Title: is deca worthless?
Post by: theworm on August 04, 2008, 12:31:09 PM
many people on other sites complain that deca is worthless.  its overpriced, has its sides, and produces little gains...  one must stay on it for 12-16 weeks just to notice anything...

anyone here have an opinion? 

i can get test 500 x 12 weeks for the same price as a bottle of deca 300...

in my opinion deca is for older folks to help with joint pain.  taking test and eq will put u in a positive nitrogen balance but you will have less bloat.  i personally would not take deca.

Test and Deca are the two best overall compounds IMO.

Best when used together of course.

Eq is weak, but everyone has their own opinion.

yes, but when used together,,, how do you not know if its the test thats making you grow....


i am going to do 500 test plus 300 deca and record everything, then do 500 test alone and see if there is any difference,,,, this may take me a half year or so, but i will keep everyone posted...

Worm, this is another reason we tell new guys to run 500mg test only for a first cycle. That way you will know exactly how the drug affects you without adding to the mix with different compounds. Deca with test and dbol is a great combination, and I would not ever turn down deca especially for adding slabs of beef to your physique. You do need your diet in check, to make sure you get quality gains and not lots of fat. Even so t-3 might be good to run while on nandrolone.

t-3 with nandrolone, because people tend to put on some fat when on nandrolone even if there diet is in check. T-3 will help keep the fat off through cycle.

Interesting.

Any idea why?

I've never had that issue, in fact, Deca gives me leaner gains than EQ.

I am not absolutely positive, but I think it may slow the thyroid. I have seen no studies on this, but I have seen the end results many times. I have read a few non scientific articles on this as well. When I run a low dose of t-3 (25mcg ed) with nandrolone, I notice leaner gains.

what kind of t3 protcol works best for you? how long after your last dose till you have a normal metabolism again?


the one time i tried t3, i put on some fat in the first week after i discontinued using it. this might have been due to the munchies, but i still think the depressed thyroid probably played a [part. lol.
Title: Re: is deca worthless?
Post by: theworm on August 04, 2008, 05:50:07 PM
glad to see the responses,,,i always thought deca and test was synergistic...   of course i would like EQ, but can only get deca.

deca seems to produce leaner keepable gains,,,maybe thats why a few do not like it.

Heard in order to work you have to use a BUNCH.  Not this 50-100 per day.  like 150-175

Lower doses are used to improve anabolism and lean gains.  Higher doses are better for fat loss.

The average person's Thyroid bounces back within a few days.  If you have been on for 6+ months it's typically only a little longer.

Post by: Luv2Hurt on August 05, 2008, 05:07:31 AM
Deca worthless? LOL, Deca is a very anabolic gear.  Now I did not research the science for this statement but the way it is structured makes it unique from other gears.  If I remember this gives it different properties and it can be very effective for a long while. 

IME this drug really helps me to put on size and train like an animal.  I feel it is very synergistic with test.  It seems to cause a bit of water retention for me so its an offseason "bulk" gear for me but I'm sure with the right diet you could be lean on it.  Also agree that EQ is weak comared to deca, maybe on paper they look similar but in effect no comparison IMO

I think Overload's cycle he mentioned of Test, Deca and d-bol is a fantastic gaining cycle and would have someone making huge gains if taken in the proper dosage. which IMO is

Test 1000mg EW
Deca 600mg EW
D-bol 50mg ED

If your gear is real and you cant gain on this cycle you never will.

Absolutely correct abc! 25mcg ed will afford you nice lean gains on deca. 37.5 is all you would need tops for lean gains. I would also speculate that lean gains are also determined by natural metabolism, and thyroid function.

The only thing I don't like about Deca is that I can get out of breath walking up stairs while on it.

Its ok, breathing is overated anyway  ;)

Well, maybe a breath here and there so I dont look like a big red balloon!

To say deca is worthless is a pretty bold statement. Too many UG products have given proven, quality compounds a bad name. I think deca is a must for anyone looking to add a lot of size, power, tendon relief, etc. But then again, Iam old  ;).

Test and Deca cycles have been used for millions of years with great success by the masses (ok, maybe not a million)

Busy approves! Actually, looking forward to starting it up again in 3 weeks! Time to grow kids!!

thanks for the replies,  people on other boards were trying to tell me just to do test only 500.  i can only see positive aspects if i added 300 deca to this as well.  be a solid second cycle...

just not sure whether do jumpstart this with 50 winny x 3 weeks, or 25 anadrol x 3 weeks...

Title: Re: is deca worthless?
Post by: Overload on August 06, 2008, 06:06:27 AM
Anadrol is not that bad at 50mg a day.

Dbol would be better IMO if you don't want side.

I'm not a fan of winny, unless you are prepping for a show.

Deca is typically prescribed as a joint supplement, in low doses 100-200mg/week for joint support.  It's pretty expensive though.

Two reasons.  First, for joints.  Second, it's easier for the doc to justify adding some more anabolics to help sex drive, etc. than it is to add more mgs of testosterone.  At least that's what my doc told me.

Also, I know someone personally who gets Test, Deca and Winstol at the same time at reasonable high dosages.  ;)

Doctors have the ability to prescribe reasonable agressive dosages, but they are usually scared shitless that the government will come after them.  It's really sad.

Also, you have to edcuate them a bit...  Once I explained the reasoning for switching to Prop for a few weeks at the end of a cycle, before PCT, my doc had no problem adding a couple of 10 cc vials into my order/prescription to extend the cycle a few weeks.

A couple of the clinics here, the blood work is just a formality.

The news actually did an undercover segment on one clinic and when the guy went in for his consult, the doc basically asked what he wanted. Told him what they carry and that he would benifit from all of it! Gh, Test, deca, whatever they carried.

But their prices are outrageous. I know a couple guys going there because times are tough. Insurance does not cover deca for them so they are paying $200 for a 10ml/100mg bottle.

Many people on other sites are idiots, remember SSB?   ;D

Deca is one of the best anabolics ever!

As long as you can handle the long half-life and possible supression, you'll be OK.

Exactly.  Deca is probably the most widely faked steroid around, it's been consistently faked ever since the 70's.
