Dianabol
was born from a joint project of Ciba and Dr. John Zeigler in the
1950s. Back then, the original package insert claimed that a
Dianabol
dosage a small as 10 mg daily would be able to replace the
body's androgen completely, increase
anabolic processes
by at least 5 times and decrease cortisol levels to up to 70 percent.
After finding out about
Dianabol,
it won't be surprising if you pick this steroid as a part of your
stack. Many bodybuilders use a
Dianabol
dosage to kick start the gains they have early on the cycle. So what is
the common Dianabol dosage used in the world of
bodybuilding?
To start off, the recommended
Dianabol
dosage is from a minimal 15 mg daily to up to 40 mg daily.
Those who use
Dianabol
for the first time stick to a dose of 15 to 20 mg. You will rarely find
any cycles that make use of Dianabol dosages greater than 50 mg. If
someone posted this dosage in bodybuilding forums online, he would
probably get bashed by other steroid users. This is because it is
pointless to have a
Dianabol
dosage higher than 50 mg for more than 8 weeks since the
steroid has a "point of diminishing returns". That point is 50 mg and
any gains above that dosage becomes very minimal. It is like a plateau
effect with regards to the effect of the drug. In order to bypass that
plateau point, other
steroids
are often added in order to prolong and maintain gains.
Back in the 1980s, advanced
steroid
users used
high
Dianabol dosages of 100 mg for 6 weeks. This dosage was
able to produce good effects without the unwanted
side
effects although many normal values were decreased.
Testosterone
itself was shown to be suppressed to more than 50% while fat free mass
was actually increased. High
doses
of Dianabol are therefore not recommendable. Back in those
days though, Dianabol was already popular and was already used
primarily for bulking purposes for the entire cycle. Now, the most
common duration used for any
Dianabol
dosage in a stack is 4 weeks. This is to prevent lessening
the
effects
of Dianabol and to minimize its side effects as well.
Prolonged use of
Dianabol
dosages, especially of high ones, can cause liver injury
since this steroid is a 17-alpha alkylated compound. It can also cause
the common side effects such as acne formation, increase in aggression
and insomnia, as well as virilization in women and abnormal breast
formation in men. On a better note, normal
Dianabol
dosages can effectively increase your bulk early on during the cycle.
Even steroid novices can expect a weight gain of up to 4 pounds a week
during the first six weeks of use.
These are the basics of using this steroid in the
recommended Dianabol dosage.
While there are alterations that can be done during a
cycle
with Dianabol, it is still highly advisable to stick with the
recommended dosage in order to fully maximize the potential of Dianabol
while minimizing its negative effects.
