I realize that there is alot more experienced opinions on this board, but I think a person should always include a strong anabolic with testosterone. Through my personal experience, with the first and last cycle I ever took, which was 250 mg test depot (enathate) and 300 mg nandrolone decanoate a week for twelve weeks, also taking 5 tabs of d-bol the first 3 weeks(ending the deca at week 10) I experienced very good results in mass, not strength though(that seemed to taper off after discountinuing the d-bol), still I was impressed and I experienced very little side effects although In the first 2 weeks I was having some hormonal swings, (which I imagine do to the nandrolone), I am prone to acne, but this amount of medication never effected my acne anymore or any less. I guess I just figure why take them in the first place if you are afraid of a few side affects, especialy considering on pure test alone will add alot of water retention which could be mistaken as mass but after you are finished your pct you will soon discover how much of your muscle was "solid".
