I'm too new to the world of steroids to be certain of this, but is there like a pattern of trends? Or is it simply progression of science and knowledge? D-bol definitely seems to be down on the majority of peoples' choices of gear..and Tren is definitely in. I've only run two cycles thus far, neither of which has included tren so I can't attest to its merits..from what I've heard, it is unbeatable and I'm going to run it in my next cycle. I have run d-bol in both of my cycles and I like it. I ran it at the beginning of my first cycle and at the end of my second cycle, and I think it's a great tool. D-bol only cycles are definitely terrible, but I think d-bol is good to add to any test-based cycle. Yes, the instant gains are almost entirely water weight..but the strength gains and pumps are valuable for muscle building. Assuming you're lifting hard and heavy, isn't it definitely worth it? I find that it also gives me a psychological boost...though i'm not sure if this is a chemical effect or if it's the artificial gains that get me going. I'm just bored and got to thinking about this..any opinions would be cool.
