Danabol has a large number of different reviews. Many athletes consider Danabol to be the main drug on the cycle, while others recommend taking it orally and cyclically, maintaining a pause between doses so that the drug does not cause addiction and does not reduce the effectiveness of its effects. Danabol is spoken positively by those who have used this product correctly and in accordance with all norms, rules and recommendations. This anabolic drug is produced by various companies and has a high level of popularity among professional athletes.

What is this drug and why is it used?
The anabolic steroid Methandienone first went on sale in 1958 in the United States under the brand name Dianabol.
There are now about 50 names of Methandienone.
The most famous:
- Dianabol
- Danabol
- Anabol
- Let's ask
- Methandrostenolone
- Nerobol and others
Initially, this hormonal drug, available in tablet form, was intended for medical purposes only .
It was used to accelerate the healing of wounds after operations, burns, fusion of bones after fractures, for the treatment of muscular dystrophy, kidney failure, and so on.
But it soon became clear that Methandienone helps grow muscle mass and promotes strength gains. And here athletes paid close attention to this drug.
In Olympic sports, anabolic steroids were officially approved for use until 1973. Therefore, many athletes used Methandienone quite legally in preparation for competitions.
This steroid began to be used in all sports where strength is required or muscle mass is needed.
For example, in weightlifting, bodybuilding, powerlifting, shot put and sprinting.
It turned out that the effect of methane is multifaceted:
- Accelerates the body's recovery after training
- Increases performance
- Speeds up the healing of sports injuries
- Creates a positive nitrogen balance in the body, increases aggression (“sports anger”)
At the present stage, steroids are prohibited for use in major Olympic sports.
High fines, lifelong disqualification and the ease of detecting traces of Methandienone in the body have made this drug impractical.
However, for amateurs who train “for themselves,” methane remains the number one anabolic steroid.
It is also readily used by athletes in non-Olympic sports, where doping control is absent or of a formal nature.
Bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman - here the use of Methane is still part of the training and competitive process.
Side effects of Danabol
Just like with all anabolic steroids, there are also negative aspects in addition to the positive properties. Anyone can encounter adverse reactions when using anabolic steroids, avoiding all recommendations and contraindications. All negative manifestations occur as a result of improper nutrition and against the background of severe hormonal imbalances, as well as in the presence of genetic characteristics that the user chose not to pay attention to with the confidence that everything will work out. But this approach often results in the following reactions:
- (for men) suppression of testosterone and inhibition of germ cells;
- swelling, water retention;
- drop in sexual desire;
- acne (pimples);
- deterioration of lipogram parameters;
- high blood pressure;
- deterioration of liver function indicators;
- load on the kidneys;
- load on the digestive system;
- dizziness, headaches;
- pain in the heart;
- irritability;
- swelling, water retention;
- weakness ;
Reducing possible risks when taking Danabol is not enough just by adding other anabolic steroids; it will also require drug intervention and nutritional correction. It won’t hurt to follow these rules: do not exceed the dosage of the drug, do not take it for too long, check your body at least once a month, and perform PCT correctly.
Reviews about the use of Methane
Over time, the victorious march of the drug around the world began to be overshadowed by statements from doctors and scientists about the side effects of methane.
It turned out that this medicine also has a lot of negative manifestations.
Many users - bodybuilders, weightlifters, throwers - unanimously began to talk about the use of methane and its side effects.
The most common negative effects of methane were as follows:
- Liver toxicity
With prolonged use or high dosages, the drug creates a load on the liver. Which in extreme cases can lead to hepatitis (jaundice).
- Suppresses the production of your own testosterone
This happens already after 2-3 weeks of use. The longer the cycle, the greater the decrease in testosterone production in the body.
- Provokes acne (steroid acne)
- Exacerbates chronic diseases
- Often increases blood pressure and thickens the blood
And this can cause various cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack.
- Provokes uncontrollable aggression (steroid rage)
As a result, three groups of opinions were formed about Methandienone and corresponding reviews about this drug:
- The first group of athletes, coaches and scientists insists that the harm of methane is greatly exaggerated
If you use close to therapeutic dosages, short dosing cycles, and sufficient rest periods from consuming methane, then there will be minimal or no adverse reactions.
- The second group, although they recognize the beneficial properties of the drug, focus more on why methane is harmful.
They argue their point of view by the fact that in bodybuilding the generally accepted dosages of methane are several times higher than medical ones.
And the duration of the steroid course can be 3-4 months.
In such a situation, side effects are guaranteed. And some of them are even irreversible.
- The third group insists on the “golden mean”
Here they calmly treat the use of steroids as one of the means for quickly and effectively building muscle mass and increasing strength.
But methane intake should occur under medical supervision and regular blood tests.
This is necessary in order to notice unfavorable changes in time and take precautions in a timely manner.
How do Danabol tablets work?
The active substance binds to androgen receptors of cells, providing not only androgenic, but also anabolic effects. This explains the rapid effect achieved.
In just one course, you can overcome the plateau in strength stagnation and reach a new level of performance. If you approach the application incorrectly, then fluid retention will occur and all the ensuing consequences against the background of increased aromatization.
When taking Danabol, it seems to most inexperienced people that muscle mass is increasing every day and week, but in reality there is a general gain in body weight with uncontrolled attention to hormonal levels and nutrition.
Methane, like most steroids, has an anabolic function, which allows you to accelerate the synthesis and transport of proteins. By getting good nutrition and keeping your hormones in check, you can significantly improve your body weight composition and gain more muscle.
Tips for solo use and dosage
Taking only one anabolic steroid is called a “solo” cycle.
In this regard, Methane is probably the most common drug that is most often used independently.
Medical instructions for use for medicinal purposes recommend using 1-2 tablets (each containing 5 mg of active substance) per day.
The maximum daily dose is 10 mg, and the duration of administration is 4 weeks.
For beginners, even such therapeutic dosages have a pronounced anabolic effect.
The norm for the first course on Methane is considered to be a weight gain of 4-6 kg per month.
But after 2-3 courses, medical dosages stop producing muscle growth. Then users begin to increase the dose.
Depending on body weight, the daily norm can be 20-40 mg .
Anything higher is considered no longer appropriate, since the risk of adverse reactions begins to exceed the positive properties of the drug.
The duration of the cycle is gradually increased to 6-8 weeks of use.
It is believed that using a similar regimen for taking methane solo, you can achieve noticeable gains in muscle mass and reduce the risk of negative effects to a minimum.
Newbie about Danabol.
“I chose Danabol as a drug for the first course from a variety of drugs, since I was attracted by the low cost of this drug, and I read the reviews about Danabol in advance, in which this drug is characterized only on the positive side. I took Danabol 2 tablets a day for 4 days, a small dosage would not cause any adverse reactions. Already in the first days I felt an increase in physical strength. Then I decided to increase the dosage and already took 3 tablets a day in the morning after breakfast. Over the entire course, my muscles increased by 7 kg. There was fluid in the muscles, they were not very dry, but basically I was happy with the result, since it was more important for me to increase physical strength.” Ivan, Kineshma, 22 years old
Combined methane intake and rollback effect
It is also practiced to take Danabol simultaneously with other types of anabolic steroids. This is a combined technique, which is also called “on the lining.”
Methandienone combines well with most modern steroids.
There is one rule here:
Since methane is a tablet drug, it is combined with injectable steroids so as not to increase the load on the liver.
That is, using methane and another steroid in tablets together is a bad idea. And using it with an injection drug is normal.
The most effective combinations:
- Methane + Testosterone
- Methane + Deca-Durabolin
- Methane + Trenbolone
At the end of the reception, a “rollback” effect is observed. This means loss of muscle mass and strength.
Since part of the weight gained is due to fluid retention in the body, immediately after stopping the use of methandienone, part of the weight is lost along with water (1-2 kg).
The more powerful the dosage and duration of use of the steroid cycle, the more significant the loss of muscle mass and strength at its end.
The explanation here is simple:
When using large dosages of anabolic steroids, the level of testosterone in the body artificially increases tens of times. This entails an impressive increase in muscle volume.
But as soon as the course is stopped, the test level drops below the physiological level , since the production of its own is suppressed.
As a result, the hormonal system is unable to maintain large muscle mass and the body begins to “get rid” of it.
To prevent the effect of muscle collapse and quickly restore the hormonal system, bodybuilders practice post-cycle therapy.
Reviews about Danabol after 1 course.
“I have been going to the gym for 2 and a half years, during which time I have increased my muscles by 11 kg. I thought for a long time about how to make muscle growth faster. One of my friends advised me to take Danabol, since he himself had used it several times. For a long time I hesitated to resort to this remedy, because I was afraid that such drugs could negatively affect my health. But still, I decided to evaluate this product from personal experience and purchased 2 packs of Danabol. I took 3 tablets daily before training, 2-3 hours before training. I took the course for 8 weeks and my muscles increased by 6 kg. I was very surprised by such a high result. The muscles were much larger and more prominent, and there was absolutely no fluid in the muscles. Strength indicators have also increased significantly. So if you are a beginner who is embarrassed to go to the gym with low performance, I strongly recommend this product to you.”
Igor, Voronezh, 25 years old
Post-cycle therapy (PCT)
Let us immediately note that when using methane solo (in small and medium dosages), with a cycle duration of 4-6 weeks, there is no need for post-cycle therapy.
After such relatively light cycles, the body independently restores its functions in 4-5 weeks.
PCT is advisable to use after “heavy” steroid courses. This is when a combination of two or more drugs is used, with high dosages for 12 or more weeks.
In this situation, the suppression of one’s own hormonal system is quite serious. And full recovery may take several months.
To speed up the process of launching the endocrine system, a number of drugs are used. The leaders are Gonadotropin and Clomid (Tamoxifen).
But in fact, a powerful steroid course is a serious blow to hormones in order to self-medicate. It is better to seek help from endocrinologists.
How to take methandienone correctly?
Danabol is easy to take. The basic rule is to divide the dosage into 4-5 doses throughout the day. The optimal dosage is 60 mg; beginners can start with 30 mg. If you decide to take large dosages, then you can only take them under the constant supervision of doctors and with extensive experience in taking various courses of steroids.
Beginners often take the pills alone - without testosterone injections. But steroid courses without testosterone carry a lot of negative effects from a drop in its natural level, which often has a bad effect on the patient’s strength and well-being. Methandienone performs much better in various combinations with testosterone.
In addition to testosterone, boldenone, nandrolone, masteron and more experienced trenbolone are often added to Danabol during the cycle.
Nadrolone is even better at helping you gain weight. The combination is only suitable with parallel testosterone injections. If you decide to add nadrolone, monitor your diet and hormonal levels even more closely.
An effective combination is Danabol and testosterone propionate. The duration of the steroid course is 8 weeks. Danabol should be taken 30-40 mg per day, and propionate injections should be 100 mg. h/d. From the very first day of taking it, you need to add anastrozole. Testosterone eliminates deficiencies and increases the effectiveness of the cycle.
Masteron (100-150 mg daily) in combination with Danabol (30-40 mg per day) and testosterone propionate (100 mg daily) provide an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced ones. This combination allows you to achieve impressive strength gains and achieve better muscle gain at the same time. Thus, the increase in muscle mass becomes better due to Masteron, and health control on this course is less complicated.
PCT after methane
At the end of the course, after 2-3 days, it is necessary to carry out post-cycle therapy (PCT), which is usually carried out with Tamoxifen (10-20 mg per day) or Clomid (25-50 mg per day) for 3-4 weeks (during the last weeks, the dosage should be gradually reduced until the drug is completely stopped). It is also advisable to additionally use testosterone boosters, zinc, and omega-3 during PCT. They contribute to a faster restoration of the secretion of your own testosterone. During the cycle and PCT, it will not be superfluous to consume additional sports nutrition: protein, amino acids, BCAA, vitamin-mineral complexes, etc.
