Hey Rag, I did a cycle of Deca a few years ago. I used it by itself in a diamond cycle for 8 weeks. I weighed 210 before the cycle with just enough bodyfat to cover good definition. I went up to 400 mg per week at the peek. As anyone can tell you, that's a good amount of Deca. I was on a 10,000 calorie a day diet, eating all the protein and complex carbs I could get my hands on. The only mistake was that I should have drank more water. I went up to 230 by the 6th week and the only side effect I got was some good acne. I was already genetically predisposed to it, though, and had acne through puberty. My buddy did the same cycle and got 4 zits on his back and a bad attitude. I short, the side effects differ from person to person. With Deca, even in good doses, very little liver damage occurrs. I've never heard or seen anyone with gyno or hair loss resulting from a deca cycle. As far as keeping gains, you have to keep working out. You will lose some, no matter what you do. That weight is moslty water. Right now,I'm 226 and 10 % fat. The acne is long gone. Deca is the best anabolic for the least androgenic. Anything stronger would be in the testosterone area, and I don't think you want that. Your body won't keep what it doesn't need, so if you take a training break after your cycle it would be muscle suicide. Get the picture?
