Since I am frequently asked about these two compounds and how they differ and compare to one another, I thought I would make a thread addressing this issue. I just finished a four week cycle of anadrol @50-100mg ED. I also recently ran dbol mid cycle during my last run at 50-75mg ED.
Strength: Both compounds resulted in huge strength increases.
Endurance: Dianabol has the edge here. I found my cardio and general muscular endurance to be slightly lower on anadrol.
Appetite: Dianabol again has the edge here. Anadrol especially at 100mg suppressed my appetite to the point where I had to force feed myself. This was also in the presence of GHRP-6, which stimulates appetite. Once I backed the dose down to 50-75mg ED, my appetite returned. Dianabol, on the other hand, makes me hungry 24/7.
Sides: Surprisingly, Anadrol has the edge here. Due to the heavy aromatization of dianabol, if I didn't increase my AI dose I would get gyno. I had no such problems with anadrol even in the presence of a fairly hefty test dose. I was only running 12.5mg of Aromasin ED, as well.
Pumps: Anadrol gave me skin tearing pumps within the first week of use. Dianabol results in good pumps as well, but not nearly as fierce as anadrol. I even had to cut some bi training short due to these vicious pumps.
Weight gain: Anadrol put 3lbs on me within the first week alone, but total weight gain was very similar to dianabol. Dianabol takes about a week longer to fully kick in for me, but once it does, my weight and the weights increase across the board. The first time I ran anadrol however, I gained 30lbs in four weeks. Keep in mind though, that was before I knew about on cycle AI use, and a lot of that was bloat.
General overall feeling: Dianabol wins this one hands down. Dianabol promotes a general feeling of well-being, and you simply feel like a god. Anadrol left me slightly lethargic and at high doses on some days I felt like complete shit.
Which one is better?
IMO it is dianabol, although there are many people who would refute that. I think,like everything else, it comes down to an individual's preferences and goals. If used correctly, both will result in dramatic strength and weight gain with moderate sides and make a great addition to any cycle where this is the goal.
