deca is great! I like it and have no problems. Every anabolic's sides get overblown on this board. I've had few problems with most anabolics, and deca at 400 is great. Although I like tren more for a similar reaction, but more potent.
Im glad this thread had started because I had been thinking about it, and learning alot more about EQ...not that I want to skew the thread from its original purpose....but whats the major difference between EQ and deca...people seem to mention that EQ is a better anabolic and is less supressive...so why wouldnt deca just become obsolete to EQ?
Deca is a good for the joints (although it only masks any problems) and is very good for strength. I wouldn't bother with "deca" but NPP looks promising.
I have encountered a few bro's (myself included) that after doing a deca cycle, regardless of recuperation time, their libido was never quite the same.
I wish I could use Deca, but never will be able to use deca or fina as I'm using Finasteride (Propecia) for well over 4 years with good results (before even using AAS). Deca and 5-alpha reduktase inhibitor (like finasteride) = BAD hair loss.
