To people who have used DECA...

[AAP]

would you use it again? Why or why not? Please state your reasons.

My next cycle (second one) is going to be CYP, DECA, OXANDRIN and GH.

I am thinking of keeping my deca intake around 400mg-600mg weekly. What to expect?

 

[SofaGeorge]

Deca is one of my favorite steroids. I have no clue at all why it has gotten such a bad reputation of late. In the 80s it was the #1 drug of choice. A lot of guys did deca only cycles then.

lol

I love the shit. Especially with DBol and Test.

750mg Test E/wk (week 1-12)
600mg Deca/wk (week 1-12)
40mg DBol/day (week 1-5)

Kicks ASS! Not that expensive either. (NO, I never forget Anti-E's or otehr accessory meds)

I would use Deca again because it gives nice quality gains that you keep, it helps with joint pain, and is one of the safest steroids you can use.

i liked deca

i would use it again but i remember reading somewhere that it kills cells in the testes which isnt too appealing to me! any one know the truth to that? it really helps with joint pain i wish i was back on it now (damn elbows).

Yeah, I've used deca in four of my cycles (including the one I am currently running). No doubt that deca is one of my favorites. Nice quality gains, it has helped heal injuries in my elbow, knee and ankle. Get strong off of it. Only have to shoot it once a week. Relatively pain-free shots (even with high-concentration gear).

I will say that I'm at the point where I don't like running deca throughout the entire cycle -- I believe (as some others do) that it has adverse psychosomatic effects when coming off (depression); plus it does shut down the HPTA fairly hard and is long-lasting. For these reasons, I will run it the first five weeks (with test), then cut out the deca and increase the test dosage for the final four weeks. This way, the deca will be out of the system by week 8 or 9 (yet the test will still be there to keep gains going and the spirits high) and I can start my post-cycle therapy 2 weeks after my last shot of enanthate.

If I were you, I wouldn't go over 400 mg for first time with deca. 600 mg seems to be the upper limit when talking risk/benefit ratio. I wouldn't go there until you're really sure your body likes deca -- it takes a long time to get out of the system. I still shoot it at 400 mg with great results.

i only use deca when i run winstrol. It shuts me down pretty hard. I prefer EQ.

I didn't know I had two threads on the same topic, my computer must have submitted it twice. Here is what I posted on the other thread:

I am using Serostim GH, Schein Deca, BTG Oxandrin - all of these from a local pharmacy. I have a picture thread in the gear section somewhere. (I am not platinum so I don't think I can dig it up, but you can search it. I have about 12 pics of my gear on there) If you find it, post a link.

the Cyp is from CVS pharmacy as well.

I am planning on running the test and oxandrin 4 weeks longer than the deca. Ending deca about week 12. Running the test and oxandrin until week 16. This is to avoid any delayed cases of deca dick or whatever.

I don't have a ziplip or hushmail or anything. (sorry) but I will look over on the women's board and see if I can find the thread. I know my BTG's are real because they came from directly from a pharmacy.

I will run it the first five weeks (with test), then cut out the deca and increase the test dosage for the final four weeks.

Finding ways like these to overcome deca's harsh effects on HPTA is a good way to get around it. Usually cutting the dose length is the best way. I would just run a bridge of something that isn't as tough on HPTA when using deca (usually primo).

I love deca. It's awsome for bulking and gets me hard as rock when cutting as well. Eq is good too with definately less water retention involved for most. I'll be mixing both soon.

ON A MAINTENANCE CYCLE I LIKE 400-500MG PWK OF DECA, GREAT STRENGTH, PUMPS & VASCULARITY. NO BP OR HR SIDES EITHER.

 

[ryker77]

Would use again but not more than 300mgs per week. Twice around week 5 of 300mgs per week my gyno acted up while on L-dex. I think next cycle will be high test and 200mgs deca per week.

 

[Latamier]

Only thing I dont like about it is the detection time from a drug test. Especially for you NCAA athletes. You can test positive for almost 18 months after your last injection. I know this because it happened to a friend of mine at work. He beat it though by saying he was taking 19nor or something like that.

 

[Dr.RobertBanner]

Ohh, this is getting me all psyched about my first run with deca. Test and d-bol too. God I can't wait!

 

[Sittin' On Diesel]

Yeah definitely.. it's good stuff.

 

[FirePoiBoy]

My first cycle was Deca/Winstrol with Clomid post cycle.
This worked great for me and I would have no problem doing it again but I think I would like to add some Fina or Test next time.

 

[KA-BAR]

im still a newbie so i cant really compare it to alot of stuff but I know for a fact DECA cured my stiff neck from an old wrestling injury that I have hade for over 12 years! My first cycle was last Oct and my neck pain went away about my 5th week of deca and has never returned. No BS. I did get a little bit of deca dick but I had outstanding gains. I was 205 about 14%BF when I started using nile sust @500mg wk and Norma's 400mg week 1-10 and I went all the way up to 240! I had some nice bloat and was holding some water but still I looked huge! I would most definitly do it again but Iwill have some cialis next time.

 

[RICOSUAVE]

I LOVE DECA KEEP IT!!

 

[Ferdinan]

I liked deca pretty well when I ran it, I gained real nice strength and put on some good muscle. I will probably run it again, but right now im wanting to try new things every cycle to see what really goes good with me. So far Ive tried, deca, enanthate, fina, eq, and winny, next cycle Ill be adding to the list, slin, and dbol. So far Ive like deca, eq, and winny pretty well.

 

[kwik95gt]

i used it with test once, i added it late in the cycle, only running it at 400mg/wk for 5 weeks. i felt some strength from it, but it did help pain in my right knee (which is really why i wanted to use it in the first place), and havent hurt since.
