Best way to stack DECA for bulking purposes

[tualzoi]

I'm really excited to try deca for the first time. I've done a couple cycles using anavar and testosterone but I've never truly done a bulking cycle. I was thinking of running it like this:
Testosterone 500mg a week
Deca 400mg a week
Should I add an oral to this?
My stats are as follows:
33 years old
5 ft 10
187 lb
My goal is to pack on about 10 to 20 lb.

300mgs test to start with 100mgs deca and get your bloods first.

Should I add an oral to this

I would add Proviron daily. That or an injectable DHT like Mast. Some struggle with libido on Nandrolone so both can help with that and/or mood.

I would lower the doses and as @Blshaw said, add proviron.
250mg/wk test
150mg/wk deca
50mg/day proviron
Make sure your training and diet are on point to grow and this will be a great cycle.
Please put up a log so we can help you better.

DECA is an excellent option but I would not use more than 400 mg a week. Somewhere between 200 and 400 mg is definitely the sweet spot and 300 mg is my favorite.

 

[JasonPriest]

Make sure you're using domestic supply. They have excellent DECA options. They also have NPP. NPP is a short ester version of Nandrolone. It will be in and out of your system quicker.

Here is how I run this stack:
- Testosterone 300 mg a week
- Deca 250 mg a week
- Proviron 25 mg a day

Deca is definitely the go if you want to bulk up but I wouldn't use D-bol with it. You'll get a lot of water retention instead. I would use some tbol instead.

Bros, I would play it a little different. I would do:
- Proviron 50 mg a day
- Deca 400 mg a week
- Testosterone or sustenone with it, 500 mg a week

are you using proviron? @Blshaw tell us more please

No prob. I use Proviron anytime I would run a 19-nor. On its own, it’s not really a muscle building compound. It’s a DHT that really seems to improve libido, and sometimes mood, to offset the affects of the 19-nor (Tren/Deca) and downstream DHN. I’ve also used it in low doses when my libido struggles on straight up TRT. It’s a non 17a-alkylated meaning less harsh on liver. It also lowers SHBG a bit so if you’re a high SHBG that could be a side benefit.

I’m new, to this specific forum so only @s.gentz knows my history a bit, but I don’t run gear often or in high doses anymore. In the past I may have run 200mg of Nandrolone and would just add 25mg daily of Proviron. Alternately I tried 100mg weekly of Tren Ace a couple time and ran the same Proviron dose. You could also try using Masteron for the same purposes. My main goal for the Proviron adjunct was libido/erections which I lose on the 19-nors and Proviron worked better than injectable DHTs such as Masteron…. For me anyway.

basically you have experience with gear but new to the EVO family @Blshaw welcome! happy to have you here in the EVO family!
have you see @s.gentz log? https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/s-gentz-2025-26-growth-phase-log-with-psl.106514/

Right now I am loving
Test
Deca
Tbol

Yeah, I still remember sending Western Union to China 20 years ago and hoping your package got through customs if it came at all, ha!

oldschool WU lol @Blshaw you starting a log soon?

 

[Blshaw]

oldschool WU lol @Blshaw you starting a log soon?

Yeah man, IP and random china WU. I did that for a couple years from 2002-2004 and completely stopped until about 2014 when I started TRT for secondary hypogonadism. I’m thinking about the log, but I honestly don’t enjoy writing about myself. So if I do one it prob will just be a weekly update. I like helping others dial in their TRT or cycles in the safe and most effective means possible. Nothing wrong of course with guys that want to YOLO and run big cycles as long as they do so with an understanding. I just hate it when new guys get bad info and run mismatched compounds or aggressive/high doses on their first go about. It’s usually a recipe for disaster.

I get that you are old school and not into journaling, but the log is not about ego or storytelling, it is about giving the EVO family hard data so advice stays sharp and safe, and we can be a part of your journey. @Blshaw
A simple weekly log with bodyweight, doses, main lifts, calories, and sides is enough, and it lets guys like you lead by example instead of guessing in the dark, especially for newer members watching.

Why is a Log Journal important?

• Doing a log will actually help you way more than just dropping random updates. When you lay it all out week by week you start to see patterns in your body that you won’t catch otherwise.
• Other guys here run logs all the time and there’s no privacy issue, nobody is asking for your name or anything personal, it is just training, diet, and how the compound feels.
• The feedback you get is also way better because people can follow along and spot things you might miss. It also helps the next guy who is thinking about running the same compound so you are giving back while you learn.
• Even if you think you might not stick with it, just starting the log makes it easier to come back and add quick notes. That way you get more out of what you are running instead of keeping it all in your head
