Description
Dianabol, or more commonly DBol, represents one of the most popular and most important anabolic steroids of all time. Without question, this is the most popular oral steroid to ever hit the market. It was developed with the sole purpose of performance enhancement, rather than for medical and therapeutic purposes like most steroids. It offers the quickest way to build mass and strength fast with dramatic results. It is a fast acting, short half-life steroid that can be found in both injectable and oral forms, however, the oral form has become the more common and widely available form. It is most commonly used in a bulking cycle during off-season due to the fact that it can deliver rapid and high quality mass building results.
Methandrostenolone is a testosterone derived anabolic steroid that has been structurally altered. It is the testosterone hormone with an added double bond at the carbon-1 and carbon-2 positions which reduces the hormones androgenic nature. It also carries an added methyl group at the carbon-17 position, allowing the hormone to survive oral ingestion. It is classified as a C17-alpha alkylated steroid. It carries an anabolic/androgenic rating of (90-210):(40-60). The reduced androgenic nature compared to testosterone while retaining an extremely anabolic effect allows Dianabol to be considered as a true performance enhancing androgen and anabolic steroid that has well known and studied benefits going back decades.
Some of the many benefits of Dianabol include:
Rapid muscle mass growth with dramatic results
Increased nitrogen retention
Boosts strength, speed, and power
Enhanced recovery and endurance
Enhances protein synthesis
Promotes glycogenolysis
What is the recommended dosage?
The recommended continuous use of Dianabol is just 4-6 weeks due to its potential toxic effect on the liver. It is strongly suggested to take a minimum 6-week break after a DBol cycle to allow for liver recovery. Being such a powerful steroid, users can achieve excellent results even at low doses such as 15mg/day. The most common dosage lies in the 20-40mg/day range, however, it is not uncommon for more advanced users to take 50-80mg/day. Doses of this nature will produce side effects that can be hard on your health.
Due to the short half-life of this steroid and liver toxicity, it is recommended to split the dosage into 2-3 smaller doses/day in an effort to maintain peak blood levels. Many users will take the full daily dosage at once to produce higher peak levels timed around their training schedule, allowing users to maximize their results during the crucial timing window. Regardless of which method you choose, you will find Dianabol to produce excellent results.
What does Dianabol stack well with?
One of the most important traits of Dianabol is perhaps the synergistic relationship it shares with other anabolic steroids. Although you would not label it as a “base” steroid to build a cycle around, it should strongly be considered to be added to a well-planned stack. It has the ability to create unbelievable synergy when conjoined with other anabolic steroids. Due to the common side effect of testosterone suppression, it is highly recommended that testosterone be used as the base for a dbol cycle.
A basic cycle to quickly build size would consist of any variety of Testosterone and Dianabol. It also pairs well with Deca, Equipoise, and NPP.
For dramatic results, the addition of Trenbolone to a Testosterone/Dbol stack would be suitable for the most advanced athletes.
