Ronnie Coleman Steroid Cycle (2010)
What would the Ronnie Coleman steroid cycle look like? Surprisingly, even though steroids are so widely used in professional bodybuilding, the cycles and dosages vary greatly from each pro. Genetics plays an extremely large role in bodybuilding, the steroids and other drugs are just a helper. There are some pros that use very low dosages of steroids, and others that use very high dosages for very long periods of times. It almost makes you wonder where some of the low dose steroid users would be if they used the same dosage and length as the other guys. The complication of the steroid cycles also varies from bodybuilder to bodybuilder. There are some who only stick to a few compounds, while others are taking four, five, six at a time. Some are using the most exotic or newest drugs like insulin, IGF, growth hormone, etc., while others just stick to the basics, such as, testosterone, Dianabol and Deca Durabolin. But what many don’t understand is, it’s not the drugs or steroids that got them there, it’s a combination of genetics, nutrition, hard work, and dedication over several years.
Let’s take a look at actual professional bodybuilders steroid cycles. Names are left out, but this is to give you an idea of the wide range of use and dosages in professional bodybuilding.
As you can see, it’s not much different any bodybuilder you see at the local gym. It’s a relatively low cycle. In fact, the pro admits it’s a low dose cycle, and said he always puts his health first… which can’t be said about all pros.
Here’s another cycle, this one is more along the lines of what most people think the pros take.
Even this steroid cycle the dosage are not too extreme. Some pros go into the 2,000mgs+ for testosterone, and higher in other steroids. Insulin is used on training days. One must be well researched in insulin, as it can be quite dangerous. Growth Hormone is often run for several months at a time, not just during the cycle. Many bodybuilders will also go on a low dosage of testosterone, 200-300mgs per week, instead of going completely off.
As for precontest, here is an example of a pre-competition steroid cycle of a professional bodybuilder.
This cycle is designed for the bodybuilder to peak right at the day of competition. Usually testosterone propionate will be dropped a couple weeks out, and either switched for testosterone suspension, or testosterone will be dropped all together. Many bodybuilders react differently to different steroids, so some may drop other steroids with a couple weeks left. Many will stick with trenbolone acetate and Winstrol right up to the show.
Where does the Ronnie Coleman steroid cycle fit in? Most professional bodybuilders at the higher end of the steroid cycles, with the higher dosages. As mentioned, some pros don’t use extreme dosages, but these pros usually fall outside the top 10 ranked bodybuilders in the world. But for the most part, there really aren’t any exotic drugs used, or steroids that no one knows about. The only drug used more than the average bodybuilder would be growth hormone, and that’s because it is quite expensive. Some will use IGF, but it’s not as popular or as effective as some may think.
