Planning another Test + Deca cycle after several years - looking for advice and experiences
Hey everyone,
I’m considering running another Test + Deca cycle. It has been quite a few years since I last used Deca, so I honestly don’t remember exactly what doses I ran back then.
This would be my 5th cycle overall. My most recent cycle was Testosterone + NPP, and while the results were good, I struggled with high blood pressure, so this time I’m trying to do as much research as possible before making any decisions.
I’m not looking for someone to design a cycle for me. I’d mainly like to hear from people with first-hand experience.
Some things I’m interested in:
•What did your Test + Deca cycle look like?
•What did you find to be the sweet spot in terms of balancing results and side effects?
•How did Deca compare to NPP for you?
•What side effects did you experience (blood pressure, water retention, prolactin, libido, etc.)?
•What blood work did you monitor, and how often?
•What health support or supplements did you use?
Looking back, is there anything you would have done differently?
Any general tips for someone returning to Deca after a long break?
I already plan to monitor my blood pressure closely and get regular blood work. I’m just trying to learn from people who have actually run this combination and hear what worked well—and what didn’t.
I'm currently completely off of any AAS.
Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences you can share.

I expect for my blood pressure to be elevated while im on cycle. I expect for my blood work to be out of whack a bit.
Now that im 40, im more converned about my health. My dr that prescribes me test, (they dont know I blast) theyve put me on blood pressure meds that ive been taking on cycle. Idk if its a smart think to do. I shouls have asked someone here.
When ive run HGH my BP has been high.
The meds i use are amlodapine i think its called.
When I come off, my bp returns to normal wo the amlodapine. I stop taking it. I just tell my doctor Im always taking it.
Not telling you to do what i do.
Why are you interested in running deca specifically?
What are your goals for your cycle?
What have you run in the past besides NPP?
When I run deca or npp for Mass gains, I usually run is 1/1. Deca im running at least 500mg a week. Npp at least 350mg a week. I do run it low dose for joints, but if im trying to use it to put on mass, those are the doses Id use.
My first cycle ever was deca only. I did ok with it. I was 18. I realize is wasnt the way. Ive run deca high dose, low dose. I like to run is around 500mg with masteron whenever i can.
I tolerate deca and aas in general. The only times ive had gyno reactions have been running test/deca/dbol. Or test/npp/dbol.
I run everything with tudca. Tudca has been great for my blood work. Wish I started using it sooner.
