This is my honest write up about my experience running Big D's Deca at 500mg for 14 weeks. I've not had any prior experience with this compound, though I did run Tren last summer.

Past Cycles:

12 week Test 500mg , Dbol 30-40mg 4 weeks

12 Week Test 500mg, Winstrol 50mg 4 weeks

12 Week Test 600mg, Tren 250mg

I've been lifting for almost ten years, but very seriously for 4 years now. I've competed in 2 NPC shows, I placed second in my first show (lost by a point) and placed 4th in my show last year (sucked balls).

I turned to Deca for its reputation of being able to add mass and also eliminate some aches and pains. I used Big D's Deca (not name dropping just being honest). Here is the cycle I ran

16 Weeks Test 750mg (Domestic X Test 250)
14 Weeks Deca 500mg (Big D)
5 Weeks Dbol 50mg ED (Domestic X)
Adex .5 EOD (Domestic X)
Caber .5-1mg
14-18 Weeks Anavar 50-80mg ED

First off, the Deca took about 6 weeks until I felt the feeling like "Oh shit, I just lifted all that". I'm an impatient person so 6 weeks did seem like a long time but Deca is slow acting, hence why I would recommend at least running it for 12 weeks. The gains I made on this is compound was unbelievable. I was able to Benchpress 385lb 10 reps, squat 405lb for 12 reps in sets. I'm a bodybuilder so numbers don't matter but I still was very impressed. I performed ass to ground, Hack Squats with no pain. The feeling of "soreness" did not occur at all while on cycle and this helped me lift more weights with no injury.

Water retention was not a problem due to my use of adex. I did blow up and had to buy a new wardrobe but I was huge and felt big. I had to deflect a few comments from friends and family who noticed the change in my look but with Deca being slow the change actually took about two months to notice.

I ran Caber starting in week 3 at .5mg to prevent any "Deca Dick". Funny thing is between the Test and Caber, I was a walking hard on for 11 weeks no bullshit. Also, a sexual side effect I had from Caber is that sometimes I couldnt "finish", but it got hard (this only happened a couple times, as far as not finishing). The biggest draw back to my Caber usage was the stuffy nose and congestion. This has lasted a few months and is now clearing up. I ran Caber all the way through my first two weeks of PCT. Finally, towards the end I did feel some chest discomfort which after researching I attributed to the Caber usage, I never went ot the hospital or anything like that but I did notice it was occuring. It lasted about two weeks off and on, and has not occured since discontinuing Caber. I would recommend Caber to everyone using Deca, this will save you from the dreaded "Deca Dick"

Things I would do differently:

1. Possibly run NPP to get the Deca going quicker, not really a big deal.
2. Add Equipoise to increase appeptite, I just dont feel I ate as much as I should have. My weight on cycle went from 240lbs to 264lbs, but I think I could of gained more.
3. I will add a clean weight gaining shake or two, so I can get those calories.
4. I would do moderate cardio, I did none and think we all should do 3 sessions at minimum a week.

In conclusion, I will use Deca as a off season bulking compound because it is the shit. Hope this helps people. Thanks for reading.
