Apparently I was wrong about dbol only cycles

[HardHat87]

I had posted on another persons thread where a dbol only cycle was a waste of money and would gain very little if anything. Personally I have not done a dbol only cycle because I am not interested in an oral cycle and have always heard it is stupid to run it alone. Paulo and one other member said that if the cycle was done right a person could have good gains. I ma interested in anyone who has done a dbol only cycle to post their results and what the cycle was. I would still not do it but I want someone to prove me wrong. Thanks.

I ran a Dbol and Var only cycle reached my goals and kept about 9 pounds of great muscle! The 9 pounds really doesn't represent how different I look in the mirror eaither. I also had no sides except some zits on my chest they went away in a couple of days.

Dbol only is just fine. Just don't believe everything you read, and you'll be fine.

I am actually in the middle of a dbol only cycle and so far my gains are roughly 7 lbs, 2.5 weeks in, although Ive only been eating 3k cals a day. However my strength gains have been quite good...7 lbs up on one arm curl and 20 lbs up on bench (just a couple well known ones for reference). Ive had very few side effects except for a few zits on my face but they went away quickly as well. I can post a few pics tonight as well if you'd like.

One odd thing....somehow my bodyfat has actually gone down during my cycle....not sure why?

Dbol only cycles are great, but maintaining the gains takes immediate and complete pct. The only downside to not stacking as in later cycles you will need to take high mgs to get the effects you want and eventually you'd be better off holding back on the dbol dosages and adding some test. Initially though dbol is fine by itself and easy as it comes in timing pct.

steroids are steroids, you dont keep more muscle from one than another, so there is nothing wrong with dbol only, its only the water you lose afterwards, same as with any other drug

I dont liek taking any orals alone. they all suck..alone

My first cycle was Dbol(about 10 years ago..), i blew up on it...had the dreaded shin pumps though, walking for too long became a problem.

Dbol alone was the bread and butter cycle since the 1960s through the 1980's before it got pulled because the amount flowing into BBer's and athletes was likely exceeding the amount used for legitimate theraputic purposes by several orders of magnitude. Remember that it was no big deal for a doc to write scripts back then - anabolics were not looked at as anything special and up until the 1990s the concensus in the uninformed general medical community was that they did not work for performance enhancement but functioned by placebo.

I've run well over 7 dbol only cycles - all of them very successful. I had no idea that gains couldn't be kept or that it was such a horrible choice unless it was stacked with an injectible until I started visiting these boards and laughing my ass off. I'm glad several generations were able to get good gains before these boards pulled the plug on it. I guess human physiology has changed in recent years or the dbol molecule no longer functions in the same way.

In reality the whole gain loss myth is largely propogated because the majority of people running dbol alone these days tend to be newbs. As a rule their training blows and they don't have a clue about much. Longer acting injects have a self tapering built into them. Current wisdom states not to taper orals at all, however, dbol and orals are the drugs that the tapers were originally designed for. Dbol is a fairly potent drug with a very short halflife and you can crash a bit stopping it all at once. Combine this with no experience, shitty training, and bad diet and all of a sudden you have a recipe for someone not able to hold the majority of their gains (even with immediate and perfect PCT, if your program sucks and does not create the stimulus to keep the body at a certain threshhold, you will loose the unnnecessary muscle - this is a pure survival mechanism since muscle is expensive from a caloric maintenance standpoint and a famine tends to kill off those with genes to hold tons of unnecessary muscle and no fat).
