HI all, how are you? My name is Antonthy 29, 57 160 ibs and I am at the end of my second ever cycle consitsing of d-bol at 30 mg a day (started may 28th) and armidex 1 mg every two days. I had planned on taking test anavar and ment with it, as i had done a cycle of test Rad 140 and Andarine a year ago but ended up just taking d-bol.
As I have tolerated it quite well and have not progressed as much as i would like, ( ive gained maybe 6 pounds look a tiny bit bigger and lift 15-20 pounds heavier in compound exercises) would be interested in adding another compound and extending my cycle another month whilst adding another compounds as i haven’t gained all that much, i thought perhaps halotestin or tren? what do you all think?
It looks like have been taking 30mg/day of D-bol for about 8 weeks.
You said you gained about 6 pounds.
That is a good gain rate. If you were “off cycle” as much as you were “on cycle” that would be a gain of 18lbs per year. Of course, you will be unable to sustain a 6lb gain per cycle, not to mention the loss that occurs during “off cycle.”
Here you need to manage your expectations and weigh risk verses reward.
What are your goals?
I would not recommend typically extending cycles. My philosophy is frequent cycles and not lengthening cycles. That is, at least as much time “on cycle” as “off cycle.”
Really? OP has already done his first cycle. Those are easy gains. So now, just by eating more and focusing on heavy compound lifts he can gain as much weight as he did on 30mg/day of D-bol.
It isn’t like he wasn’t doing compound lifts. He made 15-20lb gains in compound lifts those 8 weeks.
Granted OP didn’t indicate if the weight gain was all lean, but you didn’t clarify what kind of weight gain he would have without AAS. I suppose he could bulk up 6lbs in 8 weeks just eating more. But who wants those gains?
Disclaimer: I am not encouraging the use of AAS, but at the same time, I am not going to dismiss their muscle building potential.
We don’t know what he got out of his first cycle. We only know what drugs he took. We don’t know the length or dosage.
We don’t know what he was doing. He didn’t post any of his numbers, programming or technique. For all we know he is squatting 10 inches above parallel.
We don’t know what his starting numbers were. We don’t know if he’s talking about his 1rm or 5rm. I’m guessing he is not a seasoned powerlifter and hasn’t maximized his potential before starting this cycle; especially at 154lb bodyweight. Adding15lb in 8 weeks to the compound lifts is sub-par, even for a natty. If he went up by just 2lb per week (which is modest) for 8 weeks, that would give him 16lb.
The OP wants those gains. He was 154lb before starting this cycle. He doesn’t need drugs. He needs proper programming and food.
He ESPECIALLY doesn’t need halotestin or tren, which he pointed to in his original post.
We all know steroids build muscle. But so does good programming and food. Don’t you believe that the OP should concentrate on optimizing his performance and building a proper foundation instead of filling the shortcomings of a lousy diet and bad programming with AAS?
Because I have enough to go off of in the OP’s original post to know that he hasn’t milked even 50% of his natural gains and judging by his first two cycles, and the compounds he suggested to introduce, I’m willing to bet that he doesn’t have a clue to what he is doing.
If the OP isn’t inclined to include any of the above information that we don’t know, I’m not really interested in asking, since it takes way too much time and this isn’t a paid consultation but a free-for-all forum with various opinions flying left and right.
