I am looking for feedback from people that ACTUALLY used deca.
I don't need "a friend" and "I heard" just people that actually did a cycle or more of it.

And if you stacked it that is fine also.

I just would like to get some FIRST hand opinions !!!!

Used it on my first cycle with dbol and I gained 32 lbs(no anti e's). Ended up keeping 16-18 lbs. Although I didn't really notice any sides then I would not use it again because it causes gyno in so many. I have puffy nips from puberty so I need no help in that department.
 
Yes. First cycle was 300mg/wk 8wks. Gained about 30lbs. Kept 25lbs. No noticable sides except shrinkage. Clomid had me back up in 30 days. No acne either.
 
used it liked will use it again
first cycle used 450mg and from then on 600mg week had no problems but everybody is different.........
 
I hate it...AND yes I have used it, went no higher than 400mgs per week...It MURDERED my sex drive for months after I came off...YES, I used all the correct post cycle "recommendations"
 
deca is a great growth steriod, i use it with every cycle...i use as much as 800 mg a week...with no gyno effects.....i work with the best in the bodybuilding business and its highly recommended.
 
Used it three times including right now. I get my best gains from it.

First time was 200mgs/week experienced no sides.
Second time was 300mgs/week with 350mgs/week of EQ and Proviron, a fantastic cycle. I was my strongest ever.
Currently using 400mgs/week with test and EQ. To soon to comment on results, but I'm on week four and and getting very strong, I'm actually alittle worried it might make me bigger then I want - don't like the obvious major juicehead look.
 
used , 1st cycle with dbol ,love the gains from it , have done better off deca than any other drug. Shit recovery tho.
 
Deca

I always had great results with deca. it's takes a little bit longer to get back to "normal", but bot too much. I'd use it again, I will use it again actually.
 
Deca is one of the cornerstones of bodybuilding, along with testosterone and dianabol. Everyone grows on this stack.....everyone.
 
I used it for the first time this year. Sides weren't as bad as I anticipated. Sore nipples (beginning of gyno) and nut shrinkage were the only sides.
 
For some reason deca made me look sort of 'soft-muscled'. Not watery, mind you...its just my muscles seemed both bigger and softer. It did kill my sex drive worse than anything, including tren.

If I were to try it again, I would run it with low dose test and 50mg/day winny, and I would make sure I was okay with not having sex for a few months.
 
i wouldnt go past 300mg a week IMO, i tried 400 then up to 600 and started getting sore nips,,,,300 is perfect stacked with something
 
Some people feel okay on Deca, but it doesn't do me much good because the sides are so strong (it's the nips). I did use it at 200mg a week for a little while long ago, but my nips would itch.

Winstrol seems to help, 50mg a day let me take 400mg per week recently, and the gains are definately good, however I feel much better on Tren and since it acts much stronger than Deca on Class I receptor activity, I'll opt for tren from now on for a potent close-binding androgen.

All this gyno talk cracks me up. I get ZERO sides on Deca. If I do 500mg or more of test, my nipples get real sensitive and I break out with acne. You really have to try it for yourself. Everyone is different.

I have tried nearly everything and I have narrowed my choices to about 5 types of gear. It takes time and trial and error to figure it out for yourself.
 
didn't like

Two things sucked about it. First made me tired all the damn time and friends who have done it say the same thing. I would sleep a solid 8 hours and then be drowsy all day and take at least 1 nap a day. Once I started working out it usually subsided but it was hell getting to the gym and getting amped up for a intense workout. The second thing is the o so common deca dick. I really was not that pleased with it. When I took it...I took it 200mg a week and frontloaded the first week around 400mg...i did not stack it with anything and it was my first cycle. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 5 or 6.
 
I am currently taking 600mg a week, I'm on week 7. I have gone way up in wieghts in the gym and love it. I have notice some nut shrinking but nothing serious. No other sides, a lot of people say they get deca dick so I started taking yohembe tabs and I get hard when the wind blows. My GF and I have sex every afternoon after work, its great!
 
I like the gains, no real deca dick for me, but anything over 300mg /week, I get the soar nips. Have not tried deca with bromo yet, but ran bromo with fina 100mg/ED with no gyno problems, so I am optimistic with deca and bromo.

I like mixing a low dose 200mg deca with 500mg Test and dbol.
 
Been using Deca stacked with cyp, 300 cyp 200 deca, EW for 14 weeks. No problems. No deca dick. Good gains. about to go on HRT and will try 200 deca and 200 cyp EW between cycles.
 
Used Deca @ 200mg/wk. Everybody says that's too low, but I had great results with it. 165lbs. to 185lbs. I wasn't interested in huge guns, etc. Never had any side effects including sex drive problems (but, hey, I wasn't getting any anyway).
 
I really like deca too. I had worse sides from test at a dosage within 100mg of each other, both by themselves.
 
Decca works, i dont know where these gyno stories come from. I get sore nips at 500mg test a week without anti-e's, but have done well over a gram of decca a week without any probs.
Bro
 
I use it once a year and love it, I have absolutely no problems with Deca and never have. Except maybe every once in a while getting some fake shit.
 
I dont know if i would do it again....i had good and bad experiences with it. I ran it at 300mg a week. It actually HEALED tendonitis in my shoulder and elbow i had for about a year and it never came back(its been over a year since my cycle), i gained a lot of size and strength and it didnt shut me down hard at all...i recovered quick. Gained about 30lbs...kept 22. The problems i had with it is that i bloated pretty bad on it....bloated me worse than test did, maybe im just prone but it was pretty bad....everybody noticed and it was pretty obvious i was juicing, Also my blood pressure got pretty high and my face was always red, and around week 6 i started breaking out pretty bad on my back and didnt go away completely til about 2months post cycle.

DO your nuts come back to normal size when you recover or do they shrink permantly?

No they return back to normal.
How fast depends on your post cycle recovery treatment.

I was taking 600mg a week and it shut me down BIG TIME...I will tke it again before the show, but I will only go to 400mg/week and stack it with Tren, winny and primo..
 
I've used deca with aratest, the deca was 50mg brovel, the pumps where nice and my strength increased somewhat. I also took 200mg. deca brovel and stacked with 200mg. test. I got much thicker and harder on the second one. I must say if I would only use it if it were qv300 or decadron250. BIGBIZ
 
Great drug. Don't like to go that high on the dosages though as it can get expensive. The more I think about it I find test a much better option, but still use deca regulary for the joint health and great gains...
 
My Experience

Ran it back when it was legal (a doctor prescribed it to me for weight lifting! Imagine that!). It is simply the best deal in the world when weighing costs vs. benefits.
 
As a PWA, Deca is one of the standard tools my doctor uses for me to gain LBM. 200MG/week 6 weeks on, 2 off. Goes great with Test and d-bol(thank gawd for PAPER). Didn't have any sexual side effects last night, but some of you might think that's TMI from me :). Lots of ways to convince a doc to give it to you leagally too! Thanks!
 
I used it for my 1st cycle 400mg/week, had no side and great results. For my second I mixed it with test used 400mg/week for both and got sore nipps reall bad about the forth week. So I think I will do another just Deca cycle and see if the test is what gave me the sore nipps.
 
deca is arguably the safest AS out there for you and produces great results. And since it increases protien sythesis, it helps clear you clear your mind and focus when your on it. I've had my best 9-ball tounraments while on deca. I'd recommend it over much everything else, even test. Just keep it at 400mg and you will be fine. no worries of gyno unless your genetically prone which is extremely rare.
 
I ran deca only @ 400 mg/week for 10 weeks as my 2nd cycle. I gained 27lbs, and kept 20. I was strong as a fuckin horse, my squats went up by 200lbs. Sides were nasty acne on the back, shrunken nuts and like so many others a murdered sex drive for months afterwards (I had no problems while on).
 
Im in week 4 of my first cycle and am up too 400 mG a week at this point and im having no problems at all and the gains are very nice. At this point i would definately use it again.
 
Ok i went ahead and weighed myself yesterday and in 4 almost 5 weeks on my first cycle i have gained 16 Lbs and have lost another inch in my waist :D
 
Deca

I have personally used deca years ago and many of our patients use and have used deca and the gains seem great while "on" but if you do not cycle with the propper ancillaries most seem to crash hard post cycle. Many times erectile dysfunction comes along with deca also. If used "correctly" with the propper ancillaries it can produce great gains and minimal side effects. That is my opinion of first hand use and patient reports.
 
Well I'm off now, I used the taper method for coming off and have not expierienced any Deca Dick at all, however, I have been completly off now for two weeks and have some of the nastiest zits on my chest I have ever seen. They do appear to be fading but as far as will I do it again? I already have enough for my next cycle and plan to hit up a 12 week cycle in late Jan or early Feb and be ready for summer :D !!!
 
I've already stated my opinion......I like deca, have used it for nearly 3 decades.
The facts about deca are these:

All steroids, including deca, are synthetic testosterone derivitives and all bind to the same receptor....the AR receptor.

Some steroids have been chemically engineered to produce more anabolic results and decrease androgenic side effects. Deca is the original of this type of steroid. All such derivatives, however, possess both anabolic and androgenic properties.

The standard scientific test to determine androgenic vs. anabolic properties is to measure the effect of the drug on the growth of prostate tissue(bad) and the growth of skeletal muscle tissue(good).

Esterless deca, when compared to esterless testosterone, has 80% less effect on prostate tissue, while showing over twice the positive impact on skeletal muscle tissue growth.

So is it any wonder that experienced bodybuilders love deca?
 
I just finished up 10 weeks of Deca at 400mg/week. I also did test at 750mg/week. I loved it. Dropped some body fat for the first few weeks then I started to gain some good muscle. I am now running the test about 3 weeks past the Deca to ensure that I don't crash too hard. I usually get a few zits on my back from test, but, with Deca and Test...I had some of the worst acne I've ever had in my life!
 
Great thread bro. I had run deca my 2nd cycle and loved the results. I ran it with dbol. I swaped it out with EQ for the next few cycles as I got scared of all the deca-dick talk (which I never got, but was scared that I would push my luck). I am reverting back to deca now that I have realised from experince that the gains from EQ dont even come close to that of deca, unless you are least double the dosage. I have also had time to do more research, and realised that the people that get shut down hard with deca did not run HCG with it. People who get shut-down hard, run it at high dosages, for long periods of time, and in the absence of HCG.

Its counterpart NPP makes it a safer alternative as you do not have to run it for as long and can get in, get your gains, and get out in 5-6 wks, before any sides have time to fully develop. If they do, you can always stop. My upcoming cycle will be with NPP. I am excited.

Same here.
:)
 
Used it on my first cycle @300mg/week for 10 weeks. Stacked it with Dbol for te first 4 weeks. When all was said and done, I kept about 12-13 lbs of solid muscle mass.

No sides to speak of. Except my orgasms were MUCH more intense for about 6 weeks in the middle of the cycle.

Actually, the only real deleterious sides that I had were not from the Deca, OR the Dbol, but from the Clomid I used for PCT. Made me feel crazy, like I was going through PMS or something.

I will use it again, starting in about 3 weeks. First time it was QV Deca300, this time it will be Norma @400mg/week. I will keep everyone posted.
 
I liked deca , I ran it a year ago for my first cycle. I tappered from 200mg/wk upto 300mg/wk. I did the cycle for 10 weeks. I loved it, I know tappering is old school but I have heard that that may help with deca use and is motly overlooked. Im not sure the answer on that. But I would use it again. I am on test 500/wk now and am in week 2, I will be adding 75mg eod of tren on week 3. I cant wait. If I am not please I will be running deca 400 test 400 for my next cyle. I was very pleased, I actually loss bodyfat it was nice !!!
 
Fuck Deca, it gave me Gyno, I had to have a pointy left for 6 months until i got it cut out lol... Never Again Funny Thing is that the gyno did not even start till around six months off the cycle.
 
Ran Deca twice. Its does cause rapid water gain so the gains are misleading. I got quite a few comments on how big I was getting while on it. I went up 15 pounds in 4 weeks and I was on moderate cutting diet. You can slim down on it but it will not be readily apparent until the water is dropped.

I had not sexual problems before or after either cycle. In fact, my sex drive increased quite abit while on deca. I also experienced some hairloss. Not to worried. It grew back within 3-4 months last time and I am sure it will do the same thing this time. I have used both QV and BL deca at 400mg/wk.
 
Gyno from Decca can be prevented with either Dostinex or Bromocriptine.

Technically, nolvadex shouldn't have any effect since the issues are based upon prolactin and progesterone. Although I have had gyno from Trenbolone and hit some Nolvadex for 2 months and it went away.
 
It's a love/hate relationship. Always make huge gains when I stack with test/dbol, though it always kills my recovery. I think it is also the cause of my sore nips since I'm using a higher dose now. I will probably not use it again, even after three cycles with it.
 
I used it about 3 years ago and I will never forget this experience.


I used 400 mg of deca/week. I looked great. No puffy face look. The chicks loved looking at me when I would go down to the beach but the sex drive was not there and the chicks could sense it...

I would lure the chicks into bed with my hot body and I wouldn't know what to do with them once I had them in bed with me.. DECA DICK !!!
It kinda fucked me up for a long while after I stopped. Maybe I should of taken some test. Oh well. I did look awsome and had no side effects while I was on it other than sleepy dick.

Whats the point of attracting the opposite sex if you can't take it to the next level...SEX..

TRUE STORY !!!
 
I cycled with it 250mg/week for about 8 weeks. I fronted with a few weeks of Dbol at 30mg ED.

The deca was suppressive; I could feel the nut shrinkage and loss of sex drive. But, deca made me very calm, like a nice peaceful feeling for most of the time. I can definitely feel the difference now that I'm off it.

I used it to heal my shoulders which were aching so badly for some reason that I could not even lift at all. Couldn't even do triceps pushdowns, they were hurting so bad. Moving my arm while overhead was painful. I took the entire 8 weeks off and just did BJJ for exercise. I went to the gym for the first time a week ago and the shoulders felt phenomenal.

I will probably do deca again, but the shedding I experienced probably from the Dbol + deca was more severe than with Sust250 at 1 shot E4D + dbol for the 1st 4 weeks, tho my dbol dosage then was 20mg ED.

The dick gets sleepy, but there are ways around that. When I was with a chick, I had no problem getting aroused, but I have not thought about sex as much.

This was a very low dose and mild cycle and it completely prevented catabolism. I stayed at the same size even without lifting and with a lower calorie diet. I noticed improved vascularity and muscle hardness.

Anyone else have experience with excess shedding from this? I think it subsided once I got off Dbol, but maybe Dbol + deca enhances it? I know about the Nizoral and Minoxidil routes, so I should probably try those.

What's a consensus recommendation for frequency of nizoral and minoxidil application?

I hear that gyno from progesterone can't occur without estrogen.

So wouldn't nolva in theory prevent deca/tren gyno?

Or is the above statement false.


While were talking about deca, its a staple drug for bulking hands down. I do understand why people go the NPP route though.

500mg of deconate per week takes like a month to clear, while npp is long gone in like 8 days.
 
Wouldnt modern cycle methods tell you to run something like this

maybe dbol 40mgs/day weeks 1-4
weeks 1-8 test enanth 500-750mgs/wk
weeks 1-8 test prop comprable
weeks 1-8 deca 400mgs/wk
weeks 9-12 npp 400mgs/wk
weeks 9-12 winny 50mgs/day

Maybe drop the orals or atleast winny if on 3rd or 4th cycle ???
But in hard and finish with fast acting esters to make the start of pct quicker ??

Or just the
 
I have used deca a few times and have really like the results. I dont see too many sides at all while using 400mg/wk. I am going to bump it up to 600mg/wk in my next cycle but drop the test down from 750 to 500mg/wk. I feel I experience more sides when the test is higher. 500mg/wk of test when stacked with deca is plenty to see good gains as long as training/diet/sleep are all in check.
 
Kills my sex drive. Will never use it again.
 
The Truth regarding DecaDick.....

Click to expand...

I used Deca @ 400MG ew for 12 weeks along with Winny and Halotestin.

To put it bluntly: soon as I flowed the shot, my libido flip-flopped and my dick drip-dropped.......

Deca is the only AAS that simply killed my libido singlehandedly....

LimpDick has never been more appropriate a characterization, hence the term: DecaDick.....

Be careful, Wetback......for the sake of your marriage and your wife's sanity, I would advise you to think things out carefully.....

Hope this helps.

never had a problem with deca, alwyas used it. now stack it with primo. but ive always used yellow top deca, extraboline. now i only use it at the start of my course as i taper down at the end onto winny and d/bol.
 
Deca is my country's national steroid. EVERYBODY uses it here. I think deca and testosterone are generally the cornerstones of bodybuilding. Deca works slower than test, there is no dramatic increase in strength or mass like with test or dbol or anadrol, but in contrast to these steroids, you'll keep almost all of the gains you made with deca forever. I think there's no point in using more than 400mg per week, unless you're a 130kg mass monster, otherwise it will be just a waste of gear. I've never had any side effects from it, no gyno, no water retention, no deca dick, testicular shrinkage can be fought by using hcg a few times during the cycle, and doing a proper pct afterwards of course. You'll never get gyno from deca if you are'nt prone to it, and even then this can be fought by using nolvadex or clomid. Testosterone and dbol are much more capable of causing gyno than deca anyway. I suspect that many people in the US have a negative opinion about deca because they've been using fake deca, it's no secret that deca is one of the most faked steroids in the US, so it's very likely that their amps actually contained testosterone or no steroid at all.

Dostinex and Cabaser are actually the same drug : cabergoline. I probably should have mentioned these drugs in my post, but I've never used them and hence have no opinion about them. Nolvadex and Clomid have been used for many years and work well with most people.
 
makes me look like the stay puffed marshmellow man
 
I used it by itself when I was 16, I think I took 1cc twice a week for 4 weeks and quit because I was getting chest pains. I had great strength gains but didn't achieve the mass gains that I really wanted. I may have gained about 8 lb's
 
i did a cycle of 400mg deca and 100mg of primo and gained 21 lb in 4 weeks but stopped after that cause of ma bird but i kept nearlly all that weight apart from a few lbs just started a fresh cycle of deca and sus and have already gained 7lbs in the first week.
 
used it 3 times and always gained alot from it but never held to much post cycle till i got my nat..test back always shut down hard the last time i did it i could not even finish the vile tired of being bloated but it was the aussi stuff 1st time 300 think i was doing to much not to sure thou....differs person to person
 
My very first cycle (5 yrs ago) was a light decca. minor decca dick, minor nut shrinkage, no nip soreness problems. But just after end of cycle, my back broke out like a M-therF--k-er!
 
I got stronger on 350mgs of deca more than 500mgs of test. However it took me a few months to recover from shutdown due to deca. I will never take it again.
