    Is Deca worth it?

    Been planning my second cycle after test E alone 500mg. Was thinking of the tried and true test/deca/dbol cycle, but I've been having second thoughts on deca recently, in light of recent posts about sex drive loss, progestin gyno, and of minor concern, the 18 mos. detection window. One hears about keepable gains with deca, but you also hear about bloat, etc. Equipoise might be an alternative, but I'm looking for a bulking cycle.
    My question is whether nandrolone is worth taking in a stack, given the above issues. And if not, what are some alternatives for a mass cycle to stack with test E? Thanks.

    If you have your diet in check you always keep your realgains.

    I say go with higher dose testo instead of adding deca.

    if you do test e 500mg/w+deca 500mg/w its 1000mg/w, so do 1000mg/w with testo alone and you will get more for you money.

    I've done deca a few times and it did not do much for me. I'll never do it again.

    I've done eq and that stuff works great for me. Decent lean gains which were easily keepable, plus, I looked very cut up while I was on it.

    It all depends what works for you.

    I would stay with the deca if your goal is to bulk. I would also take ldex .25mgs day, 10mgs nolva ed and b6 ed to help combat some of the sides. Also make sure your test dose is higher than the deca and run the test longer. Hvae your pct in line to get your nat test up and running again.

    If I was to bulk test+decca would be my choice for it's effects on joints and added strength and size.

    I used deca and was very happy with it, combined with a EQ or enanthate test, worked very well for me

    i have used deca a few times when i 1st started out and thought it was great,as long as you run the test at a higher dose,imo 2-300mg more weekly you should not have any issues with loss of libido!after using eq though for me there is no comparisson,id rather have the lean vascularity and hardness than the puffy bloat of the deca!
    in the end its all about what you want out of the course!

    I hate deca in every sense of the word....I will never use it again!

    Now I use primo as a substitute(as an AR-binder). It can be run in much higher dosages and therefor, achieve higher maximum effect than deca, anyway. If you run nadrolone to high, progesterone-sides can become a real problem.

    Run an AI to solve that problem.

    Yes, that will solve the gyno-problem. But there are other annoying sides with having high progesterone levels, called, "killed libido".

    Thanks to all for the good feedback. Everyone has their own preferences and opinions--makes life interesting. I would go with EQ except I'm already extremely hard and vascular--I want size gains. I think I will try deca at least once in a stack to see how my body reacts. I ran l-dex .25mg/day with the test, and I'll run it again. The only downside is that it dried me up so much that my shoulder started laring up again. That's another reason I'm looking forward to the test/deca combo.
