Deca vs Equipoise???
Its seems like a never ending battle on message boards. Also it depends where you get your info or personal point of view. Sometimes things tend to look better on paper than they do in the body.
What is your favorite??
I personally find boldenone the better choice for bulking.(due to my epic reading??) Due to its effect on vascularity it is mostly used for cutting, but if you had a drug that increased your appetite like boldenone does, would you really use it to lose weight? It makes more sense to use it in a stack with a testosterone ester like enanthate or cypionate for good gains, instead of nandrolone. Sort of as a base. It aromatizes less than nandrolone and doesn't have that pesky progestagenic effect either, and because it increases appetite it would provide you with the means to an end in terms of gaining weight. Usually that means he will use a high doses of 600-800 mg/week for 2 weeks and then lower that dose to the normal 400 mg/week for the remaining weeks on cycle. But boldenone is stronger than Deca, mg for mg, as well as safer and less suppressive. The beauty of boldenone is that it can be an alternative for nandrolone when bulking due to its leaner results and more potent anabolic action, as well as an alternative for methenolone because while barely aromatizing its stronger than methenolone (Primobolan), gram for gram.
For athletes of sports other than strength sports or bodybuilding will also note that boldenone is quite likely the most favorable steroid for them to use as it also stimulates the release of erythropoeitin in the kidneys. Erythropoeitin is a hormone known as EPO and heavily abused among endurance athletes because it signals the body to increase the production of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Red blood cells are the carrier of oxygen in the body, meaning that a higher maximal oxygen capacity can be obtained and better performance can be achieved over longer amounts of time before lactic acid is built up, which would in turn result in cramps and a cessation of the activity at that level. In short it improves your stamina. For bodybuilders this characteristic may be useful in promoting increased vascularity.
So everyone vote and please throw in your 2 cents please!! I am not an expert. So I will let you and some of the vets battle it out!
