My first cycle was 25mg/day of d-bol (reforvit) for 6 weeks. I think a lot of the overseas web sites that sell gear hype up the oral gear as kind of a gate-way drug getting people into steroids. It worked for me because after that first cycle, I decided I needed to inject. Anyway, here's my experience:
After 3 weeks on d-bol only my lidibo went to shit. I gained crazy strength on the cycle and about 10 lbs. After the 6 weeks I ended the d-bol and did nothing for PCT; lost all of the weight but kept about 80% of the strength gain. Libido came back 3 weeks after the cycle was over.
After spending $250 for 6 weeks with no sex drive and keeping none of the mass, I decided it was time to go the injectible route. The 2nd cycle was test/deca. I was nervous as hell before the first injection but afterward I was amazed at how easy it was. Haven't done a cycle without testosterone since.
Unfortunately I only ran the 2nd cycle for 6 weeks (much too short for deca) so the net gain there was only 5 lbs. Eventually I learned how to run a decent cycle and that's the point.
Waist your money and learn the hard way if you must. But you'll be way ahead of the game if you take the advice of the people with years of experience.
