The 14 Week Anabolic Steroid Drug Cycle of an IFBB Professional Bodybuilder

While Generation Iron may not address drug use in the sport of professional bodybuilding, one bodybuilder known for openly discussing anabolic steroid administration is Victor Martinez. This tells us that WE MAY get a little advice on anabolics, again I am sure nothing too in depth but maybe enough to open our minds to top bodybuilding cycling methodologies. Here’s a quote from Wayne Demilia, President of the International Federation of Body Builders (IFBB). He said, as quoted from the New York Times May 13, 2001: “When my guys tell you it costs more than $25,000 to get ready for a big contest, do you think they’re talking about pasta?"

As the following Generation Iron - Mr. Olympia style drug cycle commenced, our Pro bodybuilder interviewee was 14 weeks out from the world’s most prestigious bodybuilding event, the Mr. Olympia. Upon beginning this cycle he weighed a whopping 280 pounds. Due to the possibility that he could be identified, his contest weight and his placement at the event will not be published. Below is his cycle.

I know it’s more reminiscent of an old school cycle but I honestly would not doubt that many pro bodybuilders are still following the concept of low dose cycles in order to avoid strong muscle wasting hormones build up when quitting cold turkey prior to competition. Think of it like someone trying to quit smoking a pack a day all at once without scaling down to lesser smokes per day. The withdrawal is intense because all the neurotransmitters that were boosted during smoking drop dramatically once the nicotine leaves the body. Same goes with anabolics, once you stop taking them, the hormones that cause destruction of muscles rise to compensate for the prolonged period of muscle building hormones occupying all the muscle tissues.
