Dianabol (Methandrostenolone)Quick info about Dianabol (Methandrostenolone)
This was more or less the second Anabolic Steroid ever produced. John Zeigler, who was a doctor working with the US Weightlifting Team, began a cooperative project with Ciba to develop an equalizer for US athletes. Dr. Zeigler recommended that athletes take 5-10mgs/day. Incidentally, this is also the dose that Bodybuilders were reputed to take from then until roughly the 1970's. Dianabol is usually found in pill form, though it can be found as an injectable also (Under the Trade name: Reforvit-B, which is 25mgs of methandrostenolone mixed with B-vitamins). It is a 17aa steroid, which means it has been altered at the 17th Carbon position to survive its' first pass through your liver, and make it into your blood stream. It'll raise your blood pressure and is hepatoxic (Liver-Toxic), so be careful with it. As with many other 17aa steroids, Dbol is also a very weak binder to the Androgen Receptor, so most of it's effects are thought to be non-receptor mediated, and are attributable to other mechanisms (i.e. protein synthesis as indicated by the production of muscle tissue with very high levels of nitrogen, etc. which was indicated in the 100mg/day study). Several researches among users of Dianabol shown an overwhelming majority of them were happy with the result gained from Dianabol and usually less than 10% were dissatisfied. Dianabol has been, and will continue to be, one the most popular oral steroids for gaining mass and strength. Dbol is most regularly used for 2 reasons:
In order to kick start a cycle, usually what you do is incorporate a fast acting oral like dianabol (or anadrol) and combine it with long acting injectables (such as Deca or Eq with some Testosterone). In order to successfully bridge between cycles, (and this means using a low dose of AAS, in this case dbol) you need to recover your natural hormonal levels to pre-cycle levels or to within acceptable parameters, and then you start your next cycle. |
