I think its unfair to think that Tren and Deca can't be ran together cause they are both 19 nors.. Deca is nandrolone, and Tren is a nandrolone derivative. thats like thinking you can't run test and eq together because test is test and eq is a test derivative.
tren and deca are two very opposite and different drugs. what they have in common is their progestin activity and thats about it.
I like running them together because Deca by itself is essentially an "anti androgen" and only works as an anabolic. deca converts to DHN, rather then DHT, and binds to receptors as an androgen but illicits zero androgenic activity. so essentially, over time you become 'anti androgenic' and 'feminized' (for lack of a better word) . when you add Tren do the mix, you get a super strong binding affinity to androgen receptors and you get 5x the androgenic activity of testosterone. So tren is a great way to add androgenic load to your deca cycle, without having to add in more test and estrogen load.
and you don't necessarily need much estrogen load, because the progestin activity of the deca (and tren) is sensitizing you to estrogen to begin with (so your body can do more with less essentially)
if you can afford it , primo is hands down far better then EQ imo. but again, just cause you may add in the primo doesn't mean you need to drop the Deca. I think both deca and primo are drugs that can be ran fairly long term and utilized in cruise phases as well.
as for Tren though, I like to limit that to 6-8 weeks. so save the Tren for your on cycle cut phase .
however, running low dose Tren, like 20mg per day, with a mild cycle can add a lot off androgenic load with very little total MGs
