the only real side efect(s) from deca that i ever hear about is

1. it can convert to progesterone, this can cause gyno. (you can avoid this easily)
2. it will show up on a drug test for it for a year.

it is considered the best steroid for obvious reasons. it is probably the only drug that can be used to bulk well without the usually side effects. its a great choice for a first cycle.

I think this is the most preferred starter. You usually make great gains and unless you're using a lot, which on your first cyle is really not necessary, you shouldn't have any gyno problems. Good luck!

do it need to be stacked for a 1st cycle?

It's one of the safer (less toxic) drugs, so it is very good. Some people complain of "Deca dick" or problems getting Mr. Johnson to show up for work, so that is why it is common to take a little Test along with it.

VERY POPULAR STACK!

Other than test, deca is probably my favorite AAS. It does give me extremely oily skin and bad acne though. Progesterone problems usually only happen at large doses, over 800mg per week. But that doesn't mean that any particular person can't have problems at lower doses, but its not very likely. Deca Dick sucks, but I don't get it from Deca. If you add a test, that problem is usualy nothing to worry about anyway. I have tendonitis extremely bad in my right arm, and deca really seems to do a lot for it. I don't have any pain at all when I am using it, or GH. So I am usually on one or the other, if not both. I use it for both bulking and cutting, although I get the best results from it when I am bulking. It is deffinatly not a good drug to use if you might ever be tested. I don't copmpete in tested events, so I don't worry about it. I do retain a little water when using it, so I always take arimadex or nolvadex with it, but its not neccesary if you don't care about water retention. Its great for a first cycle. 400mg Deca, 500mgs test and possibly some Dbol for 4 weeks to start out is a good, safe, first cycle. Be sure to have Anti Es on hand and clomid for post cycle. Good luck! Later
