why does deca have such a bad reputation these days?!

**redwizza** · 05-21-2004, 01:01 PM

ok ive heard the worst things about deca ....seems like its the worst drug to use these days, and its contradictory to popular belief that deca is a good base drug!
ive heard that its the worst for hpta recovery, and its bad for bloat, and the gains are NOT that great.
well i can safely say that my best cycle was a deca and test cycle, even better than test/fina and dbol /test. i mean i got really really thick and i did not hold as much water as i did on dbol test and test and fina cycle. my recovery was not that touch either....i mean i got raelly cut post deca cycle, i began to see the amazing gains ive made. how could deca be harder on hpta than fina and test.....how could test be better for cutting than deca, does that mean that you guys think deca causes MORE bloat than test?! i dont know things just dont add up for me. whats the truth behind deca? plz tell us what your experience was with deca with dosage information. im trying to decide if i should do the following: deca 500mg pw + test e 250pw + 50mg proviron pd all for 12 weeks.

I know it may not soulnd like it from my other post, I like deca with the correct amount of test and precautions taken you will be fine. I dont get the bloat from deca like other guys talk about, it actually leaned me out some and after my last experience with eq I think I like the gains I made from deca. You just cant do deca or fina without test it drains the body of the drive to workout and eat and get a hardon, trust me on this I did it and it was awful

cool, i understand. yeah for the longest time i held the bad deca rep suspect. i did not find them true. i mean atleast if i ensure a great clean diet with good workout regimen, it should be alright and i should not hold too much water.

did you not like the EQ cycle you did?

for some reason, the older men i've known pretty much worship deca . when i try and tell them about the negative sides they just refuse to beleive me. maybe its just that we have all been updated with recent findings which prove the old theories to be obsolete....

**redwizza** · 05-21-2004, 01:19 PM

or maybe we are either using WAY too much gear with the deca or use too much of the deca or maybe the gear we use is very underdosed or fake!

**DCL** · 05-21-2004, 04:49 PM

IMO, i love deca , and with the right dosage the sides are low and gains are amazing. Quick question..deca is notorious for shuting you down during the cycle of only after the cycle?

**TRE** · 05-21-2004, 04:54 PM

Deca is the Sh1t.

**RussianVodka** · 05-22-2004, 10:58 AM

I love deca and test. It is a base for all my cycles.

**palequail** · 05-22-2004, 11:03 AM

I love Deca as well. I don't care if some people get shut down super hard..some don't....everyone is different and I think people need to realize that they can't make generaliztions about Drug use for everyone...

**sniper320** · 05-22-2004, 11:35 AM

I think some people give deca a bad rep buy doing a deca only cycle and then telling everybody how horrible it was. well if you dont know better than dont buy it!

**r2ii** · 05-22-2004, 11:37 AM

ima big deca fan

**madmaniac** · 05-22-2004, 11:45 AM

my 1st cycle was 400mg of norma deca per week. i dont know the weight change in lbs but i went from a regular dude to a big dude(in the eyes of my friends). ****ed alot more then normal and lost little size afterwards.

that was before i knew about internet steroid forums. because of the bad rap ive never done deca again.

my next cycle is test/deca.

**UrbanLegend** · 05-22-2004, 12:02 PM

Deca gets a bad rep becasue it has lots of side effects that come with it and there are other anabolics that are just as good but don't cause the sides. For example, deca hurts the hairline, shuts down HPTA via multiple mechanisms, causes progestron gyon (which from my understanding can't be stopped by nolvadex ), and gives gains in mostly water retention. IMO why not take EQ or some other anabolic that gives less sides?

But with all steroids , what works for some doesn't neccesarily work for others, so it really varies from peron to person. To each thier own.

I have no sides from deca @ 750mg (with 1g test)and infact it cured my bad shoulder and can do presses again!

I doubt that your bad shoulder is cured but for now the pain is gone and will more than likely come back after you are done with the deca . Same thing happened with my shoulder using EQ.....

**mackrazy** · 07-21-2004, 10:28 PM

I love Deca as well, used it in both my cycles. Did deca on its own and didnt see as much gains as when I did my 2nd cycle stacked with sust 250. Thinking of my 3rd cycle now, looking at Dece with something else besides sust :-p

I was under the impression that Deca was easy on the hairline. Nandrolone is 5-alpha reduced to Di-Hydro-Nandrolone, which is far less androgenic than DHT. I'm curious as to whether you experienced hairloss with deca.

**mackrazy** · 07-22-2004, 01:13 AM

ive used 400mg deca a week with sust and experienced no hairloss... my blood pressure did shoot up though and its still high....

I would watch doing too much while the pain is supressed by the Deca .

Probally the reason you have the impresssion that Deca has a bad rap is reading these continually "I want to do a Deca only cycle" posts.
