Deca kick in?

[Prima]

When do deca start working? From the first injection or does it take a couple of day/weeks to build up in the system before it starts working?

Nandrolone's slow.

I mean it's in your system at day one but the true effects won't be felt till stable levels around week 4 or so in my experience

After a single injection, the drug starts to take effect in approximately 3 days. The maximum effect develops within 10 days and lasts for at least 3 weeks, after which it begins to gradually decrease.

That's good to know I assumed it was closer to 6 weeks from looking at steroid plotter.

Yeah 4-6 weeks to be stable

From someone who took both:

Deca 2-3 weeks.

NPP 2-3 days.

week 4 npp and i feel nothing besides more vascularity when training and higher bp

ive gained little weight maybe 2kg and i think ive lost a bit of fat, but i dont feel any improvements when working out, feels like a test e cycle

people use to say "yeah with nandrolone people WILL know you are on gear" i look pretty much the same tbh

350 now will up dose to 450 hoping it will actually do something and praying that my dick will work

in other words i dont feel like ive added another compound to test, 2-3 days has to be placebo effect (ive fallen for that)

One thing we tend to forget is that there is lag. We like to think that blood levels are indicative of active biological mechanical impact.

This isn’t true as sub physiological processes translating to muscle strength gain and mechanical/performance impact are not always parallel to blood levels. (Particularly when ramping or drawing down)

Anecdotal experience over 20 years is it can be “felt” second week but what we think of as it normalizing at peak “performance” is 4-6 weeks.

Edit: @Type-IIx Would love your take on this as I’m always looking to equate and validate or dissolve anecdotal experience with actual science and facts.
