Oral AAS: Is there any real reason to use them outside of Show Prep?

For that matter do you even need them for contest? I'm curious what the consensus is among "seasoned" users? I've never had Liver Issues, my labs are pristine for a 45yr old but I just can't tolerate any more than 3-4wks or any orals besides Proviron (non-C17-alpha alkylated). Even Anavar tends to ruin my appetite after a few weeks. I still end up on Oral Winstrol and/or Halotestin for the final prep weeks.

Do you use them regularly? Does anyone else have tolerance issues with orals?

I can legitimately feel my organs aching after 4 weeks usage, so I typically top out around there, although I haven't touched an oral aside from cialis or provirion in over a year.

Winny, I don't have many issues with, shockingly.

Anavar, I don't run high doses (no more than 40/day) but after 4 weeks, I feel like I'm just poisoning myself.

Blue Hearts dbol destroy me so I won't touch even a glass of wine while on that. 4 weeks max

Halo, I've never run for more than a week.

Drol hurts after 2 weeks at 100/day prewo

Superdrol, I'll never touch again.

After these orals, I crush ALA and NAC like skittles for the next couple weeks, then I give blood....(knock on wood), so far my enzymes are in check.

Most make me feel bloated and have no appetite, except Halo...which I run for 3 weeks pre-workout than off for a long period. I get great results from d-bol but I am never hungry when I take it at 50mg / day.

I don't "feel" bad on orals, even for an extended period of time.

However:
proviron and winny make my hair fall out,
anadrol, didn't respond at 50mg/day--very strange
dbol is great at even low doses of 20mg/day, but hold lots of water
anavar is awesome at 10-40mg/day, I'm on it almost 50% of the time (gives me the farts)
tbol is awesome at 40mg/day, I feel it's dbol, but drier. This steroid is underrated, IMO
halo is fine, but I didn't see anything or feel anything dramatic

Summary: anavar and tbol!

Yes, I'm pretty much the same. I agree with you about Tbol. It's underated in our community.

I do feel stomach bothers me though after going over 4 weeks on Drol or Dbol. On any orals, I run NAC throughout. IMO, it's a huge help and a must have. Keeps my blood tests within acceptable ranges.

I heard of people who will use them in place of injectables as they are afraid of needles.

I can't say if there is a "reason" but I have run Var at shockingly enough 2 years straight at 40-50mg per day and never felt bad from it.

I did, however, have some really bad cholesterol readings at one point so I took a few months off and usually run it nearly year round sill with no APPARENT ill effects and am still standing:p
I have run for very short periods anadrol, dbol, proviron and winny in the past the drol was just about 2 weeks the dbol at very low mg dosing like 20mg pre workout for a month or so and the winny only until my shoulders were killing me prob 3 weeks max at 50mg.
Proviron was just as a gonad stimulator..........lol and maybe a month:D
I don't use nearly the doses some do thus it might be why no real negatives from them, I feel they have their place as jump starter in a cycle or as a finishing compound for an event etc but the Var just has me hooked for great pumps and helping to keep me lean year round,

I like orals in limited amounts. Fast acting, almost instant size and strength gains.

1. Winny: I've done up to 80mg per day with the only sides being dry joints after 3-4 weeks.
2. Drol: Makes me feel like I have the flu, same with Halo
3. Var: Never had the real thing. Got something that said it was var but it also said GP on it so.......
4. Proviron: I don't wanna do a cycle without it. Makes everything else work better. If you are on 500mg test and toss in 50mg of proviron it's like taking 750.
5. Dbol: A gift from the baby Jesus! Best thing to happen to working out since the barbell. Every cycle for the first 4-5 weeks at 20-30mg per day.

Orals are just plain old fun... especially drol and halo. Instant gains in strength and drol just makes me look like a damn freak!

I don't really get the toxic feeling from them except when I run drol at 150 for 6 weeks. So I usually just stop there.

Liver values get a little messed up but they bounce right back.

I do not use a lot of orals.
Rarely ever for the last several years. I've tried them
Though, about all of them many different time.

I wouldn't let a show or contest
Decide if I want to try it or not tho

Well, it looks like most of us old timers feel the same and use orals in moderation. It's that word "need" that I will reply too and for me its easy. I would say overwhelmingly no with one exception. I think a seasoned or even just a strong lifter needs to have a callogen builder in his cycle. That could be deca or npp, but if the oils all slow down callogen sysnethesis such as the ever popular Test/Tren cycle then anavar should be added to minimize injury. Many a quad or tri has been torn from these cycles as they destroy connective tissue while packing on slabs of muscle.

So var would be a yes in certain circumstances.
