I’m done with orals (40+)

Anadrol still calls my name, sitting there in there drawer waiting for me. What's a little more scar tissue among livers anyway, it regens just fine.

Brother, great job at adding a little comedy in there. Made me laugh

I miss the size, strength, and fullness but like I said it’s not worth it feeling miserable and counterproductive if it affects my appetite.

Yeah, I did like that little extra touch that anadrol added to a polished physique.

It’s like a switch flips once you hit 40 and your organs just decide they aren't playing the game anymore. I remember back in the day being able to pop orals like candy and the only "side effect" was looking like a tank. Now? If I even look at a bottle of Anadrol, my digestion shuts down and I want to nap for three days straight.

It's definitely the body changing more than the gear. Our livers and kidneys just don't bounce back or process that toxicity like they did at 25. That lethargy is your body basically going into emergency mode because it’s overwhelmed. It sucks seeing the young guys at the gym running grams of gear while we’re over here getting "Anavar flu" from a baby dose, but at some point, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze. Sticking to just the injectable oils and keeping the blood pressure in check is probably the only way to stay in the game long term without feeling like a walking corpse. End of an era, man.

I had to retire them also. Damn near every one of them turned my stomach into a lava pit and taking omeprazole isn’t healthy. Plus they turn the oil glands in my face on full blast unlike injectables. However, halo is still in my arsenal and it doesn’t cause those issues for me so I love it.

I never tried halo and I do have some….
Maybe I’m not done yet

This is something that several guys who are over 40 on this board have complained about

Im 48 and the opposite happens to me, big rush of energy, focus and libido even with just 10 MG. 50 will make me bounce off the walls.

Maybe your liver or kidneys have just had too much of a cumulative dose and this is their way of saying no mas.

To be clear, I am not trying to say I have great genetics for taking gear. I got started late at age 39 and havent taken as many orals as many of the members here so my liver is probably relatively OK.

I can relate about to the same as you mentioned. If Im taking an oral, I'll usually take it at bed time and can still get results. Ex: 10mg Superdrol after last meal as it has a decently long half life. Been Years since I've used Tbol and seems kinda tempting since its more common nowadays. Also been years with var as well. Was going to ask how var affects your lipids?

I don't have a recorded blood work with var specifically, sorry. Without that I don't think I can give a fair comparison. Note I never do this high doses popular these days. 30-40mg max.

It gives a unique feeling and icing on the looks cake if already dialed in. Sometimes I just take it on a cruise if I have a special sexy time weekend.

How much do u take?

Anyone that has a hard time with orals, keep an eye out for compounds in transdermals. Surprisingly they work quite well and absorb easier than you think. Helps with a few of the sides that come with most orals.

I can run Anavar at high doses at any point but Anadrol seems to be a little more fickle. If I run Anadrol while I’m near cruise dose I’m fine, and it gives my appetite a small bump. If I run it during a cycle, it’s instant bloat and blood pressure issues. I know it’s not purely an Anadrol issue, I run high doses of test and deca typically. Best guess is Anadrol just pushes me over the edge.

In truth I don’t know if this is age dependent or just the side effect I naturally get. I was a little late to the party started at 45 years old.

 

[Brock456]

I decided to try Halo before being done with all orals. I had some laying around and figured why not.

I just wanted to use it as a pre workout per se and not a true blast.

I did 1 day at 10mg and another day at 20mg. I liked the euphoric feeling, pump, but I was a little underwhelmed by the supposed strength increase. Didn’t really drastically increase any of my big lifts albeit it was only a 2 day use.

Maybe I’ll use again. Maybe not.

But I’m done with all the others specifically drol, dbol, var.

omeprazole can wreck the kidneys which oral steroids already risk damaging so as he mentioned it's not healthy so be very careful with that combo fellas!

Don't wanna hijack so won't be offended if I get told to go start my own thread but someone mentioning tbol (which I like) made me think of it being on a sponsor here's list as an injectable, has anyone had luck with injectable orals?

I tried inject d-bol from an old favorite source and felt like it changed the drug a little for me though it actually reacted more like what most people report from the oral... I get RIPPED on oral d-bol (and inject deca) which seems to be a peculiar response

I remember when everyone was pushing Transdermals and it was awesome. They work great, are safer for you, but are slightly more inconvienient. I might try making my own.

 

[socialdfan]

I can still do them but i keep away mostly

I love winie and anadrol when im ripped though

Is give a look so unique i not know how to describe it

Superdrol i love but i agree i tried many brands and nothing feel the same as beastdrol when was legal

The original Beastdrol was crazy effective but the daily headaches and lethargy were ridiculous for me.

The one released by NTBM?

 

[SWOLESONLOW]

Never have been a fan of orals. But alot of guys swear by them

 

[Poonami]

Haha I had that too. That outfit was a trip. But a couple of his products were actually very effective. He had one called HCGenerate that was fantastic. No telling what all was in it but the shit worked.He made some good stuff but often couldn’t even spell many of the supposed ingredients used lol.

I don’t remember who it was but someone started a major smear campaign on that guy online. It was nasty and personal. My popcorn was ready though.

 

[OldManLogan]

Anavar 25mg as a preworkout sometimes (trying to limit it to 2-2 a week, strategically to support breaking plateaus or sticking points) or Anadrol 50 as a preworkout 1-2 a week lately, again depending on needed tactical goal. I seem to respond well to both.

Bloodwork lipids abd RBC/ hematocrit always in good range so far. I can eat just fine with either one.

I think keeping the dosages reasonable and limiting the exposure some (I train 6x a week, and max take them 4 days out of 6 (1-2 days of each max)) has allowed me to take them well with no / minimal sides or bloodwork impact.

But if i see a negative change in bloodwork, they will be the first thing i pull off.

you guys crack me up.

Once I got in my 40’s orals made me nauseous and killed my appetite. I don’t use them anymore.
