D-Bol (dianabol)..........

Felt_Rider

I certainly no longer condone the use of gear, but I did use for competitions over a 10 year period. I started with "real" dianabol back in the early 80's because it was the most common oral steroid on the black market.

I have been away from the scene for quite a while now, but there was a long period that d-bol was a highly counterfieted drug. Most on the market was fake in the 90's.

If you are going to use gear it is best to have a plan established before taking or making the first injection.

Know how long you want the cycle to run and have in your possession the necessary items for post cycle like the estrogen blockers and/or HCG.

IMO - taking half a tab of d-bol is very little and "typically" will have very little impact both negative or postitive. You may get a little water retention and because of the water retention you may seen some strength gains. Intramuscular water retention creates better leverage during lifting which is seen from in stronger lifts.

It is also important to know that using a little could potentially lead to using a lot later down the road. I started with d-bol, but by the time I qualified for the NPC nationals years later I used over 6 different drugs during a 20 week cycle to win my last competition. Most were injectable. If you had asked me in 1982 if I thought things would get out of hand I would have boldly said no, but things did get out of hand and I eventually not only used but I was also a dealer and came close to being arrested. Present day I stay far away from the scene.

I agree with everything Steve has posted.
I agree that with everything available d-bol is one of the poorest choices.
First, it is an oral and orals have a shorter half life, are more toxic to the liver and more difficult for the body to assimilate.

On your first cycle it is best to be careful with using d-bol as opposed to Winstrol (injectable) or Primabolan. The reason why is you don't know how your body will respond. I have met a number of guys that have the embarrasing gynecomastia which is not fatal by any means, but you will be embarassed to take your shirt off. Again I doubt that you would have a problem with half a tab, but who knows. Even with the amount that I used over the years I never got gyno. Side effects vary from person to person.

For me it was cystic acne, violent out burst, post cycle depression (which I almost committed suicide back around 1985 weeks after coming off a cycle.) Just letting you know because being aware of these things is important. If you are aware that depression can hit you will be mentally prepared to face it. Depression is a very common side effect, but typically happens with much larger doses and stacking.

Just thought I would throw in a few things to consider. I hope it is useful.
