Hey everyone,
This is my first thread here but have been active on another board that didn't have a mobile app which is why I switched over here to AM.
Something I've seen often questioned and rarely answered are thoughts on running Deca only. Anyone who's looked into this has heard the rumors of athletes in the 70's doing this often but I've rarely been ever to find someone writing their actual results in a post, soo I decided to give it a shot for the sake of research.
A little about myself: Have been cycling since about 2010 and began cruising with short annual blasts around 2013. Have always been someone who enjoyed low dose cycles (less is more) and have been cruising on test anywhere from 60-200mg/wk. Eventually found 100mg/wk to be my sweet spot (Test Decanoate) and kept it their but would come across very minimal sides that people typically get from test. Really the only things that bugged me were slight bloating (my sodium is not too low but test seems to enhance the bloat) and a libido that made it hard to focus on the important things in life.
With that said I decided to consider Deca as my trt hormone since it is slightly more anabolic than test and a two thirds less androgenic. So far my journey has looked like this:
Week 1: 60mg
Week 2: 60mg
Week 3: 80mg
Week 4: 80mg
Week 5: 100mg
Week 6: 100mg
Week 7: 100mg
Week 8: 100mg
So far when compared to test as trt, deca has helped me live a far more comfortable life. The slight bloating from before is non existent and my libido feels much more normal and less distracting. One downside is I feel much less fuller than I did with test, as in my pump is nonexistent on the days I do not go to the gym and barely noticeable on the days I do. Another positive I've noticed is that I can finally bench again as before my shoulder injury would make it impossible for me to use anything besides the smith bench or machines.
I want to keep this dose till about 20 weeks and then go get blood work and see where I'm at. I don't really want to gain anymore size but I am considering ramping up my dose to around 600mgs/wk in order to see how it goes the way others would intend to use it as a cycle.
Hope this provides some insight for some of you considering deca only and in a hurry to start. Will keep you guys posted as the weeks go by..
