SwiftMcvay said:I didn't say it to make myself looks smart, its just what i've found from research. I considered doing a cycle a couple of years back, and i know a lot of different people that have done them. And i've looked up a lot of different types of steroids, on a lot of different sites, and forums. And Anadrol is widely considered to be the steroid with the harshest side effects. And I'm not talking about acne, roid rage, or your nuts shrinking, i'm talking about liver and heart problems. And if you are saying that orals messing up your liver is a myth, please, explain to me and everybody else why this isn't true? If you want to prove me wrong, then by all means, do so, it will make everybody, myself included, more informed about steroids. but don't dismiss what i've said without giving reasons, especially when your post started with "I don't know specifically".
RJ's being too nice, so I'm gonna call you on this. You did say that to increase the integrity of your post, which is nil, because you don't understand anything beyond the "research" you have done at bodybuilding forums; in other words, your knowledge on the subject is entirely second hand, that is clear to me.
No? Then explain to me why M1T and Superdrol are shit. Explain to me the difference between steroids and prohormones.
Here's something I bet you didn't know: Anadrol is a prohormone.
You can take this opportunity to hate me, since I am a dick, or you can take this opportunity to unlearn your miseducation.
It's true that methylating a steroid ring will cause a greater toxicity to the liver (making it orally available), but the danger of a prohormone/steroid relies to a greater degree on the chemical makeup of the steroid- just as RJ has pointed out.
For example, you've probably heard of anavar. I'm sure the bodybuilders you've conversed with have excoriated it- saying it doesn't work. In fact, it does. It works very well. The reason they don't like it is,
1) it doesn't make them bigger, and it doesn't get them as strong as test or d-bol, but then, they don't give a fuck about relative strength,
2) It's too expensive and too unattainable to be practical.
3) It isn't something you can inject which satisfies their psychological addiction.
In fact, if you check the Physician's Desk Reference, it will tell you that anavar (or oxandrolone) was and is still used- though less commonly- to help exceptionally sick women or children gain weight. In almost no cases do liver legions appear, and when they have, an immediate withdrawal of administration of the hormone resulted in the legions disappearing. This was consistent with doses up to even 25mg daily.
Many oral steroids are delivered in that form because of solubility problems, or simply because they don't pose a threat because their toxicity isn't that great (most people don't prefer sticking needles in their arms). Anadrol, even if it was manufactured in injectable form, it would be far more stressful to the liver than most orals.
I found the PDR to be one of my most useful references when I did my research on steroids. Doctors know far, far more than bodybuilders about steroids. The reason bodybuilders talk so much shit is because they take ridiculous amounts far beyond anything useful for medical purposes, so they operate outside the realm of medical expertise. You want to know about steroids, ask the people who used them first, doctors with open minds. You want to know about what might happen to your body if you take over 1g of test a week, well then, fuck man, go fishing at a bodybuilding forum, I expect you'll catch something.
D-bol is the only oral that has a real love affair with bodybuilders because it stacks well with testosterone and it has one of the best ratios for mass-building:estrogenic side effects. Bodybuilders will badmouth orals for its methylation but then inject over 10x the recommended amount of testosterone for hormone replacement therapy (on top of two or three other agents in their stack).
Why is that? It's because of people pawning second hand knowledge. Stop it.
