First Test and Deca cycle….advice is welcome!
I’m about to start a cycle 600/300 test and deca. Never tried deca, currently taking 250 ish test a week.
Is there anything I should be taking in addition to this stack to protect/support my endocrine system and what red flags should I watch out for?
I’ve heard about water retention, not concerned about that.
While I do want extra muscle mass and more strength and am currently eating and lifting to increase that (already put on 7 pounds from 172 to 179 now) my main reason for the cycle is improving joint and connective tissue strength and aid in repair/recover. (Yes I’ve dealt with some injuries, still am but consistently improving and getting stronger)
I train jiu jitsu everyday, I rarely miss a day and about 3-4 days a week I train twice. I just started strength training again after about 9 months off. I was resistance training the whole time but only with bands and body weight, now I’m picking up weights again 4 to 5 days a week.
Any input advice is greatly appreciated!

Possible you’ll need some prolactin control, (Caber tends to be the most popular if you’re not aware), for the Deca involved in the cycle. As a fellow grappling enthusiast, (BJJ and Judo), you’ll need to be careful training. I’ve had a lot of shoulder surgery, deca does mask up the pain a little which is good in many respects, but may make you more vulnerable when on the mat and you go a little harder as a result.
Assuming you know you may also need an AI?
Deca won’t heal anything, be aware of that. A bit like WD40 for the joints in the short term.
Good luck!
Do you take the AI and Caber the entire cycle? I’m not going off test when I’m done just back down to around 200-250 mg per week. Just in the short time I have increased my testosterone to 600(about two weeks now…starting the deca today) I’ve broke out on my back a little bit and I swear my balls have started to shrink(maybe just paranoia). Will caber or AI help with any of that….Ive been thinking of starting HCG since I got on TRT about six months ago. Not worried about fertility, I’ve got 2 kids and a third on the way, but don’t want me testies to stop working or shrinking.
