What Should I Expect From A Dianabol-only Cycle Without A Test Base Be
The "No‑Compound" Anabolic Steroid Cycle
A concise, evidence‑based guide for the cautious practitioner
---
1. What is meant by "no‑compound"?
In bodybuilding parlance, "no‑compound" refers to a steroid regimen that does not rely on an oral progestin (e.g., testosterone propionate, nandrolone decanoate) or a non‑androgenic anti‑estrogen (e.g., tamoxifen).
The cycle is built entirely around anabolic–androgenic steroids (AAS) that have high androgenicity but also retain some estrogenic activity—typically nandrolone decanoate, testosterone enanthate/isodurene, stanozolol, and/or trenbolone acetate.
The goal: maximize muscle anabolism while minimizing side‑effects such as gynecomastia, acne, or fluid retention.

1. The "Classic" AAS‑Only Cycle
Day Steroid (Dose) Rationale
0 Nandrolone Decanoate – 200 mg/weekly Strong anabolic with minimal estrogenic side‑effects. Provides a solid base for subsequent steroids.
7 Trenbolone Acetate – 50 mg BID (100 mg daily) High potency, stimulates protein synthesis and nitrogen retention; no estrogen conversion.
14 Nandrolone Decanoate – 200 mg/weekly + Trenbolone Acetate – 50 mg BID Synergistic effect: nandrolone for long‑term gains, trenbolone for rapid muscle accrual.
21 Continue same regimen; add DHT (5% or 10%) – 1–2 g/day orally if desired for increased strength and decreased body fat. DHT is a potent androgen without estrogenic side effects but may cause hair loss in susceptible individuals.
Key Points:
Trenbolone acetate has a short half‑life (~6–8 h). Daily dosing is needed to maintain stable levels.
The combination of nandrolone and trenbolone can provide both anabolic (Nand) and catabolic/leaning effects (Tren), helping in body recomposition during cutting cycles.
If you want a smoother profile, consider trenbolone enanthate or trenbolone hexahydrobenzylidene‑acetate (THA); they have longer half‑lives (~12–14 h) and allow for 2‑day intervals.
5. Dosage & Cycle Recommendations
Hormone Suggested Dose Range (mg/d) Typical Cycle Length Notes
Testosterone Enanthate 200–400 mg per week (≈30–60 mg/day) 8–12 weeks Use with a proper aromatase inhibitor.
Testosterone Propionate 50–75 mg every other day 4–6 weeks Good for quick "kick‑starts."
Testosterone Undecanoate (Nebido) 300–500 mg every 8–10 weeks 12–18 months Less frequent dosing; good for long‑term stability.
Estradiol Valerate 0.5–2 mg per week 4–6 weeks Only with aromatase inhibitor and no prior estrogen exposure.

Final Takeaway
Yes, you can safely use testosterone if you have never had estrogen before.
But you must use a proper protocol (aromatase inhibitors or careful estradiol dosing) to prevent side‑effects.
Always start with the lowest effective dose and work under medical supervision.
