What does pyramiding mean?

Pyramiding is a dosing pattern where steroid doses are gradually increased to a mid-cycle peak, then tapered back down toward the end.

Why do people pyramid doses?

The idea is to ease into and out of a cycle, with users believing the taper helps avoid an abrupt 'crash' at the end.

How is pyramiding different from stacking?

Pyramiding describes the up-then-down shape of the dose over time, while stacking describes running multiple compounds at once.
