Thank you for the A to my Q, Nick!

[@NicholasDowney]

Anytime!

[@riggs9688]

Been using deca for 4yrs straight with TRT. 200mgs weekly and labs stayed the same but I look and feel better on it. Nandrolone is the 2nd most studied anabolic steroid. Biggest thing I’ve noticed is no more back, shoulder or knee pains.

[@ultimateformulations]

Is that 200 mgs total (test and deca)? And, have you had any increased anxiety or aggression at all? I tried a 50/50 split and I didn't react well to it, I was pretty aggressive. But, I'm genetically predisposed to high adrenaline response. I have a theory that it might be a lack of methylation- causing a build up of noradrenaline.

[@ClickClack_Bam]

I'm on Deca right now. I love Deca. It's my favorite compound. Mainly because of it's joint properties. I have old MMA injuries that Deca has fixed right up. If I come off Deca I lose this feeling for the most part, but it HAS permanently fixed a percent of my injuries.

[@13Ambro]

Same with me. . I started off doing two months on and two months off but finally just pretty much stayed on all the time due to the joint benefits. I don’t have any negative effects on blood work. My blood pressure did come up when I was using it along with my TRT so I had to go on a losartan which fixed it, but that’s a small price to pay for feeling and looking great.

Deca 300mg a week raises my resting Heart rate from 67 to 79. Also makes me look fat

If you have shoulder acne, it’s most likely high estrogen. Also simply using topical benzoyl peroxide will stop it.

[@NicholasDowney]

My thought process behind it is bacterial colonization because of excess sebum. I've used chlorhexidine washes with good results but peroxide essentially achieves the same thing

[@bryanutility9609]

@@NicholasDowney yes shower wash and & spot treatment work. People says it’s dht, but I have had major acne after too much test took an AI and flare up went away. Once weekly tiny AI dose keeps it at bay. Think it’s E2 just like my wife during period or whatever.

Cruising on 250-300 Nandrolone... BP just now: 112/70

[@NicholasDowney]

Just nandrolone? Any oestrogen base?

[@MarkKislich]

@@NicholasDowney nosir, seems quite unnecessary. Just recently had blood 5est which read just above minimum. Also allegedly it's in the perfect balance which seems most important. Everything works absolutely perfectly, if you know what I mean

[@MetalheadAndNerd]

3:57: I support your observation but I believe that the reason is another one. These herbal remedies are deeply rooted in the culture of the related country. There surely is a bias but it is not "let's support the fast Ali (the name would get my comment deleted)" but "it must work because my family has used it for 10 generations".

[@harryjohnson370]

Does anybody see a rise in prolactin and progesterone on deca?? Or is that bro science from the bodybuilding boards

[@NicholasDowney]

They don’t really raise it per say, itself stimulates the progestin receptor

[@MarkKislich]

It seems that Nandro Only NEVER results in ED

[@NicholasDowney]

Interesting, would support that whole oestrogen hypothesis

[@MarkKislich]

@@NicholasDowney howdy Sir, in my personal experience it definitely didn't impact function and I have a feeling that goes for everybody or at least the vast majority. The problems only arise when testosterone is part of the mix and the ratio is out of whack. There is Taeian Clark, perhaps the foremost proponent on Nandro Only, he is well read and experienced. Perhaps you two should do a colab one day! 😁

Your ‘conspiracy theory’ sounds like a reasonable rational point in my view. I have been suckered in to ‘ultimate secret supplements’ over the years…always looking for an edge 😂

[@NicholasDowney]

It’s a massive industry, I mean, I’m sure those who sold Turkesterone to supplement companies in the US and Canada made a killing

[@dlloydy5356]

@@NicholasDowney no doubt. I’m old enough to remember & spent my first pay cheque (or maybe Christmas money?) on a Cybergenix I think it was called range. 😂 it was about 10 products you used together with a training programme that would probably kill off a silverback gorilla. Endorsed by pro bodybuilders of the day that used it. Yeah sure! 😂 it did nothing apart from make me poorer financially

[@zammonster6413]

Nandrolone doesn't affect my heart rate or blood pressure. Heart rate stays at ~55bpm with normal blood pressure. 0 mental or sexual sides. Infact adding 300mg Deca to my TRT cures my facial acne completely. 500mg TestE on the other hand increases my blood pressure and BPM by +15 cause it overstimulates my CNS. Interesting take on Bezold-Jarisch reflex, learned something new. Thanks.

[@NicholasDowney]

Very interesting, perhaps the stigma around Deca causes it to be disregarded as a possible addition to TRT. I guess the best thing to do would be regularly health check ups and making sure they are comprehensive given the dearth in long term literature. Wish there was more about this interesting addition

No worries! I’m sure you knew the answer but would be interesting if someone had other opinions

Guys how is sex life & motivation on nandrolone only ?

[@Staphylin]

I see no point in adding Deca to your TRT; it will only harm your heart, hematocrit, and cholesterol levels in the long term. If the goal is to build muscle and strength, it's not the best solution. 300 mg is not a small dose at all. That with test is about 4-5 times the natural AAS levels. A smarter approach would be to blast for 8-15 weeks to shock the receptors and build as much muscle as possible, then return to TRT, retaining 80% of the gained muscles and focus on recovering your health. Lowering LDL is easy with statins or red yeast rice, but raising HDL is extremely challenging. Your heart need to recover its health and return to normal state, deca all the time will kill it

[@shockmaster1929]

Doctor, please tell us about the “toxicity” of deca to the testicles. Other than a more potent shutdown of the HPTA axis ; please explain how deca is “toxic” to the testicles? How does it harm the testicles besides shutting them down? Also please post some study to back up your answer l.

[@NicholasDowney]

Sure will make a video on compounds demonstrated to cause sertoli and leydig cell damage. It’s very low quality evidence like with most studies on AAS
