someone told me this. i really felt it was some good advice. hope this isn't considered plagiarizing. not sure they'd want their site names revealed
Running Therapuetic dosages of
Deca is very common and has been practiced for years . I've had Deca prescribed to me by a Doctor for this purpose. Other guys on these forums have as well.
yes you can run it year round with your TRT and get many benefits. you shouldn't get any prolactin sides either at these low dosages 100-200mg per week
deca also has 1.5 times the
Anabolic strength and binding affinity as test does. so it will help you hold onto more muscle as well its joint, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties
I normally don't provide advice on
anabolic steroids beyond traditional TRT, but since both
Deca Durabolin(
Nandrolone Decanoate) is often combined with TRT for the effects you describe, I feel it's worth commenting on an important potential side-effect that you should monitor and control. All of the nandrolone derivatives have progestin-like activity, which means they bind to feminizing progesterone receptors in addition to
androgenicreceptors.
Therefore, it is EXTREMELY important that you closely monitor and control E levels. Borderline high E levels by themselves will not cause
gynecomastia , but when combined with compounds that have progesterone activity, your changes of developing gynecomastia are greatly increased. This is what happens during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy when the placenta produces high levels of both of these hormones which stimulates rapid development of the mammary glands.
I believe this is why some guys are more sensitive to E with normal TRT than others. At some point in their life, they were exposed to both high E2 and higher than normal P4 and they began to develop some rudimentary mammary glands. Once E2 and P4 return to normal, they live relatively normal lives, but when they are re-exposed to higher E2 (as is normal with TRT), they begin to develop symptoms of gynecomastia, even without secondary P4 stimulation. Often, this occurs in guys who have done short "experimental" cycles of nandrolone (Deca) without paying attention to E levels.
How low do you need to keep E levels during a Deca cycle? I have no idea, but I would definitely not let it go past mid-range and I would monitor it closely with labs. Perhaps other guys with more experience with AAS could offer better advice on the precise levels of E that you should strive for.
