The Perfect Oral-Only Anabolic Steroid Cycle

Q: “I want to know how to do an oral-only cycle. I’ve been following your writing since the old misc.fitness.weights days and know that you really don’t care for oral only cycles, and have said more than once that if a person is afraid to use a needle then they’re not ready to use anabolic steroids. I really wouldn’t disagree with that, and I have no fear of using a needle. I’ve done many cycles of injected testosterone. My issue is that I will be traveling and staying in close quarters with other people and I will not have the privacy needed to keep vials and needles with me. How can I get excellent results despite using no injectables?”

A: That indeed is a very sound reason to omit injectables.

The downside of course is that using injectables allows a large percentage, or the entirety, of a cycle to be non-liver-toxic, whereas usually all of an orals-only cycle will be liver-toxic.

An exception can be where Primobolan oral (methenolone acetate) is used, but usually this is not practical for cost reasons. Although oral, it is not liver toxic due to its lack of a 17-methyl group.

However, as I don’t know your situation there, nonetheless I’ll start with oral Primobolan acetate as a possible option. If taken as a powder purchased directly from China, the cost can be within reason.

Where this is done, I recommend using 200-300 mg/day in divided doses, with for example 3-5 doses per day. While this may sound like a large amount – it would work to 1400-2100 mg/week – the effect, and therefore the amount reaching circulation, is comparable to only roughly 400-600 mg/week or perhaps a bit less.

The Primobolan alone will not be very effective, just as Primobolan injectable alone is not very effective, but in combination with Dianabol 25-50 mg/day results can be very good.

Where Primobolan oral is not available, then for an oral-only cycle I’d stack oxandrolone at 50-75 mg/day with Dianabol. This can give excellent results.

As these cycles include 17-alkylated steroids, or are composed entirely of them, I’d limit duration to 6 weeks.

An anti-aromatase may be needed to avoid estrogenic effects from aromatization of Dianabol, depending on individual sensitivity.

Winstrol oral can of course be used to good effect, but it may have worse effect on blood lipid profile and liver enzymes than anabolically-comparable amounts of Dianabol. However, if personally liking it, it certainly can be combined with any of the above oral-only stacks.

Bill Roberts is an internationally-recognized expert on anabolic steroids and performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). He received a bachelor degree in Microbiology and Cell Science and completed the educational and research requirements for a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry at a major American university.

Bill entered the nutritional supplement industry prior to completing his doctoral thesis but his education was invaluable so far as being able to design/improve nutritional supplement compounds, since it was in the field of designing drug molecules and secondarily some work in transdermal delivery.

His education was not specifically "geared" toward anabolic steroids other than expertise with pharmacological principles having broad applications. This has allowed Bill to provide unique insight into the field of anabolic pharmacology with knowledge of points which he would not have known otherwise.
