Metandienone AKA Dianabol

Metandienone (Dianabol) is an anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) widely used for muscle building and performance enhancement.

Key Information

Uses

1. Muscle Growth: Rapidly increases muscle mass by promoting protein synthesis.
2. Strength Gains: Enhances strength and power output.
3. Performance Enhancement: Reduces recovery time and boosts workout intensity.

How It Works

• Anabolic Effects: Increases nitrogen retention in muscles, enhancing protein synthesis.
• Androgenic Effects: Mimics testosterone to promote muscle and strength development.

Dosage

• Common Range: 15–50 mg daily, often split into smaller doses due to its short half-life (4–6 hours).
• Cycle Duration: 4–6 weeks to minimize side effects.

Benefits

• Quick muscle mass and strength gains.
• Improved recovery and workout endurance.
• Increased protein synthesis and nitrogen retention.

Precautions

• Liver Protection: Use liver support supplements (e.g., milk thistle, NAC).
• Post-Cycle Therapy (PCT): Necessary to restore natural testosterone production after use (e.g., Clomid or Nolvadex).
• Monitoring: Regular blood tests for liver function, cholesterol, and hormones.

Effectiveness

• Gains of 10–20 pounds in muscle mass are common in short cycles.
• Most effective when combined with a high-protein diet and intense training.
