dbol vs abombs (article) and using both at once

The Great Oral Debate: Anadrol vs. Dianabol
By Gavin Kane

For many years, a great debate has raged over which oral is superior for mass gains, and two of them have stood the test of time; dianabol and anadrol. The debate has continued, arguing which of the two is superior, yet no conclusive evidence has proven one better than the other. People respond to each one differently, some swearing by dbol and some swearing by anadrol. Before we declare one the winner, I am going to go over a bit of history and chemical structure on both products.

Anadrol (oxymetholone) was first made available in the 1960’s by Syntex. It is very effective at increasing red blood cell production and was promising for treating severe cases of anemia. With the advent of newer and more advanced drugs such as Erythropoietin, which have less androgenic side effects, Anadrol was discontinued. New studies in AIDS/HIV patients revealed Anadrol was particularly effective at reducing wasting symptoms so it was re-released in the late 1990’s.

Oxymetholone is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, which in theory means it should not convert to estrogen. Since it does not aromatize but still causes gynecomastia in some users, there are other pathways by which it converts. After looking at studies on AIDS patients, I found that it may convert by actively activating the estrogen receptor, so this is a product that would need an anti-estrogen such as Nolvadex.

Dianabol (methandrostenolone) was first made in 1956 by John Zieglar of Ciba fame. Dianabol has been one of the most popular oral steroids of all time, exploding in popularity in the 1970’s with bodybuilders and football players and expanding into all avenues of athletics during the 1980’s. It somewhat waned during the 1990’s with the steroid control act, but was hot again in the early 2000’s with reproduction in mass quantities by Mexican labs and underground labs.
Methandrostenolone is a derivative of testosterone and hence will convert to estrogen. Gyno will be a concern for sure, in almost all users, whereas only less than 25% have problems with Anadrol. Again water retention will be a problem, usually due to the estrogenic properties.

Both products will have similar androgenic side effects, which include; acne, water retention, oily skin, male pattern baldness, and increased body hair growth. Both drugs are c17 alpha alkylated, therefore liver protection will be necessary, especially when combining the two.

So we come to the premise of this article, Anadrol vs. Dianabol. Why, the great debate over which product to take? They work on different pathways, have similar side effects you will have to combat, and both are liver toxic. So why is there a debate over which is better and which one should you take? Well, as I stated earlier, different people have different responses to each product. Many people, including myself, find high doses of Anadrol to be too much to handle in trade of the results you get. With this product, I have an extreme loss of appetite, massive water retention, and overall aches and pains and headaches.

On the other hand, when I take Dianabol, I get a general sense of well-being, good but not great size gains, and the ability to keep eating. It sounds like I should keep taking Dianabol and drop the Anadrol, right? Wrong. I get massive male pattern baldness from Dianabol, which I do not experience from Anadrol. I have an increase in blood pressure levels at doses that are high enough to match my gains from Anadrol, and I have to shorten my cycles because of the massive dosages I take to get good gains. So in all, I get some side effects from each that I would like to avoid, while still retaining the great benefits that I can only get from each product.

Anadrol is well known for its ability to cause massive size and strength increases, and as we all know, a stronger muscle has to become a bigger muscle with enough calories to feed it. Dianabol gives me large, quality muscle gains without as much water retention as Anadrol. So what is the compromise? Do I take one during one cycle and then the other product during my next cycle?

The answer is no to both. There is no need to short change yourself gains in either department when you can have your cake and eat it too. I am not alone in my assessments of both products. Most guys have similar issues of massive water retention, headaches and loss of appetite with Anadrol, and MPB and fewer gains with Dianabol comparatively. So, the best thing we can do is decrease our dosages of both products to cut down on side-effects and take them at the same time to increase the benefits.

My recommendation is to take both products in lower dosages but for longer periods of time. Dianabol has been found to work much better for quality gains when taken in lower dosages but for longer periods of time. High doses have severe side effects in some users, a loss of all gains with cessation of the product because of the short cycle (4-6 weeks) and most of the aforementioned side-effects.

Your dosages will be cycle history dependent but when I was at the peak of my career, I was taking cycles of 200mg Dianabol for 6 weeks per cycle, or 250-300mg Anadrol per 6 week cycle. In later cycles when I decided to combine the two products together, I was able to drop my Dianabol use to 50mg per day, and my Anadrol use to 100mg per day and because of the synergistic effect of the two products combined, the effect was similar to high doses of each but with none of the sides. There is something very synergistic when taking these two products together with just a simple cycle of testosterone and deca-durabolin.

I would run my Anadrol cycles for 8 weeks at that dose and my Dianabol cycles for 10 weeks at that low dose with no liver toxic effects as proven by my quarterly blood tests. I did not have to take liver protectants, but I recommend them for most users. I no longer had to watch my blood pressure, my water retention was minimal compared to earlier cycles, and I was able to continue eating massive amounts of food because I did not experience appetite loss from a massive dose of Anadrol.

I highly recommend on your next bulking cycle you try the following: A base cycle of test and deca, add in the Anadrol and Dianabol mix, and some Nolvadex. You will be able to control your water retention, liver toxicity, and other side effects by controlling your dosages. Your doses will vary from mine, but just adjust accordingly and run them for longer periods of time. You will be amazed at the simplicity of this cycle and yet the synergy is un-describable. Your gains will be far better than you have ever had when taking each product alone, your side effects will be less than if you were to take either product in higher doses, thanks to the different biochemical pathways. Everyone already knows that test and anadrol, and deca and dbol are very synergistic. Now combine all four in a cycle and watch yourself just blow up.

Crib Notes:
Why debate? Use both!
Personally preferred (past tense) 50mg Dbol/50mg Adrol ED, with injectables.

from ur experience does it really take away the sides when both combined? did u get severe bloat?

Powerbuilder333,
I am really curious if taking both minimized your sides as well.
 
50/50 eliminated the constant headaches I'd get from 100mg of Adrol.
Bloating (if you mean water retention) comes with heavy androgen use IMO - not just orals.
I would use injectables and then add the orals to finish the cycle while peaking for a powerlifting meet. Once I realized I wasn't prone to gyno I stopped using all anti estrogens. I'd check my blood pressure and heart rate frequently (always slightly high, and faster than normal), never got in the danger zone = above 150/100 BP and 100 resting HR. What I consider danger zone is my opinion only, and I'm not a doctor.

Did you notice more quality gains with that combo and also, what injectables and dose did you use in conjuction with the reduced oral combo?

Oh Lordy. When You're shotgunning several types of AAS, at high dosages, it's impossible to analyze the effects of each mg.
I don't feel comfortable listing the specifics. I don't want to come across as recommending the dosages I used. My body handled that last cycle. Four months after that I went and had blood work done. My test levels were still below normal, and my cholesterol was still higher than normal. All else was normal.

My opinion is that it's better to use several types of 'roids then an equal amount of just one. As far as I know, my opinion is NOT backed by science.

I think it's important to be honest and thank you for admitting that things still are quite kosher with your levels. Also, from what I have learned from my friends who are long time users, they agree with you in that it is better to mix compounds at smaller dosages to elicite a synergistic effect which in turn creates the same effect as a larger dosage of a single compound with less sides.
Just curious, is that you in your avatar Power?

Yes. Picture was taken August 9th of this year. LOL. I don't look like that every second of every day though. Picture is legit (cropped, but no touch ups). I trained shoulders and upper pecs, supersetted arms for high reps, while wearing a neoprene sweat wrap around my waste. Then my training partner took maybe 20 pics. Two came out good, IMO.
 
I wouldn't run Dbol and Drol together - if they were free of charge!

My head would explode! 150/100 resting BP is in the RED ZONE. :eek2:

You are very lucky... I also would NOT recommend such a toxic cycle

Half C; I respect your opinion, and appreciate the advice you share with us, but...
I had my BP checked by a nurse on the 8th (need an MRI on my knee) and it was 140/80. I was told this was "normal". I've read that 120/80 is "normal". I've been told by a doctor (Dr. Corey Brown - Las Vegas) that a diastolic (small #) of over 100 requires monitoring/medication, and the systolic (big #) is less of a concern.
Is 148/95 (hypothetical) that much worse than "normal"?
I have a BP/HR machine at home, and I've never had a reading of over 150/100 - regardless of how many grams of gear I was using.
I doubt you'll find to many gear uzers that consider a combined usage of 100mg of 17α-alkylated steroids ED for the last 8 weeks of a cycle as particularly toxic. For me I know for a fact that my liver and kidney values, and PSA are normal now - I didn't check "on cycle".
If 50/50 gives you headaches then lower, alter, or eliminate the oral(s). For me 100 mg Adrol gave me headaches, 50/50 didn't.

I Do!!! I'm pretty cavalier when it comes to oral AAS and liver issues.
You couldn't pay me to run a 50 Dbol/50 Drol combo.
Don't think it's safe at all. Maybe some other gear users agree.

Recommended therapeutic dosages of Anadrol:
Adult Min/Max Dose: 1.0mg/kg/5.0mg/kg.

From: http://www.medscape.com/druginfo/dosage?drugid=6459&drugname=Anadrol-50+Oral&monotype=default

For an adult of my size that equals 140mg ED minimum. I don't personally recommend that high of an amount. Actually I don't recommend that any one use AAS outside the law/medical establishment. I merely speak of my past experiences, and the results of those experiences.
No need to shout Bro...

Not shouting, bro. :) But YOU are 6'6" 310. That's huge!

You could handle an elephant tranquilizer dart! :lmao: There's no problem.

I'm just addressing your comment that most gear users would not have a problem with mixing 17-a-a's. I think most would, that's all.

Power B is a fricken GIANT! I head to yell that out so he could hear me all they way up there sheesh LOL.
Seriously though, My at rest BP is usually around 117/68 and HR is between 90-100 (it's always been that fast though). That's really a trip to me because before I started exercising this heavily (and using da juice), I was at about 135/90 with the same HR. I was also smoking over a pack a day so that might have something to do with the drastic drop.

What would you guys say is a healthy range for someone who is 5" 9.5" and weighing 280 at 18% BF. My weight is not too far off from PB333 but my height and body composition is a lot different. I did a 4 weeker of A50 at 50 mgs and didn't feel shit. Got a little bit leaner and stronger but no noticable bulk.
I was thinking of doing a 50/50 dbol/abomb split for 4 weeks concurrently with Sus 250 2x's/ week along with human grade Deca 200 2x's/week for a total of 12 weeks along with some Proviron at 50-100mgs/ED for the last 4 weeks to help out with estro issues. That might be started earlier depending on water retention. Another option would be to substitute Sus for Prop but that would mean EOD pinning and I am not to fond of that idea.
Any thoughts Needto, PB333, .5Cent, Nelson, or anyone else outhere in EF-land?
 
Damn powerbuilder!!! dbols and a-bombs together are pretty rough on the liver. However, as someone of your caliber already knows it's not safe, but you do it anyways. You got balls. Sometimes that's good. Other times that's bad. You look great, but I gotta take a stand with halfcenturian on saying that mixing the two is like vodka and redbull, it may seem like a great mix but it'll fuck you up. Just my 0.02
 
To Lookinfit75:
Not a fan of short acting esters (prop).
I loved to mix Omna's with Test E (250/250) for a total of 5 ester Test. Can't say this is any better or worse than Test E only, or Omna only - just something I liked to do...
Not a fan of short cycles either. Just as the gear is kicking in you stop using. Plus for strength training you don't want your muscles to strengthen disproportionate to your connective tissue. So slow and steady progress is the way to go IMO...
Tried Proviron once, long ago (pharm grade) - didn't notice anything good or bad.
You might try some cardio to lower your resting HR, and drop some body fat - if your not already. Excellent BP!
I've never felt comfortable giving advice, because of all the variables involved - everyone but identical twins will react differently to the same compounds.
I am comfortable relaying my past experiences.
I preferred to start my cycles with a low total dose, then ramp up the dosages once I stopped responding to the previous level. My highest dosage of gear would be the final weeks before a meet.
 
My recommendation is to take both products in lower dosages but for longer periods of time. Dianabol has been found to work much better for quality gains when taken in lower dosages but for longer periods of time. High doses have severe side effects in some users, a loss of all gains with cessation of the product because of the short cycle (4-6 weeks) and most of the aforementioned side-effects.


I will tell u i agree with this, made ridiculous quality gains on dbol at 25mg/day for 6 weeks i wanted to extend it, was told wouldnt be a good idea, but now i wish i did :(. to bad i gave them dbols away they were great.
 
To Half C, Needto, Alcatraz:
I had no idea so many experienced vets would feel that way about a 50/50 dbol/adrol ED regime.
I honestly felt that a 50/50 would be much safer than 100 of either alone. Or maybe its the 100mg ED that you consider dangerous, more than the 50/50?
Noobs; Always error on the side of caution!
 
I am not against a 50/50 mix. I do 60mg dbol on avg myself. I just wouls not tell a newb to do it and I would not advice doing it an longer then 4 weeks. When I do my 60mg dbol its only 6 weeks. If I am going longer I will lower it. 100mg oral 17aa fro more then 4 weeks is really pushing it for an one. You really have to protect yourself on something like this.

My job as a mod is to keep people safe and I hope people know this.

I've done 200mgs of anadrol 50 a day bro. I just thnk it's a bad idea for n00bs to do two orals at once. It's too harsh IMO. They will look at you and see a guy who knows his shit with an awesome physique and think it's ok. That's my only issue with it.

Gotcha.
From a picture you can't see the 19 1/2 years of blood, sweat, and tears that came with it.
 
Understood and once again, thank you guys for your honesty.
I am curious then, if the mixture of two orals is too much, then which one of the two would you lean towards and at what dosage? Like I said in a previous post, I've tried abombs before but only at 50mgs per day and for 4 weeks and I have done a total of 3 cycles in 3 years.
PowerB,
I understand all too well the problem with muscles out growing conective tissue as I am going through a problem with my shoulders as a result of what I believe is a big spike in strentgh in my chest ande legs. I can bench 405 lbs for reps (almost two months after my cycle to boot) but my shoulders are starting to hurt as a result of the poundage. I am having the same problem with my shoulders when I do squats (585 lbs for reps as well). Do you have any advice to help correct that? I am just going to have to go down in weight until the weaker areas catch up? Maybe even lay off of certain exercises till that magical day comes? I've tried not touching my chest on bench and that seems to be helping somewhat but being that I am not accustomed to stopping that is bringing up a whole other set of issues. Namely stopping weight abroptly in mid-movemeny.
 
Swimming is the only sure thing that relieves my shoulder pain - well aleve and ibprofin helps also.
Shoulder pain when squatting I think indicates a lack of flexibility in your shoulders. Swimming would be a great help there IMO.
Altering your elbow position when benching might help avoid some shoulder trauma. I find that keeping my elbows out (near right angles) and touching the bar at mid pec level causes less shoulder/elbow pain then the way the best benchers do it - with elbows tucked near their sides and the bar touching on their upper abs.
Also training the rear delts and rotator cuffs is crucial.
A zillion people will say deca is good for the joints. I say deca is good for size/strength, but never done dick for my joints. Different people = different results :)
Good luck.

Thanks PB333. I'll try the swimming and I've been stretching more and more so let's hope that kicks in eventually.
So I am curious, why are you not in favor or the shorter esters like Prop?

Financial and convince. I apologize if my attempt at cohesiveness fails. I need 9 hours + sleep tonight, so I took 2 Xanax, 2 benadril, and 1 ambien.
Before gear grinder 100mg of UG prop would cost about $5 per 100mg, and you'd have to shoot it every 2nd or 3rd day. So lets say 300mg of test prop costs you $15 per week, with a rapid drop off in results after that week.
Also before gear grinder you could get HG Omna 250 for $5 per 250 mg ampule. So for that same $15 you could shoot 750mg of test, with substantial effects running into the next week.
Basically you get twice as much Test for the money, and it lasts twice as long. Now if your running a 12 week cycle of prop I doubt you'd ever exceed a total of 200mg prop in your system at any one time. Now if your running a 12 week cycle of Omnas, it wouldn't take long to reach a 500mg + level of test. Omna is going to offer you the longest amount of time to remain in a anabolic state. Simplified explanation - I know!!!
Here's a link to a steroid calculator. I hope it verifies my opinions on long versus short esters: The Roid
Good luck. I'm done for the day :)

My goodness that should knock out an elephant haha. I gotcha about the cost effectiveness and now I understand the blood level factor as well. I am not familiar with Omnas so I'll have to do some research. The only thing I have access to is Sus, Prop, and Cypionate as far as Tests are concerned so if I want to use a long lasting compound I guess my best bet would be Sus right?
 
Ah you gotta love the internet. Just found out what Omnadren is and it's a cheaper form of Sus with a slightly different blend ratio.

My first run of Test(HG Enanthate) I started at 250 mg EW, and worked up to 500mg EW. It was a Test only cycle.
If you can get Cyp from a doctor then that would be my first choice by far. It's also has a very long acting ester, it'll just take a bit longer to kick in. Omna's generally are cheaper priced than Sust for the same thing. Lately I've read of some counterfeit Omna's, but that's a risk of anything you buy black market.
