Dianabol steroids are some of the most popular steroids of all time; of all the oral steroids available without question Dianabol steroids hold the throne of the most popular ones. As well as being immensely popular they are further the first anabolic to by synthetically made for human use in an oral form. While the steroid is also available in an injectable form the oral is by far more popular and far more commonly used; in-fact, although there is an injectable version commonly known as Reforvit-B it is the oral version we are concerned with here since it is by far the main version used and really the only one you would ever need.
Dianabol steroids were first developed by U.S. Olympic Team doctor John Zeigler in 1956 through Ciba Pharmaceuticals in an effort to give the U.S. Teams an advantage over the Soviet athletes who were already dosing their athletes with testosterone. Since that time there has been now turning back; quickly these little pills would almost overnight become a favorite of many athletes, particularly in the bodybuilding and power lifting world. It is well-known that many bodybuilders from the 70s which is often referred to as The Golden Age used Dianabol steroids regularly and they made no bones about it; after all, at the time its not like they were breaking any law.
The effect of most injectable anabolic steroids is greatly enhanced by addition of Dianabol. The improvement is greater than from simply increasing the amount of injectable by the same amount. A classic and dramatic example is trenbolone. Though the total amount of steroid used is the same in all three cases, 50 mg/day each of trenbolone acetate stacked with 50 mg/day Dianabol provides a far more effective steroid cycle than either 100 mg/day of trenbolone acetate alone or 100 mg/day Dbol alone. The side effect profile is superior as well. In other words, the compounds act synergistically: the whole is greater than the parts. This is likely due to differing mechanisms of action.
All anabolic androgenic steroids carry with them the potential for negative side effects. The probability largely varies from one steroid to the next and often dose and individual response play a massive role; in-fact, individual response may indeed be the most important factor. As is with so many things in life some individuals have no negative response no matter how much of a particular item is present, for example, certain foods, while another person can look at the same food and become sick. The same can be said of most all anabolic androgenic steroids but the good news is for healthy adult men toleration is generally high and side effects are often avoidable or reversible when responsibility is implored. Lets take a look at one of the most popular anabolic steroids of all time Dianabol (Methandrostenolone) and see what we find
Common Dianabol Side Effects:
The two most common Dianabol side effects are without question Gynecomastia (male breast enlargement) and excess water retention or bloat. Both of these reactions are due to the hormone aromatizing (converting into estrogen) and as estrogen increases in the body these effects can become present. For most Gynecomastia is avoidable but for quite a few their sensitivity will be so great that nothing short of having their glands removed from their pecs will save them. In most cases a good aromatase inhibitor will prevent Gyno as it is commonly known with Arimidex and Letrozole being our best choices.
As it pertains to water retention, the same estrogenic effect is responsible and yet again an aromatase inhibitor will largely reduce and often prevent bloat to any serious degree. We must note, as it is a common misunderstanding; many who supplement with Dbol do so when bulking and when they bloat they immediately point to this hormone as the culprit. Absolutely, it may very well play a role but nine times out of ten the primary culprit is the individual eating too much, particularly in the way of carbohydrates. Yes, Dianabol side effects can include water retention but such a side effect is so easily controlled that if it does become a problem for you then you need to examine other aspects of your plan.
Two other primary Dianabol side effects include high blood pressure and inefficient cholesterol levels. For those who already have high blood pressure this is a steroid you must avoid and if youre predisposed to a high blood pressure condition you are advised to seek alternative steroids without question. Those who have a healthy blood pressure and who do not overdo the dose will generally be fine; in-fact, its not uncommon to see an athlete supplement with 30mg-50mg of Dbol a day and never see his blood pressure go up.
The same can be said of cholesterol; your current condition and predisposition will play a large role. Further, if you are healthy and use responsibly youll more than likely be fine. However, it is always best to err on the side of caution and as such it is recommended you ensure your diet is rich in healthy fats, especially those of an Omega Fatty-Acid nature. Such fats have been proven to improve total cholesterol levels greatly and many Dbol users who have dealt with Dianabol side effects of a cholesterol nature often see their levels improve when omegas are added. Lets not forget Omega Fatty-Acids are simply good for you to begin with and play many important roles in the muscle game and in our general overall health.
Liver Related Dianabol Side Effects:
Methandrostenolone is an oral anabolic steroid by way of its C17-Alpha Alkylated (17-aa) structure. This classification refers to the Methandrostenolone hormone being altered at the 17th carbon position in order for it to survive the first pass through the liver; without the structural change the hormone would be destroyed before it ever entered the blood stream. All Dianabol tablets are of a 17-aa nature and as such Dianabol side effects can often be of a liver toxic nature as the 17-aa change is quite hepatic. While there are many 17-aa steroids Dbol as it is most commonly known is one of the more liver toxic on the market and caution should be applied. When we supplement with this hormone Dianabol side effects will assuredly include an increase in liver enzymes but the good news is for healthy men they will return to normal once use is discontinued and quite rapidly. Even so, this is where responsibility comes in; our general lifestyle needs to be liver friendly to begin with so as to not burden the organ with too much undue stress. You are highly advised to avoid all other oral medications while this hormone is in play and please limit your alcohol consumption as daily alcohol consumption is more toxic to the liver than Dbol will ever be.
Dianabol Side Effects Testosterone:
For one reason or another many people believe some anabolic androgenic steroids do not suppress testosterone and this simply isn’t so. It is true, the level of suppression varies with each form; for example, Deca-Durabolin will suppress production completely after one dose, while milder steroids such as Anavar only suppress slightly but slightly is still suppression. In our case here, one of the often forgotten Dianabol side effects is in-fact testosterone suppression. It will not suppress to the degree of Nandrolone or Trenbolone but it is more than enough to warrant a need for exogenous testosterone therapy.
Ask any experienced performance enhancer and most will tell you a good Dianabol cycle is hard to beat. One of the first anabolic steroids ever created and one of the few created for the purpose of performance enhancement, for well over half a century athletes of all types have implemented a Dianabol cycle into their routine. Without question much of this steroids popularity resides in the ranks of competitive bodybuilding and power lifting; after all, it was for Olympic strength athletes first created and wildly popular all through the Golden Age of bodybuilding. One of the absolute best anabolic steroids for pilling on mass and increasing strength, the Methandrostenolone hormone not only possesses these traits but it provides them at a rapid rate. How good is this small oral steroid, how powerful? You may be familiar with the popular steroid Anadrol and in many circles it is considered the premier oral steroid for size and strength. While Anadrol is a quality steroid, on a milligram for milligram basis Dianabol blows it out of the water in-terms of strength and power; it is far more potent on a per milligram basis. So how do we use it in order to maximize the benefits held within? Let’s take a look at how to plan a Dianabol cycle.
Off-Season Dianabol Cycle:
Without question most who supplement with the Methandrostenolone hormone will do so when they are in their off-season mode; simply meaning, they are trying to grow larger and become stronger. First and foremost, yes, this steroid can be used all alone and no, it shouldn’t be. Dbol, as it is commonly known will suppress your natural testosterone production and exogenous testosterone is advised to be administered. For the off-season Dianabol cycle we generally have two choices and sometimes in more hardcore elite circles a combination of both is used; the two options include kick starting and plateau busting.
- Kick Starting: Kick starting is the most common point of Dbol use and simply refers to the beginning of a total stacked cycle in a priming sense. In reality, while “priming” is often the term used really most use it here simply because they’re eager to see gains come quickly A Dianabol cycle for this purpose will generally last approximately 6 weeks with 4 weeks generally being the minimum and 8 weeks being the maximum. Once the Methandrostenolone use is complete the total cycle will continue without the Dianabol being present but by this time more foundational steroids are well into the athletes system allowing for progression to continue.
- Plateau Busting: Plateau busting refers to a point during an anabolic steroid cycle in-which the individual has stagnated, gains are no longer coming and this can be very frustrating. This can occur at any time during a cycle but usually begins to show for most around the 8-10 week mark as the body begins to adapt and a change is needed. This is where a Dianabol cycle can really be useful; while it is beneficial at the beginning of a cycle it is perhaps even more efficient here. Once the new hormone is introduced and as it is so powerful and fast acting the plateau is busted and progression begins again. A typical Dianabol cycle of this nature will rarely go past 6 weeks and is often only 4 weeks.
There are some who will kick start and use this steroid as a plateau buster but this is not something we generally recommend. Absolutely, it will work but a Dianabol cycle can be quite toxic to the liver and it is recommended use be kept short and brief as to maintain optimal liver health.
Cutting Dianabol Cycle:
It is a common myth that plagues many message boards and it is nothing more than a myth; the myth states Dianabol makes you gain fat. It is true, the Methandrostenolone hormone does aromatize and by this effect can cause a lot of water retention and when bulking most rarely concern themselves with a little water. Lets examine; water retention or bloat is not fat, its water retention plain and simple. Further, many who bloat badly when implementing a Dianabol cycle automatically blame the new found bloat solely on the Dbol when more times than not a large culprit is them overeating, especially regarding carbohydrates. Finally, if water retention is truly a bad issue for you and it will be more pronounced in some than others, a good aromatase inhibitor will eliminate concern. In short, if youre eating properly, not stuffing your face like a fat cow and supplementing responsibly, massive water retention will not be a problem and any that does occur is certainly not body-fat; but can it be used while cutting?
Without question increasing size and strength is this steroids primary nature but like many steroids it can serve secondary purposes apt for other goals. When the individual is dieting a good Dianabol cycle can aid in maintaining strength levels as they commonly drop when in a calorie deficit; further, like most anabolic hormones Dbol will preserve lean tissue. For the competitive bodybuilder this steroid can absolutely be used during a diet but we wouldnt recommend it at the tail-end due to the high aromatase factor. It is true, the Methandrostenolone hormone is perhaps not the best anabolic steroid for dieting purposes but if it is what you have available it will more than get the job done and the good news for you is this steroid is generally cheap and widely available.
