Playing sports at a professional level is simply impossible without taking special medications, the action of which is aimed at increasing a person’s physical capabilities. One of the best is Nandrolone Decanoate (reviews of the drug will be discussed at the end of the article). Despite the fact that it was invented back in the mid-50s of the last century, the anabolic steroid still remains relevant.

general information

Nandrolone Decanoate, reviews of the drug in most cases are positive, is a representative of a group of steroids whose action is aimed at stimulating anabolic processes in the body. The drug is produced in the form of an oily solution and white tablets intended for injections. The components do not dissolve in substances and do not react with them. The molecular weight is 274 grams per mole.

Compared to other similar drugs, for example, a steroid called Testosterone Enanthate, Nandrolone Decanoate has a higher cumulative effect, resulting in a better enhancement of a person’s physical and psychological capabilities. In the body, the substance is produced naturally from the male sex hormone.

“Nandrolone”, reviews of the drug confirm its high effectiveness, is among those banned by the International Olympic Games Association. The maximum permissible level of its content in urine is 2 ng/ml.

A course of nandrolone with other steroids

And so, despite the unique structural differences of the drug, which give it the ability to retain the necessary substances in the tissues longer and longer and remain in a more active phase, they do not make nandrolone a self-sufficient drug, and the individual characteristics of each of us can further contribute to a decrease in the anabolic effect and increasing the chance of developing side effects. Therefore, to take a course with nandrolone, you will need to draw up a suitable course that will take into account the individual characteristics of the user.

Nandrolone combines flawlessly with all steroids. But it’s not enough to create a course to complete it without popping up problems. The more complex and longer the course, the more body control and common sense are required when using dosages of each substance. People with experience use all kinds of combinations, which, in addition to the standard composition, include: trenbolone, insulin, growth hormone and a lot of other substances. And don’t be fooled by horror stories about the incompatibility of progestin drugs - everything is compatible and goes together very successfully. The incompatibility of the brain with the necessary knowledge to control more complex courses is a problem, and not courses that contain both nandrolone and trenbolone. So, if you are your own specialist and work through schemes from the Internet, use simpler courses and do not use trenbolone with nandrolone.

Important! If you do not have the proper knowledge and experience, do not use complicated courses and do not create “super courses” in your own name. If you have no complaints or health problems, you can start getting acquainted with nandrolone in combination with testosterone, you can also add any tablet drug here for 6-8 weeks. It is better to start dating with short esters of nandrolone and testosterone at the same time, and not with long ones. Long esters (enanthate, cypionate, sustanon, decanoate) should be approached after successful experience with short ones (propionate, phenylpropionate).

Let's take a course to get acquainted with nandrolone as an example.

One of the classic combinations is the following course:

• 1-8 weeks: Testosterone Propioant 100 mg daily (30 ml of substance);
• 1-8 weeks: Nandrolone phenylpropionate 100 mg daily (30 ml of substance);
• 1-8 weeks: Stanozolol 4 t/day (220 tablets);
• Anastrozole can be started at 0.5 mg hourly (a supply of 40 tablets);
• Cabergoline 0.25 twice a month (supply 4 tablets);
• Cardiomagnyl 75 mg/day;
• !!! taking Anastrozole and Cabergoline is not recommended. The dosage and frequency of administration are taken based on an average example (my statistics). Everything needs to be accepted and adjusted according to analysis;
• * Analyzes once a month: Oak, Biochemistry. Estradiol and Prolactin - watch twice a month. Keep hormones within average limits, selecting the dosage of medications and timing of administration. Read more in the topics about Anastrozole and Cabergoline;
• HCG (Gonadotropin) should be administered according to my scheme No. 1, instructions here: https://trener-z.info/uslugi/gonadotropin-na-kurse-steroidov-skhemia-hgch.html

!Remember! All schemes are a technique with probability, not accuracy. Without analysis and control, you take risks and play roulette.

In the future, the length of the course should be extended to 12 weeks and in the future switch to a course of 4-5 months using long ethers.

When switching to nandrolone decanoate, you need to use +/- testosterone (cypionate, enanthate) that is equal in its prolonged action. In this case, the course length extends to 15-20 weeks. For example: Testosterone Cypionate 500-600 mg/week. + Nandrolone Decanoate 300 mg/week. It is better to do injections twice a week and 1+1. At the same time, testosterone should be administered 2 weeks longer than nandrolone, since the decanoate ester leaves the body 2 weeks longer than the others.

In both cases it is necessary to undergo PCT. After short broadcasts, therapy begins 6-7 days later, and after long ones a month later and, to be sure, 5-6 weeks after the last injection. It is very advisable to monitor the therapy by analysis, since the response of Leedig cells will be different for everyone and the schemes may not be suitable at all, since the response may turn out to be too good or extremely bad, which in turn is negative. The preferred drug for PCT would be Clomiphene citrate, and Tamoxifen after a course with nandrolone is extremely undesirable. If you want to take a pkt course according to the schemes, see the schemes from me on the website: https://trener-z.info/skhemi-pkt/klomid-skhemia-pkt.html

Mechanism of action

“Nandrolone Decanoate Enanthate” has antianemic, anabolic, androgenic, and antitumor effects on the body. Once in the blood, the drug reacts with cellular receptors, forming a connection between them. Next, the components of the drug enter the cytoplasm, activating diffusion processes that facilitate their penetration into the cell nucleus.

The active substance helps stimulate the functioning of receptor genes and the production of deoxyribonucleic and ribonucleic acids. As a result, tissues begin to receive more oxygen, and metabolic processes in them also increase. This, in turn, helps burn fat deposits and accelerate muscle gain. Gradually, the body accumulates a reserve of explosive energy and nucleic acid, which are the most important components in the growth of the male reproductive organ and the normalization of its functioning.

About a week after taking Nandrolone Decanoate (reviews about the product are much more often positive than negative), a person begins to notice an anabolic effect. The reparative regeneration of the skin, bone skeleton and muscle tissue improves, and amino acids are removed from the small intestine. Moreover, this effect is enhanced by eating foods rich in protein.

The body begins to actively produce hematopoietin and anabolic processes in the brain are activated. And by combining the drug with medications that contain large amounts of iron, you can achieve a good antianemic effect.

But here it is important to take into account the fact that when using the drug for medicinal purposes, a malfunction occurs in the soft tissues of the liver, as a result of which the production of vitamin K-dependent factors responsible for blood clotting is disrupted. And lipid metabolism is also disrupted, leading to swelling of the kidneys and impaired excretion of waste products from the body.

After intramuscular administration of the drug Nandrolone Decanoate, the effect will be noticeable quickly. The optimal dosage of the product is 100 ml. The highest concentration of active components in the blood plasma is observed after 1–2 weeks. At the same time, the digestibility of the oily substance is much better than the product produced in tablet form. The liver is responsible for processing the drug, in which the active components are converted into ketosteroids. Complete removal from the body takes three weeks.

Today, the drug Testosterone Decanoate has been taken off the market, but it is included in other steroids. As a rule, this remedy is used in bodybuilding, and also in replacement therapy.

Dosage and regimen

The highest results are observed when used per kg. weight 4 ml. drug per week. However, if the total dose is less than 200 mg. / week, then the result after taking it will be weakly expressed.

That is why the most optimal dosage is considered to be in the range of 200-400 mg.

To achieve faster results, many increase the dose to almost 1,500 mg. / week, however, the increased dosage already at the border of 600 mg / week stops giving results. Beginners should generally limit themselves to a dosage of 200 mg. and gradually increase to 400 mg. / week.

Due to the long half-life of 7-10 days, it is recommended to give 1 injection per week, but to maintain a high concentration of the drug in the blood, it is worth giving an injection every 4 days, as indicated in the table:

The above information is relevant if the course is taken on a “solo” basis, i.e. He is the only one and no one else. It is convenient to use alone due to the fact that the drug itself gradually begins to act.

The first results of taking it can already be seen towards the end of 2 weeks of use. Therefore, the drug is effective when used alone or in combination with testosterone propionate at the very beginning of the cycle.

Indications for use

Nandrolone Decanoate, reviews of which from doctors confirm the complete safety of the drug, has a wide range of applications.

It is prescribed in the following cases:

• complex forms of diabetes mellitus;
• various infectious pathologies that have developed into a chronic form;
• rehabilitation after severe injuries and surgery;
• severe decrease in muscle mass and tone;
• Werdnig-Hoffmann amyotrophy;
• metastases of a malignant tumor;
• maintaining the body during long-term use of medications containing heavy salts;
• muscular dystrophy occurring in acute form;
• disruption of the electrophysiological process;
• postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis;
• various kidney pathologies;
• fibrosis and myeloid aplasia of the bone marrow;
• myelosclerosis;
• deficiency of pituitary growth hormone;
• breast cancer in women.

Today, a course of steroids (“Nandrolone Decanoate” or “Testosterone Enanthate” - one to choose from) is taken by professional athletes who constantly subject their bodies to grueling training. The drugs stimulate the growth of muscle tissue and increase physical capabilities. And the medicine also promotes the production of joint secretions, which strengthens ligaments and bones, thereby reducing the likelihood of injury.

Contraindications

An anabolic steroid has certain side effects and limitations, so not all people can use it. The use of Nandrolone Decanoate is unacceptable if there is an individual intolerance to any of the components included in its composition. In addition, a person who has true or false hypertrophy of any internal organs, a malignant tumor of the prostate or mammary gland should be very careful.

Doctors advise representatives of the fair sex to refrain from taking it during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as well as girls suffering from high concentrations of calcium in the blood and breast carcinoma. The drug is also contraindicated in the case of atherosclerosis occurring in acute form, renal and liver failure. It is strictly forbidden to combine the course of therapy with the consumption of any alcoholic beverages, as this can lead to very serious consequences.

Deca-dik – the whole truth and where the concept came from!

The term “Deca-dik” itself arose due to the special structural differences between nandrolone and other steroids, but the drug gained negative popularity during the times of collective farm use of steroids, when there was a shortage of steroids, but nandrolone itself was quite readily available, which was widely used by everyone without any or concepts and knowledge of how the hormonal system behaves when using anabolic steroids. Therefore, a stereotype arose based on illiteracy, where Nandrolone and Deca-dik allegedly became an integral part. Time has passed, but the collective farm methods still remain, as well as the stereotype itself, which is used to scare future users of nandrolone.

Now let’s sort everything out, what is hidden behind the term: “Deca-Dick”?!

To put it simply, a decrease in the concentration of testosterone in the blood and at the same time a low level of DHT rising in the tissues to a critical level leads to an inevitable drop in libido, which at one time received the nickname “Deca-dick”. In truth, there will be a drop in libido on any course of steroids without the use of testosterone, but in the case of using nandrolone, the likelihood of a drop in libido increases due to its structural features.

But we all understand that when you are a normal guy and even while on the course, then in fairness there is a healthy desire to fuck 24/7, but when there is a lack of testosterone in the blood and plus an increased number of DGN versus a low level of DHT - you remain in side together with your penis and with your ambitions in thoughts that life is crap and all this is the effect of bad nandrolone! Therefore, the use of testosterone with a course of nandrolone is an integral part, since testosterone is converted into DHT, which means that when it is included in the course, the level of dihydrotestosterone in the tissues will be maintained at the proper level due to the correction of the dosage of the drug.

Therefore, in most cases it is enough to add testosterone to the nandrolone course to avoid the possibility of a drop in libido, and in the vast majority of cases this will be enough.

But, nevertheless, there are many nuances and it happens that the use of nandrolone with testosterone is not enough. In this case, it is best to seek specialized help. Nandrolone is not quite simple and there are a lot of features in its effect on the hormonal system, which will be multidirectional among users with the same weight, when using the same dosage of the drug from the same manufacturer, for example. And the reasons here are both in the level of 5-alpha reductase, and in many other genetic differences among users, as well as in the general structural features of each hormonal and nervous system.

And now let it finally become clear! - What is Deka-dick and what is not Deka-dick!?

The peculiarity of the connection of nandrolone to the drop in libido, which was given the name: “Deca-dick”, is precisely the reasons for the lack of production of neurosteroids from DHT, insufficient stimulation of androgen receptors of the penis and androgen receptors of the brain. In other cases, when libido decreases due to other hormonal changes, from overwork or due to stress and lack of a dopaminergic response, this is no longer “Deca-dick” and happens during every course of steroids, as well as in everyday life!

Below are additional reasons that may result from a drop in libido and are not related to Deca-dick:

• lack of testosterone concentration in the blood;
• physiological overwork (lack of sleep, overtraining and other fatigue) and emotional (stress, aggression, poor sleep), which serves as a driver for the growth of progesterone and prolactin;
• low or high estrogen levels;
• lack of daily allowance of fats and other minerals (poor nutrition or calorie deficit).

Here comes the truth!

So, in the case of Deca-Dick, it turns out that the penis requires androgenic stimulation, which alone cannot be obtained by using nandrolone alone, so there is a need to use testosterone and DHT derivatives to neutralize the side effect associated with libido. During this relationship, a balance occurs between dihydronandrolone and dihydrotestosterone in cells due to the conversion of DHT from testosterone, which individually should be higher than DHT from nandrolone.

But there is always this big “BUT”. An increased level of DHT does not benefit everyone, but ambitions in development are still present, and you don’t want to lose your libido. In such cases, a suitable method of using nandrolone is needed to bypass the loss of lido and not lose the anabolic effect without even resorting to testosterone itself and the use of DHT derivatives. Such methods exist, but in such cases you need to analyze the situation individually.

Side effects

If you decide to start taking Nandrolone Decanoate, the instructions must first be carefully studied. In large dosages, the drug can cause various side effects. The most common negative consequences are:

• anemia;
• impaired hemoglobin production;
• atherosclerosis;
• swelling;
• nausea;
• gagging;
• Gospel disease;
• severe pain in the abdominal area;
• blood clotting disorder;
• lymphoblastic leukemia;
• migraine;
• disturbance in the functioning of the respiratory system;
• change in color of potassium masses;
• blood impurities in urine;
• clouding of consciousness;
• hallucinations;
• liver cancer;
• hepatic purpura;
• disruption of the spermatogenesis process;
• yellowing of the skin.

In girls, taking the drug can significantly increase pain during the menstrual cycle or lead to its delay, accelerate hair growth, and also cause hypercalcemia.

It is worth noting that in men, side effects occur much less frequently, and their intensity depends on the age category. During puberty, the growth of the penis is activated, signs of an allergic reaction on the skin may appear, an erection is accompanied by severe pain, the growth of the bone skeleton slows down or, conversely, accelerates. “Nandrolone” (reviews from real people will be presented below) can provoke an increased urge to urinate and increase the size of the mammary gland.

Combined courses[edit | edit code]

Given the rather weak anabolic effect of methenolone (its ability to increase weight is slightly less than nandrolone), it is often combined with other drugs. Primobolan is best combined with:

• Nandrolone - for gaining muscle mass (one of the safest cycles, with good mass retention)
• Testosterones - for gaining muscle mass
• Anadrol - for gaining muscle mass
• Methandrostenolone - for gaining muscle mass
• Winstrol - for drying

Do not include more than one drug in a combination course. Use both steroids at half the doses (recommended) - this will reduce the frequency of side effects of each drug and increase the effectiveness of the course.

Mode of application

The drug in the form of injections is administered intramuscularly in a dosage established by a specialized specialist. Depending on the disease and the expected effect, Nandrolone Decanoate can be combined with various other medications that contain iron. The average dose for men is 100–200 milligrams. The injection is given once a week, and the duration of the course of therapy is selected by the doctor individually for each patient. For women, the dosage is half as much.

When using the drug as an anabolic steroid, injections are administered at intervals of 1–4 weeks. Treatment is usually carried out over three months. To minimize the likelihood of side effects and various complications, patients should strictly adhere to a protein diet.

Side effects of nandrolone

The absence of methyl group 19, although it gives nandrolone a number of its advantages, however, such a structure of the steroid does not make it without additional disadvantages.

In addition to the fact that the use of nandrolone produces similar hormonal changes as with the use of any other anabolic steroid, plus, nandrolone has its own unique features that are unique to it and have their effect selectively depending on the genetic characteristics and gender differences of the users. That is why, when using nandrolone, test results for some hormones differ, both among representatives of the same sex and between men and women there will be significant differences in some health indicators and the manifestation of possible side effects.

Due to its structural differences from testosterone, nandrolone, under the influence of 5-alpha reductase, is converted not into dehydrotestosterone, but into a weaker androgen - dihydronandrolone, which in turn displaces DHT from the tissues (since another androgen comes in their place). Because DHT antagonizes estrogen in androgenic tissues and other sites such as breast tissue, its reduction by displacement by dihydronandrolone results in symptoms of gynecomastia even when estrogen and prolactin levels are normal. Therefore, it is imperative to combine nandrolone with a course of testosterone in order to reduce the likelihood of side effects and at the same time enhance the overall result.

Nandrolone, although not subject to significant aromatase action, is still slightly aromatized due to a sufficient release of E1, which is partially converted into E2 (estradiol) naturally. And the combination of testosterone with nandrolone in turn causes a certain induction = 3b HSD subtype 1, which promotes the conversion of E1 to E2 and thus it turns out that testosterone synergistically increases the estrogenic activity of nandrolone. This, in turn, is worth taking into account and monitoring the level of Estradiol in the blood, which can further increase during a course with nandrolone up to 20% of current values.

Nandrolone has 1/20 the affinity of progesterone, so it acts as an antagonist in most cases. This ability can further provoke its rapid growth and stimulate the symptoms of gynecomastia. Such a driver of progestin growth can occur in case of non-compliance with the simple rules of training and rest, where, in addition to the progestin stimulus from nandrolone, there is also a natural increase in progestin activity against the background of overtraining, poor rest, lack of sleep and nervousness (stress, anxiety, etc. .). Insufficient rest, general fatigue and constant stress will enhance the overall negative effect and, in addition, lead to an additional increase in Prolactin, which actively grows due to general fatigue of the body and stress as well. Therefore, people with poor resistance to stress and the presence of passive fatigue will often have to deal with the symptoms of gynecomastia, even with ideal values ​​of prolactin and estradiol. So, when symptoms appear, it is necessary to optimize training in favor of more rest between training days, establish stable and timely sleep, and also be sure to contact a neurologist for the use of antidepressants if you cannot pull yourself together on your own.

Most negative reactions and deviations in hormones occur as a result of an overestimation of one’s body’s capabilities and knowledge, as well as in the presence of genetic or acquired characteristics during life, which the user chose not to pay attention to with the confidence that everything will work out. An unconscious and irresponsible approach causes a series of common reactions in the body, which I recommend paying attention to, namely:

• (for women) manifestation of virilization: deepening of the voice, appearance of male-type hair, increase in the size of the clitoris;
• (for men) suppression of testosterone and additional inhibition of the functioning of germ cells;
• swelling, water retention;
• (for men) decrease in sexual desire;
• acne (pimples);
• deterioration of lipogram parameters;
• high blood pressure;
• deterioration of liver function indicators;
• load on the kidneys;
• dizziness, headaches;
• pain in the heart;
• irritability;
• swelling, water retention;
• weakness.

Interaction with medications

The course (“Nandrolone Decanoate” and “Testosterone Enanthate”) increases the effect of various hormones and diabetic drugs on the body, so you should be very careful with their use. Combining the product with any other medications is strictly prohibited without first consulting a doctor. Tablets containing sodium, adrenocorticotropic hormone, mineralocorticosteroids and glucocorticoids make it difficult to remove water from the body, so a person may experience swelling and acne.

Positive effects

The positive effects of this product on the body are:

• Rapid increase in muscle mass due to increased protein synthesis.
• Reduced catabolism processes.
• Improved absorption of amino acids.
• Low percentage of water retention in the connective tissues of the body.
• Helps with calcium retention and absorption.
• Strengthening collagen production.
• Reducing pain in joints and ligaments, improving their condition.

There is an opinion among athletes that the effectiveness of a course of phenylpropionate and decanoate is different. Actually this is not true. Both types of steroid have the same agent, and the difference lies in the time the substances enter the blood.

special instructions

As has been mentioned many times before, the steroid should be taken only as prescribed by a qualified specialist. This is especially true for representatives of the fair sex who are carrying a child or are breastfed. This is due to the high likelihood of developing various serious health complications that may pose a threat to the life of the expectant mother or her baby.

To minimize the harm from the drug, Nandrolone Decanoate Sustanon is recommended to be taken together with glucocorticosteroids and cytostatics. In addition, radiation therapy is very often prescribed. People suffering from any neurological diseases should be very careful. Throughout the course of therapy, it is very important to continuously monitor intraocular pressure and prostate function, as well as periodically submit kidney tests for laboratory tests. The drug should not be given to children under two years of age.

Analogs

Nandrolone Decanoate is one of the most effective anabolic steroids, however, its cost is quite high, so not everyone can afford the drug.

The closest analogues of the product are:

• "Deca-Durabolin".
• "Nandrolone Decanoate Norm."
• "Phenobolin".
• "Nandrolone D"
• "Nandrolone Phenylpropionate".
• "Retabolil."
• "Nandrobolin 250."

All drugs have almost identical composition, and the main difference is the concentration of the active substance.

Primobolan (Methenolone)[edit | edit code]

METENOLONE (Primobolan) description of the drug, effects, action and dosage

PRIMOBOLAN HOW TO CORRECTLY USE PRIMOBOLAN TESTS

Primobolan Depot (methenolone)

Methenolone

(more commonly known as
Primobolan
, as well as
Primobol
,
Nibal
) is an anabolic steroid, a derivative of dihydrotestosterone with weak androgenic activity and moderate anabolic effects.[1] Available in tablets (Primobolan) and injectable form (Primobolan Depot). Many athletes compare the effectiveness of Primobolan and Masteron.

Primobolan Depot

- an injectable form of the drug, which is methenolone enanthate ester. The injection form has a long period of action (due to the gradual transfer of the drug from the muscles into the blood), approximately two weeks. The duration of action of Primobolan Depot is similar to Testosterone enanthate. The main disadvantage of this form is that the injections are painful. Less common is injectable acetate with a short half-life, up to about two days.

Primobolan Oral

- the form of methenolone in tablets (methenolone acetate), has a much shorter period of action (about 5 hours). Primobolan tablets have a higher price. A distinctive feature of the tablet form is the absence of toxic effects on the liver, unlike most other oral forms of steroids.

Evaluating the two forms of methenolone in general, the majority gives preference to the injection form, due to its lower cost and more uniform flow of the active substance into the blood. In addition, some part of Primobolan tablets is destroyed in the liver.

Steroid profile[edit | edit code]

• Anabolic activity - 88% of testosterone
• Androgenic activity - 44% of testosterone
• Aromatization (conversion to estrogens) - no
• Liver toxicity - mild
• Method of administration: orally (in tablets) and injections
• The half-life is 5-20 hours in tablets; 4-7 days in injections
• Detection time - up to 100 days (tablets), 6 months injection

Where can I buy?

The medicine is sold in any pharmacy, however, it is sold only by prescription. It is worth noting that some sites offer to purchase anabolic steroids at a lower price, but, as practice shows, there are a lot of counterfeits on the Internet that can be dangerous to human health and life, so it is not recommended to order the drug from online stores.
