Dbol only for strength

**Teras** · 01-13-2008, 08:39 PM

Hello All.
Nice to be participating. I've hung around for a while and learned quite a bit from your posts.

I'm 5'10 240lbs (~15%), 27yo from cali. I've done a couple of good cycles in the past. Test + dbol /var, Test + var/halo. Were very happy with the lean mass gains. My raw maxes are 500 squat, 400 bench, 550 deadlift. The goal is to improve strength as much as possible (although I don't compete) and I've read it's not uncommon for powerlifters to run oral only cycles. How keepable the strength gains are from a dbol only cycle in your opinion? I also have winstrol on hand (as well as nolva and liver protectants of course). Thank you

Not yet I will certainly in a few days. Just wanted to get some opinions on the boards first.

whats the longest/safest length of time a person can run a dbol only cyle?

**admirals56** · 01-13-2008, 10:46 PM

forever if a doctor is present and you can run it untill you see signs from liver problems like yellowing of the skin but dont go longer then 7wks

Wow... until you see discoloration of your skin?!! Bad advice man.

Yellowish discoloration of eye will be earlier and even this means that the liver is not able to handle bilirubin meaning its function is deteriorating a big time and that's not exactly what we are looking for when we are taking Dbol ...

Go 6 weeks Dbol maximum for health sake!

Avoid hijacking and start a thread of your own please. The question is How much strength can you keep from a dbol only cycle.

True. But I'm not looking for an exact figure here or anything. Someone mentioned half. I mean as long as the net gain in the end is superior to what I could gain naturally in the same time frame. I can live with it.

**nowdenlid** · 01-14-2008, 09:42 AM

i have seen many people do oral only cycles and afeter they finish they lose all gains because they stop working out and eating as hard as they did whilst on cycle .

imo i think if you keep up the lifting and food intake you will see some gains after pct but no were near as much as an injectable cycle....

Sure I definitely will. I'm going to do 40-50mg ed for 6 weeks.

if you want to have a strength only cycle, why not run halotestin .

you've ran proper cycles before, so i fail to see why you would want to run dbol only.

There is no exact answer, and there is no estimate to be told. Sorry bud

Please, I beg you, stop making up information that has little to no merit. Its not funny and eventually you may put someone's health at risk. You admittedly have ZERO anabolic experience, yet you hand out advice like its your job. I have asked you to stop doing this in other threads, yet you continue. Next time you will be reported.

I've run halo, it was amazing for hardening, but strength wise I felt it was equal to var.

Well I have nothing against adding test, but I don't really care too much about mass, so if I can get decent and mostly keepable strength gains without test, I can live with it. I guess I will just do it and see how it treats me. If the results are not good enough, I will add test cyp next time around for sure.
