Ok basically it's up to you for there is no one way to do it...If you are taking under 25mg ed then you can get away with taking them all at once and still gain nicely. If you are taking 30mg or more you definitely want to break them up like 10mg every 4 to 5 hours and you will see it work the same. The sides are not based on how to take them but rather the dosages. I chose to take them all 1.5 hours before training because I was only taking 20mg ed and still gained 8lbs in 14 days with serious strength increase. This time however I will break them up because I'm increasing the dosage to 30mg ed and also want to see if I notice a big difference
Quote from "Anabolics 2004":
"The half-life of Dianabol is only about 3 to 5 hours a relatively short time. This means that a single daily dosage schedule will produce a varying blood level, with ups and downs troughout the day
The user likewise has a choice, to either split up the tablets during the day or to take them all at one time. The usual recommendation has been to divid them and try to regulate the concentration in your blood.
This however, will produce a lower peak lood level than if the tablets were taken all at once, so there may be a trade off with this option. The steroid researcher Bill Roberts also points out that a single-episode
dosing schedule should have a les dramatic impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis, as there is a sufficient
period each day where steroid hormone levels are not extremely exaggerated. I tend to doubt that hormonal stability can be maintained
during such a cycle however, but do notice that anecdotal evidence often still supports single daily doses to be better for
overall results. Perhaps this is the better option. Since we know that blood concentration will peak about 1.5 to 3 hours
after administration, we may further wonder the best time to take our tablets. It seems logical tat taking the pills earlier in the day,
preferably some time before training, would be optimal. This would allow a considerable number of daytime hours for an
androgen rich metabolism to heighten the uptake o nutrients, especially the critical hours following training."
