Basic Deca Question

**Axle** · 02-29-2004, 08:25 PM

Hey Guys,
Long time Reader (kinda) First time Writer....
I've seen many posts on how deca -durabolin can be done in a 10 week cycle. some have it at 250mg every week for the whole cycle, and some have it at 250mg for the first 3 weeks up to 350...and 400...then cycleing down to 300....and 250 heading toward the end of your cycle, which way will be the easiest on your body, and should a test of some kind be done with it?? I've seen people saying to use Cypionate , is this a good way to do deca, or is it not needed?

i would not run deca without test..
do not pyramid doses.. keep the same through cycle.
run the test at a higher mg than the deca.

BTW..if this is your first cycle forget about the deca for now and consider a test only cycle...
peace

Yes, you need test as a base especially with deca .
500mg/Wk of Cyp, 400mg./Wk of deca is a pretty good cycle.

bodybuilders haven't used the pyramid method since the advent of clomid. They only did that so that their bodies normal test levels would come back to normal quicker. Now we just try to keep the blood levels constant and wait until the androgen is out of our bodies to jump start our natural test again. If you do decide to run deca in your cycle make sure you are running a higher mg of test so that your libido will stay wherever it is and make sure to get anti-es and something for PCT. Enjoy the darkside

So I understand that some Acne may result from AAS use...
And I Read In The March IRONMAN pg.307 that Cortisol the bodys main stress hormone may increase Acne, is there a way to combat all these **** ZITS!!! or is it just as simple as some Cort-Bloc, I guess what Im getting at is if I choose to do a Cycle of Test+Deca What Should I do to try and Prevent any possible Breakouts??

Sorry If this is a dumb Question
Any help Is greatly apreaciated!

I disagree, this is too much for a first cycle. My very first cycle was 250 test 200 deca and I grew very nicely. Still my largest single cycle gain ever.
