Ive done staight deca cycles for 12 weeks before and i didnt have any libido problems, there were basically no side effects and i made good gains. Ive heard alot of people talk about deca-dick but i have never had that happen to me.
All steroids are test or derivatives of test anyway. So a "cycle without test" is kinda a misnomer.
This isn't true. There are several Progesterone and even Estradiol based (anabolic) steroids now. Boldenone doesn't really look much like test, Masteron is FAR closer to DHT than straight test. The point is that traditional AAS all fit onto the androgen receptor so I guess they can be called Androgen derivatives.
