DECA alone -- what dosage??

[Themachine01]

A buddy of mine will be giving QV deca a try. He will not be stacking it with anything. I have never done a deca cycle by itself so I do not know what results to tell him to expect. He wants to go with 300mg/wk but I am recommending that he bumps it up to at least 400mg since he is not stacking it with anything. Agree?

 

[Canuck4]

Yes.

Just in case he's one of the unfortunate, he should be prepared to not be fucking for a while. I would not risk not being able to have sex, I'd thrown in some test with it. That's just my $.02

 

[Themachine01]

I think he will be fine with just 400mg/wk. I tried getting him to throw some test in but its out of his budget right now.

 

[Gretak9]

He may not be prone do deca dick. Only one way to find out. Tell him to go for it. There's no better way to tell how his body reacts to deca.

 

[Themachine01]

if deca dick does kick in I'll just have him throw in some enanthate to get his shit working again.

 

[wartime100]

I wouldn't go any higher than 600mg with deca. I think eq would be a better choice.

 

[Themachine01]

By itself, i would have to say deca is the better choice, but there are many who will argue both sides on this one.

I would go with 400-600 mg, but tell him to be prepared for the worst. About a year ago I ran a cycle at 600 mg of deca a week, w/ 50 mg of proviron a day. Nice lean gains with no fat gain or water retention, but my sex drive was extremely sporatic. While I had no problem maintain an erection for hours, 3 out of 4 times I could not have an orgasim, so needless to say, for her it was great, but for me it was extremely frustrating. If he is on a tight budget as you say, perhaps some cheap test & a bottle of liquidex might be a better alternative...

. . . About a year ago I ran a cycle at 600 mg of deca a week, w/ 50 mg of proviron a day. Nice lean gains with no fat gain or water retention, . . .

I thought deca caused a lot of bloating. Was it the proviron that eliminated the water retention? So you think clomid would do the same thing? Also, roughly speaking, how many pounds do you think you gained on that cycle? I'm thinking about doing something similar soon, and I'm just wondering what I might expect. Thanks.

He may use it this way:

week 1-6 400 mg

week 7 300 mg

week 8 200 mg

It's probably the best way to prevent a serious crash if used alone.

 

[Themachine01]

Deca is good to shoot once every 7 days correct while keeping blood levels stable. If it was test I could see splitting it up but I think once per week would be fine with deca.

This statement makes no sense, deca is twice as expensive as test.

 

[Themachine01]

This statement makes no sense, deca is twice as expensive as test.

the reason for this is that he has had bad acne experiences with test, so he wanted to go with something different to see if he reacts to it any better.

OK, I am not really crazy about test either.

 

[granby140]

id go 400 week but then again i never used deca

 

[bronco944]

tell him to get a bottle of enth. its only like $35. run 250 a wk just to keep sex drive up. if he cant afford the extra $35 then maybe he should hold off on his cycle. does he have clomid and nolva and enough money to eat a good diet?

 

[sergio]

I had great results with 300mg/week deca only for first cycle..15lbs solid,no water/fat. And no 'decadick'..I think that is the most overused catchphrase on this board. It's actually quite rare..

 

[Lift Chief]

To avoid deca dick he could probably also just run some proviron- if he is against using test.

 

[Aikido]

I agree with Lift Chief. Proviron has some strenght to it and it will help some. I never tried deca yet but a fina only cycle at 75mg Ed made me fucking challenged to get a hard on. That shut me down quite bad so now I add proviron and test to the fina cycles and it's a lot better now. Viagra for those "Wanted" long sex hours is a plus too.

 

[Zoomster]

"Deca Dick" is overused.
