What to expect from Deca alone?

[kfrost06]

Initially I thought about Test e/c, but due to baldness issues (as my mom's side has baldness). I thought about hGH, but it's too expensive.

Now, Deca seems baldness-free, and thinking to run a cycle with only Deca.

What would I expect from a Deca-only cycle?
How long would I need (approximately) to see noticeable changes?
Is it true that Deca cycles should not exceed 8 weeks in order to prevent joint pain (caused by drying joints)?

two very good post answering your questions and I would add that you do not want to do anything under 8 weeks in fact I would say a minimum of 10weeks and aim for 12 weeks. Your joints will actually get better with deca not worse. You can expect some solid gains in size and strength from deca, a good high protien diet and serious work outs. As for balding you will want to avoid DHTs like masteron, winny, anavar, etc. There is also are popular 5a reductase inhibitors out there that you can take with testosterone that will prevent it from being reduced to DHT which will in turn prevent the balding side effects of that compound.
