Not only that but the sex drive will be better with 250 mg testosterone and 500 mg deca then the other way around. The sweet spot for testosterone and sex drive maintenance is close to 200 to 250 mg. Any more then that gives you short term gains in sex drive then it starts dropping in a few weeks when estrogen starts building up.
I am with the new school of thought that testosterone should be taken not as a body builder, but to avoid sexual side effects of the deca. You want to take just enough testosterone to maintain your comfort but not to even need any anti-estrogens at all.
My most recent cycle used this concept and it was great. I ran 300 mg trenbalone E per weeks with no more then 200 mg testosterone e per week and it was best most well sustained sex drive of any cycle, no water bloat, absolutely NO acne at all - even now in PCT because my body is not dealing with estrogen build up. I will never take more then 250 mg testosterone again, but remember the substance you stack with (deca, tren, etc) can be higher dose). Also other side benefits of lower testosterone doses... blood pressure stays lower due to lower water bloat, still grow like hell, no acne, waaaay lower post cycle blood cholesterol levels, etc.
