Deca Durabolin - Thoughts?

[trumped21]

Question for you who've run deca. Were you happy with the results? What kinda gains did you see, any sides . How long did you run it for and what did you stack with? Been hearing mixed things. Some reckon it’s unreal for strength and joints, others say it messes with libido or causes a bit of water bloat. I'm really interested in your thoughts. Cheers guys.

I was a week into a cycle with it, had to stop due to injury. So still have it ready for when I’m back to my baseline lifts.

Prolactin increase is the biggest issue, big contributor to gyno, it also causes more aromatisation of your test.

A lot of people love it a lot don’t. I went with it as a non DHT compound so will help me keep my hair a little longer.

if you’re running moderate doses you can avoid the above issues by running P5P for a couple of weeks before going on cycle and continue it throughout. If high doses you’ll likely need caber to mange prolactin.

Been on Deca a few cycles now. Ive done 12 weeks stacked with Test E. Happy with the gains and strength.Especially joint relief and sthickness on back and legs. Water retention was there but manageable. Libido for me was fine. So overall it’s reliable for strength and size. Like @ChasetheCase mentioned, prolactin is an issue. Just need to plan around and manage it.

Use Dostinex while on Deca. Or, switch to NPP instead.

When I run Deca or Npp I will either run it with a DHT compound and either no test or a TRT dose of test. I started to get side effects when I ran it with 500mg of test . If you want to try it then just run a short cycle of NPP at 300mg per week by its self. Then run the same cycle but with 150mg of test and see how you go. Just remember the more test you run the more side effects you can get with Deca. Although some people can run high test and high Deca and some have to run it at half the Deca to test. The best way is to just experiment and see what happens.
Good luck.

Thanks for all the feedback

Ended up going the NPP route instead of Deca. So NPP at 300mg a week with 150mg Test E. See how I go.

As for the Deca, most probably next one.

You will find NPP is superior to Deca, also the gains will come faster. Inject Monday and Thursday to keep the levels stable. You can add a dose of 50mg per week of Deca for your joints. This small dose will not need Dostinex.

A modern classic stack would be Test/NPP and Anavar. Or Tbol or Stanazol. It’s safe and not very harsh on the body.

Awesome sounds good. NPP is great to try first because of its short half life compared to Deca . You will probably need to inject 3 times a week to keep your levels stable. Especially if your NPP is brewed in mct oil which cuts the half-life in half. From about 3-5 days to about 2 days . Actually most half-life’s are cut in half with mct oil or PEG or MEG . I will be using NPP to kickstart my Deca bulking cycle next year then drop the NPP out after about a month and continue on with the Deca. With mct oil the Deca half-life is around 7-10 days instead of 14-17 . Anyway enough of my ramblings good luck end enjoy.
