Deca only cycle

[cage99]

I was around 26 when my dick stopped working… Deca was the issue btw! Once I raised my testosterone dose higher than the Deca I was back to my old self again. Just be aware a limp noodle may be in your future with just Deca. Then again you may be okay running it solo. Only one way to know.

Currently on week 7 of a 500mg Deca-only cycle. As far as training goes, I'm adding weight or reps almost every session (I'm a low-volume guy). Libido is through the roof, zero bloat, and hair feels thicker (I'm taking oral Minoxidil).

300mg a day is a lot!

Its quite a bit, but nandrolone alone is a low aromatising drug, so to replace your needed amount of estrogen, you need quite a bit.

Bro! You never heard of Deca dick? Where you been! Deca without test will turn you into a woman!

50-100mg of test will go a long way. When my estrogen is <15 I feel like shit. (which yours probably will be running solo)

Hey guys,


I'm 26 years old and planning my first serious cycle. I’ve been training consistently for about 6 years and have done a few basic test-only cycles before, but nothing with Deca yet.


I’m thinking about running 400mg Deca per week and I’m wondering if it’s worth adding 125mg Test weekly or if I should just run 400mg Deca solo. Everything will be pinned IM (glutes/quads/shoulders).

Main goals are steady lean mass gains with as little water retention as possible
Would appreciate any input from guys who ran similar doses. Thanks in advance!

Well then it’s not your first cycle if you been running test that’s one two all will be injected IM WELL HOPE SO. Third if you plan on you peepee being flaccid then go for it. I would never run deca without at least a bit of test but hey that me who am I right

Yeah thats not true, the reason for deca dick is 9/10 because people dont control estrogen, if estrogen is high, prolactin goes rampant and prolactin is what the body releases during/after an orgasm and thats what makes your dick go limp. Nandrolone alone doesnt cause deca dick.

Yea and a lot of guys on here (myself included) get higher libido on deca. Idk about ratios. I am a low dose user for joints.

Second this. Felt great on deca and no dick issue with just tiny bit of test (300mg Test U per month). And used far less ancillaries than with higher test cycles.

Why would anybody do this. Doesn't make sense imo. Atleast add a trt dose of test to the mix

Check an ultrasensitive e2. You may very likely have crashed estrogen. Deca aromatizes so little that it should just be labeled as non aromatizing for most people. I've seen crashed estrogen on people running over a gram of nandrolone. It's a good idea to throw in at least a little test to get e2 up, or do it old school and add a little dbol here and there. Only problem with dbol is you can't measure methyl e2. Other options are tiny amounts of estradiol cyp or even dhea as it converts heavily to estrogen

 

[Rockhard]

I personally wouldn't run Deca without Test. Als make sure you keep your Test mg equal to or greater than your Deca. At your age, make sure you cycle on and cycle off in order not to crash your natural Test levels. And use a good PCT.

Two possibilities:
1) they spent too much time on reddit
2) it's the only thing they got ahold of

 

[gh375]

Testosterone should be equal to or greater than deca to save your dick. Your mileage may vary.

That's old wives tale bullshit.

If I inject any amount of Deca while I have supraphysical Test levels the next day my nipples are lit up and my boners take a hit. Immediate estrogenic side effects. 100mg of Test and 500 Deca or 600 Deca with no Test at all? Zero problems, libido is good and boners are 100%. High Test with any Nandrolone is a no go for me.

Nearly all scientific studies with Nandrolone are done with Nandrolone only. Somehow those dudes get fucking jacked and report very little in the way of sides with zero Test.

Some guys can just run whatever and be fine but blanket statements like this are stupid. Best thing is just to get some NPP and experiment with different ratios or even NPP solo. If it goes south you can bail quickly and be fine. Approximately a zillion dudes in the 60's 70'a and 80's didn't run Deca by itself or just with some Dbol for no reason.

Npp over deca bubba. If it’s your first real blast, you have no idea how your body is going to react. Blood pressure might shoot up, no test with 400 deca might not be enough e2 conversion and that can bring a host of other issues. Npp is quicker in and quicker out. My 2 cents, if you’ve had good results with the test cycles then push test higher and run it either close to or 1:1 with masteron or pair higher test with EQ but no way you won’t be happy with 600/600 test mast

You aren't wrong but I'll add some nuance from experience.

In the early to mid 90s I ran a ton of deca only cycles (or deca without test - might have had winny or dbol or drol in sometimes as well but plenty of deca alone). Basically I was that guy you are referencing and others did as well.

Two things:
1) I had access to a lot of us pharma test back then and what I found...even on me was that even 200mg a week seemed to make a positive difference. I attributed it 100% to the synergy of nandrolone and test in a stack as we didn't know anything back then. People would ask me why I bothered and I'd just tell them I'd tried it a ton of times both ways and found even a bit of test made a real difference (synergy stack or placebo who knew but that's what I migrated too).

2) So today...I'm a test equal or greater than deca guy. Why? Not science. I don't feel nearly as good and test much lower I get mental sides and some ED. So now I "was" one of those guys but apparently not anymore as I've aged.

Ultimately everyone needs to figure out what works for them (and it may change in time). You are one such case - and I am too with some compounds and it's a real pita figuring that out. I'd venture though that for most of the population keeping test in or equal/greater will yield lowest probability of unwanted sides for the broadest section of the population. It's a good starting point.

I'm currently running 175mg/week of pharma test cyp (25mg daily injections) and about a month ago I added 100mg/week of deca (25mg s, m, w, f). So far I feel great. I've always been a low-dose guy though...mostly because I'm 56 (almost 57) now and I'm trying to get/keep an edge in my training while trying to be as safe/healthy as possible.

Here's what I've noticed with this current combo. Keep in mind I haven't done any blood work recently so this is just how I'm feeling and what I'm observing. I wake up every morning with a solid erection...gotta be happy about that at my age! My libido is "on point" for a guy who's been married for almost 33 years! My wife and I get after it 2-3 times a week which works well for us. ZERO deca dick and one interesting thing I've noticed is my stamina is through the roof!! Also, my loads are bigger than normal. Have no idea if this is due to the addition of the deca or not. All I know is the stamina and bigger loads appeared a couple weeks into the addition of the deca.

On the training side, my sessions have been great! Been utilizing a 5-day/week approach...Monday is upper, Tuesday is lower, Wednesday off, Thursday upper 2, Friday lower 2, Saturday is xtra delts/arms. Strength is definitely up across the board...especially on pressing movements and delt/arms pumps are fun.

Anyway, I run a TRT dose of pharma test cyp year-round and then add in 8-10 week cycles of lower-dose different compounds here and there for fun and to see what happens. This addition of 100mg/week of deca has been pretty fun so far.

So you are calling me stupid
