I could really use some help setting this up. I'm looking at running a stack with Test E and Deca - my current plan is to do 500 mg of the Test E per week along with 300 mg of Deca. I was also wondering if it makes more sense to throw some Proviron into the mix, or if I should go with Masteron instead?
For a bit of background, I'm 48 years old, 6 ft 1, and currently sitting at 178 lbs. My main goal with this cycle is to put on about 15 lbs of solid weight. Let me know what you guys think or if you'd tweak those dosages at all.
honestly at 48 you might want to reconsider 500mg of test along with deca. that’s a lot of fluid retention and blood pressure stress for someone our age. maybe drop the test to 300 and the deca to 200? you’ll still hit that 15lb goal easy if your kitchen game is on point.
deca and test is a classic bulk but man at 178lbs and 6'1 you're pretty lean. you definitely don't need 800mg of total gear to grow. i'd go with proviron over mast for this one. it keeps the libido up (deca dick is real lol) and helps with the "feel good" factor without drying out your joints like mast can do.
i’d go proviron for sure. masteron is usually for when you’re already shredded and want that grainy look but proviron is better for a general "well being" boost during a deca run. just keep an eye on your prolactin levels- deca can be a sneaky one with the side effects.
proviron is the way to go here. it’ll help with the free test and keep the deca sides at bay. just make sure you have an AI on hand because 500mg of test e is gonna aromatize like crazy at our age. cool to see someone still pushing it in their late 40s though keep it up!!
nice stack but definitely watch the scale. 15lbs is doable but deca holds a lot of water so dont be surprised if you "lose" 5lbs as soon as you come off. mast is great but at 178lbs you probably want the mass more than the hardening so proviron is the smarter add-on
500 test might be overkill if you're only trying to put on 15 lbs. you could probably do that on 300 test and 200 deca and feel way better day-to-day. the older i get the more i realize "less is more" especially with the heart and prostate stuff. stay safe man!
500 test and 300 deca is a solid bread and butter stack man. honestly at 178lbs you’re gonna blow up if your food is on point. i'd go with proviron over mast for this one- it keeps the libido up and helps with the "deca dick" if that starts happening lol.
welcome to the world of deca lol. just a heads up it stays in your system forever so be ready for a long recovery or just cruise after. 15lbs is totally doable on those doses- just eat everything in sight!
at 48 i’d definitely lean towards proviron. masteron is cool but usually better when you're already shredded and want that grainy look. proviron is better for the "feel good" factor during a bulk- 50mg a day is usually the sweet spot.
honestly bro at 6'1 and 178 you got plenty of room to grow. the 500 test might be a bit high for a first time with deca? maybe try 300/300 and see how the sides are? either way youll definitely hit that 15lb goal no problem.
deca is the goat for joint pain but man it can make u a bit soft looking. throw in the proviron for sure- it helps dry things out a bit and keeps the mental side of things sharp. good luck with the gains!
15 lbs? dude with that stack and your height you might even put on 20 if ur training is intense. just make sure u have an ai on hand just in case cuz 500 test can aromatize like crazy- keep us posted on the progress!
