Is deca counter-productive to cutting?

[EmptyWallet]

Currently, I'm totally drug free, and have just finished alot of my rehab on my knee. I've been working out on food alone for the past few months, and I'm going to start cutting since I've gotten a some chub I don't like. Well, I had my knee surgery 6 months ago, so I don't think some deca in this cutting stint would be a bad idea. However from what I've seen, that might shut me down pretty bad and not lead to the results that I want. I havent decided whether to go with clen or NYC, or both , rotating two weeks of each, which is probably what I'm going to do. I'd run the deca for 10 weeks at 300mgs a week. Along with clen for two weeks, then NYC for two weeks, then clen for two weeks and so on. Would the deca be counter productive at all? Any benefits at that dosage? Let me add a little something to that as well, I'd be going straight into a bulking phase after this cutting stint, which would include some test. I believe that would ease up the recover (or lack there of) considerably. So when I ended the test a few months later, I'd be deca free for at least two months, and the clomid and recovery after the test woudl be a breeze, seeing as I ended the deca a long long time ago. Anyone get my drift? Good idea or no? I am for certain it will shut me down, however I'm curious about it. I suppose the only way to see what would happen is to try it. Winstrol is completely out of the question as I imagine it would make my knee feel horrible. Maybe further down the road. Any other opinions?

Deca is claimed to work best on high caloric diets, that + water retention would not make it my first choice, plus what about your test levels.

I'd rather do prop with or without fina. For the sake of your knee perhaps prop + deca is fine, I dont know the truth behind deca not working well on low calories or not. If your just using it for the water, go for it.

I actually think it works best on high protein diets, which you'd want when cutting to preserve muscle mass.

As for water retention......I'll never understand where that comes from.. Excess estrogen is what causes water retention, right?. Deca aromatizes at about 20% that of testosterone, therefore little conversion to estrogen, therefore little or no water retention.

I do agree that natural test levels will be non-existant though, and the addition of some test would be a great idea.

Hey NTO I don't know where deca bloat comes from either but I got it severe the first time I used it. my family almost didn't recognize me. I haven't got it since i have used it but it was bad.

Ive always used deca in every kind of cycle. It works best with high protein diets which is what you should be on while dieting. Use it just not in excess. 2 mg per every pound of lean skeletal mass. By the way prop is definately good ecspecially when taken with winstrol.
