D-bol over longer periods

[olympia]

Have any of you guys ever ran D-Bol over longer periods than say the standard 4-5 weeks ? Im talking in the range of a few months 3-4 or so? Have read a lot of articles on old school guys doing 30mg per day for long periods of time but not sure how true this is. How safe would this be on the system of clean eating non drinking person? Whats the longest youve ran it for and how did you feel it affected you.

I've run it at 30-50mg for 12 weeks straight.

My piss went brown, eyes went yellow, back got full of acne and was itchy as hell, I had crazy headaches from the blood pressure... that made me angry as hell at times.

I ate clean and didn't drink much (I think I remember I had the odd drink on weekends).

Never again. 3-4 weeks is all I do now - even that's harsh really but hey it's all about how much you want to get big. Are you prepared to trade health for size is the question...

Dbol size is mostly water retention anyway really... I do find it super useful for building strength tho so even tho it doesn't really give you much keep able gains... the strength gains help you build good gains that will translate into size.

Don't do 12 weeks of Dbol at that dosage... crazy as. Liver failure recipe.

Idw, your BP would be the same at week 12 as it was at week 4 if you just ran dbol at same dose all way through. It would only get higher in the later weeks if you used long estered injectables.

Dbol at 10 or so mg per day can be run for months, this is a cheap and convenient way to bridge between cycles. To run 30-50mg per day for that long and not use anything else is not something I would recommend as there are many better options. And if your planning on running other compounds with what you asked it's just overkill IMO.

Agree

The question is why do you want to?

[train hard]

i don,t see the point unless you are going to do an oral only cycle which is pretty oldschool and a pretty shit option when you can just pin yourself im also wondering why you want too ?

That's not a good thing tomsammce. The effects of high blood pressure are cumulative over time. The longer blood pressure remains high, the more damage done. Where did you read about long estered injectables doing that in conjunction with Dbol usage... have you got a source? Not saying it's not true... just wanna know where you read that.

I've never tried bridging with Dbol... but yep that's quite a common method. That does assume that you're on all the time (i.e. blast/cruise)... so Olympia, don't go that route if you're on/off cycling... your endogenous test be constantly suppressed.

Thanks for the replies guys. Really it was just a curiosity thing as i like the feeling of being on the D-Bol . The added water weight gave me awesome strength gains and was just weighing up some options like test and dbol over 12 weeks or so. Thought id ask the experts first.

You could run Dbol for the first and last 4 weeks of a 12 week cycle along with 500mg per week of Test E. I've done that a few times with impressive strength gains by the end. On one of those cycles, I came in fresh after a long break... At the start I was inclining 100kg for 10 reps then by the end of the 12 week cycle I was inclining 140kg for 10 reps.

I think it's a great idea... because it's impossible to train balls to the wall for 12 weeks straight and running Dbol (at common dosages) for 12 weeks is also not good.

The cycle goes like this: 4 weeks of hard-out blasting, then the next four are spent recovering from Dbol yet still working out super hard but a bit less on the intensity and volume and with the goal of maintaining and solidifying the strength gains, then the last four are like yippie kay yay mother f*cker bring it on.

In the early days I used to run it for 10-12 weeks at a time working up to 50-60mg/day. Asides from a bit of acne and the water retention I never had any issues, that was with the old pink Thai 5mg dbol. Back when it was cheap as chips.

Have run anapolon for 10 weeks at a time as well and never had any issues. Up to 200mg a day for 10 weeks at one stage with test suspension and super test every 3 days, bloods were a bit high at the end but not more than if I had a drinking bender so my dr said.

Don't use it now and don't do courses of anything that long these days but I think it's individual how your body reacts to it. just your bloods done and keep an eye it as your going.

If anyone reads Harry's post above and does do a long cycle of Dbol... then yep you better keep an eye on the sides and don't just push through if you feel like shit. And do get your bloods done... Dbol can land you in the ER if you're not careful - http://forums.anabolex.com/archive/inde ... 50748.html

True IDW, I wasn't trying to be irresponsible I was just saying what I had done. Hell lots of guys from that time did exactly the same thing. Not the smartest in the world but I never had any issues myself, nor did any of the guys I knew. Other than acne and bloat.

Just thought I'd add 10 -12 of the old pink D-Bol / day is NOT equivalent to the same number of the new stuff, most of which is a legitimate 5mg I'm told? My flatmates back in the day lived on D-Bol, and had a few batches tested. All ranged between 2-3mg per tab.

I'm sure YOUR bloods would have been DEFINITELY worse after a bender........ you remember what a 5 day Samoan bender is like don't you Harry! :pfft: :grin:

I have run 10mg a day for 2 months after a cycle. I felt it did help maintain what I had. If anything, it ensured I remained keen to train.

I also used it like IDW mentioned, beginning and end of a cycle. If I had a stash again, I would wait now till I got to the 2/3 mark of teh cycle before taking it. I am not interested in frontloading. But I am interested in the boost I get form it when I am well into it.

If you're doing that it's not after a cycle... that's blasting and cruising. All this bs about bridging etc... you'll remain suppressed on 10mg Dbol a day so in effect you're still on cycle just low dosing.You're either on or your off.

Mainly saying this so that fellas here who want to do a cycle don't fall in the trap of thinking they're recovering their hormonal system when they cycle off but continue low dosing Dbol... that's just wrong and not how it works.

no one said bridging between cycles would allow your natural levels back to where they would normally be.

i was just pointing out that is one way of using dbol over a long period of time which is what the thread was about.

[severe]

and I used the term 'off-cycle' when I shoudve said:

In between never coming off, I take DBol, but just until I start injecting again.

Sorry Tom, how I worded my post up there did sort of come across as an attack on u eh. Didn't mean it like that... well kinda didn't. :pfft:

Yep good point. I might try cruising with Dbol one day actually sometimes I'm really sick of the pin.

Reason I pointed out the bridging then was because I've read up on the forums about it a bit over the years and most people that do it seem to think they're on/off cycling... which is exactly what it not is.

That's what I was picking on.
