i did deca for my first cycle and i was happy but now i look back and wished i had done differently. just my opinion but think about test and eq instead of deca.

What does your diet look like ? Are you geting in enough clean cals and Protein ? Try to get about 280 grams of Protein per day and start eating like a mad man. If you are going to do your first cycle I would recommend this
D-Bol at 25-30mg/Day for weeks 1-4
Test at 500mg/week for weeks 1-10
Eq at 300-400mg/week for weeks 1-12
Clomid starting 3 weeks after your last shot of Eq. Make sure you get in those cals and watch your self grow. Hope this helps, if you have any questions you can e-mail me anytime. Best of luck!

I think 20 is a pretty good age to start and you are most likely fully matured physically. Have you tried supplements and creatine first? Always make sure you gain as much as you can naturally, and then consider roids to help you a little.

Deca would be ok. A little test would be even more potent at putting on a little size though. It won't take much your first time to gain a good 10-15 lbs or so. Take a little Primo when you are coming off the test. I have had great success with this for keeping my gains.

Except for the extreme cycle mustang recommended at the end, he is right about your diet.

If you do a cycle then do a Deca cycle lik this:

Deca
200mg/week
300
300
400
400
300
300
200

Deca is fine. Try stacking some d-bol with it though for better size gains. 20 years old and only 140??

I love Mustang's cycle recommendation (my only change would be to start EQ at week 3 & run through week 10, test for 8 weeks). It's a classic mass cycle with EQ replacing Deca (the original standard in this cycle). I believe a lot of the old notions of pyramiding with Deca-only or 250mg Test/week only as appropriate 1st cycles is getting a bit dated. With the anti-e's available, someone approaching this cycle seriously/intelligently with virgin receptors can benefit a great deal. Obviously, gyno is the major concern, but this can be effectively dealt with (& the majority of us are not prone anyways) by using proviron or nolvadex, or arimidex & clomid. Toxicity issues can be handled with milk thistle, cranberry extract & tons of H20, etc.

My feelings are, any amount of gear opens up some possibilities that are unappealing, however, if you're gonna take the plunge, you may as well do it right and get the most out of it. A low dosage Deca only cycle would have a lot of us regretting later, how we used our 1st cycle. Anyways, its just my opinion, if you were to grow tits afterwards, & your hairline receded, obviously you are gonna wish you went with 2Thick's recommendation. If you're cut out for gear, physically & mentally & particularly responsibility wise, Mustang's cycle as a 1st is gonna have you very pleased, but if there are any doubts, go with 2Thicks.

My Good Lord,

Here we go again with the EXTREME INSAN-O-CYCLE bashing....500mg's per week of test IS NOT high....

The cycle Mustang laid out is very nice for a 1st time....will not be any sides...and if so, minimal at best...clomid and nolva on hand will take care of them nicely....

Deca only, or Deca for a 1st time is a waste amd will leave you wondering what happened to your gains....EQ will increase your vascularity, appetite, and only aromatizes into a simple estrogen....Deca has the affinity to bind to, and activate the Progest. recepters...this brings a totally different side effect into the picture...TEST is king, and should be the base for all first time users....

What got you this far in life Bro...??? Test of course...it's flowing through your veins as you read this....Go with Mustang and enjoy the growth....go with 2Thick and start yawning after 8 weeks....

I gained 30lbs off my first cycle which was deca/dbol. I only used 400mg deca/week, and 30mg dbol/day. At the end I ended up gaining 30lbs and keeping all of it. So I wasn't disappointed at all. Your diet, training, and rest are much more important than how much or what you take...
