Turinabol at 60mg for a lean run, is the clean strength actually worth picking it over dbol or var?

Looking for some real world takes on tbol before I commit to running it. Ive done both dbol and var, dbol blew me up and the strength was great but the bloat and the blood pressure werent worth it for me, var was clean but mild and my wallet felt it a lot more than my lifts did. Tbol keeps getting described as sitting right between the two, dry strength closer to var but with more of a kick behind it. For anyone whos run all three, is the clean dry strength actually worth picking tbol over the other two for a lean run, or is it just a middle of the road oral that does nothing special. Thinking 60mg a day on top of a test base for 5 or 6 weeks.

Ran tbol at 60 a day on a lean bulk last year and it does exactly what people say, dry strength and a bit of fullness without the dbol bloat. The strength wasnt the violent jump dbol gives but it stuck around way better and i never had to chase e2 since it doesnt aromatise. If youve run var it sits a step above on the strength feel, closer to dbol but stays dry. Just keep it to 5 or 6 weeks and run fish oil, it tanked my hdl like any 17aa oral and the joints felt a touch dry by the end.

Tbol sits right between dbol and var like people are saying, dry strength without the water and bloat dbol dumps on you. Ran it at 50 on a lean bulk and the strength came on clean, none of the puffy look, closer to var but with more of a kick behind it. It still tanks your hdl like any 17aa oral so keep it to 4 to 6 weeks, run fish oil and pull a lipid panel. And go easy on the AI since it doesnt aromatise, crashing e2 on a test and tbol run is what gives people the dry achy joints they end up blaming on the tbol itself.

Tbol is a solid reliable oral, dry strength without the dbol water. Sits nicely between dbol and var, more kick than var but cleaner than dbol. Keep it to 4 to 6 weeks and watch you do not crash e2 if you are already running an AI for the test.

Ran tbol at 60 on a lean bulk and it sits right between dbol and var like everyone says, dry like var but with more of a strength kick. Cheaper than var too and gives you more of that fullness feel where var is really just hardening. Because it doesnt aromatise you barely need any ai on a test and tbol run, watch you dont crash e2 if youre already running one for the test, dry joints and flat libido mid run is usually e2 too low not the tbol. Still tanks hdl like any 17aa so run your fish oil and get a lipid panel, keep it to 4 to 6 weeks.

Tbol is a reliable pick for a lean run. Sits between var and dbol like others have said, dry strength without the water carry. Keep it to 4 to 6 weeks, run fish oil for the lipids and pull a panel after. Good honest compound for what it sets out to do.

At 60mg ED, with regulars blood check, strong liver protection,… you can run it even 6-8weeks
Last time I ran Tbol (as long with NPP/TEST/HGH) I put some serious muscle on.
That was my dosage per week (Tbol):
40/50/50/60/60/70/70/80

The only down side i had, the over pump in the lower back and the calves

That lower back and calf pump is classic tbol, it drives glycogen and water into the muscle so the fuller you get the harder it grips. Taurine at 3 to 5g a day and keeping your water up knocks it right down, potassium helps too. Your ramp looks sensible, most sit around 40 to 60mg and that is exactly where tbol shines as a lean add on to test and npp. If the pump gets unbearable on the top weeks just drop back a notch, no need to push to 80 to feel the benefit.
