If you are going to start an andro prohormone cycle it’s important that you have the necessary items on hand to make the most of it.  Prohormones are not going to do the work for you in either the kitchen or the gym, so you need to understand the principles that will make each cycle successful. 

There is no way you are going to see results on a prohormone cycle unless you do the proper kind and amount of exercise.  The routine you pick is somewhat immaterial as long as you workout hard and put in maximal effort. If you don’t have an idea how to best workout you should look at one of our training programs and also start with this article to help you choose a workout that’s right for you!

Workout By Body Type

Once you get an idea of how to workout, it’s important to eat right.

Protein is very important on a prohormone cycle.  No matter if you use natural andro or even the harsh chemically altered prohormones, it is important that you take a large amount of protein.  The minimum we suggest with any cycle is 100g per day.  This is a good amount to help you grow yet still manageable on the eating spectrum.  To give you an idea though, protein is hard to come by unless you drink shakes.  An egg has about 5-6g of protein, so to get 100g you would need to eat roughly 17-20 eggs per day.   Meat isn’t that much more dense.  Chicken, Steak and Pork have about 7-8g per ounce of lean cuts.  This means to get a full day, you would have to eat about 12.5 ounces of meat per day.  That’s not too bad, but can get pretty expensive and also inconvenient to eat throughout the day.  

Shakes can add in a good mix of protein and also give you another tasty source of protein to consume during the day.  While it’s not necessary to drink protein shakes, they do give you a high dose of L-Leucine which can improve your amino acid profile when working out.  

Shakes come in 20-30g scoops and can contain everything from zero carbs and fat (whey isolate) to night time protein for slow digestion (micellar casein) to high carb weight gainers. Depending on your goals and body type it is important to pick the right kind of shake and drink it during the day to help increase the amino acid profile. 

Amino acids can also help you increase your mass gains when you want to get an extra edge.  The best form of amino acids to combine with an andro cycle is BCAA or branched chain amino acids.  These are the primary amino acids used for building muscle and L-Leucine is king of the mass builders.  Also important are Arginine and Beta Alananine, but the big ones to take are BCAA’s.  These give you the most intense recovery while making a very anabolic environment. 

If you want to make sure you get the best gains in the gym with your prohormone cycle, its best to make sure to get the proper nutrients in the right amounts.  Water and protein are key to mass growth, so consume each one of them liberally!

Cutting Prohormones

 People often want to know what is the best prohormone for a certain goal.  One of the biggest goals is to cut fat while maintaining muscle and this article will outline the best prohormones on the market for doing just that and why each hormone has its advantages.First off, there is no supplement that is going to make a difference without a good diet and exercise program.  Cutting requires you be in a calorie deficit yet still maintain a good amount of protein to be able to build (or at least not lose) muscle during your cut.   Your exercise program should be geared to higher rep and less weight compared to a bulking program.  If you need more information on a good diet plan and exercise program, you can check out these articles.  While we won’t detail an exact meal plan or exercise program (you can thank the lawyers for that one), these articles will give you some good ideas.Workout For Your Body TypeFoods For Bodybuilders At Mind and Muscle we only sell natural andro prohormones and there are definite differences between the grey market chemically altered steroids on the market and our natural andro prohormones.  We put each manufacturer through a 6 point quality check to ensure that you are only getting legal prohormones that are legal with the FDA and DEA.  Unfortunately, some people may be being illegal grey market or black market steroids online and fail a drug test with no recourse.  Grey market steroids are bad for you and require liver protectants and may do serious cardiovascular damage.  Legal andro prohormones are reasonably safe when used by men over 21 and don’t show any of the serious toxicity of the chemically altered ones.If you want to use a cutting prohormone or a cutting stack (called a cycle) here are the things you will need to know.Use hormones that don’t convert to estrogen at all – estrogen is useful for bulking but on a cut you want no part of it!You don’t need cycle support – natural andro prohormones don’t require liver protection.  If you are prone to hairloss then maybe use a product like SUPERCYCLE from AMS, but it’s not necessaryNot all prohormones work the same for each person – this is why you stack, but you may have to try a couple of prohormones before you find the one that works best for youYou can stack two or more prohormones together for an additive effect  1+1=3For Post Cycle Therapy you should have a supplement with an aromatase inhibitor like 3,5-diene-7,17-dione and some testosterone boosting herbs like ginger, stinging nettle or othersHere are the top compounds on the market for cutting.  Make no mistake, these are real prohormones and they are best used for men over 21 ONLY!Epiandrosterone – this is a precursor to DHT that helps cut fat and increase aggression in the gym while making you horny as hell1-Androsterone – this adds more strength than Epiandrosterone but isn’t as likely to have hair loss and it will also put more mass on you17a-hydroxy-5a-pregnane-3,20-dione – this is very similar to epiandro in cutting effects but does not have any aggression or sexual effects11-keto-androstenedione (11-OXO) – this is a mildly androgenic prohormone that is also a good cortisol inhibitor, thus it will help you cut without being hard on the hair.That’s it for cutting compounds.  I picked only the most conservative compounds that won’t bloat you at all, so the list is rather short, but it’s a good solid list.  You can combine any of them to make a great cutting stack, but here are a couple cycles I like:EpiAndrosterone + 11-keto-androstenedione = this mix cuts cortisol and also increases DHT (which is good for burning fat).  It will make you strong as hell and give you good sexual stamina.  Take 4-6 doses of Epiandrosterone per day and 300-400mg of 11-OXO add in your PCT and perhaps some BCAA’s on cycle and you are all set.1-Androsterone + 11-keto-androstenedione – good strength and mass gains while cutting cortisol.  Take 4-6 doses of 1-Androsterone per day and 300-400mg of 11-OXO per day with PCT and BCAA’s.17a-hydroxy-5a-pregnane-3,20-dione + 11-keto-androstenedione – almost no side effects at all from my theories and a good combination of leaning out plus strength.  Same thing, add in PCT and BCAA’s.
