    Joint pain, I'm adding deca.

    3rd week in my cycle and i'm already feeling that joint pain i always feel when cycling with cyp at 500mg

    I'm adding 400mg deca for my next cycle, not this one obviously

    My question is, how effective is deca with this issue, Ive never cycled with deca before so I'm adding it next time, plus i want to increase my gains, mainly.

    I mean joint pain is an issue but i just ignore it and keep working out hard. I just want to know if its really good with this. I've read about this, but honestly i've never asked anyone, just read it.

    Thanks guys

    Works well for most but it can backfire if you are not careful. Sometimes people actually hurt their joints trying to train too heavy while using deca because they do not feel the joint pain until they come off. So use form over excessive weight even while on deca!

    GREAT ADVICE!!!

    may i recomend glucosamine as well.. it is cheap and aids in joint development.. i can definitley tell the difference if i am using it or not.. ten bucks usually gets you a months supply

    I'll go get some glucosamine, I never tried this sup before. Guess there's nothing to lose by giving a try.

    But i'll definetely add some deca on my next cycle, mainly to get more gains and try 2 substances.

    Thanks guys!

    MSM mate! very cheap if you buy bulk powder off internet... 5 grams a day for ever... I've been on it about 12 years or so... very subtle, until about after two or three weeks you begin noticing your knees are not bothering you nearly as much.

    Went through a serious of HA injections in both knees = it's an annual thing

    You can also order oral HA powder or caps... also not too expensive

    I'm already 3 weeks in and I can get deca in a week and hcg but I'll just finish this one and do my next one properly with deca and maybe anadrol

    Suppose it depends how much pain you are in.

    Never heard of it, Do you take this everyday or do you take some time off? I googled it and looks great.

    I bought glucosamine already i'll give it a try and see how it goes, if it doesn't work I'll look into this.

    I've tried glucosamine and cissus each for several months, thinking I'd get some joint relief from them, I never noticed anything. In fact, the only thing I've ever noticed had an effect on my back and knee pain was cortizone shots. But the more of these you get, the less it works.

    I had horrible joint pain post cycle! nothing during but about 3 weeks post cycle my elbows, and knees were ****ed! super bad! I think it was due to 60lbs to my bench, 50lbs to my squat and dead lifts....next time Im running deca with my test forsure! that or eq because I could have really ****ed my self up!

    I have also heard anavar will increase collagen synthesis by just about the same amount as deca so you might want to stick that in your stack as well?

    you know i'm really interested in anavar , i've been reading a lot about it. I'm not sure if i can get it here as with my test, so i have to check with my dealer. How good do you suppose is anavar with this issue?

    I had two knee surgery's on my left knee (ACL & cartilage all gone running bone to bone) and one on my right. Been on glucosamine, chondroiden, MSM, cissus for years and years. My knees still hurt. I did a deca + EQ + Test cycle (200mg/wk +150mg/wk + 200mg/wk) knees felt a little better. I did an anavar + test cycle (80mg/ed + 200mg/wk) and my knees were super stiff and sore. Don't know why. I stopped this cycle after just a couple of weeks. The reason for the low doses was that these compounds in higher doses, 500mg/wk +, tend to dry out the soft tissue instead of moisturizing it. I'm going to try a higher dose of deca at 400mg/wk + 200mg/wk of test to see if it helps.
