opinions on strange suggestion

[chelsea]

I was talking to someone today who was telling me that a girl he trains takes one shot of Deca a month. It seems a little strange to me but he said that way there is no androgen build up and she has had no sides. This is a new one for me so what do you ladies think? Anyone heard of this? Chelsea

I wouldn't suggest it. I dont really see the theory behind administering Deca once a month. Sure, it might work for someone but thats not to say that it will work for you. Bottom line is that lets say she is doing 200mg/month of Deca, she would more then likely get even better results and less sides if she just did 50mg/wk because she would be keeping her blood levels more constant.

I cant remember what the dosage was he mentioned. Looking around the Internet I came across the medical uses of Deca and it is given IM injection once every 3 weeks for women being treated for osteoporosis. Possibly could be that the person who was telling me this was a DR at one time.

Some people use a low dose of deca for joint lubrication.

I didnt really get specific with my earlier post but for the purpose of bodybuilding, I believe taking Deca once a month is not an optimal choice. Like I said, whatever that monthly dosage is, if you just split that dosage up into weekly injections, the muscular benefits would be far superior.

Testosterone that is precsribed to males by a physician is to only be administered once ever two weeks. But for bodybuilding purposes, that would not be an optimal choice.

Administration for medical purposes is quite different then administration for bodybuilding purposes.

That explains why it sounded so strange to me and why the guy who I know that gets his test from the DR only takes it every other week. Learn something new everyday. Thanks Biggie.
