Decca

Deca durabolin (deca) is one of the most popular anabolic steroids used by bodybuilders to bulk up and gain lean muscle mass.

Anabolic steroids such as Deca durabolin are often used as part of 'bulking stack' and can increase muscle growth quickly when combined with a weight training program and protein rich diet.

Deca Durabolin is an anabolic steroid that's delivered to the body via intramuscular injection. The generic name for the drug is Nandrolone.

Although Deca Durabolin is a popular steroid with a long-standing reputation, it was never designed to be used for bodybuilding. As with many similar anabolic androgenic steroids, Deca Durabolin was originally developed to treat diseases that decrease bone mass and/or cause muscle wastage.

This steroid is very good for improving muscle mass - enhancing muscle hypertrophy. Don't doubt it. It has not become such a popular bulking steroid without good reason. However, it is not and has never been intended to be used without medical supervision.

In addition to offering tremendous value as a muscle growth enhancer, Deca Durabolin also presents certain dangers and not all of them relate to health. Testing positive for Deca Durabolin can get you a swift competition ban as well.

On a molecular level, Deca Durabolin is similar to testosterone. Scientifically, the only difference between it and testosterone is Deca Durabolin lacks one carbon atom at the 19th position. For this reason, it's also known as 19-nortestosterone.

As you may be aware, testosterone is the male sex hormone. It's both androgenic and anabolic. In its role as an androgen hormone, testosterone produces male characteristics such as facial hair. As an anabolic steroid, one of the main things testosterone does is enhance muscle growth and cellular repair.

Nandrolone decanoate has a higher anabolic rating than testosterone but is not as androgenic as some of the other anabolic androgenic steroids. For this reason, it's often seen as being a more acceptable option for women. However, before they use this steroid, women need to be aware the risk of masculinization is still there.

Nandrolone decanoate was created during the 1950s by researchers at the Organon Pharmaceutical company. Organon applied for a patent in 1959 and received the license in August 1961.

In addition to being good for boosting muscle growth, the steroid quickly gained a reputation as a performance enhancer and it was not long before Deca Durabolin became popular with bodybuilders, powerlifters, and athletes from many other fields of sport.

Perhaps not surprisingly given how long it's been around, Deca Durabolin was also one of the first steroids to be forbidden in sports. It was banned by the Olympics Committee in 1974 and many other sporting organizations were quick to follow suit.
