Deca-Durabolin steroid has been used for cutting and for bulking. Athletes have stacked it with virtually every drug and reported positive results. It seems to be an excellent base drug on any cycle. Deca can be used by almost all athletes, with positive results and very few side effects. Deca durabolin has gained a reputation as being somewhat ofan alleviator of sore joints and tendons. Athletes report that sore shoulders, knees and/or elbows are somehow without pain on the Deca cycle. This drug dramatically improves nitrogen retention and recuperation time between workouts. Unfortunately, Deca has very stubborn metabolites which have been known to show up on a steroid test as long as 12 months after it was administered. This, in combination with the number of athletes using it, has contributed to its showing up on more steroid tests than any other compound. For this reason, any athlete that has the potential of being subjected to a steroid test should not be using Deca. For those whose worries do not include steroid testing, it remains the number one choice. The average dosage for men is in the area of 200-400 mg per week; for women 50-100 mg per week.
