Wudup Bros, I would like to know if I need to taper deca at the end if I am doing it for a total of 12 weeks starting at 400mg/wk and keeping the dosage the same throughout, or should I taper to 200mg/wk for week 12? Thanks for the help.     | ||

I do it only for the last two weeks-and only by 100mgs. ------------------ | ||

I respect your answers, but can you state why you would or wouldn't taper deca, so I can see the reasoning behind the answer. Thanks guys. | ||

Sure...I see no value in tapering any AS. I would rather hit the receptors hard then stay at a steady level until the end. Your body will slow down at the end of the cycle, for me at around 6 weeks, so tapering at the end would lessen the effects of my gains even more the last 2 weeks. Since my HPTA is shut down anyway why would I want to taper? Hope this helps. ------------------ | ||

No. Tapering is based on the false assumption that somehow the lesser amounts will allow your body to somehow start to naturally produce the substances which the AS mimics, and more specifcally, the natural substances which the AS halts the production of. Even the "tapered" doses in many cases are still TOO much to allow your body to go "huh - well, I guess I need to start making THAT again".
Some substances, who can actually be dangerous or cause problems when you DO stop suddenly, are a notable exception.T3 (?) is one. Clen should be taoered. I belive that DECA is in the Test category. Dont taper. | ||

Read both of these studies. As you can see your HPTA will be shut down at end of your cycle and it will not begin to come back until all of the AS is out of your body. Don�t taper it is a waste of time. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=6416111&dopt=Abstract http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/cgi/content/full/281/1/93#F2 ------------------ | ||
