I'll speak up. I've run anywhere from 350-900mg/wk of the good stuff, which is DTA and DTC (cypionate form)
It's fairly strong. Stronger than test. Overall, not as strong as Tren but in some ways, it is.
It's dry. Dry as can be. It's a DHT-based hormone.
For many, it isn't a good substitute for Test. This runs counter to the initial write-up, but for some of us, it doesn't provide the mood and sex drive that Test or Trest does.
Strength is great on it. I'd compare it to something in between Test & Tren. Not Trentard strength but better than Test alone. Maybe something like Test/Mast combo is a fair assessment. Combined with other orals, it's downright easy to lift.
As I've explained to others privately (and before I deleted all my write-ups on this compound), it strikes a balance between EQ & Masteron in terms of it's effects in the mirror. Hard, full, dry, vascular and good strength and aggression. Weight gain will be prevalent on it, as in it's no ester form, it is nearly as strong as Test PP & NPP, as seen in this quick write up from ergolog: Invalid Link Removed. If I recall, it's also not as hard on the prostate than either of the others it was compared to. Put this thing in Cypionate form and it would probably rival most other mass gaining steroids. For those that aren't aware, long ester configurations help increase the nitrogen retention in muscle tissue. This is why we bulk with long esters and cut with short esters.
The part I don't care for and advise people to prepare accordingly for is the potential head games it may put you through. For me, when run solo, it totally shut down my sex drive to a point that it actually made my sexual orientation gender-neutral. Scary but only temporary. This isn't particularly bad thing for those of us who wish to stay celibate or abstaining from extramarital relations. It literally allowed me to mingle backstage with a bunch of near-naked and ridiculously endowed 9's and 10's in the bikini and figure division without ever looking at them inappropriately.
To most on this board, this is strange. But believe it or not, there are a handful of us that wish to conduct ourselves in a very particular way. Desoxy T is a tool for such conduct.
But run it with Test, Trest or anything that has the ability to maintain normal libido and you'll be fine.
DISCLAIMER: I realize I ran IM preparations which undoubtedly behave differently in the blood as compared to the TD version. What I experienced and what I remember others experiencing was before TD preparations were around. It might be entirely different since transdermal delivery usually metabolizes differently, albeit not as potent. Also, there were a large minority that received nothing but positive benefits from it, including a neutral experience in mood and sex drive.
All that aside, this hormone is neat and very capable of bringing a beautiful shape to the body and muscles. My shape was very round and bubbly on this compound, mainly due to the glycogen load and massive increase in red blood cells that it produced.
