A comparison of cycles across time:
Early adaptor cycle— c. 1958
Four to eight week cycles of 5-20mg Dianabol daily
The classic cycle— c. 1960s-1970s
Duration: 8-12 weeks + taper
Week 1: Testosterone cypionate 200mg, 20mg Dianabol daily
Week 2: Testosterone cypionate 200mg, 30mg Dianabol daily
Week 3: Testosterone cypionate 200mg X 2 (Mon, Fri), 30mg Dianabol daily
Weeks 4-6: Testosterone cypionate 300mg X 2 (Mon, Fri), 30mg Dianabol daily
Weeks 7-10: Testosterone cypionate 400mg X 2 (Mon, Fri), 40mg Dianabol daily
Weeks 11-12: Testosterone cypionate 200mg X 2 (Mon, Fri), 30mg Dianabol daily
Week 13: Testosterone cypionate 200mg, 30mg Dianabol daily
Weeks 14-16: Taper on Dianabol only
*Note: During the ’60s-’90s, pyramiding was common as post-cycle recovery was dependent upon tapering. Also, the lack of effective aromatase inhibitors and sensitivity to estrogenic side-effects caused some to use lower doses of testosterone and substitute Anavar for the Dianabol, though with lesser mass and strength benefits. Pre-contest cycles would substitute Primobolan for the testosterone in ever-increasing ratio. Rumors of higher doses are likely invalid as water retention and gynecomastia would have been evident.
Andreas Munzer’s ‘Death Cycle’ (as reported in Der Spiegel)— c. 1996
Weeks 1-10: Ephedrine, Aspirin, Clenbuterol, Valium, Captagon, Cytomel
Weeks 1-5: Testosterone Enanthate 500mg daily, Parabolan 152mg daily, Dianabol 150mg daily, Halotestin 150mg, daily HGH 20IU daily, Insulin 20IU daily
Weeks 6-8: Masteron 300mg daily, Parabolan 152mg daily, Winstrol Tab 250mg daily, Halotestin 150mg daily, Winstrol Inj. 50mg daily, HGH 24IU daily
Weeks 9-10: Masteron 200mg daily, Winstrol Inj 100mg daily, Halotestin 200mg daily, Winstrol Tab 400mg daily, HGH 24IU Daily, Insulin IGF-1 Aldactone and Lasix for 3 days before show
Note: some have disputed this list as being inaccurate, whereas others state it is consistent with Munzer’s use. No toxicology report was available for confirmation of the drugs’ presence.
