having been in the game for 20 yrs ive used deca about 20 times. anything over 600mg week has very low benefit, high sides. ive never had a prob with deca dick or water bloat. if you dont want to use test to combat deca dick then imo proviron and 500mcg hcg 2x week with some kind of anti e for the hcg sides should do the trick. the benefits with deca are many so getting around deca dick sides would be important to me to make use of it a very positive experience. for those who get deca dick try the proviron, hcg, and anti e and let us know if it works. if anybody has tried this let us know how you faired. deca is the best for sore joints so its great to add to a heavy cycle and keep your joints healthy while using heavy weights. the only bad side i get is irritability during the first month or so. dostinex should take care of any gyno issues caused by deca or tren for that matter and actually help with sex drive. not that great of a choice for dieting as it does require high amounts of quality calories to get the most benefit from a deca cycle. personally i prefer equipoise over deca. although deca is better for joint health equipoise gives me better pumps due to is ability to increas red blood cell count and equi gives me a really good sense of well being. to me equi and deca are equal in strenth and i guess the utimate would be to stack them together and get the benefits of both. just my 2cc's..........
