Let's pool our knowledge

[ericahls]

Hey Bros,

I thought it would be helpful if we all shared our experiences with the various compounds we have used. It would be nice to have in one place a general consensus about a particular steroid, the pros and cons. This would be especially useful to newbie’s looking to expand their understanding how roids affect us and for more experienced users, a useful tool to help them pick a new compound.

Please only comment on the steroids that you have intimate knowledge of.

Remember, the more experiences reported, the more relevant this info will be.

Anadrol 50 (Oxymetholone)

Pros:
I have never gained as much as I did on this roid. Without question I was the strongest and biggest I have ever been using this.

Cons:
The only steroid that made my hair thin out. I would wakeup in the morning and find strands of hair on my pillow.
Got really bad acne on my shoulders and back. I became very puffy, bloated.
Lactated. Started my gyno.
Became very aggressive.


Equipoise (Boldenone)

Pros:
Very few sides.
Slow but solid gains in muscle.
Great vascularity.

Cons:
Sporadic hunger pains. Tend to go off my diet more.
Takes a long time to kick-in.
Not a very dramatic change in size or strength.

Winstrol (Stanozolol)

Pros:
Very solid and lean build can be achieved.
Strength increase very noticeable.
Few sides.

Cons:
Joints start to feel sore. Makes you worry about going heavy.
Feel worn out and tired if I go above 60mg/day or stay on for more than 4 weeks.

DBOL (Dianabol/Methandrostenolone)
Pros:
Unbelievable strength gain in a short period of time.
Very inexpensive and accessible.
Great to jumpstart a cycle.

Cons:
As with any c17, should only be taken for a short period of time.
Causes my blood pressure to increase.
Gyno and water retention problems.

Testosterone Suspension

Pros:
Short half-life, good for drug tests.
Immediate strength gains and equal increases in mass.
Most powerful injectible.

Cons:
Water-based test product so frequent injections can be painful.
Gains are great but difficult to keep.
Estrogen build-up and bloat.

 

[khemix]

Trenbolone Acetate
Pros:
Kicks in in 2 weeks usually.
Extremely intense pumps, but usually never painful.
Helacious vascularity, never seen anything like it before.
Thermogenic. Makes me sweat easily and shed fat, even while bulking.
Very big strength gains.

Cons:
Night sweats can be annoying.
Increased aggression.
Light acne occationally.
Have to shoot every other day.

I'll post more when I've got more time. Keep in mind these are from my experiences, they differ some.

I'm curious, which mod stickied this? I wanna give you some karma. And I think we should change the name so it's more directly to noobs by the title. This could become a great thread so lets keep it going fellas! K+ to you Ericahls.

[The Terminator]

Anadrol
Pros:
Massive RAPID weight and strength gain
GREAT for QUICK size
(My PERSONAL favorite oral)

Cons:
Alot of puffiness and water weight that makes one smooth out too much
Gives me puffy nipples (while on it)

Anavar
Pros:
Mild nearly side effect free
No antiestrogens needed

Cons:
Expensive
Minimal overall returns for ALOT of money invested

Dbol
Pros:
Quick weight and strength gains
Works well with an AI
Inexpensive

Cons:
TOO MUCH water weight producing a pronounced bloated look
Gyno...
An Ill, flulike lethargic feeling

Testosterone:
Pros:
INCREASED SEX DRIVE (that's THE BEST THING ABOUT IT )
Good weight and strength gains
Inexpensive
Readily available from any source
Works well with an AI


Cons:
It makes me a damn sasquatch (too much body hair growth)

Deca:
Pros: NONE, FUCK DECA
Actually, it does make my sore elbow feel ALOT BETTER

Cons:
It messes my libido WAY TOO BADLY
Sides harder to control than test derived drugs
Mildly Expensive

EQ:
Pros:
Vascularity
Slow steady LEAN MASS gains
(Besides Test, EQ is my favorite injectable )
Mild on androgenic sides

Cons:
Some users get exacerbated anxiety (I occassionally get it while on EQ myself)

 

[iHulk]

Sustanon 250
(Propionate, phenylpropionate, isocaproate, decanoate)

Pros:
Great cycle for a newbie
Blend of four testosterone components
Incredible strength and mass gains
Once a week injections (oil based)
Sustain gains after cycle
Get tons of boners and have incredible sex drive
Highly anabolic and androgenic
Aromatizes less than other testosterones. This tranlates to a lower risk of gyno and will tend to not give you as much of a "puffy look" as say testosterone cypionate or enanthate would.

cons:
Little back/shoulder acne (but not always)
there is some bloating but comes down after cycle
sex drive decreases a lot after cycle: returns to normal though
some irretability

[cboogsrun]

Test en:
Pros: When front loaded very quick gains in strength and size. Increases focus and intensity
Cons: Bloated terribly from frontloading, body hair, easily aggitated

Winstrol:
Pros: keepable gains, injects super quick
cons: Painfull injections soreness, joints, price

Deca:
Pros: Hated deca ended up cutting short because of errection issues even while stacking with test
Cons: Everything

Dbol:
Pros: Can't really think of any Need to try different kind besied bionabol
cons: Didn't notice any difference in gains from just using test by itself

Tren en:
Pros: Vascularity even when being bloated from test en, 20lbs of strength gained a week on major muscles
cons: price accessibility

 

[FknKnuckleHd]

A50
Pros: I got strong as hell
Cons: The bloat was horrible, gyno, I had flu like symptoms which affected my workouts.
The verdict: I wouldn't take it ever again

Test en:
Pros: Good strength grains, sex drive went through the ROOF!, good gains in size.
Cons:Some bloat but, bloat that I can live with and it takes a few weeks to kick in.
The verdict: I love it and it has a place in everyone of my cycles.

Deca:
Pros: Good strength gains, good mass gains, very little if any bloat so with Deca I can gain mass & strength while still keeping my definition. It works wonders on sore joints.
Cons: Personally I have yet to find one
The verdict: It too has a place in everyone of my cycles.

Dbol:
Pros: Great strength and mass gains, it kicks in very fast and works amazingly with Deca even at low dosages(20-25mg ed). Price.
Cons: acne, bloat and gyno.
The verdict: It has a place in my winter cycles

HGH:
Pros: Burns fat, great for my tendons and joints.
Cons: Price, its very fragile.
The verdict: I would not take unless it was free......it is, for now at least. You'll see better results from taking a cycle of Winstrol for 12 wks than a 4 month cycle of growth @ 4iu's ed.

Tren/ Finaplix:
Pros: GREAT strength & mass gains, burns fat, good definition, price.
Cons: I've been known to hurt people while on it, injections are taken everyday and I hear it's toxic.
The verdict: Its great but I can't do another cycle until all the scare tissue heals from my last tren cycle. I'm a sales rep and its been know to effect my interaction with my clients.

Eq:
Pros:
Cons: Its very simular to Deca but only weaker. So why take it when you can take Deca. I never saw anything good from Eq.
The verdict: I'm sticking with Deca

Test C:
See Test-En

Winstrol:
Pros: Great definition, you gain lean quality mass, its water based so a 27g needle works fine, its a site specific type of steroid.
Cons: price and the ed injections(you can drink it but I guess I'm too old school for that)
The verdict: Its one of my favorites

Insulin:
Pros: Dirt cheap, works wonders when mixed with growth.
Cons: It can kill you....enough said.
The verdict: I would only risk it if I'm taking growth and even them I only use it on the days I workout @ 8-10 ius after my morning wkout.


Nolvadex:
HCG: They are a must to have for your PCT
Clomid:
