I can fill this in for ya. I ran a deca cycle recently

22

Very rigorous pct. Hcg during cycle, 1mg prami per day( whole duration cycle and pct and AFTER PCT), 40mg nolva per day, 100mg clomid per day. I dropped the nolva and clomid to 20mg and 50mg last couple weeks.

No E.D. issues

no medical issues

I used arimidex. My body does not tolerate aromasin - i get way too many sides and arimidex is easier to dose I started at 0.25mg eod then decided to leave it at 0.25mg per day when I started noticing prolactin sides.

I ran it for 11 weeks and test for 2 weeks longer.

Test was Cypionate and Enanthate. (100mg test cyp, 100mg test e, 200mg deca/ml) plus i added more enanth.

Test was 650mg/wk and deca was 400mg per week

I knew right off the bat my sex drive was nowhere NEAR what it normally is on cycle. First week I noticed. It stayed like this all cycle. I had caber but it was liquid form so after 3 weeks it went bunk. so I had to order prami which didnt arrive until 3 weeks later. During that time I added proviron to help reduce est. sides at least until i got the prami. During those weeks I had little libido and I WAS ON PROVIRON! Once prami kicked in it took care of my puffy nips,and lack of libido.
I continued until week 11 and dropped deca. Sex drive was still low. PCT libido was low, after pct I knew I was not 100% started back up. Felt like low test but not horrible though.

Shut down is when your a month or 2 after pct and still feel your test levels are low.

No ed.

I hope you do not read this post the wrong way. I need to add the positives of deca.
- joints felt great
- HUGE strength gains Added 50lbs to bench
- decent size gains.
- low bloating (I actually had no real bloating issues probably due to my arimidex)
- no problems sleeping
- bp was good, on eq it gets a little elevated

I ended up losing a lot of fat as well as gain some quality muscle. So it was not all thaT bad. But losing 10 lbs after pct Sucked. My size went down a little but now my muscles look very well rounded. I had some lagging body parts before cycle and the deca helped make me more well rounded. not sure if its my routine or the deca, but I think its a combo of both.

Unfortunately I lost about 75% of the strength I had on cycle. I was reppin 4 plates on deep squats noW I can barely do 3 same amount of reps.
My bench also went back to about what it was before. Maybe a solid 10 lb increase I kept completely.

Deca is an excellent steroid. It can be useful in many ways, cutting bulking whatever you want its a solid drug to add size and strength

Overall - the deca was worth it but it really shut me down, had to dose High for prami 1mg per day to keep prolactin in control.

I think deca just needs to be understood before one tries to use it. The amount of mass gained from a deca cycle lets say 1 month after pct is not going to be much more then the amount of quality muscle you build from eq cycle 1 month post pct. Both should yield the same amount of gains. People often think deca gives more gains, but honestly you do Not keep all those gains. In my case 10lbs dropped.
If one has all the ancillaries in order and enough cycle experience, they can have a great deca cycle issue free. But some people have a tougher time with deca. It really comes down to the person. But when you have the choice to run EQ which will not give you many sides at all why not just do that? If your after size take some anadrol - it will make you big and swole. But I honestly believe EQ can put on as much mass as deca once its all said and done. Or at least very close
