Oral cycles produce gains that you dont keep (or barely keep)
maddenizor said:Test it out, check the ratio of actual gains from what you keep on an injectable cycle vs. an oral cycle. Probably somewhere around Inject: 80/100. oral 40/100. Believe whom ever you like. Also check out long term bodily damage vs. gain ratio. Oral only cycles are a waste of time if not ludacris for the gains received/damage to blood lipids and cholesterol. Ask any experienced lifter.:study:
Your post is very subjective. These 80/100 & 40/100 numbers are just out of thin air to help prove your point. Also, the weight gained in 4 weeks from a decent designer is usually quite a bit more than the first 4 weeks of test, so if you retained a smaller percentage from the oral, you would still keep an equal or greater amount of mass in the end. The damage to lipids & liver varies greatly from person to person, with some users showing little to no difference after post cycle therapy is complete.
I hate to be defending these orals because a few of them can have pretty bad effects on some users, and I can't stand all these multiple methyl x+y+z+w stacks some people are running (without blood tests even). But to make blanket statements about them being ineffective is just false IMO.
Moyer said:In general, test is much better than orals (or any other designer or illegal steroid for that matter). Methylated orals can be especially hard on the liver & cholesterol levels. I'm less certain about the unmethylated ones however. You would need blood tests after both to know for sure.
And although test is awesome, there can definately be problems with injecting. Infection and abscesses, building scar tissue, shooting into veins, hitting nerves, etc. Overall I agree it's still healthier AND better for gains, but then you have the legality issues. First there's the hassle of finding a trusted source, then you have to risk adding a felony to your record (adding something like this to an otherwise spotless record could really **** up your life).
This is just plain wrong. True if you're not very careful, you can lose all your gains easier. Thats mostly because oral cycles are usually 4 weeks instead of 14 like injectables.
My advice is (as always) is to think long and hard about using any steroid/ph and do as much research as you can. If you do decided to use, start conservative both with your choice of hormone and dosing amounts. If you're at all concerned with your health you should get blood tests before & after (and during w/ long cycles). See B5150's sticky for more info on getting tested.
