Many steroids users, blame Dianabol to be causing back pumps after just 2-3 weeks of cycling in a moderate dosage of 30mg each day. If you ask around you get plenty of opinions, some of users confirming your suspicion, while others not even in a higher dosage than you. Where the truth lies? Well, both parts are right, because while back pumps with orals are quite common, they are not a side effects that all AAS users encounter.
The reasons behind Dianabol back bumps
The explanation of why Dianabol may cause back pumps rely first of all, on its water retention effect. When mixed with another effect – increased blood flow, which increases even more when lifting weights, lower muscles are the first to suffer. That’s why Dianabol is well known for causing huge pumps, and sometimes it becomes unbearably painful.
Aside of this, since Dianabol is an oral it can be quite toxic to your kidney. So that not rare are cases when lower back pain is caused by kidney problems. That’s why before jumping to any conclusions is better to do a kidney check and make sure that your kidney is in good condition and you’re facing a Dianabol side effect. Because if this is the case, simply ceasing Dbol use will solve the problem, while in all other situations you risk having your kidney damaged in the long run.
Another factor of you back pain could be the workout itself. Being on Dianabol enhances your training potential and you might be tempted to lift heavier weights than usual. While this is good in general, putting more stress on your lower back muscle when you already experience a kind of discomfort is a big no-no. Adding to this that during AAS consumption muscles are deprived of a series of substances, you get a better picture of why your lower muscles swell and hurt like hell.
How to get rid of Dbol back pumps
1 Get off Dbol use for few weeks
The best you can do when feeling severe lower back pain is to stop Dianabol use at all for 2-3 weeks and see is your back pain is still there. You will see if this is another side effect of Dbol use and you will get control of it next time you are about to bring Dbol back in your cycles.
2 Reduce Dbol cycle time
Because we know that getting off Dianabol when you are on your way to gain huge muscles is easier said than done, a second option is to just cut down the length of Dbol cycle. A common cycle length of a Dianabol stack is about 10 weeks. We recommend you to reduce the Dianabol cycle to up to 6 weeks and be completely out of it in the 8th week.
3 Take Taurine or have more energy drinks
Taurine is a type of amino acids used to relieve excessive pain caused by anabolic steroids use. It just frees up the blood supply in the area you feel pain, improving blood flow and this way lessening up the pumps. What have Taurine in common with energy drinks? Well, taurine is a basic component of almost all energy drinks, so in case you can’t get your hands on Taurine tables, having more energy drinks could help to reduce back pain.
4 Drink more water
Stick to 4 liters of water intake per day or even more. You may not realize how failing to drink enough water is causing serious health problems and how many of them disappear by simply getting hydrated. Aside of sweating intensively in the gym, taking orals AAS is also putting a huge stress on your kidney. Improve your water drinking routine and you will be surprised with the way you feel in just a few days.
5 Lower your carbs intake
Apparently, eating more carbs is going to worse your lower back pain so it’s better to reduce their intake. This is related to the massive amounts of glycogen entering the muscles and liver and making that bumps unbearable. Dieting around Dbol use can be a good way to go but it’s still not 100% sure method that you will not experience back pain.
Conclusion
Don’t take lower back pains as a normal part of cycling Dianabol, because it’s not.Sharp pain is definitely a sign that something is wrong and you are not facing a simple Dbol side effect. Switching the steroid may be of help to rule out all other side effects and keep your blood clean.
On the other hand, if it feels tight than one of the above-mentioned remedies may help you to mitigate the Dianabol back pumps. Reducing the Dbol dosage and supplementing with Taurine are just two of methods that seem to help most of those who suffered from back pains caused by oral AAS.
