How I react to steroids and what I should do.

[Mr_Pincushonass]

Hey guys, I have just completed my first cycle. It was going to be 10 weeks of sust250 at 250mg per week, but I stopped at week 6 because I stopped gaining at week 3, (GAINED 22lbs) I tried eating more but that did not change anything. I did not gain any fat at all either, I actually look more ripped and bigger, and way stronger, (BENCH is up 40lbs). You can see it was also a low dose short cycle.

So, do you guys thing I should just do short cycles, like 3 weeks on 3 weeks off? I have heard of people doing that, and I seem to be one of those people.

Here is my planned next cycle.

Deca @ 300mg/wk, D-bol @ 20mg/day, for 3 weeks.
----- then 3 weeks off-----
Deca @ 300mg/wk, D-bol @ 20mg/day, for 3 weeks. (same)
-----three weeks off-----
Deca @ 300mg/wk, TEST @ 250mg/wk, for 4 weeks.

I feel I can gain a hell of a lot like that, what do you guys think?

 

[Zyglamail]

I dont understand why the 3 weeks off? Deca is gonna be with ya for three weeks after last inj anyways and thats about when you should start clomid, yet your just gonna start another cycle? So if thats the case, why take the three week break?

Imo, you messed up. I've always got my best gains from sust late in the cycle. It takes abot 4 weeks for it to really get kickng. I think you should have stayed on. Three weeks on something like deca is a waste of time,imo. It takes that long or longer to really feel it. You should also use test with all cycles as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Mr_Pincushonass]

It seems that I react to AS very quickly, in the first 2 weeks I was up 15 lbs already by week 3 I was up 22 Lbs. Most people say test kicks in week 4, some say week 6 or 7 they start gaining weight, I gained my weight In 3 weeks and It stopped. They say everyone reacts differently to AS, well I react quickly to it i guess.

The reason I think I should only cycle for 3 weeks at a time is because that is when I stop gaining weight, so then I take a 3 week break and then start again.

Chances are if you didn't take any anti-E it was just water you gained in the first 3 weeks. How much did you keep from the cycle? Did you use clomid post cycle?

I would not run Deca for 3 weeks on, and 3 weeks off. IMO, that would be a waste. Run it for at least 8 weeks, straight no time off.

[Mr_Pincushonass]

Can someone please explain why using Deca 3 weeks on 3 weeks off is a waste?

 

[BiggerisBetter]

because during the 3 "off weeks" deca is still in your system and still helping you grow. imo its a waste of time and it will cut your growth short

 

[Mr_Pincushonass]

yeah that makes sense. Does any one know a good way to do short cycles that actually works? Or do you always gotta do 8 to 10 week cycles?

 

[MadCow1]

Short cycles are fine - I respond to most drugs quickly also. My cycles ranged from 4-6 weeks with the majority being 5 weeks.

If you are going to do a 3 on/3 off then use a short acting drug that is in and out fast (deca is the antithesis of this). Dbol is fine, stack with fina, winstrol, anavar, primo, prop etc.... Any combo of these or others work well also.

I personally think 3 on/3 off is dumb. Do 4-5 weeks minimum and be done with it for a few months. Don't get used to living on drugs and going on and off all the time. The body needs time to stabalize. I've found that the vast majority using the minimal time off (time on = time off then start again) lose lots of size if they stop cycling for a year straight.

My opinion and experience anyway.

 

[Mr_Pincushonass]

well would this be better?

deca @ 300mg/wk for 10 weeks
D-bol @ 20mg/day for first 4 weeks
test @ 250mg/wk for last 6 weeks

 

[Mr_Pincushonass]

what do you guys think? I need to decide what im going to do.

 

[Hugh Gellatts]

For short cycles use fast acting gear like prop, tren, suspension, and orals.

You will be a pincushion, but only for a few weeks

well would this be better?

deca @ 300mg/wk for 10 weeks
D-bol @ 20mg/day for first 4 weeks
test @ 250mg/wk for last 6 weeks

Looks good bro, but i would up the d-bols to 30mg/ED/4weeks, and up the Test to 500mg/wk/8 weeks. The deca looks fine. Good Luck.

Make sure your cycles are pyramided.......stopping all of the sudden at the end of a cycle while at high doses could lead to adrenal failure.....that's a no go. Plus....coming down slow allows your body to start taking things up on it's own. My philosophy is to just help the body to grow.....give it a hand......not a power shovel.

[Mr_Pincushonass]

well I will probably do the 10 week cycle but is there any way of doing short cycles with Deca? Im just curious because I have heard of people doing that.

 

[badazzwhitedude]

You could probably do a shorter cycle with another drug. Instead of Nandrolone Decanoate (Deca), you can use Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, which would be in and out of the system quicker. It's the same drug, with just a quicker ester attatched to it. What do some of you guys think about this?
