D-Bol half life compared to workout schedule

[black sheep]

Do you think it would be better to split your D-Bol dosage 1/2 and 1/2, but rather than morning and evening, take them afternoon and after workoutright before bed.

Would it be better to have the blood concentrations high during your workout and then after your workout while muscle recovery is happening?

If I take them in the morning, and then in the evening, the blood levels during the day are high, but there is no workout or muscle recovery happening.

Just a thought. I wanted to throw it out there and see what everyone thought.

Takes more than a few hours for recovery. If you workout consistently, it will be around the clock, while you sleep, and on off days (hence on of the benefits of constant blood levels). Higher levels for workout increase CNS stim so that's reasonable. You could always take 3 doses - get them as close to even as possible. Look at a 24 day, your schedule, your dosage requirements, and break them up for convenience and effect.

I was thinking of 30 mg a day, with a split like so:

20mg 3 hours before workout - Puts highest concentration at workout time. Then 10mg 4 hours after workout keeps blood levels up during sleep (Muscle recovery) time.

Would it be beneficial for the highest blood level to be during the workout hour?

Thanks for your input!

Read this thread, it covers exactly how dbol works in detail along with some calculations to give you an idea of what the short halflife of the drug does. Note that there is a huge amount of misinformation in this thread because people seem to have no qualms about posting 'grapevine' style information but pay attention to my posts as I just got done explaining this. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=366221

My advice - break it up 3 times per day into 3 10mg doses. Try to make it as evenly split around the hours of the day as possible without interrupting your sleep schedule too badly. If you can arrange the schedule so that one of your doses is 1-2 hours before your workout, so much the better but don't drastically compromise the time factor for this.

If you want to make your own Excel spreadsheet or do a calculation, make rows for every hour of the day. In each column place the mg content for each dosage (3 columns for 3 times per day). Use a halflife of 4-5 hours, so 4 or so hours after a given dosage the amount in the body is cut by 50%, 4 hours later that residual is again cut by 50%, and so on. For the hours in between just use an average to find the decrease in each hour for simplicity (i.e. 10mg at 12:00 to 5mg at 4:00, over 3 hours you metabolize 5mg to arrive at the residual - that's 1.66 per hour so at 1:00 you have 8.34, at 2:00 you have 6.68 and so on). In a final colum sum up each of the dosage colums and you will have your dbol blood levels for each hour of the day. Make it a line chart, if there are large swings and variations (there will of course be some degree because you are not on a perfect drip or anything) that's an indication of an issue. For fun, use your 30mg broken into 20mg before workout and 10mg 4 hours later against 3 doses of 10mg at 8:00, 2:00, and 9:00 for example (not perfect but at least reasonable). The graph and numbers will quickly show you why what you are suggesting blows.

LOL - I was just curious, as I am not real familiar with D-Bol. I see why my idea blows..

I am going to run 10mg 3 times a day my next cycle, 7am, 4pm and 10pm.

That should keep my blood levels fairly consistant, and will give me a good concentration at my 6pm work out hour.

It's still a good exercise to do and fairly worthwhile (or just look at the numbers I put up and estimate).

I think under this plan you will do well. FYI - it can be tough to sleep on dbol for some. If you have to you can bring back the 10pm dosage a bit depending upon how it affects you and how late you tend to stay up.

I agree with madcow, break it up evenly throughout the day

I think that it just depends on how you want to use it. I am going to do it that way also. At 9:00 am, I get up at 6:00, that way my levels are still high from the night time. Then twice that at 2:00, 3 hours before I lift. I would rather have the highest levels before I work out. I am also taking Sust, so the short acting esters in it will be going with the d-bol, right? Then when the Sust really kicks in week four I will be done with the d-bol and it will have served it purpose, to kick start my cycle. Is this right?

Thats what I do.

I don't understand why you think you will have high test levels at night. Your natural test peaks in the early AM but that will be suppressed due to steroid use. You will have your baseline sust (which isn't a great baseline for people who don't inject either every 3 weeks <HRT> or at least 2 and preferably 3 times per week). For simplicity, we will assume the sust is constant. You will still have a very significant dbol deficit overnight. I suggest using excel or doing the math by hand that I illustrated above. It becomes very clear what is happening once you have a graph or just eyeball the way the numbers work out. This isn't rocket science, it's basically just division by 2 every 4 hours and filling in the blanks between with some estimate.
