Deca- Super Drug???

[Texas Ranger]

Guys, I just finished reading Muscular Development at the supermarket a few minutes ago. There was an article saying that Deca was some sort of super drug that allowed you to gain virtually all muscle with 600mgs a week being the optimal dose. Is this true? Or is typical BS magazine propaganda?

Bullshit, almost half of the muscle is water.

i cant wait to try a my deca cycle, for some reason i know im gonna respond well to it.

I base this off, Four (4) of my friends use with deca. They used 400mg/week for eight weeks. Nothing was used to help with water retention, but i dont think deca is a super drug. I think fina is a super drug. "super drug" is a strong term. The guys i know had good gains, but had SOME water. Deca is no super drug. AS can only be super drugs if they are used with other AS. You cant compare a someone using a single steroid compared to a stack.

So you are saying deca is all lean mass gains ? Not flaming bro, but i doubt that.

Any anabolic steroid can cause some water retention. If you compare the bloat you get from test, to the bloat you get from deca, test is way worse, yet bros on this board swear by 1 gram a week cycle of that shit. IMO I think 'pure anabolics' are the way to go. You grow nicely, less water, less sides, keepable gains, etc. Deca is definitely a good drug and has it's place among us.

im sure he's basing it out of the fact that deca makes you hold water. deca has a conversion rate to estrogen at 20% while having progesterone like effects independant of its conversion rate. estrogen makes u hold water. thats why hes saying that alot of the weight is not just solid muscle tissue.

Deca is a good drug, but i like drugs like winstrol , fina, eq, and ox. I love being hard with keepable gains.

for further note bro just to educate u a bit. not all steroids cause water retension. non-aromatizable steroids and ones that have no progesterone like effects on there own give no water retension.
