being that we're the same size (i'm 5'10" 192#), here's what I'm doing. 1st cycle was 1cc deca/wk with 50mg winny taken 1/2 in am and 1/2 in pm. I liked that, except I looked slightly "puffy". once I figure out how the hell to post pics, you'll be able to see what I looked like on that. Now, I'm on 40mg var/day and 1 cc/wk of EQ. Actually, I stopped the var. I know that's supposed to be the "women's" drug, but it not only gave me horrible acne, but it made me insane as well!!! Well, more than usual. I got in a road rage thing with a 16 yr old kid and almost "threw down" with him on the side of the road!! THat's no way for a lady to behave. Very few side effects on the EQ, but strong as hell!! I'll be competeing next spring, so I'll take a couple months off to give my poor hormones a break, and then start again in Jan. Anyway, hope that helps. Good luck.
