Deca instead of test?

Please guys let me know why I should use test instead of deca. Everyone on the board raves about test and snigger at the thought of a deca cycle but I don't want to risk some of the sides from test. I may be genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness which is a big concern for me, I also get mild acne and I don't want to aggrevate it too much also I dont want to bulk up 20lb I would be happier with 10lb. So all in all wouldn't deca be a better choice for myself? I know deca will shut me down but isn't there another way of counteracting this than using test. I am going around in circles trying to decide on this cycle so help will be greatly appreciated.
 
For 2 main reasons:

1) Test is much stronger than deca, probably twice as strong mg. per mg. Better gains.

2) As you said, deca will shut down your natural production of test, which may result in loss of libido or depression. Injectable test replaces the natural test. Some people use proviron with deca to boost their libido. Personally, I would much rather use test.

I have the same issues as you do, but I have been on test for years. I think the side effects are exaggerated.

how about equipose guys? would this be better suited to my needs?

In my opinion, probably not. It has less of an effect on the libido, but the lessened effect comes with lessened potency. Eq by itself is a weak cycle.

Weak, yes. However, it's not bad for a newb that goes ape shit if any sides appear.
 
Trev is right... And if you only want to put on like 10lbs., maybe you shouldnt even take Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) to begin with... You dont wanna take just Deca unless the idea of sex totally sickens you (you'll be walkin around with a limp noodle man)
 
How about a low test only cycle of say 300 a week. Am I unlikely to see hair loss and acne at such a low dose?
 
Dude...if you just want to add a few pounds, not have any sides, don't want to mess with libidio...why don't you just eat more cals, lift harder and get some good sleep. It might take you a little bit longer but you will still see gains. Not sure why you want to try AAS?? Maybe just to say you are taking them?
 
I'm just trying to make the right choice in terms of effects/gains. It would take me years to gain ten pounds naturally i'm not genetically gifted. I'm just looking for a bit of a boost to put on 10 pounds or so.
 
Oh and I really don't look good bald, I don't have the right shaped head. There are quite a few bald men on my mothers family which means I am predisposed to male pattern baldness. I have been real lucky so far and don't want to push my luck too far. So what I am really trying to find out is whether or not there is any good alternative to doing test or whether I would just be better off doing a low dose test cycle.
 
Thanks guys. 300mg a week. I am doing a lot of my own research but I think it's even more valuable to learn from the guys who have first hand experience. So which test I am best to use in your opinions? does 8 weeks sound about right what should my post cycle therapy (pct) look like from this?
 
8 weeks if you run prop but if your doing test-e you wat 10-12 weeks. Look into a Anavar (var) only cycle stacked with cretine it may just be what your looking for and vary low sides, make sure you run like 3g a day trib if you dont add test.
 
I neglected to mention am 6 weeks into my first cycle which is 40mg ed of Anavar (var) stacked with creatine and it's going pretty well. Zero sides, good strength increase and more look harder but the gains aren't as much as I had hoped which is why I am looking at more of a mass cycle next time. Maybe I should just run the Anavar (var) again with 300mg test and see how that goes.

Slight oversight!
 
HAHA slight lol. Ok advice for Anavar (var) only start takeing superpump250, stacked with a kre-alkline and 1.5grams of trib 30min before your workout, and kre-alkline 30 min after workout as well. This stack worked great for me. And yes a low dose of 300mg test coupled with 50mg Anavar (var) ed would be a good combo that is also fairly easy on the system. Remember water water and more water lowers sides in all aas.
