Nandrolone Decanoate is a very anabolic and slightly androgenic form of 19-nortestosterone A very prominent positive nitrogen balance is realized with administration of this product. And since nandrolone promotes nitrogen storage, growthand repair in hard-trained muscles will be more pronounced than normal. In addition, a noted effect by many athletes polled was that most of them experienced a joint healing effect during Deca cycles. Since aromatization was low, in 400-600-mg weekly dosages, and fat burning was high due to the high affinity to the androgen receptor that Deca has, anti-estrogens were not typically necessary to avoid gyno and other estrogen induced side effects.

Commonly used doses for men were in the area of 400-600mg weekly, and dosages over 400 mg weekly caused more water retention, while women seemed to do well with 100mgs/week. In fact, women have consistently reported very respectable lean mass and strength gains at dosages of only 50-100 mg weekly. Viralizing effects usually were avoided by single weekly injections of 50-100 mg nandrolone decanoate. Men, however would need to stack Deca with testosterone in order to have more appreciable weight gains, and avoid sexual dysfunction. Unfortunately, this compound is detectable for up to a year and a half after administration, so drug tested athletes should avoid it.
