Is Anadrol as harsh on your system as some say.Im wanting to try it but there is alot of hype about the headaches and general unwell feeling you get from it.Ive also heard even with pct its hard to keep the gains .Whats the deal with this stuff is it worth using it?

Just like with any compound that you will introduce..there are ups and downs...this will also depend on the amount taken.
Various people have reported various side effects...those effects may not manifest equally across the board.
What is your cycle experience?
How old are you?
What weight?
What do you have in mind?
I love the androgenic compound to death---perfect match with any test/eq/deca---it is short acting of course, and this is one of its quality as well.

There may be many factors....age being one....why you are not experiencing the gains you did years ago. You could switch to anadrol from dbol I would just keep the total length of oral use to about 8 weeks max. Also be sure to run a good liver support after finishing the cycle...Liv52 is a good one. What are your dosages of sust and deca? For decent results you should run the sust EOD and the deca at least twice per week...i prefer EOD to keep blood levels stable. 250mg sust EOD, plus 400-600 weekly deca, plus 50-100mg ED drol would be fine. The thing to remember is when stopping the drol keep the injectables running for a few more weeks. This will eliminate the usual crash and allow you to stabalize before stopping everything and starting PCT.
At your age HCG will be a must for PCT. You will also need a good AI such as aromasin and clomid. Dont discount the PCT it will help with keeping most of your gains and is equally important as the cycle.

I'm not fond of orals in general. Anadrol being so strong is something I'd never try.

I have a question...
When you take Anadrol, how long is it actually going through your liver before it's finished? If you need to take other pharmaceuticals that can be potentially liver toxic, it would be wise to dose them at a different point of the day I suspect...Once it clears your liver, the liver issue is moot until your next dose, no?
drol is in you for 18 hours.....

That's the entire life of the drug though, it's not the specific phase of the metabolism required to pass it through the bloodstream. See? It's not actually metabolizing the entire 18 hours. Once it's through the liver, there is no further impediment to the liver.
the drug is In you for about 18 hours.....thats what i said.....what you are talking about is called 1st pass......or am I mistaken?

Yes. After the first pass, the drug itself is in your system, true, but the liver is no longer a part of the equation. The doctoring they do to make an oral steroid alpha alkylated is done to purposefully protect it from being inactivated and consequently metabolized and excreted without surviving it's transition to the bloodstream.
So the question I'm trying to get an answer to is, how soon after dosage is it actively being processed by the liver...how long is it before it's passed through on to the blood stream and therefore done with it's "strain" on the liver?
As a purely hypothetical example, lets say you took your Anadrol at 12 noon. Let assume it takes an hour to start passing through your liver and another 2 hours to be finished and then be active in your bloodstream and your body for the next 15 hours.
Obviously if you popped back 2 martinis at 2:00, you'd be smack dab in the middle of the liver metabolization and the concurrent strain of the Anadrol and the alcohol would be taxing to say the least. But say you popped back those same martinis at 9:00 at night? The liver has finished with the Anadrol, and so only your alcohol would be passing through your liver, and therefore there would be no extra toxicity issue, right?
This was purely example as I think it'd be stupid to drink like that as a rule during a cycle regardless, but I'm just trying to give an example to be clearer..

I'm thinking about it leading up to a powerlifting meet, but if I wasn't competing and just wanted to make gains and look better, I'd personally go for something else... that's just me though.

Anadrol is a BEAST. I defy any other steroid to put on mass and strength like this one.
Are the sides exaggerated? I feel yes.
The 17aa alteration makes this one mother****ing bioavailable oral but it almost taxes you liver to death...well not literally. You have to just watch it on Anadrol. I mean it's used on aids and cancer patients so how bad can it be? Limit use to 6 weeks and you'll be fine.
That said unless you need massive gains in a short period or compete in strength meets I would skip it.It's very powerful and taxing on your body.
Check out which diseases the FDA approved Anadrol for and you'll see it can't be 1/2 as dangerous as people say.

Anadrol is a BEAST. I defy any other steroid to put on mass and strength like this one.
Unfortunately it still doesn't seem to work as dramatically for people like myself. As I posted in my introductions not long ago, I'm one of those naturally slim people. 5'10, small boned..I've been weighing in around 142 lbs for years now. I did a few cycles back years ago and my very first one that was all test and Deca, I went up to 156 lbs. Even though it dropped down after PCT to about 152 give or take....my musculature was permanently altered. Even though the scale didn't look dramatically better, I had a body that had more lean body mass and a much more athletic physique then before.
This lasted for a good couple of years as I was still working out at the gym. I got back on the wagon this year and started working out in earnest in January. I started a cycle around Feb 8th or so...and was taking Anadrol for the first 3 weeks. Well it worked..no major sides...a little bit of headaches and a funny feeling I can't describe well, but I went up to 148 in a couple of weeks.
Unfortunately (and it's happened before...I'm a born loser with anything I try to do to put on weight...), I got a flu or possible bacterial infection...not sure which, but it was a week and a half of little appetite and in the beginning of it, a 5 day fever of 145 that I had to keep taking Advil for like Chiclets until the antibiotic (or coincidentally the course of the flu) ran it's course. Then I dropped right down to 140! Maddening beyond belief..
So this was into the second week of injections..500 mg of test cyp and 600 mgs of EQ a week. It's now the 4th week (from the onset of the flu) and I'm back up to 147. My body looks good with clothes off, well defined musculature and very rock hard biceps, pecs, and people have noticed it, but I still can't put on any F*cking true MASS. It's a curse to have a naturally slim build when you want to bulk up. I eat a lot of food, and people hate me that I can do so without becoming fat, but it's still a huge impediment to becoming muscular and large. For ONCE in my life I'd love to reach 170 lbs and stay there!
I can really feel the pump in the gym when I work out, and there's no question the gear is real to a degree...(how can you be SURE it's actually Andarol though and not whatever a UG lab might put in there? You can't).
So my point was that for someone like me, even Anadrol doesn't just blow me up 20 lbs plus. Nothing has even remotely come close to that kind of gain. Genetics are necessary as well in my opinion.
I had definite confirmation that the A-drol was real enough as to steroidal (even though I know this source well and I have zero doubt of his integrity...it's been 8 years plus), because on my blood work that happened to coincide with the 5th day on the orals alone it showed my free testosterone rise from 37 a month ago to 114 which is higher than the normal range. I waited until a couple of days after the blood work to start the injects as I wanted to see if the oral would show anything..
So sorry about the long personal post, but I figured a personal story would illustrate a little better how individuals and their genetic potential seem to be the ultimate determining factor in the results.
Oh and also, I managed to score some Androgel which I have been also using daily for the last 7 weeks, AND HCG 3 times a week to keep the testicles normal...so this is ALSO producing more test to the mix. Still, I just don't pack on the mass. It's frustrating as hell, but what can you do? I have to be satisfied with this small but significant gain pattern and hope that by the end of it I'll at LEAST hit 155.
Maybe when I turn 40 next year my metabolism will start slowing down a bit and I'll get more bang for the buck in terms of food.....
