We know you don’t like injections. Who even likes them at all? We also know that you want to get massive. Who doesn’t?
Luckily, oral anabolic steroids exist, and even though you can’t escape pinning completely — you can get the best effects from your oral pills. And here’s how to choose the right one.
Oral Anabolic Steroids Benefits
We’ll start with the basics. What can oral anabolic steroids give you? While the general public’s view of the answer is simply “muscles”, the real list of benefits is way bigger. Here’s what you can get from anabolic steroids in pills:
- Muscle growth (because of increased nitrogen retention and hypertrophy);
- Strength boost (because of muscle volume increase);
- Endurance boost (because of increased red blood cell production);
- Synergetic effect (because of SHBG aka sex hormone binding globulin suppression);
- Weight loss (because of metabolic processes boost);
- Better look (simply because you’ll get more muscles and less fat).
Besides, as a positive side effect, you get a self esteem boost. In addition to Testosterone level increase, you look better and get bigger on oral anabolic steroids, while breaking your records with weights – what else can boost your self-confidence?
Oral Anabolic Steroids Side Effects
There’s no free lunch, and you get side effects as well. Oral anabolic steroids have more than injections, and here is what you can get:
- Elevated blood pressure, headaches and nosebleeds;
- Joint pain, muscle cramps, painful pumps;
- Dizziness and fatigue, sometimes sleepiness, anxiety or depression;
- Liver damage (because of 17-alpha-alkylation process that all oral anabolic steroids go through to protect them from your liver’s natural filtering);
- Testosterone suppression — that’s why you can’t run an oral-only cycle and need an injectable Testosterone base with it.
Of course, oral anabolic steroids are not THAT dangerous. Who would even cycle them, if all these effects were guaranteed? You can get all of them, get one or two, or get none of the above on your cycle. It all depends on the dose, the ancillaries you have on your hands, and your personal proneness to the side effects.
Best Anabolic Steroids for Muscle Growth
Finally – here’s how to choose the right substance for your cycle. Note that all oral anabolic steroids are different: some are better for cutting, some are perfect for body recomposition. These three options are – anecdotally – better than others when it comes to muscle growth.
Option 1: Anadrol
Also known as an A-bombs, Anadrol is one of the most popular and effective options on the list. It’s 4 times more powerful than your natural Testosterone itself, but just half as androgenic. It means that you’re way more likely to get excellent gains with mild side effects.
Option 2: Dianabol
The classic choice for the old-school athletes. Dianabol was invented specifically for USA national weightlifting team back in 1940s, and it’s extremely popular today. Both PRO athletes and beginners use it as a kickstart, since Dianabol can give you its effects in a short time.
Just start Dbol before other, slower anabolic steroids on your stack kick in, and you’ll get their effects ON TOP of the gains you will get from Dianabol.
Option 3: Superdrol
The youngest competitor on the list, it came to the market in early 2000s and was considered – how crazy is that – a dietary supplement for a long time. This “supplement” can give you insane strength and mass gains in a short time.
In fact, Superdrol is so powerful that you can’t run it for longer than a month, or the nasty side effects will hit you hard. Of all anabolic steroids, Superdrol is believed to be the best one for experienced athletes, just because it’s demanding in terms of caution and dosing.
How To Take Oral Anabolic Steroids Right
No, we won’t teach you how to take a pill. Get it, eat it, drink some water. You know the drill. Instead, we’ll talk about details that beginner athletes rarely even think about when they plan their anabolic steroids cycle.
- All oral anabolic steroids have different half-life. Pills just stop giving the effects once the time comes. Careful timing is extremely important to get the best effects and kep the Testosterone levels as smooth as possible;
- Some orals can react with specific fats in your food. Before taking any anabolic steroids, make sure that you know whether they work best before a meal or after it. Try to link the administration time to your regular meals to avoid wasting any of the compounds for nothing;
- Sleep is a big deal too. Anabolic steroids directly affect your central nervous system. Sometimes taking oral pills before going to bed means a guaranteed insomnia. and sometimes – taking them before breakfast puts you in a sleepy, dizzy state for the whole day. It may be an individual effect, but researching the topic is always worth it.
Unfortunately, we don’t have specific clinics for steroid users (steroids are pretty much illegal in Canada and the United States). It could be a huge market, since over 50% of all athletes worldwide take (or used to take) anabolic steroids.
Luckily, we have a community and dozens of different forums, books and articles, so never hesitate to look up even the dumbest questions you have on anabolic steroids. There’s a huge chance that you’re not even in the first hundred to ask it.
