dose - constant or pyramid

[slat1]

If you take Deca twice a week it naturally tapers up doesn't it?!?!? It is an ester that takes three weeks to clear.
I don't see the point of tapering. I have a friend who is a nationaly ranked bodybuider, a medical student, and a journalist for a large bodybuilding publication. He told me tapering is for the uninformed. It does not help restore natural test levels in the least. Until you remove the exogenius (sp) test your body does not send a signle to try to start producing again. From there it takes at least 3 weeks for your LH to start producing again... and at least seven weeks for you test to start producing again. This is w/o PCT of course.
Which brings me to my point. If you have HCG and Clomid why would you even think about tapering? If you don't have HCG and Clomid why would you think about cycling?

"Actually, Deca is really the only long acting depot people agree to about tapering. 2thick has some excellent posts explaining this worth reading. Years ago, when most people used a pyramid taper with deca, no one really complained about nasty libido and sides from deca. Pyramiding it up and then down works against the cummulative effect of the depot. Running a high dose of Deca to the end can easily turn a 10wk cycle into a 16wk one, thats why obviously for many reasons NPP is a smarter choice." Thanks for the quote, Mavy.

I guess the answer is that it boils down to personal preference and individual results. Most of you are half my age....so you can rebound much easier and quicker. Pyramiding some cycles has helped me but I wouldn't do it for all cycles either.

Enjoy!

until it is proven that injecting even 10mg of test per week will cause 100% supression of HPTA and drop test production to zero i will continue to taper my cycles off to minnimum dosage before letting it clear out of my system and starting PCT, WITHOUT CLOMID. Clomid is a nasty drug and i used only because it's popular, Nolvadex is a MUCH better choice and 20mg works as well as 150mg Clomid in stimulating test production. Countless studies have proven it and HCG and Nolvadex is the preferred PCT not HCG and Clomid. That's a fact and i not going to argue it, as i get tired of arguing this same point year after year and no one has proven me wrong yet.
