everyone has to start some place. you can read all you want, but until you take that shot no one knows, more people have gotten gyno from Test than Deca. the things that everyone is scared of Deca is the Deca dick and it shuts you down hard. Deca dick isn't a guarantee and shutting you down harder than another AAS is hog wash. shutting down is shutting down. Test isn't going to go lightly on you, that's just crazy talk. I did my research, on paper Deca came out on top, so I went with Deca. if I had to do it all over again I would still choose Deca. back when I started there was no PCT and I didn't lose my gains. PCT is preached as a must. I'm not against everyone doing a PCT, but to say it is a must is wrong also.
