Decaplex 250

Hi all,

Need some info please.

Question 1
Due to Dacaplex 275 long ester, will it also take about six weeks before you will notice any effect from it? (Assume 250mg twice every week)

Question 2
If you take Arimidex at 0.5mg ED throughout the entire cycle, will this prevent the bloat or will it only reduce it?

Question 3
Do you take Cabaser at 0.5mg E3D or did the protocal change?

Thank you.

Can't find any relevant info when searching "Deca". Any suggestions...

Thank you!

First of all, deca(and Nandrolone in general) doesn´t produce many estrogenic or androgenic side effects. This is because Deca has a very low rate of aromatization (conversion to estrogen via the aromatase enzyme), roughly equal to 20% the rate of Testosterone.

Also, I´ve read many places that Deca stores water in connective tissue, thus alleviating joint pain. I have no idea what "storing water in the joints" means. I have no idea how to really quantify that statement, or where it started. However, in one study of postmenapusal women, Deca impoved collagen synthesis (1), and in another study deca increased bone mineral content. (2)Both of these studies used VERY low doses, which were far too low to promote muscle growth. In my estimation, based on these 2 studies, an athlete attempting to use Deca only for these two effects (increasing bone mineral content and collagen synthesis) should be using 100mgs of deca every week. That´s actually a higher dose than those two studies used successfully. Even at ½ of this dose, in HIV+ patients who have experienced significant wasting, a 100mg/E2W (every 2 weeks) injection of Deca resulted in a "significant increase in weight" (5). I´d never recommend that low of a dose for an athlete, but it´s evidence of Deca´s strong anabolic properties. Deca is a very nice anabolic, causing nice (albeit slow) gains in quality muscle. This could be due to its moderately strong binding to the Androgen Receptor, or its many positive non-Androgen-Receptor mediated effects. One such effect is nitrogen retention, which is a major factor in muscle growth and lean mass gains; in one study, with low-doses (65 mg/week) and high-doses of Deca (200 mg/week), both low-doses and high-doses resulted in significant nitrogen retention (33-52 g nitrogen/14 days, representing gains of 0.5 to 0.9 kg lean tissue/week), and body weight increased by 4.9 +/- 1.2 kg, including 3.1 +/- 0.5 kg lean body mass, and treadmill exercise performance (cardiovascular fitness) also improved (7). Need I say that the higher doses in this study produced more gains? Steroid.com members who have posted their results with deca confirm this in many posts and threads, with their average reccomendation being to take 400-600mgs/week for muscle gain. I have to agree.

Deca is known for producing quality weight gains, but it has to be used for 12 weeks at a minimum, judging from members´ feedback, as well as my own personal experience. This shouldn´t cause any problems, since it is a very mild drug in terms of side-effects.

Hope this help you out a bit.

You can run Arimidex effectively at .25mg ed, and up it to .5 if you desire. Arimidex prevents the Testosterone from aromatising into estrrogen, which is the cause of both water retention and gyno. If you run arimidex from start of cycle, until pct + 3 weeks you shouldn't have any estrogen related problems.

I ran cabasser e3d with great success, but I only ran it because I was running tren. If you are exceeding your deca doseage by 100mg more of test, then you shouldn't need the cabasser.

What do you think of a 16 week cycle of Deca and Test C for bulking?Too long?I like to run long esters longer because they take sooo long to kick in. But, I will be stacking orals to kick start so haven't ecided on length yet.

Drop the deca 1 wk. before your last shot of test. Someone here could give a little more info on this.
I run long cycles myself 16/20 wks.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Much appreciated.
