To make things clear before I get into it, I'm not suggesting dbol only is a good or bad idea, nor am I questioning anyone's knowledge/experience, or trying to justify a dbol only cycle for myself or anyone else, I'm just looking for some info from people that know what they're talking about!

I know the subject of dbol only has been done to death, most people will give the same advice, always use some form of test as a base otherwise you'll end up with low test. The bit I don't understand and haven't found a clear answer to is if dbol can shut down your natty test, this means your body is seeing it as test, so if it's close enough to test for your body to think it doesn't need to produce it's own, how do you end up with low test?

Is it due to the half life not being long enough to keep levels steady, and because you're shut down you have low test between one dose wearing off and taking the next dose? If so, could you theoretically take it every 4 hours or less, including waking up during the night, to keep levels steady? I know this is a stupid idea and I'm not considering it a viable option, I imagine the problems from disrupted sleep would outweigh gains.

Or is it close enough to test for your body to think it has plenty and stop producing it's own, but not close enough to act as test for everything your body needs test for? In which case the only solution is to inject test at the same time or suffer the consequences of low test.

This is focusing on just one problem, ignoring the debate of keeping gains, water retention, being a waste of time, sides outweighing gains etc. Of course there's the possibility that whoever says you end up with low test have no idea what they're talking about and the only reason not to do it is you can't take it for long enough to see real gains without having a spare liver on ice.
