What to Swap and AI

[Cylon357]

- Would you suggest taking out the dbol, changing the compound for kickstart or recommend something to keep the water weigh off a little?

I wouldn't run dbol in any circumstances. It's unfavored these days as it doesn't really have a unique attribute that another compound doesn't do better but with less side effects. It's not the safest in it's class, the best for growth, the best for body composition, or the best for strength.

- Given I did not run AI in the past and suffered no estrogenic sides, does this mean I will also not suffer estro/gyno sides for this/future cycles?

No, but it makes it less likely. I would just run test as high as you can handle without getting side effects and skip the orals or "kickstart"

What would you suggest in its place? Because that dbol strength is real for me!

Havent tried dbol....simply because I havent been lean enough yet. But at my leanest, I did anavar only and loved it. So not sure how much better dbol is compared to var, but man I got strong on var....of course alot of that went away after cycle.

I do have a stash of dbol though....maybe ill try it out someday.

It's not quite right to compare them like that. Each one is an aas, but their mechanism of action, sides, and usage varies. Tailor you compound selection to your cycle goals.

I know you know this, just putting it out there for someone who might not.

After reading through this and seeing all the suggestions people gave. I've got a question.

Realistically, what are you hoping to accomplish from this cycle? And don't say "recomp."

Are you looking to put on more muscle? Trim down? If both, which one is the more pressing issue? Are you looking to put on strength? Endurance?

Having concrete, realistic to attain goals will help make your research on what your cycle should look like a lot better. You should be trying to achieve your goals while minimizing sides and risks.
