How supressive is Deca?

[Swole-N-Iraq]

Ok, so if deca is anabolic and mildly androgenic, just how suppressive is it to natural test levels? This is Organon Deca btw. Lets say for a 6 week cycle as follows: Wk1 200mg, Wk 2 300mg, Wk 3 400mg, Wk 4 400mg, Wk 5 400mg, Wk 6 400mg... should it be tapered off at the end of the 6 weeks? I'm 205 lbs btw.. and Dbol from 20 to 40 mg ED ending wk 6 as well. I was under the impression after research that this was a fairly "mild" cycle and test suppression wouldnt be much of an issue...anyone agree/disagree? planned just 2 weeks of clomid for PCT and thats it, but im questioning that the more i read on here...

nandrolone is suppressive via PgR activity. it can be VERY suppressive

Deca shut me down hard! I would do deca for 10 weeks it doesn't kick in til about week 4. Also I would just do 400mg throughout and I would do the dbol for the 1st 4 weeks. Is this your 1st cycle? Also do 4 weeks pct I would do more than just clomid and I would get some dostinex.

worst shut down ever with deca. because of the horrible recovery i will never touch it, anadrol, or tren. my body cant take that again. over 6 months to recover.

Deca never shut me down. I had little to no sides. My sex drive was fine while on..and after. Everyone is different bro...You wont know unless you try. I dont know why you would taper the deca. You want to keep your blood levels steady. Just my 2 cents. You should run it atleast 10 to 12 weeks.

I shut down worse with heavy androgen use.....tren and test. Those who are prog senetive may get it bad...i dont even get deca dick. NPP, awsome compound.
Run your deca 400mg a week, minimum 10 weeks, no need to taper up or down (tapering down is useless...you are shut down until its all gone 400mg or 200mg the last shot, it doesnt matter).
PCT with letro and clomid. If you dont like it, dont run it again. Dont be scared away by people who have bad experiences with it, not everybody has the bad experience with nandrolones.

10 weeks minimum and do not taper

Deca will shut down your levels for sure. You will start to notice it on week 3 or 4. I would just run 400 mg whole cycle. However you need to get some test in there if you still want to have any fun with the ladies. You will get much better results if you were to stack the two or even run 300mg on deca and 400mg on test jump starting this with dbol, especially if you are a rookie. If you are a rookie you should get more pct. Where in the hell is your nolvadex at? Do you not care about getting bitch tits? You need to prepare for the worst. Get at least a months supply of pct because rookies don't know how thier body is going to react. Hell you might need some nolvadex during your cycle.

Dont risk running deca alone and being shutdown like i did for my first cycle of 300mg a week for 8 weeks...I was shut down for like 4-5 months my dick hated me....I ran another deca cycle but added a magic ingredient.....TEST! Run equal or more test than deca and have a good PCT lined up HCG and clomid you could throw in arimidex like i did or AIFM....But I was told not to use nolvadex for PCT because it activates proegesterone receptors and deca increases that level in your blood which may cause gyno....Good luck!
