    They Took 100mg DBol a Day… The Results Shocked Even Scientists

    In this video, we break down a classic early-1980s Dianabol (Dbol) study and answer the question every gym bro argues about: Does Dbol build real contractile muscle tissue—or mostly water/“inflated” weight? We look at why scale weight and “looking bigger” doesn’t automatically mean you added true muscle protein, and how researchers used total body nitrogen + potassium to estimate what the weight gain was actually made of. Then we connect the findings to real-world outcomes lifters talk about: rapid size gains, strength bumps, and why so much of it disappears after stopping. ✅ What you’ll learn: • Why weight gain ≠ muscle gain (contractile tissue vs fluid/glycogen/minerals) • How nitrogen retention and potassium changes can hint at what’s happening inside muscle • Why Dbol can make you look full, round, and bigger fast—and why it often fades • The big tradeoffs: blood pressure, water retention, acne, estrogenic effects, gyno risk • When “quick gains” might be more illusion + leverage than long-term tissue growth You can find the full study here: https://sci-hub.se/10.1042/cs0600457 🔗 For All My Info & Resources, Visit Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/anabolicbodybuilding WARNING ======== The Video has been made available for entertainment and educational purposes only.

    UGL Steroids Lab-Tested… The Results Are HORRIFYING (2025 Study)

    A 2025 study examined UGL steroids sold in Australia to assess their purity and detect hidden contaminants, including heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium. Only 4 of 21 samples were correctly dosed, and most contained contaminants. The study raises legitimate concerns, but it also has limitations that are important to understand before drawing broad conclusions.
