Experience with Deca-Only Cycles? (Inspired by Jordan Peters)

[fedemart]

Does anyone here have experience running a Deca-only cycle?

I know Jordan Peters has run cycles using upwards of 2.5–3g of Deca alone with incredible results—though obviously, his genetics and level of dedication are off the charts.

I'm curious if anyone has personally experimented with this approach and what your results (or side effects) were like.

Not fully deca only, but 1200mg deca and only 125mg test per week. Good gains, no issues tbh. Also no negative sides except some water retention which mostly is due to high estrogen and/or crappy food. Have those 2 in check and it’s solid gains all the way. But I’m a deca fanboy anyway, so I could be biased lol.

I have done it 3 times over the last 5 years or so, I only ran 3 to 600 a week and not very consistent with the dosing, If i feel good I do 300 i i have a hard week ahead i will do 600.
I do really good on deca, might be the change but i usually feel better on it than test, but i only do it for 3 months or so.
It feels similar to test but slightly more anabolic and slightly less androgenic, sex drive was slightly better, but i will find out how it goes in a month or so. We are all individuals and you really have to try things for your self to see how you personally react to it!

I don't respond well to test, and can't take tren anymore, so deca only is my go-to lately.
I've done anywhere from 600-1200mg deca paired with 75mg test (1 shot of 300mg Test U/Nebido per month).
Training feels great with steady gain. No issue with libido.

I think I read @hawkmoon saying he did/does this. I am sure he will post.

I always run low dose deca.. now I am at around 120mg EW for joints/recovery/libido so I am a big fan but never did it on its own

I didn't do it this winter, but for the last 5 or 6 years I've run a gram of Deca with a gram of EQ, no test. I'll run it for 4-5 months. Its an ez blast since I run Deca 500 with EQ 500, 2 pins per week. No issues at all, and I feel great. E2 stays in the 20's and I've seen my total test drop to around 75 lol. I got the idea from reading Buselmo's (?) posts over on GH15. I might try a deca only blast next time.

I have never done deca only, but have favored it heavily. I have done 300/600 and 600/900 test deca without issue.

I grow better on deca than test, but I believe some of the sides deca elicits are due to low estrogen as well as dht, so test is always there. I am most concerned with vascular and neurological damage, and they are both estrogen related.
