+ 1 dbol dosing and timing

ad

Im getting ready to run my second cycle of test E at 600mg a week with a 4 week dbol kicker. First cycle was test only at 500mg a week. The dbol i have is in 25mg capsules. I was only planning to run it at 25mg a day as this is my first experience with it. I know there are mixed opinions on whether to split the dose or take it all preworkout. I have been planning to go the preworkout route which im cool with trying. I am wondering tho if anyone has experience with breaking the capsule and mixing the contents in a beverage. For example, mixing 20 oz of liquid in a shaker bottle and emptying a full capsule in it. Then drinking exactly 5 oz at a time 4 times throughout the day, making sure to mix the liquid well prior to each dose. Does this make sense and does it seem like you would be getting pretty even doses each time? I know the dbol dosing question has been beat to death but i havent seen much if anything on this method so maybe its dumb

Lets see here, how do steroids work? Well when you do a cycle you want to to have your test levels at a consistent level right? So test has a half life of lets say for argument 5 days. Dbol has a halflife of 8.5 hours. Following me?
If you take dbol once a day at 50mg then by the time 10 hours go by its more then likely about 1-2mg?
By the time you go night night there is nothing left in your system that could do any benefit so you lose what the drug is for. So if I wanted 250mg of test a week how would I make sure it is around that? well following half life I would need to pin a specific amount either every day or every 3-5 days. That way I am taking a CYCLE
Therefore when you take dbol once a day you are getting NOTHING from your supposed test and dbol cycle from the dbol. Preworkout? Any "pumps" or "gains" from that 1 hour window are dust in the wind 10 hours later.

Easier way to explain it is you drink 3 shots of booze and you are drunk, in order to stay drunk you would have to repeat that every hour or what not. What makes you think you can take an oral once a day and keep the benefits?

That definitely makes sense. I've read so many different opinions on whether to split it or do preworkout so I was going with a "see what works best for you" mentality. But ive also read a ton on this forum about halflives, so im on board with the split doses. My biggest concern was whether or not splitting the dose by mixing it in liquid and consuming equal amounts throughout the day would be as effective as splitting a tablet or taking 10 mg tabs a few times a day. Thats why i was gonna do the preworkout route. I havent seen much discussion on mixing it in liquid so i didnt know of that meant it was common sense to do that or of it was a dumb idea. If thats a good way to do it then i would definitely prefer to split it up

Its hard when its in powder form to mix with water or juice because of the fillers. I never buy caps for that reason. The only way around it is to buy a digital scale and use a razor blade to divide the doses so that way its consistent. The caps may not dissolve properly in water and thats why any of the liquid forms are suspended in alcohol so it breaks up better. Buy the scale or just cut your loss and get pressed pills so you can dose them easier and save the caps for another day.

I agree, IMO for maximum effects it's best to keep levels consistent throughout the day as much as possible. It's half life is even shorter then 8hrs. Think that's closer to tbol, your favorite right? Dbol is around 4hrs. I try to take it about 4 times a day minimum. Although some people swear by taking there full dose pre workout and they get good results. Like you said though by night time when your growing and recovering there's nothing left in your system. How's that gonna help you grow? Doesn't make a lot of sense imo.

So OP, I would open the caps up and split it evenly between a morning, after noon or pre workout depending on the time you lift. And then right before bed. This is better then once. Day, still not optimal imo, I try to take it 5 times a, every few hours to make sure there's always some in my system.and always right before bed, that's when we grow, so important time Imo.

It's weird I know you guys well enough to know your favorite compounds lol. Oh I been on here for so long now.

If you do use water. I don't know if extended contact with things like citric acid would affect potency. I love dbol and I favor it all at once preworkout or pre cardio if I'm not doing weights that day. If your appetite tanks consider some mk677 to run alongside it. Fixed my appetite issue but I doubt you're gonna run into problems at 25 mgs a day. A big plus 1 for smart conservative doseages for your first time trying a new compound. Not enough of that around here...

I've found the quality of the dbol dictates whether I get heartburn, appetite loss etc. I heard this from someone else and it didn't make much sense, I mean the bettet quality should just be closer to accurate dosing, more of the drug so if anything the sides should be worse. But he was right, got some of the best dbol I've ever had right now and my appetite is through the roof, like peole say they get with dbol, literally zero heart burn and I always get it with orals. Weird but proved true.

Very interesting. You run it in 10 mg increments for a total of 50 mg per day?

Ya, that's what I think works best. Like to constantly give it to my body. Even a drug like anavar which has a pretty long half life , (11hrs) I still like to space it out all throughout the day.

Thanks man. Im most likely gonna take it all preworkout. I love the idea of getting that extra bang out of my workouts. I just wanted to get some input on the liquid route. I do shift work so my workouts arent at a set time, they vary week to week. But i guess it doesnt matter if i take it at a diff time each day considering the short half life

For what it's worth, when I took it around the clock measuring doses I felt like my liver was having more trouble. I lost all my appetite and felt sluggish and tired. When I ran it again and switched to 50 mgs preworkout only 5 days a week I put on around ten lbs and kept about 5 after a four week run. Sides were much less, I was happy with that.
