Hey guys...still researching here but just want to clear some things up for my personal case.
Ive been training and competing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the past 5 years and weight trained on and off for the past 13 years. Most of my serious lifting days were in college and since I started training BJJ its been my only source of strength and conditioning as I usually train 2 hrs/day 5 to 6 times a week which leaves no time for weights.
Ill most likely be adding some crossfit 3Xweek to supplement my training for strength. If not that than Ill just start regular strength training with weights.
My purpose in adding AAS is mostly to help with my recovery from training, nagging injuries, strengthen my tendons and ligaments as much as humanly possible, remove pain in the joints and increase overall strength.
After having done some research Ive come up with either 3 cycles:
1. test e 300mg/wk 10-12wks
2. test e 200mg/wk & Deca 250mg/wk 10-12 wks.
3. test e 200mg/wk & EQ 300mg/wk 10-12 wks
The reason for these is the supposed therapeutic properties of DECA and EQ on the joints and ligaments which I need for my sport.
Ive read about the supposed reduction in collagen synthesis and joint pain brought on by TEST E and want to go with something that will help and not hinder.
As this would be my first cycle at conservative levels should I just stick to test or go with one of the other 2 cycles for my goals? Deca and EQ would seemingly definitely help me out with healing me up.
Are the joint problems caused by test overstated and should I not worry about them at that dose? Would TEST E help with the joints and ligaments at that dose?
would obviously be adding PCT and on cycle therapy but need more research on this.
Age: 31
height: 5'7"
Weight: 165 lbs
BF%: 15~
my diet will be about 1.25 g of protein per lb of weight consuming 2500-3000 calories daily eating around 4-5 times a day cleanly. With this amount of calories I dont see myself gaining that much weight as I plan on staying at 170lbs or below since I feel best at this weight.
Before I even consider jumping into the cycle I will most def train about 1.5 months to get in tip top shape and drop to about 12% bodyfat.
from my research my gut feeling tells me to go with the DECA/TEST cycle.
Any critiques or suggestions welcome.

what would you recommend for an athlete looking to protect the joints and such?
