I would strongly suggest against running Deca by itself. Its notorious for shutting down natural test harder than most other aa's, thus causing the dreaded "deca dick." In addition, most Deca users experience pronounced estrogen related sides including bloating and acne. Therefore, most of the gains will come from water weight making it difficult to keep and lock in gains. Overall, deca is a bad decision to run by itself, but if all this sounds fun to you, by all means enjoy
Well did you know the use of deca durabolin greatly increases your bodies production of prolactin. Which can give you a form of gyno, and leaky nipples. But hey don't listen to me, it personaly changes absolutly nothing in my life bud.
There are plenty of threads on deca on this forum. You will see I'm repeating what mannny others are saying. Anyway, I'm done.
Good luck
Let me tell u one thing straight bro the dose I recommended u is right for u as deca is a slow working steroids the results will come late but even in 8 weeks u will find the results.
People talk about the bloat is a BS u get bloat when u diet bad and that is the reason to bloating and don't worry about the gyno if u feel the nipples are puffy try using nolva but my experience says u will not find any problem if u diet right and as for test if u wanna add in u can but try using test prop not enth ( long ester based) or u will get more issue regarding gyno.
And there is no DECA DICK thing I have seen people on only deca for as along as 3 month but they are mostly power lifters or kabbadi players ..
Stay safe..
Your posts confuse me. Are you advocating to a 19 year old that he run a single vial of deca alone and not to worry since you've seen power lifters do okay with just deca? I would also like to know where you get this notion that water is what causes gynecomastia since it's been long proven via scientific methods and studies that it is caused by excess levels of estrogen in the bloodstream, most notably estradiol. Estrogen does cause water weight gain, but to say it's just the action of water bloat that causes this is asinine.
To the OP: Taking ANY AAS at 19 can cause several issues for you at your age as you are not done developing naturally. While deca isn't a highly aromatizing agent, it can and DOES convert to some estrogen which in turn can cause a premature closing of your growth plates and bring about a permanent change to your HPTA. What does this all mean to you? It means you could forever end up with a busted system for naturally creating your own testosterone in the future. Do you want to take the risk of being put on testosterone shots for the rest of your life because you feel you're done growing? Sure, you might get lucky and get away with it a few times, but either way - you're gambling with your body. Ask any gambler how the game is set up, they'll tell you that the house (your body) always wins over time.
Learn to eat right, toss out that old bottle of deca, spend time perfecting your lifts, and then come back when you're 23. You'll have a better base to build from and will have a much stronger frame to handle that added muscle. Read through all the posts here from guys that took the shortcuts, you'll see why we advise against cycles (especially crappy ones) at a young age.

The reason not adding test with deca is cuz of water retention that means high chances of developing GYNO get that in ur brain people, you will retain more water on Test/Anadrol-Deca cycle then on any other cycle note 8 weeks is the best way to go more then that is not needed sure its not needed.
And believe I have seen people grow even on 200 mg deca.
Man ur right m wrong
