How long is a typical cycle of deca

[mrkmuscle]

Sorry, if this is already answered somewhere but I've heard conflicting answers. 12 weeks 14? 16? thanks for ANY info.

Deca is one of the harshest compounds on your hormone system. Shorter is better.

I read that the usual cycle should only be 8 weeks

Muscle-mastah is right in that Nandrolone is renowned for shutting the HPTA down harshly. But if you are going to use it more than a couple weeks anyway (for which I would recommend NPP - a short-ester nandrolone), you might as well stay on for a decent period of at least 8-10 weeks. Bear in mind that with its long half-life, it will still be at an effective concentration for a good week or so after your last shot... so I would plan that into the equation, keeping your other AAS going a little longer.

It seems that this forum is a little lacking in the expert department. I know a little about AASs but am by no means an expert. For them i refer you to the bodybuilding.com website.
Deca has a long ester, typical cycles last between 10 and 12 weeks. That said, deca should never be run alone, it should always be stacked with test as the base. Post cycle after deca make sure you run some HCG to bring back the HPTA and your balls.

Hey yur an ole man like me.
This the first cycle?
What's yur stats and workout history like?

Totally agree with Frankly.

I would recommend 8 weeks cycle stacked with a test based steroid, and would throw in some nolvadex to lessen side effects between week 3-8 and HGC as post cycle.

Think you need to do some serious reading up though, as you shouldn't be taking roids without knowing what you are doing.

Deca doesn't do a lot until the 3rd or 4th week due to the long ester.Deca doesn't have anything to do with test.Nandrolone causes muscle growth through positive nitrogen balance.I wouldn't run deca only.It works a lot better when stacked with test.
