Cruising (or trt) with deca?

[Gadawg]

I have been wondering lately about running 100-200 mg deca along with my trt dose. Im looking mostly for joint support but imagine there would be some anabolic effect from that dose as well. For those that have done it, how do you like it and at what dose?

Are there sides to consider at that low dose? Water retention? Deca dick? Blood pressure? Lipids?

From the reading Ive done about all of this, it seems the key to health and longevity in this game is spending a significant portion of the year at a realistic trt dose, and that total mgs run per year is something to keep an eye on. Health is more important to me than any kind of gains so Ive been trying to look at this stuff from all angles.

Ive looked into running mast alongside trt (cruise) dose as well but am a little concerned about hair loss and masteron's propensity to affect lipid values.

Thanks for any input from the drug docs on the board. There is some serious knowledge on this place and I appreciate it.

I tried 100mg/wk with my trt due to horrible joint issues.

benefits- joints definitely felt better, would say daily pain decrease of 50-75% from norm (how do ya really guage that?)

seen a bump increase after time in weight being moved.

Down side, even at my trt 200/deca 100, eventually deca dick set in. Was a great run upto that point, but decided screw it and stopped the deca. Then my joints turned to glass, had about a 2 month stint where i wished i had original joint pain back- which eventually it went back to thankfully- got same story from 2 bro buds that experienced same withdrawl when they came off.

Glad i tried it, definitely helped; until it didn’t lol

The benefits of deca stop after you stop taking it. Unless you are Ecksrated.

OP will be blasting year round soon enough.

We recently touched on Deca and Seek brought out a good point; Deca is no different than any other AAS, sides are dose dependant. Keep it light and you should have little to no problems.

Just me but if you are really concerned about long term health, test at TRT + Mast + Deca even at low does over a long period of time would be out of my comfort zone.

I'm staying out of the Nandrolone joint debate!

I was definitely not considering 3 compounds. In fact Im pretty certain Im going to go with the "equal on equal off" protocal at a minimum. Im just kinda rolling things around. I was thinking about deca as more injury prevention than anything.

Sounds awful. I appreciate the info!

I have a lot of nice shit that doesn’t fit anymore if you change your mind.

You probably stretched the pantlegs all out.

I forgot you don’t train legs.

 

[Gadawg]

I forgot you don’t train legs.

They get trained plenty. I neglected them in my formative years and theyre angry at me for it. Stubborn bastids.

I didn’t mean hiking.

I meant squatting.

I can't speak from having run deca ever, but common sense would tell me that it's all good till you stop taking it. IHI reinforces that theory. Others can attest to that with other meds, such as sleep aids.y knees hurt like a mother for a couple days after legs and I've considered deca but I know I'm not gonna be taking anything forever. Best managed without pharmaceutical intervention if possible.

That sounds hard. Think Ill just add some synthol.

The first time I came off of deca it wasn't really a big deal. After that first cycle coming off was a painful experience regardless of how much I had been running, from 300 - 800mg / wk. I love the effects of deca but it is coming to a point where I don't want to deal with it anymore.

I'm currently running a little mast with my trt, that seems like a better combo.

I have been doing. 300mg Test Cypionate weekly and 200mg Deca weekly. I love it, my joints are feeling good and I’m able to do exercises that I couldn’t do before because of shoulder pain. I’m starting a super slow lifting style to really build up my weakened body parts
without injury. Highly recommend small dosage over long period.

Just spoke with a friend of mine who is on doctor prescribed test cyp at 250mg weekly and 100mg deca weekly, he states the deca is for joint pain per the doctor . He stated he gets no strength or size increase but I am not sure his training methods or diet so that could be a factor. He did say he got deca dick after a few months on it but a little cialis every day fixed it. He also takes HCG year round not sure the amount. He showed me his bloods and his total test was 1500 which his doc lets him stay at year round! Overall he said he is happy with being on deca year round as he states his joint pain is gone

My TRT dose is 150 and I've been doing 100 NPP with it for over a year. Never had ED problems on my TRT doses. When I cycle with deca after 12 weeks or so I'll have "finishing " issues but no ED problems

Dawg, i believe we were talking about this earlier today. Glad to see you came to the vets to get some advice.
IME, i felt great during my time ON deca, but when i came OFF the joint pain came back worse than before and i can tell you first hand deca dick is no fun. Doesnt matter how big or strong you are, if you weiner wont work, then you reap none of the benefits.

 

[Gadawg]

All I had to hear was that it MIGHT make your joints worse after for me to trash the idea.

Big, bald, Billy ran it for a good while and now that hes off of it, his shoulders are worse phucked than before. No thanks
