I've got to agree with the others on this one MrTechno, you shouldn't be giving cycle advice. Anyway how have you arrived at the conclusion that eq will yield inferior gains to deca? Eq is slightly more androgenic, slightly more anabolic, and for most people (a few exceptions) the side effects tend to be milder. The only real propblem with eq has been the extremely low concentrations produced, ie. 50 mg/ml. However in recent years 200 mg/ml concentrations have become available, making eq a very viable choice for those concerned with adding quality gains with minimal side effects. As far as using eq only for gaining mass, while I've never done this myself, I know a guy who does high dose eq only cycles (800-1000 mg per week) and I can see a visable difference in his size from it, and he has very few sides, little water retention, no acne, no gyno, and thus far he says he has had no problems with sexual disfunction.
