the deca,why i dislike it:
the water retention, worse than test.is frustrating to eat clean yet still get random cankles etc.
its pricey, weak, and often faked.
for some reason, it shuts down the penis very badly, and the recovery of this issue takes forever after going off, maybe bc it stay so long in the body,i dont know.
and the prolactine,progesterone issues.
effective dosage, to feel something, will be much more than test, ie, price,sides,everything.
and yes, the kick in time, hell test e takes long enough, dea takes ofrever.
yes relatively when diet is clean will be lean on everything, but things like deca will simply put a film of water under the skin no matter what.
never tried npp.
that said, its ok for newcomer first cycle and women.to pack on little bit mass
i find the the most valueable thing about peds is the "bang" in power, fullness, pumps,recovery,all this while dieting.deca is pretty much the worst choice for this.
so,overall, the cosmetic issues are too much of a downside.
