are usually negatively affected. It can be replaced with Pitavastatin.

You have to keep in mind that after discontinuing the cycle, most of the retained water will drop, and therefore your size will quickly decrease. I always recommend extending the cycle and using TST alone for at least another month after discontinuing all other AAS, so that you maintain your gains for some time and avoid a sharp drop. The average weekly dose of 400 mg should be reduced to 200–250 mg. If you choose this approach, then on day 81 you would still take 285 mg, and on day 86 only around 150 mg, continuing like this every 5 days for 4 to 6 weeks. After the last dose, you can either wait two weeks before starting PCT, or skip the waiting period and proceed to another cycle.

Let’s move on to the individual cycles, which we will describe a bit further.
