Description
Methandienone, also known as danabol, is a widely used and highly popular steroid in the world of sports. Its structure includes a 17-alpha-methyl group, which allows for oral administration and provides noticeable effects on the body (while also posing a potential risk to the liver).
Methandienone has a half-life of 4.5-6 hours. It exhibits moderate estrogenic effects and has a low rate of conversion to a metabolite with stronger androgenic properties via the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. This steroid is favored by bodybuilders and athletes seeking increased muscle mass and strength.
Methandienone binds to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) less effectively than other steroids, allowing for a larger portion of the steroid to remain in a free state.
The manufacturer aimed to develop a steroid with a lower androgenic rating compared to testosterone while retaining its anabolic (muscle-building) properties. With the assistance of renowned Dr. Ziegler, Ciba introduced one of the "most effective oral anabolic steroids." Methandienone was released in 1958 and remains one of the most studied steroids after testosterone.
Methandienone improves recovery and adapts quickly to stimuli, promoting not only hypertrophy but also hyperplasia (enlargement of certain organs). It enhances muscle nitrogen retention, creating an optimal anabolic environment.
Methandienone reduces glycogenolysis, the breakdown of glycogen. Higher concentrations of glycogen in the muscle environment contribute to muscle volume, water retention, and energy supply, resulting in more satisfying results.
Methandienone is known to increase strength and has the potential for fluid retention, which can help protect joints from damage associated with increased strength.
Methandienone cycles typically yield rapid results, making it suitable for the initial phase of any cycle. For instance, a 4-week cycle of Methandienone can result in a 4-6 kg increase in body weight. The characteristic of rapid weight gain makes Methandienone an ideal choice for kick-starting a cycle.
Dosage
- Beginner: 20-30 mg
- Average dosage: 30-60 mg
- High dosage: 60-100 mg
Methandienone is commonly used at the beginning of a cycle. Beginners typically take 30-60 mg per day, while more advanced athletes may take 80-100 mg daily. Aromatization, which can significantly increase estrogen levels during and after usage, is a notable side effect.
Methandienone notably increases dopamine levels, positively impacting mood, motivation, and libido. Higher dosages of the drug (100 mg and above) are typically used only when it is used as a standalone steroid. When combined with other steroids, experienced athletes seldom exceed a daily dosage of 50 mg.
