We consider Dianabol the better steroid for building pure mass; however, aesthetically, trenbolone produces "higher quality" muscle gains with no water retention. Thus, taking steroids is thought to have a permanent effect on a user’s muscle myonuclei, helping them to grow bigger later in life (naturally). However, 6 months later, when the mice were subjected to strength training (this time without steroids), they grew by 30% compared to a control group that didn’t grow significantly.

Due to Dianabol’s aromatization effects and being highly estrogenic, it’s a compound that causes significant amounts of water retention. In our experience, any anabolic steroid that causes a powerful positive reaction will also cause a negative one (typically in similar measure). Other steroids, such as trenbolone or Anavar, are superior in this regard because they don’t cause extracellular water retention. Dianabol is one of the most widely used oral steroids in bodybuilding for a reason — it delivers fast, dramatic results in muscle size, strength, and workout intensity. Dianabol, also known by its chemical name Methandrostenolone or "Dbol," is a fast-acting oral anabolic steroid that played a major role in the birth of modern performance-enhancing drugs. Few anabolic steroids have the legendary status of Dianabol (Methandrostenolone).
