Many call
Dianabol,
or
D-bol,
as the granddaddy of anabolic-androgenic
steroids, and
that’s with a solid basis. This steroid has been developed in the 1950s
and you think that several decades past,
Dianabol must have
been replaced by newer anabolic agents. The answer to that is a big NO.
Stealth compounds and designer drugs cannot dislodge
Dianabol
from its top position on steroid rankings, and here’s why.
Dianabol
is oral methandrostenelone and it exerts it anabolic effects by
increasing
protein
synthesis. When talking about protein synthesis, you’ll hear
terms like ‘gene transcription’, ‘mRNA translation’, and other
scientific, but in this instance all you need to know about protein
synthesis is that it involves proper utilization of protein so that
muscle growth can occur. Proteins (specifically the amino acids), as
you well know, are the building blocks of the body.
Steroids like Dianabol make sure that protein synthesis exceeds muscle
protein breakdown, resulting to positive protein balance. It has been
found out that training can have profound effect on muscle growth only
if there is a positive protein balance. This means that no matter how
effective your resistance training is you’d have difficult time
achieving your plateau (or exceeding your plateau) with the absence of
ideal protein metabolism.
Dianabol is not only for muscle hypertrophy, but also for strength
gains. This property makes this compound attractive to athletes,
especially those who are into sports requiring stamina. Dianabol
induces power and stamina by improving glycogenolysis. Glycogenolysis
is the breakdown of glycogen to glucose for energy utilization. When
you train, your body’s glycogen reserve gets depleted fast leading to
fatigue and decreased endurance. Dianabol prevents this occurrence by
readily replenishing glycogen reserve for increased work output and
duration. The fact that Dianabol is capable of delivering both muscle
mass and strength gains in a very short period is another advantage for
this steroid.
The effective
Dianabol
dosage for men is 25-50 mg per day, preferably split up
into four to five doses. The recommended cycle duration is up to 6
weeks only since this is a c-17 alpha-alkylated compound and this
alteration can be stressful to the liver.
Dianabol is
not advised to be used by women because it can cause virilization
symptoms which include voice changes, hirsutism, and clitoral
hypertrophy. Should they insist on using Dianabol, conservative doses
and avoid long cycles should be strictly observed. For women, a 5mg
intake of
Dianabol
can provide impressive muscle growth with minimal risks.
Dianabol
exhibits estrogenic activity and although this drug exerts this effect
at moderate level only, it is advised to have anti-estrogens like
Nolvadex close at hand should estrogen-related symptoms occur.
Gynecomastia
may arise due to estrogen activity.
When getting Dianabol, make sure that you’re getting it from trusted
sources as many counterfeit versions of this steroid are being peddled
on the street and on the Internet. Nowadays, legit versions of Dianabol
originate from Mexico, South America, Eastern Europe and Asian regions.
Anything not coming out from these areas, you should think twice before
buying.
