It’s a great steroid w few side effects. Makes you stronger, feel a bit more assertive, and gives you that permapumped feel that you get with other orals. haven’t checked prices recently but at the time I chose it over anavar for costs reasons, it was less than half the price.
I love dbol but it’s impractical between the water retention and the other estrogen side effects.
They use steroids completely differently from bodybuilders, they just want enough to allow them to recover quicker so they can train more often. Hence the low dosages. At the elite levels, the margin between first and second is so slim, even the slightest edge can be enough.
Think of Victor Conte with BALCO. the two steroids he pushed were quite weak but they apparently helped with recovery to make a significant difference in the performances of his athletes.

Yes they use them a little, a lot, differently. A shot putter or weightlifter though might use a lot heavier than a cyclist, here more would be better in many cases, such a short exertion. Cyclists microdose and would use orals a lot differently even if they could, those high doses would not be done. They use doses that do not make you cramp or cause you to hold any water. You do NOT want a pump everSo it's like a max of 100mg of test a week or just some oral test undecanoate after hard training, maybe an Anavar here and there after particularly taxing exertion. They love the ultimately catabolic hormones, corticosteroids (acute mental effects and helps to liberate substrates for energy). Conte's athletes did that test/epitest combo cream (to keep normal test:epitest ratio) and then the tetrahydrogestrinone that Patrick Arnold made, which Pat found in the Julius Vida book where all the steroids ever synthesised are described, stuff that never went into use anywhere. Insulin was like 3iu post workout. In some Russian doping manuals they used 1 single unit of insulin. Many bodybuilders use 50iu just around training, sometimes with a baseline of 100+ of Lantus. Fun fact: all the Olympic athletes use Viagra for the now proven facts that it increases protein synthesis, a small boost in test, and possible effects on endurance. Politically you can't ban that shit, what do you mean I can't use Viagra for my limp dick? Lol. There are a lot of legal drugs that can be used as PEDs, such as simple acetaminophen. Someone claims the tanning drug Melanotan is the most used PED today due to its effects on hematology - not banned.
