Powerlifting comp in 8 weeks. And want to use my first ever run of Anadrol. Currently on a test blast of 500mg/W. Was thinking 50mg/ED for 6 weeks but have heard I should either run longer or bump it up. Have plenty of Liv52 DS on hand that I have already started taking this week in prep for Anadrol and have TUDCA on hand as well for when I begin the cycle. Also taking a multi and ashwaganda root for cortisol control. Any advice on duration an dosage for maximum strength increase leading into the comp?

I’m using 100ed at the moment (I train like a power lifter but don’t compete) and seeing the benefits, but dosage can be individual. I’m not getting any sides to speak of (lack of appetite and a little tiredness the extent of it) but if the sides got too hard at a certain dose it messes with your training and makes the overall effectiveness less because of that).

maybe start 50ed for a couple of weeks and bump up assuming you feel good

Other than appetite and lethargy what other sides are there?

some people hold water on adrol, I haven’t at all. Stomach issues I seen mentioned but again I’ve not had that issue and blood pressure (which I supplement heavily for anyway) is often an issue but not one I’ve noted....

6 weeks is fine, I don't like cycles that short, but it is perfectly fine. 50mg is a good place to start, and after a week if your feeling good bump it to 75 or 100, I've gone up to as high as 200mg... I don't recommend things that I do for people though lol. I know Adrol doesn't aromatize, but somehow the fucker can cause gyno, so I would get some form of AI just in case.

Take the 50 for 6 weeks. You can bump it to 100 the last 10-14 days before the meet, but understand even if you feel fine at 50 some guys go to 100 and get floored and can’t eat (they forget that’s a 100% increase in dose so there’s no way to predict how you will feel without just trying it).

You should be able to suffer through anything the last 1.5-2 weeks of prep. Just get the food in, whatever it takes.

Also, if you have to cut weight, raise the dose sooner so you know what you will have to deal with as far as water weight come meet week.

Because it acts like a 19-nor and acts on the PR (despite being a DHT-derivative), hence the fluid retention/increased volumization as well as raising prolactin.

I know about the prolactin, but I didn't think prolactin caused tissue growth

I didn’t know about the prolactin issue. And I’ve googled this non-stop. Does Anadrol produce any sexual sides that you guys have noticed?

lol how do you think pregnant women lactate? I mean there must also be enough estrogen present, but estrogen & prolactin means growth can occur.

It will if you take it solo, but if you are on test and prolactin doesn’t get crazy you’ll be fine. Many guys don’t need prolactin control on it, but if you start getting puffy nips or getting sexual sides that’s the vector you would want to address to get things right.

Anadrol is a weird one. Like I said, DHT skeleton but barely registered in animal studies as androgenic at all. Yet it obviously drives strength neurologically (aside from its massive leverage benefits) because you can take one dose preWO and immediately feel a performance buzz.

What throws me off is Tren is weird w me too. Supposedly makes guys super horny and sexual and it does for me as well for the first few weeks. After that I have no interest in sex and even after weeks of it leaving my system I still have some minor but lingering effects this is with bloods showing Estradiol and Prolactin within the correct ranges.

Lol I know how women lactate, but if Adrol doesn't aromatize, how would it be causing tissue growth in a man if estrogen isn't spiking.

All you need for gyno is an under balance of androgenicity relative to your genetic threshold for when you get gyno. And also consider having some existing gyno from puberty or previous cycles (many of us) that was really small can respond and start growing easier than forming truly new tissue.

Also consider some hormones can convert to estrogen at some degrees WITHOUT aromatizing (nandrolone, trenbolone, etc). Not necessarily enough to meet needs or desired e2 levels (hence why tren only or deca only without some added estradiol sn’t a viable longterm option for health), but it happens.

A guy taking test & drol could certainly have enough estrogen present that if prolactin elevated it could be a problem. And a guy using only Anadrol that has crashed test levels could also get gyno because of the low androgen environment, potentially.

It’s complex and I don’t pretend to understand it all (nobody truly does), but the take away is having enough DHT, SERM, or estrogen receptor antagonists like RAD140 that can compete with the ER will help prevent gyno. Taking an AI to lower aromatization of test will help prevent gyno. And if those bases are covered and still having issues, make sure prolactin gets brought down. You see some guys on Trestolone using Ralox and or Mast and taking plenty of AI but still getting gyno. They add Caber or prami and problem solved.

A fine choice. Yesterday it was chicks sloppily making out. Blasts always get a little weird

I get bored easily and like variety. There’s probably not a niche I haven’t had a spell on over the years 🙈

pregnant chicks made a reappearance recently

My wife is super pregnant and it’s been great. For me, not her. She mainly is just exhausted and when we have sex it’s for me right now, but it’s still awesome lol
Isn't it great? There's nothing like completely uninhibited sex where you are absolutely certain you are not getting her pregnant! I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my kids, and when we tried, we were purposefully trying. But pregnant sex is a whole other level. Good luck dude, get it while you can.

I don't powerlift. I lift light weights for the most part. Anadrol is maybe my favorite oral but I need 100mg owe day. Didn't really do much for my strength. Now again I don't lift for strength but sown drugs I really notice and increase, but didn't with anadrol .

Normal ranges don’t really mean much though. That doesn’t necessarily mean Estrogen and Prolactin they didn’t increase. They’re just an average. What’s normal for someone else might be way too high for your body.

Could also be unrelated to prolactin or estrogen - something to do with dopamine or another neurological pathway the drug affects. Some guys have a crazy sex drive while on Tren but have a rebound where it’s almost non-existent for months after coming off. Everybody is different.

Do you take caber/prami or control your estrogen while on Tren?

I remember watching a video about Anadrol’s affinity for the PR, does it aromatize as well?

The video also claimed that because of a certain mechanism, and I can’t exactly recall the specifics, the prolactin or estrogen related side-effects (can’t remember which) couldn’t be combatted by ancillary drugs.

Do you have any info on any of that?

My understanding is Anadrol does not aromatize. But keep in mind some compounds like nandrolone, tren, etc can indeed end up as some estrogen via other pathways besides aromatization (which I don’t know anything about beyond that it can happen to varying degrees).

You can always combat prolactin issues because we always use things that ultimately lower prolactin, not things that compete directly for the Progesterone Receptor (the way someone may use Tamoxifen or another SERM, but we don’t have anything to selectively modulate the PR that I’m aware of). But since Anadrol doesn’t aromatize using an AI wouldn’t stop it from becoming estrogen if it does do that, however it may. But an AI can still help indirectly by lowering aromatization of the test in your body which helps prevent prolactin from getting as high even if the PR is getting stimulated to a degree.

So basically AIs & SERMs are almost always still nifty when combating gyno, but it’s important to know that lowering prolactin or adding more androgenicity/DHT or something to compete with the estrogen receptors (RAD140, a SERM, Masteron, Proviron, Androsterone creams like Ultra Hard, Winstrol) are all options to consider as well.
