Feedback on 24-Week Cycle: Dianabol, Anadrol, Anavar with TRT Base

Pharma / TRT

I’m looking for feedback on a proposed 24-week cycle I’ve structured and wanted to tap into the collective wisdom here. A little about me:

  • Stats: 6’0”, 190lbs, 31 years old
  • Experience: Solid training consistency, currently on TRT (200-250mg Test weekly). Ran a 16-week Anavar cycle from Jan 2024-April 2024 with excellent results.
  • Supplements: Milk Thistle and TUDCA daily for liver support, and I’ve got Arimidex on hand but haven’t needed it yet.

I’m currently on Week 5 of Test blast and Dianabol (50mg); planning to run the following cycle alongside Ultima SuperTest 450 (500mg weekly, split into two doses). I appreciate the results I have gained on Dianabol so far, but am not getting the mass gains that I expected; and feel that Anadrol might be more effective for my goals in this regard.

Cycle Plan

  • Weeks 1–8: Dianabol
    • 25mg daily (Weeks 1–2)
    • 32.5mg daily (Weeks 3–4)
    • 50mg daily (Weeks 5–8) - this is where I am at currently in cycle.
  • Weeks 9–16: Anadrol
    • 50mg daily
  • Weeks 17–24: Anavar
    • 50mg daily

Notes:

  • No PCT planned since I’m on TRT and will continue exogenous testosterone after the cycle.
  • The reason I split Dianabol and Anadrol this way is because I initially wanted to run 25mg Dianabol + 25mg Anadrol together but couldn’t get the product I wanted (it’s been out of stock for months).

Goals

  1. Weeks 1–16 (Bulk Phase): Focus on strength and size, maximizing mass while controlling water retention.
  2. Weeks 17–24 (Finishing/Hardening Phase): Harden and define the gains, reduce water retention, and refine the bulk into leaner, sharper muscle.

Questions I have regarding various topics/concerns

  • Synergy Between Compounds: How well do you think Anadrol will build on the gains from Dianabol in Weeks 9–16? Any tips for maximizing the transition?
  • Liver Management: I’ve got TUDCA and Milk Thistle in my protocol. Is there anything else you recommend for a cycle this long?
  • Water Retention: I’m expecting puffiness from Dbol and Anadrol. Any advice beyond diet tweaks (low sodium, high potassium) to manage this? Will Anavar in the last 8 weeks be enough to reduce this?
  • Cycle Duration: Does a 24-week cycle seem excessive, or would you approach this differently given the compounds?
  • General Input: Any red flags or improvements you’d suggest to maximize gains and mitigate risks?

You should be rid of Anadrol induced edema by the end of the first week if you are keeping your sodium reasonable.

IMO, your androgen binding sites would benefit from a rest (no AAS above TRT). If it were me, I would run an 8 week cycle, take 6 weeks off and run another 8 week cycle, and so forth…

Of orals? Yeah

I think your goals are better controlled by diet rather than oral AAS (or other AAS). Eat more during your gaining phase and eat less during your “hardening” phase. The drugs don’t matter much (besides some water retention).

I don’t use Dbol anymore cos it does the same thing Test does, just worse for you. I’d drop it. Then I’d take the Anadrol before big workouts for the mental boost for 4-6 weeks, then switch to Var for 4-6 weeks. Repeat that twice maybe, so you’ve got two shorter meso-cycles in your one large cycle.

We’re all different tho. YMMV. Good luck

This is a horrible idea.
I don’t think your gonna get much positive feedback on this.
