Need advice for first cycle???

[DoWhatItTakes]

I will be starting my first cycle and I'm trying to avoid test, even though I know I know test is best. Please don't ask me why, I just would like some input wihout someone starting to say something about test. I have QV deca 300 and QV eq 200. I am about 5'10" 172 lbs and I have a pretty lean build (abs show with about 10% body fat give or take). My question is would deca alone at 300 mg a week for ten weeks be a more effecient cycle than taking the deca at 300 mg a week along with EQ at 400 mg also? Would I just be wasting the EQ? Keep in mind that I am not trying to gain an enormous amount of weight, I just want to gain about 12-15 pounds and stay pretty lean without much water retention. I have a friend (who isn't as lean as me about 13% body fat before he started his cycle) who just finished taking a cycle of deca alone and he put on a pretty good bit of size, but he has some water retention. With me being leaner than him if I took deca alone, do you think I would still put on about the same amount of water retention? Any input would be nice. Thanks.

I heard of people using deca only for there first cycle with good results. I always recommend test for first cycle but if your set on deca I would recommend 400mg/week for 12 weeks. Leave the EQ out, 1 compound only for your first cycle. You could get some L-Dex to help with water retention but at that dose it shouldt be a prob. Good luck.

If you are worried about the water weight and want to keep the gains, then i'd go with the EQ alone. 400 mgs. a week. Another good thing about EQ is you get vascular. Just my 2 cents.

if it were me, i'd do it like you have laid out : 400mg/wk EQ, 300mg/wk Deca for 12wks

LOTS of protein

no need for 700mg of gear for a first timer. i myself would do 400mg of EQ for 10-12 weeks

400 mg/week of either one is good. Gaining 15 lbs. may not happen (then again you may get alot more than that) depending on how much you can eat...I would stick with one or the other, not both...

Well, I will also be taking cell tech creatine.....and since I am already pretty lean to begin with and I want to bulk up a little more, I guess I will go with just the deca and sell the EQ. Then my next cycle I might do some test with EQ to harden up. This way I will be able to know what works for me by taking the deca for my first cycle. Does this sound good to you guys?

Oh yeah, I also have some QV enanthate 250 on hand just in case the deca by itself begins to shut me down.
