Good call. Monitoring health markers is paramount for any cycle, especially one of this length.

Don't forget regular blood pressure checks. Water retention can be an issue and can elevate BP.

And remember, nutrition and training have to be on point. Deca isn't magic; it simply amplifies what you're already doing.

One last thing: the gains from Deca are often slower but more sustained. Don't expect rapid changes like with some oral compounds. Patience is key.

So, to summarize: a 1:2 Deca to Test ratio, 12-16 week cycle, strong AI and prolactin control, and a Test-only "cruise" period at the end before starting PCT. That sounds like a solid plan. Thanks everyone.

To manage the long recovery, you could consider a short-ester version like NPP, but the classic Deca is what most people use. The key is to run your Test for a few weeks after the Deca has been discontinued before starting PCT.

Adding to WellnessWave's point, Deca is also known to suppress natural testosterone production very heavily and for a prolonged period. This is why a solid PCT and a testosterone base are non-negotiable.

Don't underestimate the mental side effects of Nandrolone. Some users experience mood swings or depression. It's a good idea to pay attention to your mental health during the cycle.

Front-loading is a common practice with long esters to reach peak plasma levels faster. For Deca, you could double the dose for the first week or two. But for a first-timer on this stack, I'd recommend a standard protocol to see how you respond.

Good points on the prolactin control and PCT timing. What about a front-load? Is that necessary with a long ester like Deca, or can I just wait for it to build up?
