mlomker I'm sure you mean well, but there are far more sources that will tell you that the Ski Slope cycle pattern is really a misnomer and rather harmful to keeping gains.
Reason being is that by tapering off, it never shocks your body into producing test - however, by keeping a steady cycle throughout (followed by clomid, nolvadex, etc.) your body is swiftly made aware that this artificial source of test is no longer being supplied and so the body responds by producing its own.
Ask other guys I'm sure they'll agree.
Otherwise, don't worry too much about deca dick as this doesn't happen to everyone, so don't go taking test - which someone who has never juiced before probably shouldn't start with.
Your idea is fine to do 400mg of deca. Inject 200mg twice per week. Two weeks after you end your cycle, start taking Clomid (cheaper and more effective than proviron) 200mg day 1 - 100mg 7days - 50mg 7 days. This is not so much for water retention - as there isn't much with deca, but rather to kickstart you body's natural test production.
Let me know if you need anymore help!
