i think that dianabols bad name comes from the newbies using it - the guys that add 10lbs of bloat and walk around like heroes, train like shit, eat like shit, dont do pct, and are motivated to use dbol because they dont have to inject it
imo as a drug, its not bad, though more care has to be taken in dosing it properly, im not a fan of such low half lives in a long cycle, and also, im not a fan of what it does to your liver (for some people)
also, im not a fan of people using it to "pre load" on a cycle of longer acting agents
in my experience (as a non roider who knows many, many roiders and their cycles/results intimately) dbol gets decent results. one guy in particular has only ever used dbol ('pinkies') and has one of the better physiques i have seen - large and lean, at a hieght of about 6' he must have 17.5 inch arms that are ripped. unfortunately for him, he doesnt work legs, and so looks like he will fall over if he walks around a corner too fast
as for the rest of the guys, well, they gain on it, but because their diets are so crappy, they just look like big pieces of chewed bubblegum. strongish bubblegum, but still, bubblegum
