Deca only, a bad idea I know.

**shamelessness** · 05-01-2008, 01:19 PM

OK, just started a deca only cycle today, took my first shot earlier on and plan on taking 2ml a week. I am not looking to bulk up hugely, I am just looking to add a bit of lean mass to help with my rugby for next season.

From reading articles online, most say that deca is not to be used on its own as it is a progestin. However if I can do I want to avoid taking test as I do not want huge size gains and definetly want to avoid "roid rage ".

In saying that, the very last thing I want is a complete loss of libido, so I was wondering, is there any way I can combat the blocking of test production? perhaps using testboosters such as methyltest or tribulus? or is there anything else I could add to the cycle that would combat this effect?

thanks in advance

and also.. roid rage doesnt exist..... so you may want to stop this cycle and do research

**slvrwrx** · 05-01-2008, 02:42 PM

The only rage your gonna get is from your dick not working.

But seriously i once did a cycle where i ran high amounts of deca and very low test. 500mg deca and 250mg test. It wasnt to bad not recomended and looking back i should have ran more test but the test did keep my dick goin. You should at least throw some in there

**shifty_git** · 05-01-2008, 03:30 PM

Dude this is a very bad cycle.

And deca is more likely to give you a bloated look on its own and give you depression, so therefore maybe rage. (as it will shut you down and you will have no test in your system - think whats test does for you.. erections, sense of well being, motivation, makes you a man etc)

You have bad a very bad choice.

What's ya age, stats? etc

**roid_rage** · 05-02-2008, 09:53 AM

Tribulus?? come on man... that's bs... the only thing is going to keep your dick working is test... so dont **** around, and at least of the least throw some 250 mg. W of test.... besides, who the hell tells you that for just using test you are going to get a monster??? if you do not eat to get a monster, you will not, roids arent some magical stuff that you take and just for it's own will transform your body and make you gain 40 pounds... with a good cycle (8 to 10 weeks, with test and some other anabolic ), good diet (and I mean eating at least 7 times a day), good training, and good rest, if you make 20 pounds you have to be more than happy... so dont worry about getting HUGE... you probably wont....

**guinho** · 05-02-2008, 09:55 AM

Add test to that cycle or pray to god hehe

**slvrwrx** · 05-02-2008, 10:05 AM

It shoot 4 different esters of test (omna) at 250mg EOD and i do not get this "roid rage " you speak of. Throw some test in there man you will be fine i was in your shoes once exact same thought and cycle but realize it was stupid and put test in there

**Bulldog1115** · 05-02-2008, 10:10 AM

you are a disgrace to steroid users if u do not stop this cycle and research!
Problems:
1. Deca with out test?= NEVER NEVER NEVER!..esp at the dose ur doing!
2. NO PCT! even if using test u will still need an Agrresive PCT whenever using DECA
3. Hows your diet? Workout Experience?drug exp?
4. ROID RAGE doesnt exist, if ur a diick before the cycle, your a diick on the cycle!
5. DECA can lead to massive water weight!...just as much if not more than test does!
6. "triblus" shouldnt be a matter of disccusion on this forum, not only is it a joke but the ingredients in the formula are inactive {trust me i worked at GNC}

**bnjf** · 05-02-2008, 01:32 PM

I took my first cycle three years ago doing deca only @ 200mg per week and gained 12 lb's on an eight week cycle eating very well and training hard. I was very happy and was able to keep 10 of it for many months until I got lazy.I'm very lean and vascular and just wanted to get a little boost.So my experience was possitive at that low dose with no sexual sides.My next cycle a year later I added a little test and it did make a big difference.I think most people read that deca is "safe" so they try this as their first cycle to get their feet wet so to speak.I say go for it just keep the dose low, below 300mg per week.

**XLCanadian** · 05-02-2008, 01:36 PM

I disagree a bit with the no roid rage . I did get a little feeling of uncontrollable rage once, but then it subsided after I blew my load. hahahaha too bad you won't be able to do that.

**I love it, i know its bad for me but I'm gonna do it anyways...

dumb ass

**canadian meat** · 05-02-2008, 04:28 PM

Isnt this like the 134234 tren or deca only cycle thread this week

**Bigmax** · 05-02-2008, 04:35 PM

Bro's...Thats just not true with everyone....Ive used deca only cycles several times...I know at least 2 pro's that stay on deca all year round and I or they never had any problems at all!!!...unless you have actually did deca and did experience "deca dick" please just dont spout by saying that whoever does it is in trouble...trsut me deca only cycles didnt hurt me and they dont hurt everyone...there are people that are affected by it...but to assume that cause a guy is doing deca and will have problems is wrong.

**bnjf** · 05-02-2008, 05:43 PM

Well said!

can I get an amen

**(1*)** · 05-02-2008, 06:06 PM

i did a deca only cycle about 4 years ago. didn't get deca dick while on cycle, however, i got it after cycle. (no pct). it lasted like 9 months! sometimes he would work and sometimes he wouldn't. (i'm assuming this was caused by the deca). talk about feeling like an idiot.. nothing like trying to get the groove on with someone for the first time and it not working.

the rage is not real... not for basic test anyways.
imo if you wanna get strong but not huge then do just test.

alot of people can have those problems from using deca only but alot of people also wont. i know a pbb that runs tren alone all the time and never has any ED problems. of course some people will but some wont. personally i wouldnt run tren or deca alone myself but thats just me.

**AFB** · 05-03-2008, 12:03 PM

I completed a deca only 12-wk cycle (300 mg per week) a month ago. I didn't stack it because I couldn't get both at once and wasn't sure if I was able to get the test at all. It wasn't like I could go to the local Bohack, so I made a choice and had to stick with it. Yeah, I could have either waited or began the test later oñ but when you're looking forward to something and the timing is right with everything else, you do what you do.

Regardless, I'm in an older bracket and maybe a lighter cycle for the first one in a long time was better. I did gain approx 10 pounds, trained the best in years, maybe the best ever for me, and followed a strict diet. I feel that I am in the best shape of my life now, and was totally satisfied with the results.

I took three weeks off and then began pct with nolva. As far as libido goes, I personally did not notice any difference. When you're married for a while with kids, opportunties don't come round as often like in the single days. Take what you can get when you can get it. LOL

I'm taking a little more time off before beginning the next cycle, which will be sust 250. One of the good things about deca is the joints being pain free, which came in real handy with me. I am going to try to do the next cycle w/o deca, but if the aches inhibit my training, I'm going to use it if I go for a third go-round.
