Methandrostenolone / Methandienone (AKA Dianabol) Common Brand Names: Naposim (Romania), Pronabol-5 (India), Anabol (Thailand), Methanabol (BD), Averbol 25 (BD) Doses: 15-50 mg (tablets) 50-150 mg / week by injection Taken: Mainly oral, but injectables available Chemical Structure: 17 beta-hydroxy-17alpha-methyl-1,4-androstadien-3-one Faked: Yes, widely. Available doses: 1,2, 5 and 10 mg, 50mg tabs or 25 mg/ml in 10, 20 and 50 ml vials Dianabol was produced in 1956 by John Ziegler. It has been used from the first Mr.Olympia Larry Scott, to Frank Zane, Arnold, and Sergio Oliva all the way up to today’s champs. It was so popular its slogan was, and is, The Breakfast of Champions! The original Dianabol was withdrawn from the market in the last part of the 1908s and since then all Dianabol on the market has been generics, some being just as good, some being downright rubbish. It has remained so popular because it works and it works fast. It promotes protein synthesis, glycogenolysis (repletion of glycogen stores after training), improves appetite and dramatically increases strength. Side effects Water retention and gyno is a common problem, especially on high doses so treatment such as Nolvadex or the highly overpriced but more effective Arimidex is recommended to keep gains solid and to stop you having breasts. Aggression comes into play so care must be taken if you already have a short fuse. Acne will affect those prone to it and you may notice an increase in body and facial hair. Whilst hair grows on the body those prone to hair loss will notice this may get worse with Dianabol. I guess it comes down to what you want more, hair or massive muscles. Propecia is of little use because Dianabol converts very little into DHT (dihydrotestosterone). To make the product orally active it has an extra carbon atom at the 17th carbon position of the steroid molecule. It can go two ways here, Alpha or Beta and the most effective has been to switch it to the alpha direction so we have a c17 alpha alkylated. Now you know what that stands for! Because of this it hits the liver pretty hard and this gets worse the higher up the dosage scale you travel. However it has been noted that liver values return to normal pretty soon after the product is stopped. Liv 52 or similar is a must and keeping doses sensible is another.
Doses Larry Scott said he used one Dianabol tablet a day and the guy was massive for his time but the common dosage with the average bodybuilder is 20 – 25 mg. This is enough to give excellent results whilst keeping side effects in check, or at least to a minimum intensity. It stacks very well with Deca-Durabolin and in fact Sergio Oliva was quoted as saying something like “if you don’t grow on Deca and d-bol you won’t grow on anything!” Doses are always a personal thing. Some people can and do grow on one 5 mg tablet, but these are rare. Others feel little effect unless they take 50 mg. The key is to always start on the lowest dose and then work your way up to see what works for you. If you start on the highest recommended dose you have to step into abuse the moment the body stop responding. If you start sensible you have room to move within the realms of tolerable doses. The half life of Dianabol is very short. Five hours max. Now traditionally we are told to divide the doses to combat this problem and keep blood levels steady instead of see – sawing up and down. However research shows that taking the daily dose altogether gives a better peak blood level and also has shown to hit natural hormone production less. I guess this is another piece of tweaking that only the individual can choose. What time of the day also comes into play. Testosterone levels in men peaks around mid-afternoon, so it makes sense to have the dose early in the day so that the product lifts the bodies anabolic and androgenic environment and gives you a good amount of time to allow it to work on the nutrients taken. Another study showed that training further reduces blood concentrations of Dianabol. Therefore an extra dose after training on training days may be beneficial. Another traditional method is to pyramid the product. How this became popular I don’t know. You often end up using more tablets (remember many authors either past or present actually sell or did sell the stuff they write about so I guess people using more tablets means they get more cash) Research shows that this method is not as effective as starting on day one with you maximum dose and following it for the period of time of your cycle. Then you just stop. Ideally you have also taken another product such as deca which will still be in the system when d-bol leaves it. Therefore you get a natural taper from the deca or other mid-range acting product. Either way just stopping has shown to assist normal hormone production to get started quicker. If you reduce the dose what reason does your body have to really crank up natural production? Of course subsequent anti-catabolic and hormonal restoration products should be used after you stop d-bol such as continuing Nolvadex and using HCG. Again, sounding like a broken record here, but this is something you will learn to adjust to your personal reactions to the products you take. Tablet Strengths It amazes me that the experts on the internet still proclaim that Dianabol only comes in 5 mg tablets. The original did, but now we have other options going as high as 50 mg per tablet. However prices pretty much the same for 100 50 mg tablets as they do for the equivalent 5 or 10 mg. British Dragon (Methanabol) has proven of late to be spot on. Some people panicked when the tablets appeared thinner and a slightly different shade of pink. This proved to be a false alarm as BD was producing the product at a new production site. Until they prove otherwise I would stick to BD and no I don’t sell the stuff! So does the Russian (METAHAPOCTEHOROH) and the Rumanian (Naposim), although beware of Napo at giveaway prices. The 10 mg of Methanabol proves to be more bang for the buck than the 50 mg at least that’s the feedback. No legit generic contains only the chemical names of d-bol other than the Russian and Mexican Ttokkyo products. There is also a blue heart shaped d-bol still doing the rounds from March Pharmaceuticals. Its 10 mg and is called Dianabol DS, but this proved to be very weak when we tested it coming in far less than 10 mg. Anabol from Thailand has got many people taken in over the years. 1,000 tablets in a tub seemed like too good a deal and it often was. Good riddance to that product. The best injectable at present is Averbol 25 from British Dragon and Ganabol is sometimes a good buy for the USA market who likes to travel to Mexico
