No sides. 400dhb 400eq 350cyp. On dhb i don't really get that grrrrr cycle feel. I just lift hard and visual changes come on nicely. Take 1 same pose pic per week and compare first mid and last. It's WOW imo
Thats awesome man! I love it and will post blood work today.
Here we go…let’s see how this one goes dhb first timer chiming in
Hell yeah brother! I have not used that brand but I hope it does you very well. I am a huge DHB fan and after you use it a few weeks let us know how you like it. It took about 4 weeks before I noticed its effects.
What are u dosing it at a wk? An what’s ur pinning shedule like…I’ve read some say there pip was so bad they had to do eod pins…Ima run 500 wk
It depends on what brand you use, the two that I have tried are zero PIP. I pin twice a week Monday and Friday and I am taking 300mg a week with 300Test seems to work fine for me and hardly any sides.
Nice bro…so I’m 3 pins in now. Zero pip. 2.5cc dhb/ .75cc test e300….mon/thursday pins.
No welts or soreness. Smooth as butter
Thats awesome man! I am going to post blood work today with my cycle on DHB
Im convinced the reason some get elevated kidney and liver markers on blood work is due to the solvents used in the brewing of DHB as it's a bitch to keep in solution. I can't see it being the compound itself but I may be wrong
I actually agree with you because I don’t see why DHB its self should affect the liver much at all. It’s my first run with it but I will have bloods soon.
Makwa cited no blood changes.
Yeah let us know how the bloods go man
I do rate DHB highly I only ran 200mg/week for 5 weeks as only had 1 vial and during that short time I felt strong, high sex drive and no sides. It felt similar to running a high dose masteron
Ps I know the compound isn't supposed to be anything like masteron I mean it's just how it felt
There is a lot of talk about that liver study on animals regarding DHB’s hepatotoxicity. Vigorous Steve on yt is especially loud about it. I haven’t really heard of many people having the same issues with it though and it’s been pretty available for a while now. Would be interested in seeing more actual liver blood marker results
I watched his video and even he is not sure about it and it sounds like the study was all with orals and not injection. If you read comments below the video guys are saying their liver enzymes were fine when tested on DHB. I am sure the solvents its in can be toxic but I will do blood work soon and know if its affected me in anyway.
Looking forward to seeing those results. Honestly, if the liver thing is overblown, it’s really an ideal compound. I took some 1-AD way back in the GNC pro hormone days and it was pretty great, even with the wonky pro hormone conversion
Would be great to get a big DHB blood result thread and maybe settle this to some degree
Yeah I have been using some deca and primo as well so maybe I can stop and just do test and dhb for a while and get bloods.
I've had to drop mast and primo from my cycles. DHT's dry me out so badly that my ligaments, tendons, joints become brittle resulting in injuries. I've experimentiled with lowering the doses, but nothing mitiagates these sides.
Been flirting with trying DHB. Does it dry you guys out comparable to DHT's?
I have not noticed it making my joints any worse but here is how you counterbalance that. You take a small dose of Deca and that will keep the joints feeling good and drink lots of water.
Good..thanks for the info.
The deca...I run 150 mgs year round and NPP on my blasts. For some reason, when DHT's are introduced it makes nandrolone its bitch. Joint pain, ligament/tendon issues, muscle cramps at around week 7.
How the hell you guys be running these long dhb cycles. After a week it kills my sex drive so i have to come off. And thats at only 200mg/ weel
Something else was off man that's not DHB. I am on a cycle of DHB now and my sex drive is through the roof. I also take HCG because I take Testosterone as well. Like Panda stated if you were taking NPP, Deca, or Primo and an Ai you have crashed your estrogen which would kill your sex drive.
It's all about keeping stuff in balance man and really if you are cruising or blasting Testosterone you should be taking HCG or Clomid so that your balls still work and you get that sex drive. When you take Test your body stops or slows way down its own production because it doesn't need it and that is where Clomid or HCG kicks in and tells the body to keep producing.
I’m on a week and wanna fuck more right away for sure
Yeah some nights its bothers me so bad!! The sex drive can be extreme.
How much Test were you running alongside the DHB, brother? And do you know what your E2 was doing during that run?
A few other things I’d want to know so we can actually figure out why your libido tanked:
Were you running any DHTs (Mast/Primo/Proviron) at the same time?
They can change how you feel real fast if ratios are off.
How were your stress/sleep levels during that week?
DHB can spike CNS stress … if sleep tanks, libido follows.
Any AI use?
Crushing estrogen even slightly will nuke sex drive instantly(that’s the reason of my first question), especially with DHB in the mix.
Did you notice any anxiety or mood drops?
Some guys get that CNS “wired but flat” feeling on DHB at low doses, which kills libido.
Btw never had any issues with DHB
I’m running it along test, mast, Npp, and cycling orals along 12weeks. Have had Tbol and now finish 6 weeks on Sdrol.
I haven’t heard this before from DHB maybe something else was off?
DHB (1-Test Cyp) kicks in faster than EQ, but not as fast as Test P, Tren A, or any short ester.
I’d call it a “medium-fast” cypionate … not slow like EQ, not instant like acetate.
That’s how it went for me:
Week 3–4:
You start noticing the first signs(that’s what I felt). Nothing crazy, but you feel something brewing.
Week 5–8:
This is where it gets obvious. Strength climbs, muscle separation starts showing, that clean, aesthetic look hits.
This is the point most guys go: “Okay… now I get why DHB has a cult following.”
Week 9–10 (where I am now):
Full DHB mode.
Dry, full, dense … like “Tren-lite” without the head games… or EQ on steroids lol.
This is where it really shines.
I’ll keep it until week 12.
My dosing:
Started at 300mg, ramped up slowly, and now I’m finishing the last two weeks at 600mg.
Anything from 300mg up to 1g works, depending on your goal and tolerance … IMHO.
Sides:
None for me. Zero. Just clean, dry progress.
I’m up about 10 lbs of lean tissue these weeks … not bloat, not fluff, clean mass… and that’s without pushing calories into a surplus. Super happy with how everything’s lining up… starting to feel like I’m gearing up for a heavy, clean winter bulk real soon.
Bloods coming in 1–2 weeks to see how everything landed.
Jaaaacked! Solid as shit man. Lemme borrow some of them traps hometh
Lmao appreciate you man … traps got your back anytime, hometh.
Looking good bro
Thanks Big SteveTy, brother … brick by brick, trying to get bigger and stronger out here
Definitely on track man! Can see those traps stretching through your T!
You are looking good brother! I am with you I am now a huge fan of DHB for all the reasons you stated above.
100% !
Thanks my bro. DHB’s a love-or-hate relationship for most guys… luckily me and it get along like old friends.
No glove gang!! I don't use anything myself. I Like feeling the steel getting connected. I will use straps if my grip is slipping on a back day.
Same here, Big Mikey … gloves are banned from my gym bag.
Only time I’ll touch straps is on back day when the bar is trying to rip my fingers off. And “training heavy” is kinda redundant for me anyway… it’s always heavy. If it ain’t heavy, it’s a warm-up.
Who got lab work well running it? Curious how everything looked.
I will have some in a couple weeks.
No other compound like it IMHO. My absolute favorite, aesthetically speaking, better look than tren for me. I get no sides and that's running it @500/500 test and DHB only. Also, haven't experienced pip from it yet.
Its so much better than Tren
When does it usually kick in
Bro, Kicks in faster than EQ, but not as fast as Test P, Tren A, or any short ester.
I’d call it a “medium-fast” cypionate … not slow like EQ, not instant like acetate.
4 weeks you gonna start noticing
5-8 weeks in, you gonna see why DHB has some many fans
9-12 weeks in, this it where it really shines… Full DHB mode.
Dry, full, dense … like “Tren-lite” without the head games… or EQ on steroids lol. Of course diet/training is key, you know it my brother !
In a few weeks you will notice man, It is a lean look and vascular but dense muscle. My strength shot up like crazy after a few weeks.
For me it took awhile, 4-6 weeks in, but when it did my god my strength blew up. Next thing you know I repping the 100lb dumbbells' for 12 on incline dumbbell bench
WorstGeneticsWow, it hits as slowly as boldenone
Is DHB wet and bloaty for you? I’m only a week in so obv gonna take a sec so I have no feedback yet
No, more like hard and vascular but full if that’s makes sense. Similar to eq
Ran it low at 175mg, and 525mg of test. Loved it. Appetite, muscle fullness, vascularity all through the roof. My body temp also increased tremendously. My hands were getting so sweaty I could barely type on my phone or play the piano efficiently. PIP is blown out of proportion, just heat up your syringe. Now that I've been off it for a couple weeks, my sleep has greatly improved, and I am no longer a walking furnace. Gained about 20 pounds over 14 weeks, only a slight increase in body fat.
Hell yeah dude it's my favorite compound now. I do wake up with dry mouth and I dont sleep very long which is some sides I also got when I used Tren.
First dhb run landing tomorrow….def looking foward to it
