1g Deca Only Experiment

Sadly, people ignore what I wrote and just jump to conclusions. So let's break it down barney style:

The plan was Deca only while at maintenance to see what would happen

I stopped going GH saying wasn't worth it.

I was offered free coaching from one of the members posting in this thread, curious to see what he could do with me. He said give him three months with him and I'd change. We addressed the fact it would be better if I were learner, but he said I'm just about at the max amount of fatness he would deal with. I agreed. But in order to do three months, I'd have to order more deca and shit, which I did and its on the way.

He said he highly recommended GH and gave me a source that was HALF the price I was getting at, thus making it "worth it" because now it was fucking cheap and I could blast 10ius if I wanted to. So I decided to add it back in for those reasons.

His diet plan led to me eating food amounts I've never eaten before. I rationalized to myself, "if I'm going to force myself to truly do this, why am I going to limit my gear?" I asked what else could I add that is not Test-based to continue the integrity of the experiment. Had I added Dbol or anything else, then certainly it would defeat the purpose, plus increase sides. He said Drol or Primo would work. Didn't have Primo on hand, but it's on the way. Several people here said go for Drol, so gave it a shot.

The GH and high carbs were raising my BG levels high as fuck, which lead to adding slin. I could have done metformin or other things, but again, if I'm going all in, why not do the right shit? Slin from Walmart is 24 dollars instead of waiting for shit to come from online and hoping it's not fake and all that.

Initially, we were doing 4500+ calories; was quite easy to do at first, but then I started having these "throw up" attacks at night. Told coach, we lowered the food. 4200, fine for a few days, then same issue. Decided this was too much food.

Drol was added it and seemed okay a first, but then noticed appetite was fucked a few days in. Figured I'd get used to it. I tried 100mg a few days ago, said fuck this shit. Yesterday was the final blow for the drol.

Mind you, I've been annoyingly sick with either stuffy noses or whatever else this entire fucking time. Ever since I got covid last year, I've been getting sick, but not enough to keep me out of gym; it's always some stupid thing. Yesterday I had nausea, headaches, and barely slept due to this shit going on.

This entire time Deca has been one gram; the absence of testosterone was the entire POINT of this experiment. You people bitching about 19 days of drol ruining this entire thing are retarded; GH and Slin, both of which cannot replace testosterone and operate on different pathways, also didn't fuck up this experiment. Regardless, this experiment has a DECA base, but 80% of the time was deca only.

So, yes things changed, and I even addressed that during this log. I made sure NOT to add Test or any test derivatives. I have 50mg Dbols on hand and won't add them.

So many of the changes were situational and had noting to do with my will power or integrity: Why would I not take the offer for free coaching? Why would I not maximize the gear usage while stuffing myself like a pig? If I'm going to go all in, I'm going to go all in. And I'm eating all whole foods, making it 100x harder to eat; I'm not downing junk food to fill in calories; I've literally been eating ground turkey, ground beef, steak, rice, mashed potatoes, and pasta.

But right now, I feel like absolute shit. Perhaps I am just sick, but this does not explain why I can't even sleep on my back at night. I gained about 22 lbs since I started this log. Yes, I've gained some fat for sure and water no doubt; these rapid gains are 100% from the drol and massive calories all at once. I was 223 when I began, and now I'm 245. If being this big is going to prevent me from sleeping, then it's not WORTH being this big for ME. When I was in Vegas with Nick Trigili, he had to sleep with a CPAP; if that's what it takes to be that big, then no thanks.

But that is why I said I will drop the drol, take a break from all the food/gym, rest and see how I feel Monday. Perhaps I have some kind of weird flu-like thing that will pass, and I'll be back to eating and training no issue. But if being this big has fucking made my throat/tongue or whatever an issue for sleep, whereas as being leaner does not, then I'm going to go fucking leaner for MY HEALTH.

What bothers me the most is, instead of discussing the issues I posted, or saying what coach said here, you motherfuckers are complaining and mocking.

Why the fuck should I spend another second talking to any of you? And who the fuck are you people to think I owe you shit? You think this log is for me? I made it to share with the community, using myself as a guinea pig, to see what deca alone would do. And guess what, all the broscience bullshit fear-mongering about deca is just that, bullshit. That's what this "train wreck" has proven. I've had several members DM me now willing to run deca only, as before they were SCARED to,. as if you'll DIE if you don't run test from day one. Worst case scenario, if deca only doesn't work, then add shit to it, simple. The only reason I added shit was due to the free coaching and situations that arose, otherwise I would have stuck to my Doucette "Maingain" shit and probably gained nothing, actually.

And 10 weeks aren't enough? Are you guys fucking retarded lol? Of course you are. Why not argue 12 weeks or 16 week not enough? Why not 30 weeks? You think it takes MONTHS for drugs to kick in? The SECOND you inject the drugs they start working; yes it takes time to reach peak concentrations, but doesn't take MONTHS to do so.

And what I find funny is that 99% of you won't even upload a picture of yourselves or your progress, let alone make a log and be transparent, sharing your ideas, flaws and all, because you have too big of an ego. I'm quite certain most of you are probably armchair warriors regurgitating bullshit from online to be part of a community to make yourselves feel special. I'm not. I don't give a shit about the Internet, nor do I care what people say on it. What I care about are the FACTS. This log was to STRICTLY to share information with people willing to listen and explore with me, doing this experiment TOGETHER, not get attacked a bunch of soy boy anons with their pussy ass complaints.

All I know is that now I don't need test to add muscle, and blasting 1 gram of deca has WAY LESS sides than blasting 1 gram of test. If I blasted 1 gram of test, I'd be way more bloated, super-high blood pressure, I'd have to take AIs and other shit (which have their own sides), I've be way more mentally unstable, and my sex drive would be on overkill. Compared that with 1 gram of deca, my sex drive is gone, but I can have sex when I want to; I am cool, calm, and collected (no it's not depressed me at all), if I was on test I'd be super irritable. How do I know? Because I've done 1250 Sust before and it was stupid.


All I ever wanted to do is share my experience with serious people, no matter how stupid or crazy the EXPERIEMENT may seen to some, because that's the POINT of running experiments and sharing things with a community. I see no reason to further post on this log and waste my time getting into arguments and having to defend myself to people I'll never meet in my life, who are clearly immature as fuck, even trolling like children.

No disrespect intended, but perhaps lowering the dose, getting your weight and bodyfat down by a lot, then bulking starting from sub-10% would alleviate many sides.

Bulking on any sort of compound without very being lean first seems to lead to awful sides. The lower your bodyweight, the more room for error you have, imo.
 
Imo how y feel has nothing to do with deca.
Myself when I'm deep into bulk I'm getting sick of food and drugs etc. It's normal everybody know this if you're big you know this feeling it isn't from deca.
Deca has its own mental side effects.
You made your point you bulked up with deca as a base and your cock was working fine. 10 weeks is enough.
Take a rest I do the same I bulk up I'm getting sick I take a rest and go for a recomp cut from there. When I'm rested I'm going again.
Also you didn't feel the joint lubrication probably cause of low estrogen.

I appreciate your expirament you made your point now take a rest. And go from there.
 
In all fairness to how people are responding, the title of this thread/log literally says “Deca Only” so yes people were expecting a Deca only cycle and we’re curious to see the results of your exponent.

I think you should get bloodwork first before you stop. Wouldn’t you want to know if this really is a success without Test? Especially if people are now DM’ing you saying they want to do the same thing. Maybe you feel like shit because your estrogen is way lower than you expected with a gram of Deca.

I know you said you thought a gram would be enough to convert to enough estrogen for you to feel good, but that’s an assumption and you really need bloodwork to know for sure. I convert that like crazy from testosterone but not from high Deca. You may be the same.
 
He said give him three months with him and I'd change. We addressed the fact it would be better if I were learner, but he said I'm just about at the max amount of fatness he would deal with.
So did you give him three months to see what he could do?


And when are you going to get lean?
 
I feel better today because I didn't eat much at all, but I've had headaches and this throat has been inflamed a bit. I feel that I'm just sick in general some how, perhaps I'm rundown. Whatever this shit was, started in my nasal cavity and has now moved down to my throat/tonsils area. I don't feel nauseous anymore since I dropped the Drol, so that's a good thing. I'm either gonna sell my drol to friend or just send it to coach. I'm certainly never using orals again; maybe var but even that I think its pointless.

The pic below is when I started blog vs this morning.

I didn't gain TOO Much fat, but I certainly lost definition. And the "fat" that I have, is not solid lard, its more giggly and watery. This can be expected with Drol, but also GH. You can see the size of my lats and legs, even a bit of arms, have increased. It's not like I bulked into an off-season Lee Priest.

So Drol is gone, and I wont' be adding anything else; it is back to Deca only, not counting the GH/slin of course. I have 20-grams worth of Deca coming in, just in case I wanted to go 1.5 grams, so we are talking MONTHS more of Deca only.

And Idk why people are insisting that I'm mentally fucked by Deca; I'm not. Remember, I'm a former USMC war vet with PTSD, yet I am cool, calm, and collected while on Deca, with zero irritability or aggressiveness. Put me on Test/Tren and you have a ticking time bomb. My last response is me telling everyone to stop fucking around on here; I'm aware I changed everything, but instead of bitching like women, we work together as a team. I am aware of my "flaws" and my stubborness, but also ability to do a 180 on things, being fickle and all that. It's one of the main reasons I agreed to coaching.

In regards to estrogen being too low, if that were true I wouldn't have any water retention nor would gain shit. Of course bloodwork would answer it all, but I'd have to make a doctors appointment, and I think my yearly check up may fall during this cycle anyway.

So what to do now? Coach is saying that we should do a recomp and then a cut after this, but I still want to grow my arms and calves, so I'm not sure both can be done at the same time. He is saying it can be done by doing high-calorie days on arm and calve days, while maintenance on others. I don't see how it wouldn't work, especially if I'm using slin to drive nutrients into those muscles on the high days.

In regards to gear on that, he suggested tren/deca/primo for the recomp, again test-less, which I wonder if that would reduce or even eliminate tren sides as it has for deca. So again, would be another experiment to see what happens that I'm willing to do.

and once you've absorbed it, you can PM me, and I'll walk you through how bad the bro-science about "19-nors," "DHT derivatives," actually is.

This shit drives me insane. I've spent so much time trying to convince people that

1) YK11 isn't a DHT derivative
2) it's technically a 19-nor
3) it doesn't fucking matter either way

that I don't think it's worth bothering because most people prefer to trust a shitty article from More Plates More Dates rather than think for a minute


Also, thank you for that article. Very helpful bits of info I wasn't familiar with already

First time yk11 has been mentioned in this thread lol

By the way i see it you have 40-50 pounds to loose !
The sooner you loose it the better!
Everything will work better with lower body fat you will feel better and actually see the muscle you build after that.
You might have estrogens from the deca thats why you hold water + your diet + you probably have a couple food allergies also.
It wont be easy you will need 2 cutts at least.
Trying to cut all the fat in in one go will burn you out.
Your insulin resistance must suck as in the before the bulk and after picture i dont see muscle growth only fat and water gain.
In my opinion you should cruise get healthy and adopt a heathy diet try to eliminate foods that might cause allergies get leaner till you balst again and cut the remaining fat off .
Stop woring about building or loosing muscle, your have enough on your frame for now and once visible if anything you will look bigger to others .
Think about it and make the right choice the sooner the better and once you are ready to bulk after the heavy cut your body will use the calories more efficiently and most will go to muscle and you will blow up while still keeping definition.
You will make it but its hard as is why complicate it with deca only and other ways that make it even harder?…

I'm gonna do what coach says to do.
 
I spoke to him today and he said we are going to recomp and then go into a cut. So bulking is over.

I will continue the 1gram of deca per week. I actually ran out as this is week 10, and I took my last shot today, which was less than 500mg somehow. I skipped thursday because I felt like crap, but my raws are on the way and should arrive by this week.

Also, I want to make an appointment and go see the doctor to check out this throat thing, and ask him to do blood work.

Thing is, coach wants me to stop blasting 10ius of GH, so I have only been doing 5ius as I'm resting for the last few days.

I guess the only way to replicate 10ius ED is to take an entire vial before my bloodwork? I want to see what 10ius of this shit does to my IGF-1 levels. 5ius ED gave me 371, so I'd assume 10 is double or nearly double?

As for the deca, I was under the impression it does not show up as Test, but I guess what everyone wants to really see are my lipids, e2 and the rest.

Usually when I do bloodwork I ask to include total and free T, thyroid, estrogen, and IGF1. on top of what usually comes with it.

So I think I should get my raws, take 1 gram again consistenly for a week, then draw bloods.

Now that I think about it, I've been on gear for literally a year straight:

I started last year with 200 cyp/200 tren e for 6 months. I took a month off then jumped on 480 cyp/ 660 primo july 26th, which lasted 4 months. A week or so after that I jumped into 1 gram of deca until now. Last time I drew bloods was during Cyp/Primo cycle, and everything actually fine, with only AST being 51, and Hemo 51%.

Check out this post on the use of the serum IGF-I test: The Serum IGF-I Test: Its purpose and its weaknesses, proper use, variation, average responses
 
This could explain when I took Somatozine (Mike Arnolds MK 677), I felt it 100% it was working, pumps and sweats, etc, yet my levels came back 111 lol. I emailed him and he said, that it is rare but I could be a non responder, but this may not be the case after all.

But I have certainly taken my IGF-1 tests a few times, and 5ius always puts me over 300.

I'm not sure what test people take when they get a two digit number as their response. I've seen guys say their GH gave them 27 or 30 and that's awesome, but it's not IGF-1 tests.

Please get a sensitive estrogen test for proper measurments
