Hi Mick,

Can you tell me what’s the reason for pyramiding?

When pyramiding up – is it to gradually test the gear on our bodies or does the gear just work better for some reason this way?

Pyramiding down – is this to encourage our natural test levels to restart or is it because a sustained dose isn’t needed anymore for the same results?

Hey Tc,

OK the answer is for those reasons and also for the fact that pyramiding is a safe way to induce gear into your body to “self-check” if you like; its a milder way in induction.

For example: should you find that after say 3 weeks that you are experiencing side effects of some sort then it you have in reality hit the limit of that particular steroid or at the very least found a “ceiling” from which to work from with future therapy.

No matter what level steroid intake is taken, pyramiding is a safe way to check those levels.

Ok I know that some would prefer the “fuck-it-and-see” approach by whacking in as much as possible at first to force the body to grow – thats their choice – but the problem with that method is that beginners also see and read which in most cases sees them trying the same method with their first cycle – this is not recommended. You have to learn your own limits as soon as possible as they vary with such a degree from person to person as do the levels of their successes within that steroid therapy.

Safety first – fuck the rush!
