Deca Only Experience?

[ronto461]

After some careful research and several bloodwork pulls working with a coach, I've decided to take the plunge into a "Deca only" cycle for my next off-season push. I convert at a pretty high rate, and have historically felt my best with lower Estrogen (with relatively clean bloodwork).

Looking for experience from anyone who has done this in the past? And how they tackled switching from a TRT cruise to full Deca, and vice versa.


My current philosophy is to run Deca only in higher doses when blasting, and then back into a TRT phase (180mg Test) in between when cruising.

Currently taking Finasteride at 1mg per day. Would halt this during my Deca blasts, and pick it back up when on TRT to protect them precious hair follicles as much as possible.

I know there's a subsection of people who preach Deca year-round. However, I could envision healthy issues popping up longterm with not exposing my body to any form of testosterone.


Any replies from those with actual experience running Deca/NPP only appreciated!

I believe Deca only cycles have worked for a handful of people in the past but it’s no guarantee.

The main thing I have against Deca only cycles is that Nandrolone is more cardiotoxic and neurotoxic than testosterone mg per mg. It can also mess with your neurotransmitters for quite a while (affects the dopamine transporter in the brain).

If you’re prone to excessive aromatization, you could keep your test low and add in primo/mast instead. I think this would be a slightly healthier way of approaching your blasts.

Test and Mast is what my old coach had me on. Sadly, I care about my hair too much to run Mast. The shedding after just a few weeks was gnarly.

300mg of Test plus Finasteride is about the highest I'm willing to run things from a DHT perspective, hence my desire to give Nandrolone only a try.

My first cycle was deca only 22 years ago and it was my golden cycle, I loved it, and it was my best cycle hands down. at 300 a bottle of brovel deca I ran it for 15 weeks, and like an idiot i did the pyramid thing... 200 400 600 400 200, i did not know better.

Having said that, I don't think i could do it again closing in on 50 with ED issues, prostate issues, and what ever else issues I have yet to discover.

I was young, I was definetly in my prime, it was awesome. Could I do it now with just that compound, I'm guessing no.

Deca dick was not a thing for me when I did it, but anything that would effect that now I'm scared.

This is all anecdotal, from me, I know a lot more now than I did back then, back then all I did was eat lift and sleep.

But if i could go back in time I would not have tapered down from 600

Can't have it all sadly

There has been some talk on the reddit forums about using Fin with Deca with no problems as long as a small amount of test is involved. Maybe 40-50 mg/week.

That was my first cycle. A mentor to the younger guns on my early board recommended this cycle to all newbies. Deca only as your first cycle. In his defense it was a while back ago and Deca was known as a mild anabolic with low side effects. We now know far more about Deca. As matter of fact even Deca D*** was a debated topic. As many said they didn’t have that prob. Even if not Deca, he was against stacking in your first cycle.

BTW I remember the Brovel Tornel and DK Tokyo labs lol. I used the Dk Deca. Most of my friends at school work and the gym I got the Brovel T 200 for as their first cycle. It was cheaper and they didn’t wanna spend much. The T200 from Brovel seemed to cause a lot of water retention. I read something about that and realized my friends were getting tons of water. So I convinced them to begin paying the extra for DK Tokyo and QV. The water seemed to subside when dumping the Brovel T200. Although I loved the blue color of Brovel labels. Very rarely I upcharged friends and acquaintances for stuff I got them. There are times I still don’t include test in my cycles. I wouldn’t do Deca only. I know test is best and why. But there’s times it just doesn’t fit into the goals.

QV

Lol, Quality Vet Deca 300 was my first steroid. Blast from the past bro.
I had no idea and ran Deca and M-1T back in the prohormone days. Oh what I would have given for the knowledge on this board back then...

Quality vet was awesome, now lets talk about reforvit-b, i really wish someone had that formulation. flowed thru a slin pin with ease! that was my only experience doing bicep injects

QV was awesome! My cousin who is like my big brother was allergic to what oil they were using. He broke out in red rash. He thought he was allergic to Deca. I said you can’t be. Your first cycle was Deca (and Upjohn Winnie V) and you were fine. It was brown amps We got from Kevin Levrone. At the time I said it has to be something in the mix of DK and QV breaking him out. Now he does fine off the Deca I brew. But he was about to never touch Deca again. Would have been a shame to. He gets great results from Deca with VERY minimal sides. He is like the big brother and always was. But I’m the researcher. He got to trusting my research, advice and cycle suggestions over the older gym vets who never researched at the time.

We would use the Reforvit when we couldn’t get the pink bow tai’s Dbol from Thailand. We thought we were getting a cheap constellation prize. Little did anybody know how lucky they were I could only get them the Reforvit B Dbol. I once made my cousin and our friend Reforvit Dbol jello. Cut it in squares and told them how much every square was. Then warned do not let the wife get any! I would probably buy empty vials for nostalgia.

Deca-only cycles are unlikely to add a lot of mass, with 20 lbs of muscle being the more likely outcome (rather than 30-40 lbs). It is sometimes taken by women when trying to bulk up and gain lean muscle tissue. If you are not sure with the product, click this link https://Scammer/Spammer/.

Dude if somebody adds 40lbs in one cycle it’s not 100% muscle weight. Now that’s established what is it exactly you’re bragging about? Promising 40lbs of muscle in one cycle is going to raise more red flags than get potential customers.
