    So why use anadrol?

    Hey i've noticed how everyone says you lose all your gains w/ anadrol , so why even use it to jumpstart a cycle? if you're going to lose it after taking it, and gain the same amount of weight in the end w/ other substances why even take it. For instance say a guy weighed 180 lbs. and did a cycle with test e, deca , and anadrol and in the end weighed 195 lbs. Say he did the cycle w/out anadrol, wouldn't he put on around the same weight in the end?

    Personally, Brad, I hate aromatizing orals. It seems as though everytime I jumpstart with Drol or Dbol , I can't gain anymore weight after I discontinue it. It's like the rest of the cycle is just spent solidifying the gains made in the first 3-4 weeks...what the hell's the fun in that?!?!

    I know this didn't really help you out any with your question, but I'll throw in a BUMP for ya.

    i assume for the immidiate strength and wieght increase. there really is nothing quite like it. and it will increase protien sythisiys, so to say that abombs don't build any muscle is wrong.

    To jumpstart the cycle.. that's the whole point. Who wants to wait around for 3 weeks to start feeling stronger.. see improved recovery etc.?

    Conversely... you COULD always jumpstart your cycle with test-prop/test-base... but then again i personally prefer an oral. I already end up sticking myself so regularly during the cycle.. why add another injectable?

    Not necessarily... and stop confusing 'weight' with muscle.

    I think if you appropriately 'jumpstart' your cycle you can increase lean gains. Think about it. Without the jumpstart.. increased nitrogen retention does not start til weeks into the cycle. Why not jumpstart and capitalise on it?

    Can I throw a bump here too and throw in another question on this? From what I read you do not use Anti-e during the short cycle of androl because you want your estrogen levels high so you can increase test levels, gain water weight... am I understanding this correctly? If so, are we worried about gyno or fat gain or ???

    bump for the OP answer more.. but let me throw this in.. if you do gain weight (I hear up to 12 lbs in the first 2 weeks) and your strength goes way up would you not build a lot of muscle because of the heavier weights?

    Hope that makes sense.

    I would like to hear the answers to these questions also!
    Plus, is Anadrol a high-risk drug for gyno?? i mean, it doesn't aromatize, so... how is gyno possible?

    i was pretty sure orals are used to jumpstart cycles because of the immediate results as opposed to waiting for the injectable to act, taking however long (5-7 weeks),once your off the oral, the injectable kicks in, so its constant gain.

    Drol simulates the estrogen receptor itself, so an A.I might interfere with its overall anabolic effects. Estrogen lowers testosterone levels not the opposite. If i ever use a bulking oral a want one that can add real muscle tissue bolasterone would be my 1st choice.

    Thank you for the correction I guess that makes more sense as on my blood work last year my est levels were way too high and my Test levels were at a 56 out of 340+ (whatever the levels should be for an old guy like me).


    EDIT>> so is Gyno an issue here for the first 4 weeks of using them and Test E and Deca? with drol and not using an anti-e


    Not familiar with those oral you noted but I will do some reading.

    thanks Big..

    If you're prone yeah gyno would be a problem. I'm not sure what the RBA for anadrol is too the estrogen receptor, if i did i'd have a definite answer.

    anyway the answer to ur post i would say that by gaining strength fast, u r able to push more weight which makes ur muscle grow faster. then u lose water weight, but by that time the injectables kick in to maintain & gain new muscle.. but diet has the key roll w/ keeping gains..

    so if all you want is to gain weight off of a cylce, will anadrol help in the end, or end up the same w/out it in the end?

    I am not talking from experience because this is my first cycle using Drol but I do not see why you would not be able to keep Some weight gain from it but an oral cycle to me seems like a waste. Drol should not be used for more then 4-6 weeks due tot he toxicity on the liver (from what I have read). I am using 4 weeks to kick start a fat cycle...ummm I mean bulk cycle but would never use it alone, not worth the trouble, expense or work to only keep a small amount of gains.

    i used to wonder the same thing, got to grips with it now though. using drol will usually result in alot of water weight, which equates for more strength in the gym, heavier weights lifted, more trauma to the muscle fibers, and then a nice, solid recovery from the increased protein synthesis. so, you can gain a nice bit of beef from anadrol , but, you will lose the substantial water weight after you finish, which will likely play games with your head. orals are a great way to jumpstart a cycle, but i go no longer than 6 weeks with orals, 4 weeks with drol tops. i dont plan on using drol again though, as it made me feel awful and killed my appetite. will be using dianabol for the first 6 weeks of my next cycle

    Why use drol?

    For me drol helped me get over the fact that I hate needles. You see major gains in size and strength very quickly; for example, i went from sqeezing out a couple of reps with 300 on the bench to 6 reps with 315 in two weeks. It made it easier to justify poking myself with a needle.

    The sides differ for individuals. I have never had any sides, other than a mild feeling of being unwell in the morning, as if I'd had three or four beers the night before.

    Drol helps start a cycle psychologically and physically.

    I doubt. Binding to the E.R only could never produce the gains A-50 gives. So it's mostly another mechanism in action.
