A Deca only cycle is not a good choice. It has been done, it probably will continue to get done, All we are saying to you is that Deca only cycles are bad if you want to have sex. The old method was Deca, BB's all around the world now know that Test of some sort is a better base for any cycle.


The reasoning behind everyone telling you that you need Test, is because if you want to have a sex drive, use Test... The testosterone in your body while on a Deca only cycle will reduce your natural test levels to almost nothing. By adding the Test E, you get it back. although your natural test levels are low, The Test E will in affect tell your body you have a buttload in your system, so it doesn't need to make anymore.

Deca only will tell you hey, i don't have any juice in my straw. Depression is of greater risk, Estrogen overload, not to mention the pct phase is a real bytch...

Plain and simple... Use Test in your cycle, even if you want to use Deca. If you want to use low doseages you can, Not really advisable to go lower then 400 on the Deca,(imo) i have seen lower. Perhaps you could try Test 400mg/wk Deca 300mg/wk. Fairly low dosages, Good gains all around.

Remember if you use Deca only, if you develop gyno, The bottle of Nolva isn't going to work that well, You will have to get something like Arimadex,Letro perhaps.


What ever you do, just be safe. Don't rush into anything. I know the feeling of the first cycle, You want to get it done and started.. Just be patient make sure everything you have is perfect.


Peace..
