Deca- Why Does Everybody Hate It???

[Texas Ranger]

I know some guys get the dreaded "Deca Dick". But besides that, why does everyone hate Deca? It used to be a staple in the 70's-90's creating pure muscle growth. Dan Duchaine & Paul Borreson both thought highly of it. Now, everyone avoids it like the plague. Would 200mgs/wk along with Test cause any problems?

I think it pretty much that "dick" thing you mentioned.

Iv'e had the opportunity to use it on occasion and have not for that very reason.

loved deca.. but, there is the "dick problems" and the cost versus the effectiveness issue.. deca can be pretty pricey.. there are others just as effective for alot less.. as far as muscle building ect it is a good compound.. i know people who use alittle of it every cycle for their joints.. they swear by it..

Funny isnt it

My gym owner is an 'oldtimer' too and they used deca almost exclusively back then.

Still negative towards testosterone to this day too

It seems from the literature and testimonials that you have to take it for at least 10-12 weeks and decent dosages (at least 400 a week for a 200 lb person) for it to work. Is it worth it for a 190 lb person to take only 300 a week for 10 weeks with 500 a week Cyp for 12 weeks? It seems the Deca-dik is not worth it unless taking high doses for extended periods.

ALSO....does one get the same "deka-dik" side effects with Boldenone? Would be nice if "Equipoise" gave you "horse-dik"...lol

I don't know why people don't like DECA it's a great mass builder at even 200 mg per week.
EQ killed me johnson worse than deca ever did.
And in todays age of PCT compounds and ED drugs...DECA dick should never be a problem.

So even at 200 mg a week , Deca should show some results? nice to know

LOVE IT

Makes me feel overall very good, and for joints it's the bomb, great for winter bulking, but have to use equal amounts of test with it.

 

[testi1969]

This is my first time using deca - I have been running 375mgs per week and today is day 21 - when does deca start showing results and reducing joint pain?

I dont know why more people dont use nandrolone phenylprop then if "deca dick" or any other sides crop up you can get it out your system much quicker

NPP

npp is probably better but I haven't tried it yet, no problems for me with deca, it takes a while to see and feel the results, some more than others average time is about 3 weeks.

im on my 3rd week of test deca and dbol the dbols have kicked in really good the test usually take 5 to 6 weeks for me i hope the deca will be sooner

I like deca. Just for the joint pain relief and collagen synthesis benefits alone. For me its well worth it. Deca dick was never an issue for me as long as there is some test in the mix.

I have never heard anyone say they 'hate' deca. It is one of the best mass builders and it will pack on quality muscle too boot. Not everyone gets deca dick and more of what I hear is the dreaded deca dick is farther and farther from reality. I did an experiment based on a post on another site when a guy mentioned that he could take deca at 400mg ew and test at 200mg ew and never have an issue. I tried this and actually didn't have any issues either.

Nevertheless, I still do not believe that anyone truly hates deca.. that is if they actually ever used it.

Nandrolone binds to the glucocorticoid receptor suppressing the action of certain corticoids. This means that any inflamatory response is suppressed and thus, you won't feel pain in your joints and tendons like you would normally. Think of it as really expensive advil or tylenol. lol. It's accomplishing the same thing in the end. Depending on the dosage, it may suppress them enough to feel not so bad in the begining. Then we push and push, doing considerably much more damage. Hense alot more pain when the current dosage is not enough to mask it any more.

Thats the key right there! If you run deca, run test with it and run your test higher! It will help, I have ran deca at 600mg/wk with a 1000mg test and dbol, great cycle!

 

[Nat]

Deca is great! Run Deca with Test and you will be fine.

Plus now with Dostinex in the mix all the negative are now positive (sort of speak).

must have good deca

I must have some really good deca because I started deca and test 16 days ago.
deca 600mg week
test enanthate 500mg week.
I noticed joint relief started at about 10 days and getting better.I have bone spurs in one shoulder and man this stuff works. Pain decrease about 95%. I have many cycles under my belt [only used deca one other time]and have never felt the AAS aggression Ive always heard about until now.I like it. I don't know if its from the deca or test but I have been on test prop from Alin on and off and it didn't fell like this.[Alin is great and very honest, not bashing] This stuff from I got from Ganabol is the best Ive ever used.I like this thread because it suggest the deca hasn't kicked in all the way.Looking for even better result's, does mess with the pecker a little but no big deal.
