I've always been a big fan of deca but I've considered going other routes in the future. I love the cycles with deca but coming off always seems a bit tougher then with other drugs, even if I come off the deca way in advance or tapper down, it does not seem to make a difference. Another thing I don't like is the extra bloat I seem to get with deca. I bloat very easily and deca makes it more so, and that's just uncomfortable IMO. Even so, deca is a great drug, great for joint relief and I've had some great gains from the stuff...just going to mess with other options for a while due to all I mentioned.
