yes test and deca is a good bulking cycle but there are also many other factors to it as well -

1- gains will be dependent on your diet

2- if you eat dirty and have high slt/fat/nitrogen intake then your gain will be fat/warter and you will just drop this when you stop your cycle

3-your body fat % plays a big park in how good you gain imo

4- useing adex on cycle to keep bloat of and gyno at bay will give you a real sence of what lean muscle your gaining and what body fat your droping ...i recomend it highy

test e and test 400 are very simlar ,t400 will prob hold a shorter ester meaning it may kick in a tad faster but also may mean you have to inject it 3 x per week opposed to x2 even x1 per week with test e

weeks 1-12 500mgs test e or test 400 per week

weeks 1-10 400mgs deca per week

you can use a kick start for some added mass maybe anadrol or dbol for the first 4 weeks

weeks 1-4 50mgs dbol or 50-100mgs anadrol every day

adex on whole of cycle right upto start of pct (0.25mgs adex eevry other day)

hcg on cycle right upto pct 500iu per week

nolvadex and clomid pct

nolvadex 40/40/20/20

clomid 50/50/25/25

sorry for the long post just thought i wuld try and cover everything and give me honest opinian
