Deca and joint pain

Hey Guys,
Most of you know me, but just to state the obvious, I've been cycling on and off for over 20yrs. I was a competition power lifter for most of that time. Now I'm pretty lean and mean for a old hound dog! Long story short my joints are killing me. When I cycle I like to keep it on the leaner side. Usually Test and EQ, maybe a little GH.
My question is, what do most of you guys think would be the minimum amount of Deca I could add to my cycle to help my joints with out bloating so much. Right now on 750 Test E, 600 EQ.
Thanks for the input from my fellow Vets.

I was thinking of adding 300mgs EW to my winter bulker mainly for my joints as well. I would hope at such a low dose I could get the "lubrication" benefits, without the sides.

Thinking the same thing. A lot of Deca does not agree with me. Deca always makes my joints feel better though. I have Deca 300 so that would be a easy amount to add, nice and neat LOL.

Isn't EQ better for your joints than Deca? I lost a debate with Grizz about this. Apparently EQ increases collagen synthesis to a greater extent than Deca.

Yeah but which one increases synovial fluid the most ? That would be the more immediate joint relief that most people feel. You tend to retain more fluid on Deca than EQ so I'm assuming synovial fluid will be increased more with Deca, and thus the joints will be more "Lubricated"

That sounds accurate, hence "lubrication".

I'm mixing 125mg eq and 150mg of Deca per week right now and my joints feel noticeably better than they did before. In the past I've done 400mg/week of Deca and that didn't seem to help any more than the mixture I'm using now.
