There are anabolic steroids. And then there’s Dianabol, the uncrowned king of AAS.
Sorry if you thought that its Trenbolone.
Dianabol has always been the go-to steroid for mass building for an entire generation of bodybuilders that we’ve grown up adoring.
It was Ciba’s answer to the Russian dope machine and boy, did it give America wings.
It has been around for ages. It’s tried, tested, proven and its side effects are reasonably easy to control as long as you know what you are doing.
Moreover, it is easy to take and it makes you feel good from the second dose onwards.
It is one of the best mass building compounds that you can ever use. And if you are looking to pack on the mass in limited time, then you should seriously be considering the Big-D.
If you are skeptical about using it, then here are 7 reasons why it is the ultimate mass building compound.
#1 – It amplifies Nitrogen retention
Well, so do most other anabolic steroids. But Dianabol does it way better than any other compound. The only other one that comes even remotely close would be Trenbolone. Maybe Anadrol as well.
But the effect that you get on Dianabol is incomparable. Irrespective of whether you use it as a base steroid (not recommended, but people do it anyway), or whether you pair it with plain old testosterone, Dianabol increases nitrogen retention significantly.
So much so, that you do not just gain intracellular fluid, which is a common gripe that’s shared by bodybuilders on Dianabol.
Be rest assured that you will gain muscle on it.
#2 – It amplifies your strength in a very short time
Being natural sounds great in theory.
Maybe it’s not so bad when you are in your teens and you still have to reach your natural potential.
But, when you cross the age of 35, it suddenly becomes a very different ball game.
You find it impossible to break through plateaus. Even adding a single plate to the bar makes it agonizingly difficult to hit reps.
That’s when you start to crave for some juice to help you tide through the phase.
And there’s no better choice than Dianabol. It will increase a lot of strength in a very little time, if that’s the right way to put it.
What might be your max bench press one week might become your warm up set weight after 4-weeks on Dianabol.
But, it must be mentioned that you’ve got to be extremely careful when you pile up the weights on the rack. There are many athletes who ended up with injuries as their tendons were unable to cope with the sudden increase in lifts.
#3 – You gain weight fast
Let’s face it. There’s something undeniably good about fast results. Whether its losing weight or gaining muscle, we all want to do it fast.
Dianabol is one of the fastest acting anabolic steroids in the world.
Within just 2 weeks, you will have gained at least 5-8 lbs. To be honest, most of it will be water and glycogen.
But hey, there will be lean muscle as well. The pumps will be insane. Your shirt will start to fit.
The mere feeling of watching your body transform within weeks is incredible, as opposed to weeks and months of lifting to gain just one or two lbs. of lean muscle.
#4 – It increases protein synthesis
Dianabol, like most other anabolic compounds will increase the rate at which your body produces new muscle tissue by amplifying protein synthesis.
It remains unknown whether the increase in protein synthesis on a Dianabol cycle is superior to what you can achieve with other anabolic compounds, like testosterone or Deca Durabolin.
But if you are eating in a calorie surplus, Dianabol appears to provide much better results, at least in the short term.
That’s the reason why it is used as a kickstarter to an injectable steroid cycle.
By the time testosterone levels peak in your body and you start to notice the effects, Dianabol would have kicked in making you feel and look like Hercules.
When you end the D-bol cycle and begin to lose the intracellular water, testosterone kicks in.
#5 – It increases glycogenolysis
Glycogneolysis is a process that occurs when your body breaks down stored glycogen and converts it into glucose to fuel your workouts.
This, is used by professional bodybuilders during the last few days of contest prep to remove any subcutaneous water from under the skin, while increasing their performance.
By improving glycogenolysis, Dianabol allows you to make better use of the carbohydrates that you consume.
Let’s say that you are eating in a calorie surplus. But you are tensed about eating too many carbs as your body tends to hoard water and fat.
With Dianabol, you can eat carbohydrates without worrying about gaining fat. It will ensure that all the carbs that you eat get broken down into fuel for your workouts allowing you to lift better.
This brings us to the next point.
#6 – You recover faster
On Dianabol, you can perform grueling workout sessions and be ready for the next one in a span of hours.
The rate of recovery is insane, as many bodybuilders say.
This allows you to work out harder.
#7 – It makes you feel great
This is purely based on tons of anecdotal reviews including ours. There is no anabolic steroid that makes you feel as good as Dianabol does.
The feeling is incomparable to anything else. You just feel ‘God-Like’ on the steroid. Ready to take on anything that the gym throws at you.
This is not roid-rage mind you. Definitely not the polarizing thoughts that Trenbolone floods your mind with.
This is pure ‘feel-good’.
Closing thoughts
We have said it numerous times on our blog posts and we’ll say it again. There’s no better mass building compound than Dianabol.
But you’ve got to be careful with the dosage. You don’t need 75mg/day to get good results.
On our first cycle, we used just 15mg/day and gained 9 lbs. on the cycle with very little water retention.
We did end up with a total shutdown though. So it was an absolutely stupid cycle.
Even 10mg/day of Dianabol can suppress you by up to 75% in a span of days. So use it with Test, go with a low dose and enjoy the results.
