TRT and Deca

[MILKMAN73]

I have bad joints. Knees, shoulders, elbows, back, just a hot mess from my Army days.

I've been on TRT since the start of 2021. I'm happy with the results, but wish I could keep the acne in a bit better check.

I started out with 200mg/ml Test E, taking .4ml twice weekly. I played around with the dosage and at 1mg twice weekly I break out bad. Just for a nice cruising dosage, my body seems to like .8ml twice weekly.

I also take the AI they prescribe as well as twice weekly HCG. I also take Propecia. Pushing 50, I already had some thinning and so far doesn't seem worse.

I'm thinking of adding Deca through the TRT clinic. They are talking about a .4ml twice weekly dosage (again, 200mg/ml Deca).

I'm not waiting growth. I'm seeing happy results with the test/hcg. I would also like to keep my hair and I don't want to have to increase test to make up for any sexual disfunction Deca may cause.

Does .4ml Deca, .8ml test (both 200mg/ml) and HCG weekly sound reasonable?

I know a lot of people just say "bad joints" to get the Deca, but I truly want to try it just for the joint pain benefits.

Thoughts?

Ive been on 200mgs deca weekly for 2 years now. TRT for 15 years. The deca eliminated body aches for sure. I used to snap crackle pop getting out of bed and thats gone. Knee, shoulder, and back pain gone. If youre looking for straight joint relief, start at 50mgs weekly then increase 50mgs weekly if not working.

I am using Deca for the first time and I am at the 10 week mark of a 12 week blast of Test 300 & Deca 125 weekly with 3 ius of GH. My joints have felt better which have allowed me to lift more plus I've seen a major strength increase. I have also been very happy with the changes in my body. This was designed to be lean bulk and results have been good. The 1 to 1 ratio of deca and test worries me and would try to keep it at least 2:1 test to deca imo to avoid Deca dick. So far no issues in that area for me.

Milkman there's nothing wrong with what you're proposing at all.
That amount of deca will cause you no problems.
No need for twice weekly injections with it. Once is fine.
Same as Warchild, I've been on both for years.
Just be careful they don't charge you an arm and a leg for it. If so, get it elsewhere.

Also know that when on deca all future Test and Free Test blood work will have to be using the LC/MS-MS testing methodology which has to be written on the script. If not Labcorp and others default to the ECLIA version which will be skewed and give false high Test readings due being classified an interference substance on the ECLIA test.

Exactly.
