@ Nosleep- Regarding traps and deltoids being mostly hormones, I can't agree more. These are the two body parts (especially traps) that absolutely blew up when I started using AAS correctly.
In response to your question, if I understand it properly, I am a proponent of using 500 mg of good deca a week in conjunction with 750 mg of a long esther test (I like sust if I am using deca. The reason being that I blow up more on sust than I do with C or E, and when I am running deca, my goals are mass; blowing up is the goal.) However, you can get away with using 250-400 mg if you decide that 500 mg is too much, or if you are scared of gyno, or simply prone to it (I am not. I never use an AI and I have never needed it once. However, I run nolvadex at 10 mg a day whenever I cycle). On the other hand, I have seen friends use up to a gram of deca weekly. These friends got huge, and one of them ended up in the the hospital getting gyno surgery last summer.
