New guy on board, Deca question

[Gator13]

Hello to all , a quick introduction and then to my question. My stats are 5'11 , 214# at 12% BF, I have been lifting for over 14 years now and still growing , do to my job sometimes that is pretty difficult. Ok now to my question, I have a friend who decided to try his first cycle (deca only) 450 mgs a week and he has been on it now for 6 weeks. Going into the third and fourth week he began to see results typical with deca and now it seems as if his progress has stopped in the fifth and sixth week. He has been consistant with an intense training routine , high calorie intake and protein intake at least 400 grms aday and he's only about 175 . He has only gained about 8 # since he started when the cycle started to kick in and then he stopped. I myself have been through the ins and outs with cycles through much trial and error for a decade now and have never seen this before. My source is very legit , so Im not to concerned if its bunk gear which it is ttokkyo deca and it seemed it was working to begin with. Any insite on this would be appreciated.

First off...Welcome to the board! Some peoples gains stop after a period of time and others do not. It really differs from person to person. The only thing I can think of is maybe his receptors are flooded but I don't know how much sence that makes if any LOL

welcome...
good ? ..... but I never have done a deca only cycle...
or ttokkyo deca, I sure some one will help you out

as for it being bunk, i really don't think there is any fake ttokkyo deca yet...

oh, it may just be a Plateau

How much time does he allow for recovery in between workouts as they become more intense?

 

[Gator13]

Thanks guys for the response, and to G-force Im sure he gets enough recovery, we are on the same schedule. The only thing I can conclude from this situation is that it is possible some people dont respond very well to certain gear or who knows it could be a bad batch.

Welcome bro... The ttokkyo deca is very good stuff!! As for a bad batch I think this is unlikely. Ive never had or run into any reports of bad Ttokkyo Deca (of course there is a first for everything). Unfortunately for your friend it may be time to do one of two things: up the dosage to 600mg (my preferred mg), or add testosterone. Usually when I stumble in a cycle uping the dosage even by small amount causes things to get moving again.

If you are using a constant dose, progress will generally stop around the 4th or 5th week with deca.
