Best Use cases for Anadrol and DBol?

[OldManLogan]

Just a newb question as I read through the forums here- regarding DBol and Anadrol- what would be the smart use cases for either of these? I assume they are great to run during offseason/ growth phase in a relatively short cycle to add mass.

Is there a good or smart case for either during early contest prep, say, 12-13 weeks out? Or if you’re in a slight caloric deficit? Maybe to help break a strength plateau?

How do you use either one in your development/ approach?

Was going to order some DBol in case I crash my E2 with my current cycle, and the question kind of popped up in my head.

For me anadrol has always killed my appetite, so i wonder use for the last few weeks leading up to the show. D-bol gives me a very good sense of well-being, so whenever i need to feel that way
If you crash your stro, how about using test no ester? @VICON has a great one

Definitely taking note of that Test no ester idea, thank you!

So if you use Anadrol leading up to a show, do you just pull it a couple of weeks ahead of peak week to remove any water retention..?

Give them to your skinny friends or powerlifting friends

Used them plenty as a powerlifter, especially Anadrol. I haven't used either since switching to bodybuilding in 2019. Since then my only oral use has been pre-contest Anavar, Winstrol, and one time Halo (which was also awesome for powerlifting).

Maybe I'm missing out, but I doubt it. If I was to use an oral in the off-season, it would be Anavar. With high bodyweight, high test, and high GH, I can't imagine adding yet another item that will increase water retention, especially not when there are better alternatives.

Considering your age, goals, and experience - these are one of the last one you should look at

Both are great compounds and each has a place...just depends what your trying to do at that time.

 

[Tomgrass]

For me: an hour before workout- this is when they both shine the most.

That’s kind of the whole point of my question… what ARE their best use cases (in your opinion).

Anecdotally - breaking through training plateau (anyone) or peaking for strength athlete - both. Work capacity/volume/recovery - anadrol used to be called the "work capacity drug'. Being full under heavy diet - anadrol is supposed to shine here. Can't really speak to the last one myself.

Anadrol probably has the widest effective dose variance among individuals that I've seen. Some guys need 100-150mg daily just to get rolling where others get similar at 50mg. Also notorious for appetite issues in some. Got my first bottle of legit Syntex from a college friend whose stomach was screwed every time he took it. Could take all other orals etc. Age brings this on more and more but drol is particularly known for it.

I would say best time to use eather of them would be offseason both are identical to me i get bloated strong and gain water waight and lose defenition i use to love the felling back in the days when all bodybuilders was just bloated. but today nobody thinks your in good shape if you dont have any defenition so i would say if you want to use it precontest it should be att least 10 to 20 weeks out but thats just my body, takes long time to get rid of the water waight somebody ells might get away with it in half that time.

Personal experience and opinion....short form answer.....

Anadrol - quicker to blow up and strength. Lose what you gained about as quick as you gained it.

D-bol - slower to gain than Anadrol, little bit drier look, seem to hold onto my gains a little bit better

During precontest, they can be used for certain individuals strategically at certain points; however, during off-season, the only time I'd consider using them would be pre-workout and only in injectable form and at low dosages. I always found the injectable versions to be much more potent and definitely less appetite suppressants. Even 12.5-25mg of the injectable form can be quite noticeable. Since they can be quite harsh on health markers, limiting them to only pre-workout or even 2-3 times a week on weak body parts for short cycles, would be the only way I'd even consider them.

2x for me. It doesn't matter if I'm taking 6000mgnof Milk Thistle and 1200 mg of NAC, Anadrol always ends up killing my appetite because of how toxic it is.

I love me some Dianabol though. I've never had this issue with Dianabol. It adds a nice fullness without a ton of bloat for me. I also sometimes notice a nice little mood boost on DBol, but that usually takes 7-10 days to kick in when I'm already about halfway through the oral part of my cycle.

They are good for creating liver tumors

Dbol is great if you like estrogen spikes and looking watery

I find anadrol puts water into the right places better, and good for strength. Water retention isn’t as bad as dbol imo, and if lean it adds a nice full look

But both are more powerlifting oriented compounds. I don’t think many people would run these pre contest, maybe anadrol if anything, but superdrol/var/winny/halo/proviron would all be much better for pre contest purposes. If the goal is gaining muscle I’d just stick with injectable only cycles. It took me a while to learn this. They’re a Lot less harsh on the body and digestive system, generally speaking

As i always looked long term i never saw much best use cases for them.

This brings up a point I’ve never really understood regarding gains from orals- I assume you lose the effect of the oral once you complete your cycle - but assuming you keep test high etc., do you lose all the gains from the oral? Or can you keep some of the gains post oral cycle? Because if you can’t keep at least some of the gains (assuming you continue training, diet on point etc)- what’s the point..?

Do you keep any of the gains afterwards..?
