Dianabol Tablets 50mg*100 /bottle Tablets Legal Anabolic Steroids Metandienone 50 for Big Muscle

Metandienone was first described in 1955.[1] It was synthesized by researchers at the CIBA laboratories in Basel, Switzerland. CIBA filed for a U.S. patent in 1957,[20] and began marketing the drug as Dianabol in 1958 in the U.S.[1][21]

Beginning soon afterwards in 1959, CIBA collaborated with John Bosley Ziegler (a physician specializing in physical rehabilitation and an early pioneer of pharmaceutical performance enhancement) to test the effects of Dianabol on professional weightlifters. Ziegler had a close relationship with Bob Hoffman, owner of York Barbell Company and coach of the U.S. Olympic weightlifting team,[22][23] granting him access to subjects in peak performance condition.[24][21][7]

The first tentative experiments were disappointing. For example, AAU Mr. America winner Jim Park reported that "its only effect was to give him an instant erection upon seeing any female." However, Ziegler believed that Dianabol had significant potential as an anabolic. During the lead-up to the 1960 Olympics, he proposed to Hoffman that it be administered to top members of the American Olympic team. Hoffman, however, was cautious and later remarked it was "too close to give to the men who will represent the USA". According to Grimek, "apparently, he doesn’t think it will do that much good, and may even have detrimental effects, ... He appears doubtful." [7]

Instead, Dianabol was given to various lower level lifters to investigate its effectiveness and safety. Among the first subjects were John Grimek, Bill March, Charles Vinci, and Louis Riecke, as well as Ziegler and Hoffman themselves.[7] Hoffman later commented on the startling effects of the new drug, saying that "in five days I could curl and press more and I gained weight", and that "when I went to a weight lifting contest, or when I had my coat off anywhere, people would say, ‘Where did you get all those muscles?’”.[7] Riecke gained muscle mass and strength rapidly, and reported a "constant feeling of euphoria and energy." His results drew enormous interest among other elite weightlifters, and rumors spread that Ziegler had made a major breakthrough in his research. He attempted to deflect their curiosity with hints of new isometric and hypnotic techniques.
