Why is Deca considered best overall steroid

[Hujangous]

On many sites, it is considered the best in "results vs. side-effects". But many of you guys say that it shuts you down real hard. What exactly is meant by that?

 

[silver_shadow]

it resultsin loss of libido. which makes it necessary to use it with something like test or dbol which can neutralise that.

Deca was the best...late 90s, it was the gear to be on

One thing I've noticed is that paradigms shift in almost every field of science...and steroids are no exception. There's ideas that come and go, and those that stick around for a while and then go. Pyramiding dosages on cycle, clomid for post cycle, deca as the best juice, front-loading (although I feel this one will be around for a while...even though its not utilized as much as it should be) and on and on and on....


deca is no longer the popular juice of choice...EQ is coming up fast on its heals.

DECA DOESN'T AROMATIZE--THIS IS A MAJOR ADVANTAGE. IF YOU KEEP WEEKLY DOSES BELOW 400MG, YOU WILL NOT HAVE PROLACTIN/PROGESTERONIC SIDES (GYNO, LACTATION, BLOAT). ALL AAS SHUTS DOWN THE HPTA. IT IS YOUR GENETICS THAT DETERMINES HOW HARD.

Interesting Doc...

When I ran Deca only, at about 300mgs a week, I noticed a slight diffrence in erectile hardness, but never lost my libido. In fact, I think it almost seemed to be more active... would this suggest to you that Deca may not shut me down as hard as some? Or, maybe I am just a perv and hypogonadism won't slow me down...

i would argue that deca is not the best steroid, i don't think there is a best steroid, there are steroids that vary for purposes.

All steriods interfer with your HTPA but nandrolone based steriods like deca procide no replacement test. This is why some experience "deca dick" on Deca only cycles.
I think it is so reverved because of it's abilty to strengthen ligaments and tendons while giving mild gains. You may gain more running a test d/bol stack then a test deca stack, but the risk of injury is increased.
I've never heard "i got some dea can't wait for the awesome gains". More like" I got deca for this cycle I can't wait until the pain in my (fill in offending painful joint) is gone.
Personally I prefer Primo.

Deca makes me hella strong, and I get great gains from it.

I don't agree with the statement that deca is the same as all others in terms of HPTA shutdown. I was running a gram of test a week for like three months and noticed little to any ball shrinkage. then I added deca in for 10 weeks at 400 a week and my balls went away. definetely is harder on the endocrine system than other drugs (expect fina).

I think test is the best all around steroid. It can easier controlled IMO.
