I have opted to do a series of short cycles since I have to keep this on the DL, and I only care about making steady progress, not getting swole all at once. I am planning to do this with Dbol although it was said that the bloating can make it obvious.
I understand that Dbol is hard on the liver, but is it that hard over the course of 2 weeks? If you go 2 weeks on, 4 weeks off, does the damage accumulate or will your liver values bounce back? Would you take a liver support for a short cyle?
You are not likely to build much lasting muscle with dianabol ran for 8 weeks, let alone 2 on 4 off (i am familiar with the protocol).
It is a big mass drug, lots of water which increases your size and strength like a mofo. GHowever water doesnt stay and post cycle the real gains are revealed - and they are not only very disappointing compared to the raw size you thought you had built, they are apparently not too good even in the grand scheme of things -
I remember reading one of the roberts’s articles suggesting it was about as muscle building when used alone as appreciable amounts of Oxandrolone… I can believe that from what i have experienced of dbol alone.
Now, i think when added to deca or another class II sted, the anabolism is much improved.
Now, which class II could you use for your cycle plan? i think you need to put some work in…!
As for your post (why is it that people manage to ask the wrong questions?) and its original query - no. It is unlikely that if your liver is naturally healthy to begin with, that it will be affected negatively.
No other toxic drugs used (alcohol of course) and no more than 50mg of dianabol used a day - and if a first cycle i recommend 30mg.

I actually understand that most of the gains are water and I’m OK with that. I get that a short cycle will not build much mass. I figure if I got .5 lb of muscle a week naturally, then I could maybe double that with some help.
Basically what I’m trying to do is recover some mass I lost over the past year. I used to weigh over 200 and I got there perfectly naturally. I’m at 175 now and much leaner, but I know I have lost mass dieting. My goal is to get back to 200 but at a faster rate than naturally. It just doesn’t need to be that fast.
Preferably, it won’t be because I don’t want my family asking questions. They actually grilled me about roid usage when I got big naturally. A standard 12 week test cycle is out of the question.
I would prefer to do Oral Turanabol or Anavar truthfully, but those seem to be much more expensive.
Gains not too good in the grand scheme of things? What does that mean? Relative to other products or relative to staying natural?
