Dianabol, Anavar, Turinabol… Are Oral Steroids Worth It?

Dianabol, Anavar, Turinabol… Are Oral Steroids Worth It?

Quick Gains, Real Risks

Oral steroids are popular for a reason: no injections, fast results, big pumps. But that doesn’t mean they’re safe.

1. Dianabol (Methandrostenolone)

• Big pumps and strength in 2–3 weeks
• High water retention, soft look
• High aromatization → risk of gynecomastia
• Liver toxic – max 4–6 weeks

Typical dose: 20–40 mg/day

2. Turinabol (Tbol)

• Clean gains, no water retention
• Great for recomposition
• Milder than Dianabol but still liver toxic
• Strong suppression of natural testosterone

Typical dose: 30–50 mg/day

3. Anavar (Oxandrolone)

• Lean, dry gains and strength
• Popular for cutting and female use
• Low hepatotoxicity, but expensive and often faked
• Still suppressive in men

Typical dose: 30–60 mg/day (lower for women)

4. Winstrol (Stanozolol)

• Increased vascularity and dry hardness
• Great for final weeks of a cut
• Terrible for joints, highly liver toxic

Typical dose: 20–50 mg/day

5. Anadrol (Oxymetholone)

• Massive strength and size gains
• Huge water retention
• Extremely hepatotoxic
• Raises blood pressure and estrogenic effects (indirectly)

Typical dose: 25–50 mg/day

✅ Pros & ❌ Cons of Orals

✅ Pros	❌ Cons
Easy to take, no injection	Liver toxic (hepatotoxic)
Fast results, good for kickstart	Estrogen/progesterone side effects
Strength and pump	Bad for cholesterol and blood pressure
Short cycles or bridge potential	Many are underdosed or fake
Stacks well with injectables	Hard to keep gains post-cycle

⏱️ How to Use Orals Properly

• Limit to 4–6 weeks max (except Anavar)
• Always run with testosterone base
• Use liver support (NAC, Tudca, etc.)
• Plan a real PCT
• Get bloodwork before and after

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Running orals without testosterone
• Stacking multiple orals at once
• Ignoring side effects or duration
• Confusing water weight with real gains

🔚 Final Thoughts

Oral steroids hit fast—but they hit hard. Don’t be fooled by the pump. Without discipline, knowledge, and a proper plan, you’ll lose more than you gain.
