Bro, if your friend wants to do an oral only cycle, I think that's ok. The best way to put it is, you can gain on an oral only cycle....but you will get much better results stacking, such as the old test, Dbol, deca stack.
I believe that Dbol is the best oral to use if you are going to use an oral only. Another thing you have to worry about with this is, you will be so limited if you are planning on using for years, which most people do. You simply cannot use Dbol for years and years and expect to continue making progress. Steroid use is kind of an investment. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it. You will not get very far on oral only cycles.
Your friend eventually will need to overcome the fear of injecting. I don't know if he knows this, but the glutes are virtually a painless injection. I gotta tell ya, the very first time I ever injected myself (the glutes), I was amazed. I absolutely felt no pain at all. Actually, I couldn't wait til the next injection...it was fun...it became a ritual sorta. But after a couple years, it gets to be a chore.
