Personal Reviews

We’ve gathered some anonymous testimonials from Anadrol users:

“Pros: excellent for strength and mass, recovery. First roid I ever took (with 500mg test) and it was exactly what I hoped steroids would be. I blew the fuck up. Pumped all the time.

Cons: high blood pressure, didn’t feel anything at 50mg but at 100mg I had fairly frequent nose bleeds and headaches. No other steroid has made me so mad, I had visceral violent thoughts over stuff that I’d normally forget about.” source

 

“I’ll echo what some others have said. It’s the oral that makes you look and feel like you’re on steroids. The pumps I had were unbelievable. My diet was 300p, 1200c, 30-50f. Absolutely looked huge and full. The strength gains may have been there but I didn’t test them because I’m not getting injured again, fuck that.

The two things that sucked were the water retention and back pumps. I held so much water my ankles got swollen like a preggo. The back pumps were so insane I couldn’t even make my food without holding onto the counter to take the load off my back. I would even get back pumps driving in my car, where I couldn’t do anything about it other than squirm a bit which gave me anxiety.” source

 

“PROs

•PUMPS. Delicious pumps inside the gym, with a satisfying residual pump that lasts the majority of the day.

•increased vascularity at 50mg, more pronounced at 100mg

•strength gains are there, but superdrol and mtren take the cake here.

•great for dieting. Stunts appetite and provides great nitrogen retention.

•no water retention because I know how to use an AI

CONs

•blood pressure is noticeably elevated at 100mg

•the drop in appetite makes for a poor choice during a “bulk”

•I become uniquely irritable while using anadrol. Lower threshold for stupid questions and higher dislike of fat people.

-Review Overall, I love anadrol. My preference is to run it at 50mg a day for 8-10 weeks, with a good anabolic to back it up. Throughout that time period I’ll occasionally use 100mg a day, maybe once a week.” source
