Do you mean why do you need a test base with it?

What does it mean that Dbol is "test-based"?

it needs to be ran with a "test base". It should be ran with a form of testosterone, as should all cycles.

[3863]

Dianabol is from the group of androgens that are derived from testosterone.

(i know what you are pointing toward)

but no, actually my question comes from something jimmyinkedup wrote* about the different kinds of steroids, dht, 19-somehting, etc.

brb, ill look it up i dont want to misquote anything.

[BigMan65]

here we go:

Test Based- First on the list would be Test based steroids. Examples of some of these would be D-bol, Testosterone, Eq, T-bol. These steroids are exactly as they sound, they are all based on testosterone.

Check out post # 4 that's what he's referring to if I'm not mistaken... Still needs a test base along side it(as all cycles do)... But it's derived from testosterone like mentioned(hence its heavy aromatization)...

[kelkel]

BigMan basically all steroids are derivatives of testosterone like 3863 referenced, with their chemical pathways altered for a desired effect. With dbol it's at 17th carbon position where it's altered to allow it to pass through the liver.
