Testosterone Enanthate and Dianabol Cycle
Testosterone Enanthate and Dianabol is the combination that has stayed popular since the Golden Era of bodybuilding. This bulking cycle will help you gain muscle mass and enhance endurance and strength. Some users have reported doubling sets quantity with their current weight.
However, this cycle is for experienced users only. Both compounds have a high anabolic to androgenic ratio, are aromatizable, and can cause quite a few unwanted androgenic and estrogenic side effects.
More Information About Cycle Compounds
The Muscle Gear team took care of the cycle planning, so you could order a ready-to-use cycle with a clear protocol. You’ll find the following compounds in this pack:
- Testosterone Enanthate: a classic cycle base, slow-acting testosterone ester, capable of increasing your strength and muscle mass without daily injections;
- Dianabol: the most popular oral steroid for bulking, providing great muscle and strength gains;
- Arimidex: an estrogen blocker, useful for reducing serum estrogen levels and estrogenic side effects;
- Nolvadex: a PCT compound, used for restoring hormonal balance and natural testosterone production.
There are 22G syringes and 20G needles in the pack as well. The PCT (Nolvadex, 50 tabs) comes for free if you’ve purchased this pack.
Test E and Dbol Cycle Benefits
Even though Test E and Dianabol cycle can be harsh in terms of side effects, it’s still one of the most popular bulking cycles, because, in the end, you’ll see:
- Solid muscle mass: athletes can gain around 20 lbs over 6–8 weeks, depending on the individual response, diet, and training regimen;
- Rapid increase in strength: if you’ve benched 200 lbs before the cycle, you’ll probably bench at least 260 lbs after, or increase the quantity of sets per training;
- Fast recovery: an increase in protein synthesis rate and enhanced nitrogen retention will help your muscles to repair faster, allowing you to increase the intensity of the training.
Overall, it’s a great bulking cycle that has been tested by thousands of athletes.
Common Side Effects
Some of the side effects may include:
- Testosterone suppression;
- Acne;
- Accelerated male pattern baldness;
- Gynecomastia;
- Water retention;
- High cholesterol levels and increased risks of cardiovascular issues;
- Liver dysfunction;
- Virilization effects.
PCT and administration of aromatase inhibitors are essential for maintaining your health, mitigating estrogenic side effects (such as gyno and fluid retention), and restoring testosterone levels after the cycle.
It can be beneficial to add cardio training into your routine and take fish oil and TUDCA as supplements, to avoid an increase in cholesterol, AST, and ALT levels.
Contraindications
This cycle isn’t recommended for beginners. It’s prohibited for women due to the high risks of virilization effects. Patients who have been diagnosed with liver dysfunction, cardiovascular disorders, hypertension, prostate or breast cancer can’t go on the Test E and Dbol cycle.
PCT for Testosterone Enanthate and Dianabol Cycle
PCT and estrogen blockers can’t be overlooked on this bulking cycle. Testosterone Enanthate and Dianabol can cause severe testosterone suppression. Both of these compounds are aromatizable and their misuse can lead to gynecomastia development.
Even though it’s quite rare to see full-on breast development in males, puffy and swollen nipples can still be an issue. To avoid gynecomastia and prevent irreversible consequences, Arimidex should be taken during the cycle.
Nolvadex is used after the off-cycle gap to restore natural testosterone production. During the anabolic cycle, your body doesn’t feel the need to produce more testosterone. It can sense that your testosterone levels are through the roof; therefore, it shuts down its natural production.
To return to normal, it’s essential to go through post-cycle therapy. Especially when it comes to Dianabol (Dbol can’t be used solo, as it can shut down the HPTA system without Test).
Possible Side Effects on PCT
Arimidex side effects include:
- Nausea;
- Diarrhea;
- Hot flushes;
- High cholesterol levels;
- Hypotension;
- Sore throat.
Nolvadex can cause digestive issues, nausea, hot flashes, headaches, dizziness, liver dysfunction, visual disorders, and edema.

Common Questions About Test E and Dianabol Cycle
What Results Can I Expect From the Test and Dbol cycle?
You can expect to put on 20–28 lbs on the Test and Dbol bulking cycle, double your strength stats, and increase endurance. However, managing side effects on this cycle can be challenging.
It’s important to plan for the post-cycle therapy and add an aromatase inhibitor to avoid estrogenic side effects.
Does Dbol Affect Testosterone?
During the cycle, Dbol can increase free testosterone levels and serum. But if you’ve decided to go on a Dbol solo cycle, it can crash your natural testosterone levels, making it harder to restore them to normal. It’s better to stack Dianabol with Testosterone for muscle gains and your safety.
Can I Take Dianabol with Testosterone?
Yes, Dianabol can be stacked with Testosterone. Even though both compounds can cause estrogenic side effects and negatively impact cardiovascular health, it’s still way safer than Dianabol solo cycles.
If you’re a beginner, we recommend looking at Test solo cycles. There will be fewer side effects, but you’ll still get a solid increase in muscle mass.
