really the only big question i have is i just got ahold of a bottle of deca 300 i guess it's 10mL b/c it's not the vials. anyway what i'm really trying to do is lose weight but keep my muscle mass and if at all possible gain it. i have vacation coming the end of oct. and was hoping i could be alot leaner by then. as of right now i'm on the atkins diet and have lost about 12 lbs. in a week and a half. i have good size when it comes to upper body it's just the spare tire that kills me. i'm 22 yrs. old 5'8 220lbs. and like i said i have good size just no cut. anyway the question's i had were is deca the way to go??? for my 1st ever cycle and trying to lose weight will it work?? where i live it's hard to get gear b/c they have been cracking down. in the last year 3 ppl. have been busted w/ it or i would have got other gear that i know would have helped. also if it is a good cycle to try what should i do as far as the cycle. like how many cc's and how many days a week. someone told me start w/ 1 cc's and work up but like i said...i've never done this b4 so i'm kinda lost. any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you!!
