Are you saying none of this happens if not taking DECA and using another AAS like TEST or are you saying...DO YOUR PCT?

Because some folks will have libido loss with TEST also...not at widely reported as DECA but nonetheless there is a loss of libido with TEST.

Also, the last I checked...Deca armotizes (about 1/5 the rate of TEST) far less than Test hence less water gain.

Finally, Deca is a slow builder: "Deca is not known as a fast builder...A cycle lasting eight to twelve weeks seems to make the most sense, expecting to elicit a slow, even gain of quality muscle (Page 89, Anabolics 2004, William Llewellyn)." This translates into a better chance of maintaining gains from DECA than TEST (Bloat from TEST is a lot higher than DECA, hence more water weight is lost after a TEST cycle).

To the orginator of this thread: In general, most will warn you away from a DECA only cycle. Personally, it's up to the individual (some have reported libido boost from DECA only cycles)....but some test with deca would be a better choice....although...again, without proper PCT you will lose a lot more of your gains if not on a solid PCT.
