when i use dbol it will be 30mg ed for 4-5 weeks to kick off a deca test cycle, i certainly would not use dbol alone, trying to maintain those gains would be quite difficult. i just did it at 60mg ed because doing it at 50mg would have left me with a few extra tabs, so i said fuck it. i would have been fine with 50mg ed but hey. i said this earlier i believe you would need to run var at 100mg ed to yield the type of gains that i got, strength might be a little more attainable with that high var dose, but i still don't think you would put on the mass i did with tbol. i am a super hard gainer, winny only put on 1 or 2 lbs though i noticed good strength gains. so 7 lbs in 23 days is awesome. also var is not gonna kick in by day 6-8 like tbol, var will take two weeks mnimum for the difference to be noticed. this is much more effective imo if you want quick results, no sides. no gyno, acne, the only thing as mendo said, (i thought i was straining my back with the new weight), is lower back pain which must be kidneys, however, i think earlier in the thread i mentioned it and upped my intake a half gallon, been no problems since, that was early on. i also drink pure cran by the bottle which helps. if you want to do dbol i think test is necessary for 10-12 weeks, either that or a serious pct and all of the sides that can come with dbol must be considered. now tbol is like taking var with regard to sides and pct thus you don't need a serious pct with hcg and i do not feel that i am going to have a mood swing when i come off. plus you gotta love the libido from this shit
