First off, YES I've read the stickied thread.
No, I'm not planning to do an oral only cycle, and if I were, then definitely not the typical one.
I have some questions that I have on my mind:
1, I'm an athlete. I don't care about getting bigger. Of course, I wouldn't mind getting stronger, and since bigger and stronger go hand-in-hand (at least to a certain degree), I guess getting bigger would only help. But my point is, that getting bigger is not my primary goal.
2, I have problems with recovery, but I need to train a LOT. For some reason, I've always been lucky concerning injuries/joints, but I can tell that if I keep training as much as I am right now, I will get sick. I don't know why, but that's what always happens when I train too much, too frequently - I get a cold/flu. If I start training a lot, I will probably start getting injured more frequently too. Of course, I sleep and eat enough.
It's gotten better, as my work capacity has improved throughout my training career... but recently I have an opportunity, in which training my ass off will very likely provide good outcomes in my future. It's just something that I think is worth it, but I need to be able to train more without getting sick.
3, I feel like that I'm at a point where I will need some enhancements for my recovery.
Currently I just take a lot of ibuprofen and some pills for immunity prescribed by my immunologist.
I've spent minimal time so far, researching steroids, as I'm under the impression that they could definitely help me. Just this day really, so I know very, VERY little.
So... First I thought of a dbol cycle only, but after the stickied thread, it doesn't seem like a good idea at all. Some points that come to my mind though:
My goals are very different, the main thing I care about is improved recovery/immunity.
It also seems that the old time bodybuilders did just fine with dbol only. Of course as it was stated in the last page, they were nowhere near today's standards. But they did fine.
It seems that with test, I will get myself into a one very long time period of being on/off. I will need to dedicate time to PCT, I will have to watch whether everything is fine, and overall there will be a lot of things I'll need to take care of and watch. And even if I do everything correctly, there's a chance that there will be some negative, long term effects that I might only notice when I'm much older than now... or something like that. It just seems like a big risk.
Of course, if I will want to be the best in my sport, I will have to do this at some point, - but right now, I'm not at a level, where I think this would be adequate - if one day I'm a world class competitor, sure, I won't care whether I fully commit to being on steroids or not.
I would like to avoid this. For these reasons, I was thinking of something like:
150mg test weekly, for a very, very long time (not going off for say 3 months)
or
10-20mg dbol daily (again, daily, for say 3 months, or even longer)
I can already see the replies like "dude, if you're gonna do this, then do at least 300mg, otherwise you're not gonna end up with any results, shut down, and you won't even retain any muscle you build with that"
- To those - so even when you consider my very different goals than the normal standards here, it would still not make any sense?
Sorry if something doesn't make sense, this isn't my first language.
