Anabolic Bodybuilding They Took 100mg DBol a Day… The Results Shocked Even Scientists
Jan 7, 2026
A groundbreaking study on Dianabol challenges conventional gym wisdom. Weight gain from Dbol might not mean real muscle but mainly fluid and glycogen. Researchers reveal how nitrogen retention indicates muscle changes, while potassium spikes suggest water retention. Rapid gains can be impressive, but they often fade after stopping the supplement. The risks include increased blood pressure and acne, making it crucial to weigh short-term size against long-term health effects. Tune in for insights that every lifter needs!

Episode notes
Weight Gain ≠ Muscle Mass
- Scale weight gains don't reveal composition; Dbol can increase water, glycogen, minerals, and nitrogen rather than contractile protein.
- Big Paul explains that researchers used potassium and nitrogen to infer whether gains were real muscle or mostly fluid.
Leverage Temporary Gains For Long-Term Growth
- Use Dbol's nitrogen and fluid effects to temporarily boost training capacity, but don't mistake this for pure hypertrophy.
- Leverage short-term fullness to push heavier lifts, then pursue long-term progressive overload for real muscle.
Potassium Points To Intracellular Fluid
- The study showed body weight, potassium, and limb circumferences rose on Dbol while fat stayed the same.
- Researchers noted potassium increases suggested a change in lean composition but couldn't confirm true contractile tissue.
