Hey guys. So i just picked up a 10 week cycle of Deca. I took my first injection yesterday. I know im stupid for not researching it first, trust me I KNOW. So i did a ton of looking into and i now know im supposed to be taking my 200mg of deca with something called TEST. So because ive already started my cycle, and dont want to waste that one injection, i just want to know how bad is the GNC version of Test Booster? that and how much should i be taking? i also know that after my cycle is done i need to get on Clomid to help me all my chemical levels back on track. So just for these 10 weeks, i just want to make sure that the deca/test is the way to go, and if the GNC version will work.

Testosterone enanthate
Testosterone enanthate


Quick overview:


Active Life: 15-16 days
Drug Class: Anabolic/Androgenic Steroid (for injection)
Average Dose: Men 250-1000 mg/week
Acne: Yes
Water Retention: Yes, high
High Blood Pressure: Yes
Liver Toxic: Low, except in mega dosages
Aromatization:Yes, high
DHT Conversion: Yes, high
Decrease HPTA function: Yes, severe

Testosterone enanthate is an oil based injectable steroid, designed to slowly release testosterone from the injection site (depot). Once administered, serum concentrations of this hormone will rise for several days, and remain markedly elevated for approximately two weeks. It may actually take three weeks for the action of this drug to fully diminish. For medical purposes this is the most widely prescribed testosterone, used regularly to treat cases of hypogonadism and other disorders related to androgen deficiency. Since patients generally do not selfadminister such injections, a long acting steroid like this is a very welcome item. Therapy is clearly more comfortable in comparison to an ester like propionate, which requires a much more frequent dosage schedule.

Testosterone is a powerful hormone with notably prominent side effects. Much of which stem from the fact that testosterone exhibits a high tendency to convert into estrogen. Related side effects may therefore become a problem during a cycle. For starters, water retention can become quite noticeable. This can produce a clear loss of muscle definition, as subcutaneous fluids begin to build. The storage of excess body fat may further reduce the visibility of muscle features, another common problem with aromatizing steroids. The excess estrogen level during/after your cycle also has the potential to lead up to gynecomastia. Adding an ancillary drug like Nolvadex and/or Proviron is therefore advisable to those with a known sensitivity to this side effect. The anti-aromatase Arimidex, Femara, or Aromasin are a much better choices though. It is believed that the use of an anti-estrogen can slightly lower the anabolic effect of most androgen cycles (estrogen and water weight are often thought to facilitate strength and muscle gain), so one might want to see if such drugs are actually necessary before committing to use. A little puffiness under the nipple is a sign that gynecomastia is developing. If this is left to further develop into pronounced swelling, soreness and the growth of small lumps under the nipples, some form of action should be taken immediately to treat it (obviously quitting the drug or adding ancillaries like Nolvadex).

Being a testosterone product, all the standard androgenic side effects are also to be expected. Oily skin, acne, aggressiveness, facial/body hair growth and male pattern baldness are all possible. Older or more sensitive individuals might therefore choose to avoid testosterone products, and look toward milder anabolics like DecaDurabolin or Equipoise which produce fewer side effects. Others may opt to add the drug Proscar/Propecia, which will minimize the conversion of testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone). With blood levels of this metabolite notably reduced, the impact of related side effects should also be reduced. With strong bulking drugs however, the user will generally expect to incur strong side effects and will often just tolerate them. Most athletes really do not find the testosterones all that uncomfortable (especially in the face of the end result), as can be seen with the great popularity of such compounds.

Although this particular ester is active for a much longer duration, most prefer to inject it on a weekly or bi-weekly basis in order to keep blood levels stable. The usual dosage would be in the range of 250mg-750mg a week. This level is quite sufficient, and should provide the user a rapid gain of strength and body weight. Above this level estrogenic side effects will no doubt become much more pronounced, possibly outweighing any new muscle gained. Those looking for greater bulk would be better served by adding an oral like Anadrol or Dianabol, combinations which prove to work great. If one wishes to use a testosterone yet retain a level of quality and definition to the physique, an injectable anabolic like DecaDurabolin or Equipoise may prove to be a better choice. Here we can use a lower dosage of enanthate, so as to gain an acceptable amount of muscle but keep the buildup of estrogen to a minimum.

With the proper administration of ancillary drugs, Nolva/Clomid and HCG, during post cycle recovery, much of the new muscle mass can be retained for a long time after the cycle has been stopped.

You don't have to run Deca with Test, thats just a favorite stack people like to put together. I personally love Deca by itself.

No, this wasnt a joke. It all kind of happened really fast. I have been interested juicing for a long time, but never know how to get a hold of some. a buddy of mine at work told me that he had a bunch he had to get rid of, so i bought about 10 weeks worth off of him. I only took the first injection because he wanted to show me the right way to do it. I was planning on doing a bunch of research. this only happened yesterday so its not like ive been on the cycle for a few weeks. ANYWAY, thats why i came here to see if i could get some help. I read that should should deffiantely be taking the test booster, so i was just seeing if the GNC stuff would work so i wouldnt have to order any offline. But i have now learned that i wont so i guess im gonna have to figure out how to get a hold of some. So being a first timer, is anyone able to give me any advice? I do know what im getting myself into, and i do know the risks.

Whatever you read didn't mean you should take a test booster from GNC. It was saying that you need to be injecting actual testosterone as a base on top of your deca. However, what i think you should have taken from whatever you read was that you are nowhere near ready for gear!

Tell us a little about yourself!

Bro...........I did something almost as stupid as you, but all i did was mix short ester with long ester and did my cutting cycle or gear before my bulking cycle. I did want to cut, but then decided to bulk. anyway long story short, stop, listen to mooch. the guy knows his **** and will not steer you the wrong way.

Ok,so yeah i read the post. I dont mean to be a pain in the ass or anything. Just was doing some research and this was the first site that popped up. Anyway a little about myself...I'm 21 years old, 160lb, 5'10. I've been going to tge gym for about a year spending probably $200 a month in crap from GNC to try to bulk up. In a year ive really only gained about 20lb from when i started. So, i looked into trying this stuff. I only planned on taking 250mg of deca once a week for 10 weeks, at least thats what my buddy set me up on. He said that because the dose was so low that i could go with the GNC Test booster and would be ok, and that also becuase it was so low, that i really didnt need to take clomid. So thats why i came here. I have heard so many different opinions about this subject i just even more confused.

I'll give you some real basic advise. I've run strictly Deca many, many times at 500mg/week with outstanding results. You can run just Deca if you choose. A lot of people will talk about loss of libido or deca d ick but I experienced quite the opposite while on Deca, probably a rare case. Any who, if you are going to run just the Deca take 200mg per day of B6, you can pick that up at any store. Pay attention to you nips, if gyno were to set in,(highly doubt it) take 80 mg of TAMOXIFEN CITRATE (that is not something you will get at a health food store). You should find that online immediately to cover your arse. Because if you are ordering it after gyno issues have kicked in, its too late.

80mg of nolva a day is tough on the liver. I did 80mg/day for the first 3 days after a harsh cycle recently then a week at 60, week at 40, week at 20, week at 10. I'd probably just do the 60/40/20/10 from now on, as I think the 80 was overkill.

Only in the case he were to develop gyno related issues. I'm not suggesting he run that in addition to his cycle, only in the event gyno is a problem. Thats what I was always told by my former manufacture and he was the smartest guy I ever meet when it came to these things.

He could also run .5mg-1mg of Arimidex (Anastrozole) if gyno were to become a problem (daily).

Not telling him to run it continuosly, just in case he develops nip issues. I wouldnt suggest running that high a dose for an extended period of time either, but elevated liver values would not be what I would be concerned about if I'm developing some nice C cups. The liver would rebound fine.

yeah, lol thats what i thought they were. Thanks a lot for the info, those links were very helpful. I had no idea that even such a small dose could f up tour test. so much. So it looks like i need to get a hold of some Test Booster, not that GNC ****, and some clomid to help get my chemical balance back to normal after i cycle off. Question for Eviladams though, what would be the signifigance of the B6 insted of the test booster?

Not disagreeing with you, many people have different opinions, nothing wrong with that. I'm also assuming that he isn't using nolva tabs but a citrate, which is less strong.

Alright thanks a lot guys. All the help was awesome. I do feel that i have a lot to learn. I guess i really didnt know what i was getting myself into. So from all the information i gathered, what do you think about this as my first cycle using deca:
10 weeks
200mg/week deca
200mg/week test
then do a short cycle of clomid after to help get my body back on track.

Research a bit more, and post up a new thread with what you found, and how you would lay out your cycle, and PCT.. Deca/test is a very common cycle, and there should be a TON of info, easily attainable. PCT too, there is a metric **** ton of info on that too.

I am sure you will get more answers having done some of the leg work yourself.

Have mercy, please.

You are going to want to probably run double that a week. And pct is not meant to be a "short cycle". Its meant to be thought out and the proper length. Not something you throw in for shits and giggles.
