Any other compounds with the joint supporting effect of Nandrolone (Deca/Durabolin)?

**BennyLom** · 10-05-2009, 03:16 AM

A friend would like to run Nandrolone as part of his cycle simply because he has several joint issues (knees, wrists, left shoulder).

we are however hearing a lot about difficulty to recover from Nandrolone and negative effects on libido and so it's a tough decision currently.

1.) Are there any other AAS with similar joint lubricating effect as Nandrolone?

2.) If not, does it make sense to run Nandrolone (Deca ) very low to avoid sides but still get the joint support? Say at 250mg/week? The backbone of this cycle will be Test E.

3.) Somewhat unrelated, but does it make sense to start the Nandrolone (Deca) cycle before getting on Test E and then also quit the Nandrolone (Deca) cycle 1-2 weeks before getting off Test E? The thinking is that he wants his PCT to address both Nandrolone and Test E and because Nandrolone stays active longer he will quit it EARLIER (but also start it earlier to compensate).

Any constructive help is welcome!

Regarding what you said about "difficulty to recover" and "the negative effects on libido", I wonder if there are ways to prevent (or at least drastically reduce) shut down.

If you take HCG while taking Deca , will it decrease the shutdown effect of Deca?

Anybody else?

Adequan...google it. Not a AAS but will work wonders on your joints...

You can start the DECA one week sooner then the Test E with no worries. You would then be able to run it as long as the Test E. Just stop the Deca one week before the TEst E and start PCT 2 weeks after last pin of Test E.
