    Deca e pct

    A very brief question here, why do many guys consider that the use of deca durabolin should stop two weeks before testing?

    Deca is a longer ester than Test (except Test U or D which people don't cycle with).

    taking advantage of this question, Deca Durabolin active life is 21 days? Thanks

    Also because the presence of deca when checking testosterone using the standard eclia methodology will give a false high reading. Deca is classified as an interference substance. Just use the LC/MS/MS methodology which eliminates the interference.

    Absolutely this. I’ve seen a LOT of serum testosterones coming back at stupid high levels (10,000+ for labs that will even report that high) with even moderate doses of Deca . I’m having to do strictly LC/MS-MS since adding it to my TRT regimen.

    Estou tendo que fazer estritamente LC / MS-MS desde que o adicionei ao meu regime TRT.
    Sorry for my ignorance plus what is LC / MS-MS?

    It’s a different test for measuring blood test levels, and it’s less prone to interference from other hormones.

    A little more expensive, but not much. If you look at privatemdlabs list of available hormone tests, you’ll see it as Testosterone LC/MS-MS instead of Testosterone Serum.

    It’s only been a week now, so I’m not seeing a whole lot just yet. I have noticed that the chronic plantar fasciitis in my left foot has shut up after two years, and I’m seeing less sciatic annoyance in my right hip. I can only assume this is the Deca starting to knock down the chronic inflammation in both sets of joints.

    I absolutely will. My plan is to have the Deca in place at TRT levels for at least 4-6 weeks before starting my upcoming cycle. Since this is my first run of a 19-nor, it made sense to me to go the therapeutic dose route before jumping up to 350mg/week.

    It’s basically the exact same thing I did with my first cycle with test after finding out I was primary hypo. Ran my 100mg/week TRT dose for a year before starting my 600mg/week first cycle.
