Sustanon 250 Cycle: The Ultimate Guide

Firstly, when you inject Sustanon 250 (often abbreviated to “Sust”), the anabolic hormone you are administering is testosterone.

Sustanon 250 is a blend of different testosterone esters; however, it is still essentially testosterone, like cypionate or enanthate.

Therefore, in terms of muscle gains, it does not matter what form of testosterone you use, as it is the same compound and thus will produce an identical end result.

As with any testosterone product, we have found Sustanon 250 to be an excellent steroid for increasing muscle mass, strength, and power.

Sustanon 250 Cycles and Stacks

Testosterone is a versatile hormone suitable for both bulking and cutting cycles due to its simultaneous anabolic and fat-burning effects.

However, our patients typically use Sustanon 250 in bulking cycles, where maximum muscle gain is the goal. We have seen great results achieved from running Sustanon on its own, yet many choose to stack it with other steroids that are also suited for adding mass, such as Anadrol.

Sustanon 250 is also effective on its own during cutting cycles, promoting muscle retention and decreasing fat mass.

Many bodybuilders are afraid of losing muscle tissue when cutting due to the catabolic environment that occurs with a calorie deficit; however, testosterone can alleviate such worries of diminished muscle hypertrophy.

We have seen a moderate dose of Sustanon 250 (350 mg/week) often preserve lean tissue during a cut, especially when stacked with other compounds that aid fat loss and muscle hardening, such as:

1. Anavar
2. Trenbolone

Additionally, when using Sustanon for a cutting cycle, the use of an anti-aromatase in low doses can prove particularly useful for preventing water retention and gynecomastia, in our experience.

For informational purposes, here are some common Sustanon 250 cycles and stacks utilized by bodybuilders today:

Sustanon 250 Beginner Cycle

Note: Large gains in hypertrophy (size) and strength can be experienced at lower dosages among beginners, due to the muscles being particularly receptive to exogenous testosterone. Thus, beginners should avoid utilizing high dosages, allowing more potential for growth in future cycles where higher dosages may be incorporated.

Sustanon 250 Intermediate Cycle

This Sustanon 250 cycle will continue adding mass to users who have already taken a cautiously dosed testosterone cycle previously.

Sustanon 250 and Anavar Cycle (Cutting)

Anavar is an oral steroid predominantly used for cutting to enhance fat-burning and muscle gains.

Thus, users will burn more subcutaneous fat with this cycle and experience additional lean mass compared to running Sustanon 250 by itself.

Note: Users wanting to avoid water retention or bloating on this cutting cycle can take anastrozole. We find that taking 0.5mg every other day successfully prevents estrogen levels from rising.

Sustanon 250 and Deca Durabolin Cycle

Deca Durabolin has long esters and thus is a slow-acting steroid, hence the lengthy 10-week cycle.

Deca Durabolin is typically injected once per week.

Sustanon 250 and Trenbolone Cycle

However, we find this cycle only suitable for advanced steroid users due to trenbolone’s toxic nature in regard to cardiovascular health.

If this cycle is utilized for cutting purposes, an anti-estrogen such as anastrozole may be used to prevent water retention.

However, doing so can exacerbate high blood pressure due to it inhibiting the aromatase enzyme and thus worsening cholesterol ratios. Thus, we do not have our patients take anastrozole when their blood pressure is already high.

Sustanon 250 / Anadrol / Trenbolone Cycle

Note: This cycle is only typically performed by experienced steroid users.

This is by far the most potent bulking cycle a bodybuilder can take, causing unrivaled increases in mass in our experience.

We have seen users take steroids for decades and still make impressive gains from this cycle, due to the sheer power of this trio.
