The bottom line is you have to run everything with test if you want any kind of normal sex life, longterm I'm talking. All this Deca-Dick stuff is true, but I bet in every case the person wasn't running enough test to counterbalance the deca. Test is absolutely needed in all stacks to combat and keep the natural sex drive and function working, period, especially in long term cycles.
I've not really had deca dick. I haven't run a high dose ever but have gotten NPP up to 600mg/wk with no erection problems. Personally, I get zero difference in sex drive from 100mg/wk of Test C or 600mg/wk. All the test in the world aint going to give you your drive back if your prolactin levels (and other hormone levels) are all f*cked up. I have more drive on 150/wk test and 200/wk Tren E than on test alone.
Yeah, All I'm hearing these days even from guys who should know better is tren only cycles or deca cycles. I'm thinking WTF? Why not an anadrol only cycle? Its the same thing. You are shutting down your test and not putting it back.
A tren or deca only cycle is completely different than an anadrol only cycle. You can't run Anadrol for 20 weeks. And certainly not for 6 months. A 20 week deca only or tren only cycle ain't going to decrease LH and FSH levels any more than Test only at 100mg/wk. Not like putting test in a cycle is a magic bullet that will make you keep your gains either. A longer cycle will increase chances of keeping your gains. I've been on Test at 100wk (with a few blasts here and there) for over 5 years now and even at just 100/wk my LH levels were essentially zero.
When you're on TRT the whole game changes. Not saying abuse the shit out of your body type game changer, but perspective. When you aren't basing all your decisions on "being shut down" you make totally different (and if your smart, healthier) decisions. I wouldn't do a zero test cycle but I've been running Test 150mg/wk with 200mg Tren E for about 15 weeks and I absolutely can't gain fat no matter what I eat. Last night at work someone told me I eat like a garbage disposal. And I'm getting leaner and more vascular as the weeks go by. Added 600/wk of EQ abt 5 weeks ago. Very excited to see the slight added benefits from that while I continue the low dose test/tren for another 20 weeks.
I had a CMP last week and all my labs looked good. Kidney function, liver enzymes etc. Had therapeutic blood letting last week. Will get a CBC shortly and get lipids and PSA tested a couple months after I come off.
