Deca-only cycle?

[Brock456]

This is so funny , so you mean that adding test to deca prevents shot down?

He just joined yesterday. Prob some troll who just got banned

When I ran out of test I did deca only for about 2 months. Cruised on deca while my life fell apart lol. Better than nothing I guess but my all time favorite stack was test, deca, dbol, gh and slin. Biggest that I ever have been

This seems too smart by half... Test with a-sin and some fina seems way smarter/ more effective but you do you, sir.

 

[hawkmoon]

Never did Deca only, even in the late 80s when Deca ws king and Test was for the poor kids.
Always had at least a little test in - at the time it was just what we did.

Now I will include at least TRT-dose of Deca, and not only because of impotence risks, but because it is my opinion (we will never know for sure because no one will research it) that the unpleasant side effects seen with nandrolone in the research such as endothelial damage are due to the dramatic suppression of testosterone.

This suppression means no testosterone-based signaling, no DHT, and no estrogen. Our bodies need all that and nandrolone is not a sufficient analog IMHO.

Deca only is outdated, MENT only is the better option if you want to go that route.

How old are you? Reason being the older you get the more negative sides you’d experience without having test in the mix.

Personally, I could never do that or my dick would be flat out useless and shriveled up.

If you’re in your 20’s or early 30’s then run it and see.. I’d try it first with NPP though instead…

I'm 28.

Is that an issue though if I'm running deca at around 2.5g's though? I'm thinking of using no AI too if I can get away with it (depends what my estrogen conversion is). I've never got "deca dick" in the past and have always liked the compound but I've never used it as a base and with no other anabolics.

I’ve heard of a few people doing this in the past, the most famous of which was Jordan Peters.

I’m not sure what results he made on the cycle but I’m interested in giving it a shot.

Thoughts on a deca-only cycle? Meaning using deca as a base. No testosterone or other anabolics used at all.

I know many people say “test is best” or “you need high test to grow” but how true is that really?

I’m 245lbs~ at 5’9 and still have abs showing so guessing around 13% bodyfat.

1. Can I still grow on only deca/GH/insulin as long as I’m pushing up weights/food?
2. Do you think Deca-only is a good choice for those that wish to keep/regrow their hair?
3. Do you think it can reduce back acne? (I don’t have much but I already do daily injections and frequently take an AI)
4. Less chance of hair loss due to less need to take an AI using only deca?
5. Is this a huge waste of time and I should just take test/other anabolics with fina and hope my hair stays/small amount of acne goes + I’ll never make progress on only deca?

I’m thinking of pushing this up to around 2.5-3g’s and doubt I’ll ever need to take more than that.

Shit man, if you are considering 2.5-3 grams, I am not sure why you would eliminate what is virtually a drop in the bucket (100mg test/wk) just to avoid complications. If you told me that 4% of my total dose would help ensure shit does not go sideways, it would be foolish not to.

Well…there’s always injectable estrogen

Because then it makes it not a deca-only cycle

What do you mean by "complications"? You think I'm going to have aromatase problems running 2.5-3g's of deca?

So we are just forgetting that DHT is kind of a needed component too?

Also: "Because then it makes it not a deca-only cycle" -> so wait, you are doing this just to say you did a Deca-only cycle? Again - what difference does a small dose of test make? As if adding that in will somehow make your experience more insignificant.

It shocks me that people still have ideas for such senseless uses of gear

Yups.. this shit has been tried and 99% who runs deca only feels like absolute shit..

Its that seemingly endless cycle of trying to reinvent the wheel in an attempt to discover "the secret of the pros that no one talks about and makes them huge"

I’m pretty sure he’s just worried about hair lol

Still silly, though.

This is probably a better idea than Deca.

Fuck the hair. This game is like running OnlyFans and trying to maintain virginity....if it goes, it goes. Not like 2.5-3g of DHN conversion won't have an impact if 100mg test makes you break a sweat over your hairline.

 

[neutrino]

@KingOfSushi BTW - love the username. Giving me cravings for the local all you can eat....they hate me there.

 

[madg]

Deca- winstrol for me

Loved it

 

[luki7788]

next question do you really need 2.5-3g gear...are you at least 250lbs below 10% body fat?

I used to love Deca. Strength, size, joints always felt great. Last few times I used it (with Test) the mental sides were awful. Intense anxiety and depression. The things I love to do, the places I love to be, the people I love to be around, I didn't want to be bothered by any of it. The gym is my sanctuary at times and I remember sitting in my gym telling myself I was done with training, bodybuilding. Something I've done for 30+ yrs. This could be an age thing or maybe a change in hormones or brain chemistry but I found several guys all around my age, saying they experienced the same thing or very similar.
