I'm with you on including the test, but I disagree with the doses. Alot of people expereince a limp noodle when deca is not kept 1:2 with test. Do you have to be exact, no. 500 and 300 or 600/700 and 400 will work, giving you significant less trouble to preform. I just wouldn't recomend a straight 1:1 cycle. I also don't beleive its necessary to stop the deca two wks prior. I've never done it and never had any trouble. The chances that deca only will give you progesterone problems are very very low. Deca was the big thing at my college, I've seen many people including myself do 400-800mg a wk this way and be fine.
