I found myself wanting to use it on each cycle, I don't know if I'll use it in my summer cycle haven't thought about the whole thing, I usually have terrible winters, horrible pain, lots of pain meds and nsaids, sometimes scary sudden joint pain while lifting then I drop the weights and head home frustrated, can't stand up straight for a long time at church, swollen fingers, my doc wanting to put me on methotrexate (which I refused) .. this winter went like a summer, some pain here and there but nothing like I'm used to .. I can only talk about my experience .. but I do know that when I decide to hop on TRT, it will surely be there, something like 100 test / 50 deca per week depending on bw .. anyways this is not an option now .. I'm 30 years old, maybe 9 or 10 years later .. it may seem like I'm over-hyping deca but hey it worked for me, temporarely
