Has DECA fallen out of favour?

[Blast]

That's likely because you where prone and DHT secretions causes hair loss.

Adding additional hormones into your body can induce higger production of DHT of course, would have been wise to take something like finastride once you started noticing alot hair loss.

You’re spot on. I’ve done 4 cycles with Deca included and even on a 200mg a week cycle cycle my hair fell out noticeably. I used finastride halfway through the first cycle, but I ended up switching to dutasteride for the others and even then my head itched like crazy and hair kept thinning.

Other than that one downside it was awesome for putting on size and mentally I felt fantastic.

On Tren A + Test P taken daily, I was my leanest, strongest and heaviest I’d ever been. but I felt exhausted almost the entire time and I’d be yawning mid work out. Also my hair fell out worse than anything on Tren.

deca cycle length - 12-16w? Work best?

Thanks for that detailed answer @KAOS Anabolics and all the others guys

Any PED used should never be picked on the basis of it being in or out of favour. Like a fan choice or winner of PED of the month.

Instead on how you get on with it (a few comments above on that), other choices (see NPP comments) and your specific needs (not everyone will use it for the same reasons as you).

It's also worth mentioning that often, back in the mists of time lol, we didn't have access to or the breadth of scale of PEDs we do now.

Thanks @Mobster - I always have your voice at the back of my head saying 'what's worked in the past still works today'

Should just do cycle based on your own blood work that's what I'd do. Generally 16-20 weeks for me

100%. That said we often forget we change and so does how we respond to a PED. How I'd react lean vs fat for example. Dosing too

Pro

I plan to do a bit of a winter bulk in a little while - but have notice deca seems to have fallen out of favor?
Has anyone else experienced that? I thought it was a tried and tested old school bulker (i.e test + deca) that has
been used for a long time - but have seen on some chats that people are preferring eq/primo to bulk rather
than deca/npp.

Probably best to go with what your body is used to but just because a group of ppl dont like DECA due to poorly Interpreted animal studies doesn't mean you 2 should avoid DECA.
Its stood the test of time and help build many a physique.

Nandrolone is no issue with building the tissue we want. Its just that as education has finally come up to a decent standard thanks to the safer use model, it makes sense to use the most benign compound that grows tissue just as well as anything else like primo and masteron. Nandrolone can be fine if you personally tolerate it well. I've never used anything else other than testosterone or masteron, after all, masteron was used to growth cattle just like tren was.



It would male sense though to have a bit Nandrolone in there, 100mg for example, for soft tissue support. Otherwise pick your growth promoter from masteron, primobolan, Nandrolone, get your testosterone base at a point where don't need to use an AI and push for a long run.

I really like deca and yeah Test and Deca hard to go wrong with. Some people don't get along with deca, others love it. It can wreak havoc on dopamine pathways as all nandrolones do, so some struggle mentally on it.

NPP messed my head up.

NPP messed my head up.

In what way?

 

[juddy]

In what way?

I’m neurospicy—bit of autism, bit of ADHD. Most people don't notice the tism but can spot the adhd.

The best way I can explain it is that my mental battery just stopped recharging. I got unusually agitated by stuff that would normally just annoy me for a moment before I let it go.

I also became way more emotional—not estrogen-related, I confirmed that with bloods—and found myself constantly ruminating over things. Just stuck in loops, unable to let things slide like I usually can.

Also paranoia, and very much a tren like distrust of my Mrs, or anyone for that matter.

Tren was worse, wint go near that again.

Interesting cheers. Good info to know for those neurospicy people. How was anxiety while on it?

 

[juddy]

It was worse—but still manageable. I was running 100mg per week of NPP, split EOD.

For me, anxiety isn’t constant—it disappears when I’m busy, hyper-focused, or locked into a routine. It’s the new environments, unknown processes, or any kind of disruption that tends to trip the wire. I dont recall it being an issue in that sense.

That said, I definitely wanted to punch more people in the face than usual. Not proud, just honest.

Could have affected progesterone, also deca is far better in my honest opinion than primo and masteron.
When I use NPP I also get extremely agitated.
DECA is moreso used for pain in the joits as-it increases synovial fluid and is very good for any back knee hip injury combined with HGH.

We had some family portraits done last year when I was about 10 weeks into deca and I'm embarrassed they're on the wall now... absolute Bert Newton looking moon face

How big a dose did you take to get moon face?
