First Deca cycle help please

[thejeepguy]

200mg a wk is where I started. Takes a long time to kick in. I was taking more towards the end. I made a great gains on deca but it had serious sides. I lost a lot of it after I stopped even with running high test and working out 6 days a wk. Completely changed the way I think. Severe Depression and paranoia started believing things that weren't real. Then chest pain and serious motivation problems took forever to get out of my system. My blood levels are above average high red blood cells . I won't touch it anymore. Can't stress the importance of blood work. I would run 500mg test cyp slowly step it up and go from there. At least with test you can drop it down and the sides usually come down relatively fast. Deca took forever. I'm told npp stays in you system for a shorter period. If deca works for you it's an excellent compound if it doesn't it can fuck your life up.

I'm pretty interested about updates on your first cycle. I'm currently planning on going on 500mg Test for 16 weeks. Maybe even 20. Not trying to diminish your progress but I'm curious how you "only" gained 7 pounds in 16 weeks. That's not even half a pound per week, even when completly natty it seems like very little weight gain over 16 weeks. Were you cutting ?

I wasn't purposely cutting but I guess I underestimated how much more food I had to eat. My friends and family definitely noticed I looked bigger but the scale didn't reflect it. Now everyone's got me paranoid that I bought fake gear.

I'd rather overeat than undereat. Just go ham with it

We all find out over the course of years using, what suits us and what doesn't. Me personally, I can't even look at a vial of nandrolone. Instant ED, instant depression. But it doesn't matter because I can use other things that suit me, that others often can't. It's all person dependant, and you're so early on in the journey.

All I'll say is this: if it turns out a compound doesn't work for you, just sack it off. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme and it's not like you'll never become big as a result. You find what's tolerable, and run it at moderate doses for moderate time frames. But don't jump in trying everything at once.

What compounds do you like?
