[QUOTE="Bubbs, post: 210156, member: 18618"] For years I've been on 200mg test and 100md ND a week, split into multiple shots. The deca is because I have moderate osteoarthritis and have had multiple surgeries on my shoulders, hips and knees over the years and prefer not to ever take NSAIDS if possible As I'm turning 46 next year I feel this is a bit of a high total dose for long term health reasons, my HCT is always low 50s and even through my Cystatin C egfr is at 115 consistently, my creatinine is always terrible. I'm also concerned about long term cardiac damage from deca so a lower dose makes me happier I've cleaned up my diet and gone keto/paleo and added in hard 30 min cardio sessions 4-5 times a week after my weight training, as well as 1500mg niacin, coq10 and fish oil daily. I take lisinopril 10mg and HCTZ at 12.5mg ed along with with trt I've dropped to 150mg test a week and 75mg deca, I guess my question would be is this enough to hang onto the muscle I spent years building? At one point while abusing AAS I was 230lbs and 10% but these days I'm a soft 225lbs. Ideally I'd like to get down to a ripped 200ish if that's maintainable on a lower dose. I understand it's still 225mg total AAS a week but from what I understand the deca in low doses isn't especially anabolic Any thoughts appreciated [/QUOTE]
