i wouldnt take it at all to be honest.....i find that most ppl who use it do get great strength/weight gains. But it is really hard to keep, and most of the weight gain is due to water retention.. Its totally up to you i guess.......Why not just use dbol, theyre similiar and IMO it works just as well and gains are a hair easier to maintain....not to mention the cost of anadrol vs. dbol.
