What is the best prohormone stack for beginners? That’s a question we get asked a lot and with good reason.
If you’re beginner, you want a prohormone stack that does three things:
- Has a gentle, easy to use prohormone like one of those from our list
- Includes a comprehensive over-the-counter cycle support product
- Takes care of your post-cycle therapy
With that in mind, here is our top recommendation for a beginner’s prohormone stack.
RPN Havoc: A Suitable ‘Beginner’ Prohormone
A beginner’s prohormone should have three main features – low toxicity, few side effects and low conversion to estrogen. Get these three things and you’ll have a great first cycle.
Get them wrong and you could see your estrogen levels spike and mood swings like a freakin’ monkey on amphetamines.
And no one wants that in their life.
We recently put together a list of what we think are the ultimate in ‘beginner’ prohormones (read it here). These are gentler products that will give you a good introduction to prohormone supplementation before you move up to the big league – if that’s what you want.
RPN Havoc meets all these criteria. It’s active ingredient is Epistane or EPI which is a designer steroid (not a true prohormone). It has very low side effects and low toxicity.
In terms of positive effects, you can expect increases in strength, muscle hardness, size and vascularity. When I use Havoc, I also find that my mood is enhanced – I feel sharper and more motivated.
Competitive Edge Labs Cycle Assist for Comprehensive Support
Your prohormone cycle should always include cycle support. This has two main functions which include:
- To counteract unwanted side effects
- To help your body cope with any toxins
A good on-cycle support product will cover a range of bases including hormonal balance, blood pressure and liver support.
This might seem overkill with some of the beginner products but it’s smart to get into the habit of always running on-cycle support regardless.
Competitive Edge Labs Cycle Assist has an impressive ingredient profile which will cover most of these bases providing you with a legal, over-the-counter cycle support product – perfect for beginners.

Post Cycle Therapy – Arimistane for the Win!
You’ve had a great cycle. How do you know this? All your 1 Rep Maxes went up, you looked dry and veiny and Suzie from accounts asked if you were free next weekend.
But none of that matters if you manage to screw up your post cycle therapy. This is the chance for you to hang onto your hard earned gains.
Or lose them forever.
That’s where Arimistane comes in. It’s an aromatase inhibitor which means it stops your body from producing too much estrogen. This is a common side effect when you come off prohormones.
The active ingredient is Look for Androst 3,5-dien-7,17-dione so make sure whatever you’re buying contains it.
Fusion Supplements Arimistane is a good, affordable version and can even be used as a stand alone product.

The Best Prohormone Stack for Beginners – Summary
Simpler is always better. These are three easily available, relatively safe products that will you a great introduction to prohormone supplementation.
You should also look to increase your workout volume and intensity over the length of your cycle and may want to use creatine and pre-workout supplements in your post cycle window to maximise your gains.
Remember that none of this is legal advice and you should always check to see if prohormones are legal where you live before attempting to buy.
Have a great cycle and supplement sensibly.
