Description
Methandienone USP 10 mg/tab.
Methandienone was developed by pharma company CIBA in 1955 for androgen replacement therapy. American Olympic doctor John Ziegler is credited with introducing the steroid to athletes to try and get a leg up on their Russian rivals. He liked that it could be orally taken, taking away the injecting aspect. It was also used in the 1960s by college and pro football players.
CIBA would later stop producing it in 1983 due to government pressure, and the FDA in 1985 revoked it entirely, which was followed by a complete ban on non-medical use in 1990 in the United States. Today, it is produced in other countries for some medical reasons and used by bodybuilders and weight lifters in the USA.
Structure
Methandienone is almost exclusively an oral tablet, but some underground labs have tried selling it as an injectable with little success. On paper, it is 50% more anabolic and half as androgenic as Testosterone.
Developers took Testosterone and added in the below 2 so it could not be destroyed by the liver. :
- A 17th carbon position methyl group
- A double bond to carbon positions 1-2
Quite simply, Dianabol (Methandienone) is testosterone in oral form with some minor changes.
Bulking and strength
Methandienone is great for bulking and strength trainers. It does this well because it is a wet compound, quickly filling the muscles with lots of water like filling up a water balloon. Remember the muscles are made up of mostly water.
Athletes can enjoy a boost in protein synthesis and a fast rise in nitrogen because the steroid works so fast. I can confirm that within a week on it, my weight had jumped many pounds even without increasing my food intake. It also prevents muscle eating hormones like cortisol to rise, making it much easier to gain lots of mass.
Powerlifters report a fast rise in all their lifts and I personally can remember my bench going up 15 pounds within days on it after I was stuck at a plateau for months.
During the golden era, guys would use handfuls of Dianabol (Methandienone) daily to help them with strength and size1.
