Opinions on whether or not a Dianabol only cycle produces "keepable" gains?

So I've been doing a fair bit of research over the past few months on Dianabol only cycles and have come across mixed opinions as to whether or not Dianabol produces "keepable" gains.

I know that a lot of weight gained while on a cycle of Dianabol would be water retention that would inevitably lost upon finishing the cycle, but I was wondering what you guys' opinions are on whether or not it is possible to retain a good amount of the muscle gained after your cycle has finished?

Cheers

Do not believe your going to find much support here...

Oral only cycles are frowned upon

You eat them you blow up then you stop and deflate

Not saying they do not have a place in the aas game but test should always be used as a base before any other compound

Also like to add the dianabol will shut down your natural test levels and we all know that having no test may result in unwanted sides...

Don't get me wrong mate I'm not looking for someone to tell me what I want to hear, I want people to say that they think.

I'm not planning on doing my first cycle for months and want to arm myself with sufficient knowledge instead of rushing into it.
 
An oral only cycle isn't the best idea but it can be done and you will get some gains from the dbol and keep some aswell but it really should be. Was. I used to freak out whenran with a test of any sort. If you are scared to inject welcome to the club. Almost everyone is. I had to get shots at doc office. But its not anwhere near as bad as you would think. I use a 22gauge by 1 1/2 inch needle now and its ok. It is all in the mind. Best results run test with dbol and run low dose of nolvadex everyday to keep gynp away amd keep side effects down and have propper post cycle therapy (pct). That's really important. Propper pct
 
Run 50 mg day spaced out. Keep blood levels high. 6-8 weeks max you'll get a lot of water weight but if you hit it hard and eat big you'll get some gains but better with test run test for 12 weeks
 
A non-oral cycle is much better. A cycle with orals added...but oral only is shit.

I've ran 13 successful cycles on #14 now....I might know a little.

Thanks for the advice mate, I'm not that against injecting I guess, like I said I'm not gonna cycle for a few months yet anyway, I was initially going to do a dianabol only cycle a few months ago but after some research it seems most people say it isn't worth it.
 
if you have really done a fair bit of research you would have found countless threads just like this one and subsequently had no need to make a new post.

^This. And OP, doing the slightest bit of reading before posting a question like this would benefit you. We all have to do some research on our own and after doing so ask an educated question. Your just asking to get flamed by asking this. Either you have done no research whatsover or you have and know its a bad idea but your hoping that someone will tell you otherwise so you can do it anyways.
 
Will a testosterone only cycle be just as effective as a dbol and testosterone cycle? And would the answer be the same for both beginners and advanced alike?



So, after all is said and done.................there is always more said than done. LOL But seriously, as newbie on this board, Im 54, now on my 1st cycle in 30 years. Previously, I had been on either deca and dbol cycles for 8-12 weeks. Or testosterone enanthate and deca durobolin for 12 weeks. And I see that "after all is said and done" 30 yrs after my first cycle, its seems that the 3 thinGS I WAS ON BEFORE ARE THE 3 MOST POPULAR THINGS NOW! So, contrary to what many of you believe, we havent come as far as we all think.(seems to me most of the progress has been on the insane dosages the body can withstand so everyone who competes can have a 22 inch arm like ARNOLD.(almost)and the addition of Aromataise inhibitors.(which I never used back then and didnt use till just now with no major sides at all. On the other hand, we have made substantial progress but sadly, it is causing sooooo much confusion that I see that some guys waste 6 months asking questions about 9 differend roids and 4 different ai's and when they finally do start, they are less sure if they are safe than when they started researching. From what Im hearing from the guys who a-have the most posts b-guys who have done the most cycles is: YOU WANT TO USE TESTOSTERONE AS YOUR BASE(preferably enanthate or cypionate) and take DBOL to jump start your cycle for 1st 6 weeks as it may take 2-3 weeks before you even start gaining weight with the enanthate or other testosterones.

So Im now on :sustano250, 1ml 2x a week and the dianabol I shall keep private for now to keep us on track. So my question is, if dbol has the same water retention and bulking qualities as testosterone, TO avoid confusion for newbies, is it safe to say that most of you experienced guys here, and most experienced guys who compete would agree that if you dont care about jumpstarting your gains, there is absolutely no reason to take d-bol at all and just use the same or more testosterone since all of you seem to say "TESTOSTERONE IS KING."? TRUE OR FALSE?

FOR EXAMPLE, before the newbie does his first injection, how does he compare dbol to testosterone in the body on a mg to ml level?(notice these 2 arent measured or dispensed the same way so thats where confusion can be rampant right there!)

The question: Since 500ml of sust or enathate per week seems to be the majority of peoples starting point, even if you are going top stack with dbol, why not just use 6-750ml of test., and skip the dbol or just do the 500ml of test alone, and if you dont get gthe result you feel is warranted after 3-4 weeks you know for sure its the test dosage and you can increase with confidence with no other variables in your way to cause confusion? IN OTHER WORDS....WHEN BULKING, ISNT TEST ONLY THE BEST WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOUR BODY REALLY NEEDS AS FAR AS DOSAGES AND PERHAPS EVEN TIMES PER WEEK?

This also could make a case to use the same type of testosterone as well and forget stacking your enanthate with sustanon and something else. TRUE OR FALSE?

Anyway,here is what this old man has to report on starting dbol and sustanon together at the same time: 1st 3 weeks, no result. After week 6 and increasing the dbol I gained 10 pounds(so Im not sure if it was time and/or the increased dosage that did it. So already Im missing information I need but hopefully in subsequent cycles, I will learn by trial and error.)

After 2 more weeks I gain another 5 pounds putting me at my highest weight ever which is 185. I then crashed into a wall, psychological I think as I didnt see much of the gain as muscle, yet my stomach didnt get bigger so i got depressed ,stopped the dbol and took a week off. That week turned into 2 weeks and Im now at 181 or 182. I was also disapoointed my sex drive didnt go thru the roof like when I was 22 on deca and just 1cc enanthate weekly! , in fact I got maybe 10% hornier. Im pleased to report that tonight when having sex with 75mg viagra in me, I had the best orgasm Ive had in 10 years in both hardness and volume of "juice." Sweet. But too bad the AS alone didnt do this like when I was 22. I have also cut out the dbol at the 8th week and just used the Sustanon (sust), and 4 days ago I added in TREN A 75ml eod,(on a whim) which my body couldnt handle as I was on the toilet 1/2 the night and hardly slept. I recently just added in Proviron as my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) as I have no sides at all, and am hoping it will take away some of my water weight gain and cut me up a bit more. My carb level is at 150gms per day and every time,even when in my 20's I try to go under that, I cant sleep well, and now at my age I cant crap with less than 30 gms of fiber in my diet so 150 gma of carbs is a must. Thinking of following 1 posters advice and cutting out carbs after 2:30pm and see what happens.

I met Bob Paris by accident on vacation one day and he tyold me that since carbs are protein sparing if you cuy the good ones you will stop gaining muscle. Its been 20 yrs since I saw him, the verdict is still out! -)

Also, those who say that dbol today has to be fake because the original co. was bought out, I say, so what? Havent we all heard of Ben and Jerrys Icecream? Most popular ic in the states. When they got bought out ,the ingredienst didnt change one bit, notr did the carton packaging, and by now, everyone probably forgot they ever got bought which is how Permalot(the buyer) wants it! Brand recognition keeps sales up,right?

So the bottom line is: Will a testosterone only cycle be just as effective as a dbol and testosterone cycle? And would the answer be for both beginners and advanced alike?
 
You came to the wrong neighborhood friend. We don't like oral only cycles here. Gotta be careful or they'll sic the DAWG on you! Lol
 
Yea, you might want to watch out. Oral only cycles are complete waste as they will shut down your natural testosterone levels, and you would have nothing backing it up. BTW, watch out for Mr. Balboa or Dawg comming becuase they will really screw you over.
 
I won't do a dbol only cycle, but I will say my friend gained 15 lbs and kept it on dbol only. Doesn't work for everyone though, I think he's just afraid of needles... pansy.
 
You can keep a fair bit of gains off dianabol only cycle. You may not be able to keep the weight but you can keep the majority of he strength gains as long as your diet and training are spot on.
 
Why don't people read the stickies and excellent articles here on Ology before making a post?
I have a friend who asked me about using steroids. I gave him the URL for Steroidology and told him to READ READ READ!
Instead he goes to this doctor (yes a real MD!) who is, as far as I can tell, nothing more than an expensive drug dealer. The doctor perscribed Test, Deca, and Anadrol--- with ZERO instruction for their use and side effects. No Aromatase inhibitor (AI) either. No mention of cycling. No mention of PCT.
So I get together with my friend a few months later. He's all excited about his gains. But he's having odd pains in his back and legs... Not muscular. As it turns out, he's been taking 100mg of Anadrol for five straight months! The dude damn near blew his kidneys to shreads before I stopped him! I asked him if his doctor told him how to use oral steroids. He said no and simply assumed they were safe because he kept getting more refills (provided by the doctor!)
I asked him if he joined Streroidology, like I told him. Did he read the stickies, like I told him.
"No," he replied, "I just wanna get big!"

I lost everything gains wise, I kept the minor strength boost, its all it was good for, topping 200lbs, then the second I stop taking it, I lost it all.
 
Why don't you "regulars" let this be a forum for steroid info and allow people to post whatever they want? Who cares if it's been asked or if google has search results. Stay calm no-one will ever have more posts then y'all
