    Twist and Deca

    I have done a couple of cycles back many years ago, and Deca Durobolin was a staple of each. My question is, while on trt, would it be wise to do some Deca for about ten to twelve weeks or would that mess up the trt?

    how much ar ewe talking about, weekly 100, 200, 300? many of us done deca with TRT, it gave some joint pain relief but not much more. the dose was for joint relief was about 100-120 mgs per week, blasting I went up to 300 ew. but watch out for RBC, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit, taking deca and test it almost doubles the progress.

    Probably between 100 and 200 per week. I'm still adjusting my test schedule, Doc had me on 100 every 14 days but didn't feel right. Going to see him next Friday to review BW and probably go to 100 ew.

    Minimum once a week or you'll feel the roller coaster effect. Splitting that to twice a week is even better.

    Deca is pretty long. I run it once per week at 100mg year round.

    I've done Deca at 200mgs and 300mgs on HRT. I actually liked 200 better. Great for joints and for size!

    You guys make sure to keep that blood work in check and donate regularly. These 'small' amounts over long periods can cause issues if not paid attention to.

    Yeah my doctor is a big fan of deca . I have read some really interesting studies also even at low dose pretty anabolic stuff. Blood will be the deciding factor for me. You here a lot of guys say go with how you feel not by labs. Well I feel pretty good after 15 beers dosnt mean I should be adding it to my daily diet.

    I've had people tell me that it helps with joint pain. I'm also hoping for the "recuperative" effects.

    More like joint discomfort. If you're experiencing serious pain you should look into it further. Deca is not a cure.

    Deca is one of my favorite compounds. It makes my joints feel lubricated! Thts the best way I can discribe it.

    Deca is good stuff. My doc writes if for me as well. Very cost prohibitive depending on where you get it compounded but luckily insurance covers it. Good advice above, moderation and BW are key here. Normal dosage would be 100-200 per week for joint purposes. 4-600 for bodybuilding, IMHO.

    Good to see so many agree about benefits of deca . And right as long as you watch Bp and don't hit that 400plus range for too long too many times a year ( one 18 wk bump a yr my fav, ride 200 the rest) it's a great compound !

    Good to know. I have done it in the past with good results also. Got to get the test going right first. Should I bump the test during the deca ?

    Just Curious, what would your doc be looking for inorder to prescribe Deca ? Guess I didn't know it was part of TRT protocol.

    Join discomfort. Most doctors won't prescribe it unless there is a more serious issue.

    As far as bumping up tes when adding deca , don't change tes dose first run. And it will take several weeks to start to see deca results so be patient. When I do my 18 wk hit I lower my tes dose alittle, let the deca do the work, I seem to get better results with less Bp issues. Watch out about going to deca heavy, can cause other issues real easy.
