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.

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. 👍👍😂
 
Deca is a classic steroids,been used for decades as a staple to as my bulk.test,deca,Anavar,mast,great stack.
A dht,a 19 nor,and test for e2 conversion,classic stack.
 
Personally I just pin every 3days,splitting it to weekly 2 injections never works out even days,it's always 3 days then 4 days till next pin.eg Monday, Thurs,whatever way or day.but you can do EOD if you don't mind frequency,it's better for stable bloods.wouldnt bother tapering off with Anavar,just run it at week 8 through till end,you can play with the doses,max out to 40mg daily,see how you go with pumps.no written rule bro,find what works for you,every cycle is an experiment in my opinion.as long as you keep mild doses you can't go wrong.
 
Both are Nandrolone. The reason to use NPP over Deca is issues with prolactin causing “Deca ****”. Running Deca may or may not cause this, but it many it does due to high prolactin levels. So therefore, to run Deca without these issues you need to run Dostinex at the same time. With NPP, it’s a short acting form of Deca, works within 4 days and prolactin is not a problem with it due to the short ester. You will find that Deca does not kick in fully until week 4-6. The only issue with NPP is it does not lubricate the joints with fluid like Deca. NPP has less water retention. So the phenylpropionate ester works much quicker than deconate. From personal experience over the years with both. NPP blows Deca out of the water in every way. Only reason I would take Deca is in a small maintenance dose in the background for my joints at 50mg. The rest would NPP.

Test E/C 400mg 1- 10
NPP 300 1- 10
Anavar 40mg daily (20mg in the AM, 20mg in the PM)
(All oils inject Monday and Thursday)

PCT:
HCG, clomid and nolvadex

Eat clean. Kerp protein at 1.5-2g per kg. Be in a surplus of 300 calories per day. Cardio 3 x 30 minutes a week.

Hi mate.
Did 12 week decca and npp with test e. Just finished 2 weeks ago. On trt now.
I started with decca, that was a mistake I think. I started to feels it's effect after 5th week. Like in 6th week, I had the urge to lift more and started to go 4 sets instead of 3. Little bit of water, but could see veins on my forearms all the time, as I used Anavar 10mg as preworkout for whole cycle with liver support. After 8th week switched it to npp high dose, things went different in like 4 days.
The thing is your diet need to be clean all the time and low fat too even after end of cycle for atleast 8 more weeks. As decca stay longer in your system.
I train 6 days, 2 muscles everyday. 6 meals and a shake after workout.
I gained big time
Now the side effects
Constipated AFTER end of blast. Dont know why.
Acne went worst, but got accutane and other gels and body wash. Ifs helping. Shower twice a day helps a lot.
Mood swings and anger was bad in 9th week.
**** feels soft and fluffy all the time in the undies. But had no erection issues at all. It got stiff everytime it needs to.
I kept my test high and decca/npp low may be thats why.
I am gonna do a another 1 after 10 weeks.
Will update my bloods in a week.
 
Personally found good gains with npp but bad sides with Decca and takes longer with Decca so if sides occur you have them around longer and can really mess you up trying to correct.
Know alot of people who love Decca but have found it depends on the person.
