ugh, I have a headache from being on another AAS forum where there’s an abundance of child-like adults.
Anyways. I’m flattered you asked for my input here, but I’m going to leave all of the real knowledge sharing from all the smart people.
I have no experience with Adrol, but I do with dbol. At the time I used it I was younger and just blindly followed what my buddy told me. I front loaded my test cycle with dbol for 4 weeks @ 50mg/d. Got a lot of strength gains from it though and ate a lot more. At that time I wasn’t really methodological about it like I am now though.
From everything I read, Adrol is better for strength gains. Adrol is going to be the next oral I run. but that is a while from now, and I’ll probably make another thread like I did with my test/npp/oxandrolone cycle.
Good luck I am interested to see how this turns out for you.
Well, it was my first real cycle ever (with 500mg sust). I was 185 skinny-fat after lifting for 5 years. Told my boxing coach and he said ‘I know what you need’, came back with the Anadrol & test.
It was awesome, strength went up starting in the second week, ate 3500 cal, blew up to 232 lbs by the end. Lots of water and some fat, some muscle, lost most of it cos I didn’t know anything about PCT.
Like I said my first cycle, never did bloodwork or checked anything, got that good first cycle response, wish I could’ve held onto more of it
IMO, this is just because it gets harder to add size the bigger you get (newb gains vs advanced gains type of thing). I haven’t seen any data that suggests the receptors get fried or anything.
That is bonkers. How much just in the 4 weeks with Anadrol?
Yeah man, my friends were like ‘what the hell are you doing?’ Lol. An old ex said I looked scary. I didn’t check my weight weekly or anything during the cycle or just during the first month. This was 14 years ago, and I remember getting down to 185lbs for my job (long story) before starting and then being 232lbs at the end fo the cycle.
Knowing what I know now, the Anadrol probably just gave me that instant boost while the Sust was building up. So instead of waiting 3-4 weeks for that to build up you get the gains during the first couple weeks.
If you wanted to add that to just a TRT dose of test, I’ve done 25-50mg of Var with my TRT and gained a bout 1 lbs a week and kept most of that. So with the Drol let’s say maybe double that? Might give you an idea what to expect
High dose test has me thinning and receeding. Thats why ill probably avoid it next blast. Seems the hair line is my only issue with AAS. Everything always seems to be in check.
I’d love to comment but I don’t have any experience with anadrol. You’re still on self prescribed TRT correct? Orals kill my labs so I can’t really run them without freaking out my docs on both liver enzymes and cholesterol values. If you don’t have that concern and tolerate them well it’s worth a shot.
Very few people can run orals without demolishing lipid panels. Rather the majority who use them tend to not get bloodwork when on orals. Cholesterol bounces back pretty fast.
Some like @iron_yuppie seem to be able to get away with it, for the majority one anadrol-50/day will drop HDL down to the low teens/single digits and increase LDL by around 50%.
Personally, I have opted to completely eliminate orals on any blast. Instead I just up the test. 10 weeks of 750-1000 mg test, is better than keeping your cruise dose/trt dose of test and adding a shit ton of orals. In terms of gains, quality of gains, maintenance of them, and side effects, etc. I also rarely buy into anabolic ratios comparative to test (unless we’re talking tren). Taking 50-100 mg of drol a day ( used up to 150 back in the day) will definitely help slap some size on you and aid strength gain, but it is nowhere near as effective than a higher dose of test over the long run, or a moderate to higher dose of test PLUS the drol. Of course, this is all just anecdote based on my own experiences. Since ideals and goals change as we age, I tend to err on the side of test for cruise, maybe some provirion in there as well, and then multi esters of test for blasts at a good dose. If adding anything in a blast, it would be moderate dose of masteron, or low dose deca.
