Cutting cycles usually follow bulking cycles and include steroids that help in fat reduction and development of lean muscle mass. Most of the bodybuilders and athletes plan their cutting cycles in a way that they fall during the summer season, because the heat causes more perspiration and that results in additional weight loss.
The worst thing that can happen to a bodybuilder is loss of muscle mass during a cutting cycle. Cutting cycle steroids these days help sustain lean muscle mass, and improve metabolism in a way that the body burns through fat and produces smaller quantities of fat while muscle growth and development is not hindered. We have discussed the best cutting cycle steroids in some of the previous entries; here we will discuss basic and advanced cutting cycles for athletes and body builders.
For a very basic nine week cutting cycle, you can simply go for T-3 and Clenbuterol:
| Week | T-3 | Clenbuterol |
| 1-3 | 3 tablets per day | 6 tablets per day |
| 4-6 | 4 tablets per day | 0 tablets per day |
| 7-9 | 0 tablets per day | 6 tablets per day |
This is an ideal cutting cycle for beginners as Clenbuterol can really help you burn through fat while T-3 will keep you energy levels elevated and will keep your strength up to work harder at the gym. This cycle is also adopted by MMA fighters, boxers, and athletes looking for a lean, muscular physique.
Another nine week cutting cycle for beginners is:
| Week | T-3 | Primobolan | Clenbuterol |
| 1-3 | 0 tablets per day | 300mg per week | 4 tablets per day |
| 4-6 | 2 tablets per day | 300mg per week | 0 tablets per day |
| 7-9 | 0 tablets per day | 300mg per week | 4 tablets per day |
If you are going to follow this cycle, make sure your body is used to steroids for some extent. You will have to inject Primobolan so we have recommended lower dosages of T-3 and Clenbuterol. If you are not preparing for a body building competition, make sure you stay hydrated during this cycle to minimize any side effects.
Before we mention cutting cycles for advanced users, let us clarify that this is in no way a prescription. The dosages are averaged out and the nine weeks cycles are commonly used. Your age, height, weight, BMI, and body fat percentage, all affect the dosages you should use. You can use the tables in this article as a vague guideline but talk to your trainer before you proceed.
That being said, let us list an advanced cutting cycle:
| Week | Winstrol | Primobolan | Clenbuterol |
| 1-2 | 200 mg per week | 100 mg per week | 3 tablets per day |
| 3-4 | 300 mg per week | 200 mg per week | 0 tablets per day |
| 5-6 | 300 mg per week | 300 mg per week | 3 tablets per day |
| 7-8 | 300 mg per week | 300 mg per week | 0 tablets per day |
| 9-10 | 0 mg per week | 0 mg per week | 3 tablets per day |
This advanced cycle is for athletes and body builders who have been through a couple of bulking and cutting cycles. In other words, it is for those whose bodies are accustomed to higher dosages of anabolic steroids.
There are several other cutting cycle steroids that can be used in place of Primo, Clen, and Winstrol; you could go with Masteron as well. However, ask your trainer before you do so.
