How many weeks should you run Dianabol as part of a long cycle?

[Guikslo]

I’m gonna be running a 20 to 22 week cycle
Your advice on the best way that I should kickstart Dianabol .. I'm definitely going to be using DECA and Sustanon
Should I kick start the dbol at three weeks or can I go to five or six weeks?
My cats are 28 years old, 5'10", 212 lb, and I would like to gain 10 to 15 lb.

Typically I wouldn't run dbol longer than 4-6 weeks maybe 25-40 mg or so daily.

4 weeks of dbol enough

Usually guys will use it for four or five weeks to kick start.

You can run Dbol for four to six weeks. I've seen plenty of evidence saying that it's perfectly safe.

When it comes to Dianabol I've always run it for about 4 or 5 weeks of great results. It's a very strong one.

Imo a kick start is nonsense. Have patience. Dbol is going to destroy your lipids before the oils kick in. Than you are talking about a 22 wk cycle.

Keep it simple and easy to mange
Testosterone and Anastrozole

Instead of stacking just take more testosterone and use Anastrozole to control estrogen

 

[Kingofspades712]

I like to run it until my wife and I can share bras

 

[Kingofspades712]

On a serious note you better have AI’s in hand you’re about to take on 3 huge aromotizing anabolics. Have you cycled before

 

[Nasser1997o2]

Dbol was fantastic at making my gyno get nice and big to prepare for the surgery.

I personally think it’s best use case is to increase estrogren in instances when it’s low.

In terms of an anabolic that builds actual lean tissue, it’s not very good.

For reference, I used 25mg dbol for 3 weeks on 500mg test with no ai (I’m intentionally growing my gyno pre surgery)

My weight shot up from 90.8 to 93.3kg

When I stopped, about 3 days later my weight went back down to 90.8kg.

I was a little stronger, but no stronger than Anavar or anadrol.

I think a lot of old school guys like it, because they like to see the scale number go up, but almost all that weight is water from the methyl estrogren.

Real contractile tissue is built over years of training and PED use. 6-8 weeks of dbol will make you look big while you’re on it, but you won’t be left with much.

I got great gyno gains

Yup. I think Dbol has a lasting mystique to it from back in the day but in modern days when we have every compound available I don’t see it ever as a compound to take.

 

[jerseyshoremuscles]

During the golden era all the bodybuilders took testosterone and dbol. Those were the easiest compounds to get. In 2026 we have options.

It's not kickstarting if it ends up being weeks and weeks. Two max. Plus the sus has short esters too

If you are super lean, a low estrogren converter or you’re on a boat load of eq, then dbol is fine.

But for most people is trash

During the golden era all the bodybuilders took testosterone and dbol. Those were the easiest compounds to get. In 2026 we have options.

i think it was actually dbol and nandrolone they could get.

Nandrolone solo (no test present) gives you basically 0 estrogren.

So dbol actually was almost estrogren replacement therapy while on nandrolone only.

I think some guys still do that if they are super prone to hair loss.

Test, nandrolone and dbol is pretty much guaranteed to cause problems.

It’s not even the “golden era cycle”, that people claim it is.

Most of those dudes used primo and Anavar.

Lee Haney and is era were all into test and eq.

Obviously this is all rumors, but it checks out with the dates of compound availability.

Running dbol is every gear heads rite of passage.

You do it at least once because you heard Arnold liked it.

 

[theJimJim]

I wouldn't run dbol at all if I was considering a long cycle. Id just be patient and get the gains as they come.

 

[ROIDDERS]

One of the things I don't like about this is how long you're running this cycle. That's not a cycle, that's just staying on. I would still cut the cycle to 14 weeks.

bros you will be fine with 3-5 weeks. pushing it past 6 weeks is too much water retention IMO

Especially when he’s then adding deca

 

[ballin2504]

I would stick to 4 weeks in dbol

bros true that
