    Skipping Days

    Well, I jumped on some dBol - it feels great as a preworkout for me - I can really feel it kick in at an hour after taking it

    Some days, I’ll do 50 - some 20-25mg. . . But, today I straight forgot to take it

    How is this on the body? Shoot, I don’t even see the point of taking it on off days - or, if I didn’t take it before working out


    Seems like a positive to me, I don’t see more being beneficial for the organs

    My strength is insane either way(I’m pushing PR’s on the regular), but when I do take it before it is a bit noticeable


    Thought I’d ask to see if anyone has some input

    For maximum benefit I’d say every day is best however if you are using for pre-workout it should still work pretty well skipping days just not optimally.

    It’s really not too hard on the body. I’ve done what you’re doing at different points with dbol and more times with TNE/Test Suspension. We all strive to have stable hormone levels which makes preventing stuff like gyno easier however, the human body naturally fluctuates levels to some degree… your natural testosterone is peaked as soon as you wake up for example. The few hour fluctuation I think is fine. It’s not the same as loading a gram of testosterone once a week to where it’s way out of balance for days on end.

    It’s funny that you mention this. I am testing Something similar. I am taking anadrol 4 days a week. Theoretically, this should allow me to take it for a longer duration so I will be taking it for almost twice as long as I usually do.
    I never take orals on days off because the 1/2 life is so short, I can’t really see the point.
    If there is a flaw in my thinking, let me know.

    Any orals? Would that not be dependent how long it takes for it to show effect? Thinking of Anavar etc……

    I would just take into account the 'initial loading dose':

    If you were to take Anadrol on Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, then when Tuesday comes back around you need to bump up the dose again (so you would take a 'loading dose' every Tuesday).

    This will be hard to calculate though as I can't find the half-life for Oxymetholone anywhere on the internet.

    AMMENDMENT: Actually a handful of websites say Anadrol's half life is 5 - 9 hours

    I will take a loading dose on oils but have never done it on orals because the 1/2 life is so short I would be taking a shit load which may overtax my liver.
    At least that is my thought process.

    I was being a little pedantic. If the half-life of a drug is very short, for example less than 12 hours, then the loading dose won't be much bigger than the daily maintenance dose. I haven't got the equation and calculator here, but it would probably be something like:

    Tue 70mg
    Wed 50mg
    Thur 50mg
    Frin 50mg

    I will frontload deca. I take 2x the amount on the first day and by the end of the week I am at the dosing levels. Any other way, it would take like 3-4 weeks to get to the dosing levels.

    I think it won't allow taking it twice as long, because dbol won't clear out of your system fully in those 3 days when you're not taking them, so your body, especially your liver, still can not recover. But that's just how I understand it.

    I also don't see any point in not taking them on off days, except if used for pre-workout purposes. If you use them e.g to gain muscle, why would you not use them when you recover and actually build muscle tissue?

    Let’s say the 1/2 life is 5 hours. If I take 50 mg, after 24 hours I will have about 5 mg. I, theoretically will not have any in my system after the 1 st day.
    Even if I had it in my system, it would not be going through the liver.
    My thought process at least.
    BTW- you stated Dbol and I am talking about anadrol although the statements would be the same for either.

    Struggling. I competed and took 1st in two categories. I took some shit for testing cancer and it fucked me up for my next competition. I just looked terrible.
    I officiate football and pulled my groin, almost back to normal and pulled it again. Just starting back this week- no pain but still some swelling.
    On top of working 60 hours a week, I officiate 4-6 football games a week and one full day on Sunday for wrestling…… and going for a masters in kinesiology.
    I see you have been keeping out of trouble. Keep fighting the good fight!!!

    I see now. I take orals throughout the day e.g 10mg every 3-5 hours, not once, so that's why I didn't understand your pov.

    This sounds like the way to get the most out of em, due to short half lives - just taxing af on the organs

    This makes a lot more sense than taking it every other day or 2 days on one day off. With 4 days it seems you would get a nice sustained period of anabolism then 3 days off would be a nice break on your liver/kidneys.

    I have been toying with the idea of doing anavar 50mg 2 weeks on/1 week off for 3 months as the third anabolic in my upcoming stack.

    Im just scared to do 50mg ED for 3 months straight. I believe the damage from orals is cumulative, while they are a valuable tool I dont think Liver values tell the whole story. I dont have the link , but I saw one medical paper stating that liver fibrosis can occur without elevated labs.

    I work in medical imaging, we were doing a paracentesis on this alcoholic. He said he quit drinking a long time ago and that he didnt develop cirrhosis until 5 years after he had quit.

    I can care less about “building more muscle tissue”

    I just want to maintain what I have as long as possible

    Another slippery slope I suppose,

    I’m cutting cals like no other & I think I’m the leanest I’ve been in a looong time

    The one shot intake gives me a solid pump, then it’s out of my system - how I figure

    But, breaking em down into let’s say 10’s totally makes solid sense

    I don’t have 10’s - even if I did, I’d never remember to take em right

    I love 10mg Dbol as a preworkout. I dont even use DBOL as primary or secondary anabolic , just strictly as a preworkout/mood enhancer. In this context it makes sense to skip days.

    But there was a thread recently about taking anavar on and off whilst using it as a secondary anabolic, this style of administration doesnt make much sense to me.

    ^ ugggggh

    This is what I was actually thinking about earlier after reading the thread - I think I’m gonna bounce back onto Var, instead of dBol

    I pulled back my booze just a bit ago - I still have a drink here & there - but, my organs are getting taxed - between my BP meds, antipsychotics & roids - I don’t know if my body can process enough milk thistle & Liv52 to offset my med use

    What are u really asking here? How is it for your body if u forget dbol as pwo a day?

    U know what, i really think your liver, BP, triglycerides etc migth do perfectly fine wo it. Wouldnt worry one sec about that.
