Finally Deca-Dick can be avoided by taking 50mg clomid EOD throught ur cycle.
Deca dick can not be avoided by clomid... clomid can generate excretion of FSH (folicile stimulating hormone) while on a cycle which can actually keep the testicles from shrinking by 75% by stimulation of the serotoli cells, but it can not stimulate the release of LH (lutenizing hormone) while androgen levels are high... stimulation of the leydig cells (in the testicles) would stimulate the release of testostereone which would occur while comming off of a cycle but NOT while androgen levels are high due to exogenous injections. Therefore, there is no additional testosterone in circulation to convert to DHT which is actually what is converted to a hormone that relaxes the muscles in the vastus differens allowing the penis to fill with blood and reach an erection...
One should always use testosterone with deca not just to prevent "deca dick" but for synergy. Deca (and other 19-nortestosterone derivitives) bind to AR in the hypothalamus and prevent the production of testosterone. Lack of testosterone can be a strong hinderance while trying to add muscle in a deca only cycle.
On another note, IG, you can add me to your list of Deca sympathisers. Deca is highly anabolic and very low in side effects even at high dosses. The only people who may develop gyno from its progesterogenic activities are those who are abnormally highly suceptable. For this reason, I don't recomend exceeding 400mg/wk for any newbie until he learns his suceptability toward gyno. There is no idication that one can be resistant to estrogen induced gyno but be suceptable to progestin induced gyno.
Exogenous testosterone injections does not only promote the hinderance of one's own testosterone production but also prevents the formation of other androgens that are 19-nortest derivitives. For this reason obvious synergy would be seen when combining a testosterone derivitive with a nortestosterone derivitive as the presence of both is greater than the addition of any ONE of these. The EQ that was mentioned is not a nortestosterone derivitive, but a derivitive of testosterone. One of the only other nortestosterone derivitves is trenbelone. Trenbelone resembles the activity of deca in the body but seems to be more potent at the receptor level. For this reason, I don't recomend trenbelone in the same cycle as nandralone (deca), but the addition will not have any negative consequences... only overkill with nortest. I would say the same for EQ and test but EQ is reported to have a few advantages over its testosterone cousin including hunger stimulation and greater potential for vascularity development. However, I feel that testosterone is superior to bolderone (EQ) in promoting anabolism in the form of muscle gains.
