We have highlighted to most popular <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gghc.org\/decaduro-review\">legal Deca here<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&#8217;s an incredibly popular bodybuilding steroid, Deca Durabolin was not created for use in this way. It&#8217;s a medicinal drug intended to be used as a treatment for osteoporosis and to prevent bone loss and muscle wastage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any other drug, Deca Durabolin can cause a lot of nasty side effects and should never be used without a doctor&#8217;s supervision. Using it for bodybuilding purposes is steroid abuse. It&#8217;s also illegal and dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a molecular level, Deca Durabolin is almost identical to testosterone. The only difference is it lacks one carbon atom at the 19th position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This slight difference makes Deca Durabolin weaker than testosterone and reduces the chance of premature balding and certain other side effects. However, the steroid still has side effects including the infamous &#8220;Deca Dick&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This form of steroid-induced erectile dysfunction is no laughing matter. It can stick around for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Men who use the Deca Durabolin steroid sometimes end up waving goodbye to their sex life for up to a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, regardless of the risks its use presents and the fact that it has to be delivered via painful intramuscular injections, Deca Durabolin continues to be a popular bulking steroid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gghc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Deca-Durabolin-1.jpg\" alt=\"Deca Durabolin bodybuilding\" class=\"wp-image-907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gghc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Deca-Durabolin-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.gghc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Deca-Durabolin-1-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Short_Deca_Durabolin_History_Lesson\"><\/span><strong>A Short Deca Durabolin History Lesson<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all the other anabolic bodybuilding steroids, Deca Durabolin has been around for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Organon pharmaceutical company created its first esters of 19-nortestosterone (Nandrolone) during the 1950s and applied for a patent in January 1959. The license was granted in August 1961. [<a href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US2998423\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"SOURCE (opens in a new tab)\">SOURCE<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the fact that the steroid was so good at boosting muscle growth and enhancing physical performance, it was not long before its abilities were being abused by bodybuilders, powerlifters, and competitive athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, it was one of the first steroids used as a doping agent in sports. It&#8217;s been banned by the Olympics Committee since 1974. Nandrolone in all its forms is banned by most other sporting bodies as well. Yet many athletes continue to take the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, as recently as April 2017, Starling Marte from the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team was hit with an 80 game ban after tests revealed he&#8217;d been using the steroid. [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2017\/04\/18\/sports\/baseball\/starling-marte-pittsburgh-pirates-suspended-steroids.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"SOURCE (opens in a new tab)\">SOURCE<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Deca_Durabolin_Works\"><\/span><strong>How Deca Durabolin Works<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Two of the most important things Deca Durabolin does are increase nitrogen retention and support improved protein synthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protein synthesis is the all-important repair process that heals your muscles and makes them grow. However, healthy protein synthesis only occurs in a nitrogen-rich environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is, your muscles lose nitrogen during exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By boosting nitrogen retention and protein synthesis in the way that it does, the steroid makes sure your muscles have everything they need to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Deca Durabolin boosts red blood cell production. The red blood cells carry oxygen around the body. By increasing their numbers, the steroid improves oxygen flow to the muscles. This allows you to work out harder and longer. It also speeds up recovery times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s also one more additional benefit and it&#8217;s one that&#8217;s unique to this particular steroid\u2014it increases collagen synthesis. This provides extra strength to the tendons and ligaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In so doing, the steroid helps ease the joint and tendon pain that holds some people back during their workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gghc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/man-bodybuilder.jpg\" alt=\"Bodybuilder man\" class=\"wp-image-910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gghc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/man-bodybuilder.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.gghc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/man-bodybuilder-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gghc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/man-bodybuilder-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Deca_Durabolin\"><\/span><strong>How to Use Deca Durabolin<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deca Durabolin is a bulking steroid. It&#8217;s most useful for providing rapid increases in muscle size and strength. It has to be injected into the muscle tissue one time per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some bodybuilders recommend a dose of 600 mg per week and do a 12-week cycle. This dose is much too high and gives you a damn good chance of getting ED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dose of 300-400 mg per week works well for a lot of people. The lower dose also permits a longer cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, a better idea is to take 2 mg of the steroid for each pound of lean body weight, but that means doing some math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><u>Women who use this steroid don&#8217;t need nearly as much as men.<\/u> In general, they should be looking at a dose of 50 mg per week or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the best way approach with this steroid is not to use it at all. This isn&#8217;t the 60s. There are safer and better options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deca_Durabolin_Side_Effects\"><\/span><strong>Deca Durabolin Side Effects<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deca Durabolin has a reputation of being one of the milder anabolic steroids. That in no ways makes it a wise or safe option to use. It still has the potential to cause a lot of nasty side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from robbing men of their ability to get an erection, it can make women who use it develop very masculine traits. Increases in body hair and deepening of the voice are just two problems women may face. Deca Durabolin also causes some women to develop a clitoris that&#8217;s so swollen it resembles a miniature penis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other Deca Durabolin side effects include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Fluid retention<\/li><li>High blood pressure<\/li><li>Acne<\/li><li>Nausea<\/li><li>Itching<\/li><li>Undesirable changes in blood lipids<\/li><li>Abnormal liver function<\/li><li>Changes in liver anatomy and\/or tumors<\/li><li>Growth of man boobs<\/li><li>Abnormal blood tests<\/li><li>Heart problems<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Using this steroid also reduces normal testosterone production by around 70 percent. So if you think you can use it without doing a post cycle therapy you need to think again. Your body will need a lot of support until it can start producing sufficient testosterone again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deca_Durabolin_Pros_and_Cons\"><\/span>Deca Durabolin Pros and Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other anabolic steroids, Deca Durabolin has its good points and its bad ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>CONS<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Milder than other steroids<\/td><td>Illegal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Increases strength<\/td><td>Slower working than other steroids<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Improves muscle size<\/td><td>Results take up to 8 weeks<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Good for joint pain<\/td><td>Causes side effects<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Faster recovery after workouts<\/td><td>Competitions bans<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Strengthens the bones<\/td><td>Water retention<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Can ruin your sex life<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Requires post cycle therapy<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Has to be injected<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>Safer alternatives available<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Deca_Durabolin_Worth_the_Risk\"><\/span><strong>Is Deca Durabolin Worth the Risk?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&#8217;s milder than other steroids Deca Durabolin is still capable of causing side effects and the health is too precious a thing to risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the fact that it may damage your health, this slow-working steroid doesn&#8217;t even provide that much growth. Your only looking at gaining around 15lbs in muscle. And that&#8217;s after a 26-week cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, when you&#8217;ve finished your cycle you will need to spend several more weeks doing a PCT. If you don&#8217;t your normal testosterone production will be so low you&#8217;ll lose all the gains you made and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got a competition coming up? Deca Durabolin is going to give you problems there too. It can remain detectable for up to 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more reasons not to use Deca Durabolin than there are reasons that may make its use seem worthwhile. If you need something to help you bulk-up, it makes more sense to go with a safe and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gghc.org\/best-legal-steroids\">legal steroid alternative<\/a> instead.
