Low test moderate nand is a thing and works well for cutting for a lot of people. I think this is where we lose some people in that they forget deca is npp is deca is npp lol its just a different ester and correct me if I'm wrong but a longer ester (deca) will cause more water retention than it's shorter ester (npp) variation.
Also, OP, your diet is what you want to focus on here. Put yourself into a proper deficit with macros that support your goals and run your compound(s). Sleep properly, that's crucial, hydrate regularly and trust, it's more than you think. Especially on a cycle. Train to support your goals including fasted cardio and voila you're gonna be a beast.
I will say one last thing though, Chimpanzee, I have to disagree that "most people look like shit". I really feel that's unnecessary in response to people not agreeing with the deca idea. Take it as sheer ignorance at the fault of no one person and then educate..you can only give em the info, it's up to them to employ it.
