Obro's pics after D'bol only cycle

**Obro** · 03-17-2008, 05:01 AM

Thought I had a responsibility to contribute to this great forum so here's some pics of my results from a short D/Bol only cycle.

There is a lot of snobbery out there about oral only cycles with constant remarks like "should have added some test!" or "D.Bol sucks" or "its only good as a kicker" or "just water bloat gain". I'm sure Test etc.. is fantastic but I really get the shitz with all the dudes that knock D'bol and I hope my post in the cycle results forum will inspire and give confidence to those who only want to do an oral cycle, maybe for the first time.

I won't list my stats or gains here because its all in the cycle results section under the title 'Cycle results for D'Bol only and minimal PCT'.

The first one is before and the rest were about 2 and a half months later 5 weeks into PCT.

Happy Liftin' Dudes!

A Dbol only's not good for all mate. Our friend her is a lucky dude!

**flaco99** · 03-17-2008, 08:49 AM

You seem to have responded very well. What kind of d-bol was it?

**hunkunderconstruct** · 03-17-2008, 03:57 PM

Thanks Guys,

manuf by March Parmaceutical in Bangkok. I think I read somewhere that they went out of business I picked up stock that was still on the shelf. I have a feeling there's still a lot more out there. Drugstores here are like aladins caves from floor to ceiling. 500 x 10mg. I took 30mg ED x 4 weeks + 2week taper down.

**Narkissos** · 03-17-2008, 06:59 PM

Hm.. seems my post disappeared.

Anyway... Looking good mate.

I agree with the lighting but I have never ever shaved. I'll never compete because my knees are buggered so I can't workout my legs very well, so theres not much point in shaving. At 38 I'm a bit old to start that.

**DessertRat** · 03-17-2008, 11:36 PM

insperation.

**Obro** · 03-19-2008, 10:32 PM

These were taken today after back and biceps. The ones in my first post were taken after shoulders chest triceps so I was interested in the comparisons.
I'm still wei***ng in at the same 69.3kgs but my strength is steadily increasing. Looks like I'm getting some love handles there so I'm going to start some swimming for cardio. Good fun with the kids and it's an outdoor pool so I get a free suntan. Its too hot to simply sunbathe 36c and 70% humidity. Can't think of a better excuse to go swimming even though its a 60klm trip.
I had 8 days off because of a neck problem and I think that has effected my size a bit. Heaps of physio (2 girls for 2 hours yesterday - Heaven) and I'm back at it now.
As you can tell I had fun with photoshop.

How long was your Dbol cycle, and at what mg?

**Obro** · 03-23-2008, 06:03 PM

Hi Aaron,
wk 1-4 30mg ed (10mg every 8 hours)
wk 5-6 taper down evenly
wk 7 clomid 150mg
wk 8 clomid 100mg
wk 9 clomid 50mg

I think I remember you said you were going to do 50mg ED?
I'm not sure there's much more benefit from 30mg 50mm except more possible harm to the liver. But I've only done the one cycle so.......

**phenom1979** · 03-23-2008, 06:42 PM

Nice job keeping the gains after a d-bol only cycle, I just gain like 20lbs of water weight on d-bol and then piss it all out a few days after I come off. Nice job though bro!

Thanks Phenom. Can't wait to do the next one. Be interesting to see if I get the same results.

I seem to have a high tolerance to drugs, hence the reason I am using 50mg ed. Why did you taper the dose down? I've heard of that before, but never read why it is beneficial. Thanks for the info bro.

So his Test levels didn't have a a huge immediate drop off all of a sudden.

Makes sense, how come people who use short ester injectibles, such as, Prop don't taper the dose down?

**inky-e** · 03-24-2008, 02:15 PM

i can see the difference,you did good!

**Potbellee** · 03-24-2008, 02:58 PM

Real nice for Dbol only mate! Good work.

**Obro** · 03-24-2008, 04:49 PM

Thanks Guys,
Yes it would be too much of a shock to the sytem both physicaly and mentaly to stop cold turkey when using the dbol alone.

I'm going to adjust my cycle then, instead of 50mg ed for 6 weeks, I'll taper down week 5 and 6. What do you think, week 5: 30mg ed, week 6: 15mg ed, then PCT

**blkmuscles** · 03-24-2008, 06:45 PM

good job!

I tapered down in 5mgs. So the last 6 days looked like this:
6 15mg
5 15mg
4 10mg
3 10mg
2 5mg
1 5mg.

For a really gentle landing.

15mg is still quite high to drop off from (as I understand it) and I think that I read that even at 5mg thats more you would be producing naturaly at the end of the cycle.

Good luck mate.

Oh shit, everybody gonna be running d-bol cycles now. OG pic you have no pump, not shaved and further away. No doubt you got results, when was the pic taken? During cycle, pct or how long after pct?

**Panzerfaust80** · 03-26-2008, 08:06 AM

Good shit bro! Oh I love the 1980's SETI cable satellite dish in the background!!! old skool!!! does that shyt still work or u just use it to make people think ur rich??? haha lol

Hi TRD,

I'm not shaved in the after pics either. Never have shaved and never will. Just the lighting makes it look that way. The before pic was the only only one I have and it was taken at the end of November. I started the cycle on 01/01/08 and finished the taper about the 10th or 12th Feb.

I'd have to check back to my thread in the cycle results section but I think the after pics were 4-5 weeks after starting PCT.

Actually I remember I was pumped in the before pic because I'd just got back from the gym in the unit I rent when I'm overseas and I thought I was big then so I put the camera on the ironing board and set the timer. Not a very good pose though and yes it's further away and darker.

Bottom line is I gained 5kgs. I may have lost a liitle now because I'm doing a lot of swimming but Ive kept all the strength and increased it in most body parts.

I might post more photos in a few days just to keep the record up to date.

hahaha,

Yes it still works but I did have to replace the motor last year. Actually its only 3 Y/O - They're quote popular here. cost about 15,000 thb and that was a waste of money. We have about 500 channels and no monthly fee they are mostly shit and it takes a long time to find anything worth watching. I gave up just after we bought it but it should come in handy for the Tour De France and the Masters and the Open and the Olympics.

Should have just got an HBO system and paid the monthly fee.

**AaronJM1984** · 03-26-2008, 05:49 PM

Interested to see some updated photos

**Obro** · 03-26-2008, 07:55 PM

I just found these ones taken on xmas day 1 week before I started the cycle.
They were from prints so I had to photo them with the digi camera.

Hi Guys,

Ok, a few new photos.

Thought you might like to see my new plates made from concrete with a steel woven rod inside and a steel band around the outside to protect the concrete.

I had to get these specially made by a building materials supplier who had never made anuthing like this before. I think they did a great job.

They are 20kgs each and I have 4 now. It's really hard to buy heavy weights in Thailand and I'm really happy with this idea. Previous to this the largest plate I had was 12kgs and I only had 70kgs in total on the BB so this is a really big step for me.

Abs Photo: All the swimming for cardio is paying off and I'm really happy with my obliques but I need to lose more fat on my lower abs. Also I think I might shave my abs for the 1st time in my life (but not my chest....yet).

I'm very happy with the back pose even though my left Bi looks smaller I think I was just not contracting fully waiting for the wife to hit the button.

Nearly 2 months now since I finished my Cycle so I'm very happy with how things are now. GOD I can't wait to start the next one. All those extra red blood cells and the energy and the pump. I really can't wait.
