Yes at 500mg/week of deca by itself you can easily get gyno.

deca will bind to progesterone receptors in the breast

you need to be using an AI on it

plus you need to be using proviron to boost DHT.

Remember to include the proper support supplements with your cycle:
1. An AI to keep estrogen in the low-normal range. Aromasin at 10mg EOD is a good dosage.
2. An anti-prolactin drug to keep prolactin in the low-normal range. Cabergoline at 0.25mg EOD is a good dosage.


The support supplements are very important because high estrogen and prolactin levels can lead to side effects like gyno and water retention.

I am surprised to read that post. Deca only aromatizes at like 20% of what testosterone does. The only way I can see deca causing the issue is if he is running no AI and is really sensitive to estrogen.

Deca is quite a weak androgen, androgens are what compete for certain receptors in breast tissue that are responsible for gyno.

With enough androgens, and depending on the person of course, you should not have any estrogen issues.
