To add to this, here is the breakdown in results of the study regarding weight gain from nandrolone versus testosterone.Here’s a video that might help u out. I watched it fairly recently. Think the 100mg of nandrolone group gained around the same amount of muscle as the 300mg of test group. So muscle gains on deca were clearly much better. Think deca lacked in the strength department, compared to test tho. I would imagine due to deca aromatizing extremely little into E2. I would imagine testosterone’s ability to aromatize much more than deca lead to the testosterone group having better strength gains. Just speculation tho. There might be other mechanisms that make testosterone better for strength
Did your joints remain healthy feeling after cessation?I’ve used deca @ 80-100 mg / wk for 10 week cycles twice already. Loved it. Joints healed and gained a little muscle Definitely a game changer.
Nice, have you noticed more testicular shrinkage or noticeable decreased semen production from nandrolone?Here’s how it played out for me-
I retained full joint relief for about 2 months after the first cycle, then a few of the more severe ones, in my case it was my knee and neck, came back but at a noticeable level of improvement. Many other injuries cleared up.
After the second cycle, my nagging knee pain is gone about 80 percent. This was amazing. I lived in pain for 10 years with chronic knee tendonitis and it’s pretty much cleared up, as is my chronic IT band pain and planar fasciitis.
Just started round three of deca last week.
Also of note was that my Creatinine levels, which had been elevated for years, came down after each cycle. A PA told me this was from the anti inflammatory effects of deca. Lipids were perfect (I am on a low dose statin - 5 mg Crestor keeps me at 135 total cholesterol and LDL around 65. On the deca, the ldl and total jumped 7-10 points but still puts me at near perfect levels so no issues there either.
None at all but I’m on TRT and take hCGNice, have you noticed more testicular shrinkage or noticeable decreased semen production from nandrolone?
Really great stuff. Very happy that this is working so well for you! Cheers.Here’s how it played out for me-

Lol who doesn’t want to put on more muscle?It's funny how most of those taking deca alongside test for TRT have a desire to pack on a bit more muscle; which leads me to the opinion that this is the main reason for administering.
Not that I'm knocking them for it, but it's true in most cases.

I'm 33, what kind of complications do you have on 50mg. I take 60 mg a weekTrue, especially when one is past 50 and gaining muscle and keeping the fat off is much more of an uphill battle. Deca did make me literally feel 20 years younger though I had too many complications with it even at 50mg per week. Though when I was a competative bodybuilder 25 years ago 400mg per week on a bulking phase I had no such problems. Even pushing over 125mg of test weekly I can't handle any more.
For years I was around 1.39-1.44 creatinine. I wasn’t overly concerned because I lift weights and I am 6'1 about 208 pounds -however it was significantly higher than what I am used to. After the first cycle deca it went down to 1.28 - my next labs three months off was 1.21 after my last cycle and then off for three months it was 1.16 so yes it definitely had a continued effect.@JimGainz what were your creatinine levels before and after. Do you think your creatinine levels will stay down even off the deca?
