This is more of a bonus result with Dianabol as it is not a true fat-burning steroid. A reduction in subcutaneous body fat is another positive review we will often see. In this case, we’ll see positive reviews about gaining 20-25lbs or even more within six weeks or less. Prolonged use of Dianabol and using it at high doses puts you at risk of long-term side effects and potentially permanent damage to your health. Other short-term side effects can include acne and increased cholesterol. Specifically, I’m talking about bloating or water retention10. The immediate and short-term side effects that Dbol causes are almost as famous as its benefits. You will still want to be alert to Dbol’s side effects and be ready to manage any that appear. Dianabol begins on the third week to give Deca time to kick in, so all the AAS are working together in this awesome off-season combo made famous by Arnie himself. If using Testosterone Enanthate or Cypionate, wait two weeks after your last injection before starting PCT. Gains of 20lbs are well within possibility with this cycle. You can choose any testosterone ester according to your preference, but I usually go with Testosterone Enanthate. Arimidex, dosed at 0.125mg to 0.25mg and taken twice weekly, is often successfully used in this Dbol-only cycle strategy. Dianabol is one of the only AAS men who can run as a sole compound without a testosterone base if you do things properly. Still, a small minority of females are known to take 10mg of Dianabol per day, and this is considered a high dose where virilization is almost certain to occur. You’ll also see a great increase in muscle size, muscle strength, and recovery. And for good reason, these drugs can have life-altering effects on your body and mind so take caution. Testosterone is the base of most cycles as it will convert to Estrogen at a good rate (which is needed for health) and it will still result in some very nice gains. You can use Dianabol on its own because it can convert into Estrogen and will result in some decent gains, and dosages can range from 20 – 50mg per day. Many start with testosterone at 400–500 mg per week. It keeps your body strong, steady, and ready for growth. Sore muscles don’t slow you down as much. Recovery speeds up when you run this stack. This is due to the injection enabling Dianabol to enter the bloodstream immediately instead of having to bypass the liver. As such, 5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride do not reduce the androgenic effects of metandienone. Athletes who experience this type of reaction may find their true level of muscle gain is not quite as good as their scales make it appear. The Dbol cycle below is not something I can recommend in the name of safety. Adding Nandrolone to this stack doesn’t necessarily mean you need to increase Dianabol’s dosage because it is still very potent at low doses. Dianabol is an oral steroid that takes effect very quickly compared with most injectables. One of its primary uses and benefits is as a kickstart compound in a cycle. Acne and bloating are two of the biggest pet peeves, but women who love Dianabol are often happy to deal with the sides to reach size and strength goals.
