I'm assuming you're taking the sauce and cyp because that's just what you have access to, right?..
It's strange, but it will still work.
It's Test either way brother.
As far as for your joints, well, have you ran Deca before?..
As we all know, we all react a little differently to certain compounds, but Deca is tried and true and has been a staple for body builders for a long time.
It's still all about finding the balance and what works best for you though!!
Personally, I'm all about starting with the lowest recommended dose to see how my body reacts, then moving up as I see fit. That way, over time you'll have something to work up to (as your body eventually requires more) instead of just taking what everyone else takes when you really didn't need to begin with so much in the first place.
So, For therapeutic uses (such as your joints), 200mg/week is a great starting point, especially if you've never taken it before. You shouldn't need more than that brother, but you can easily assess and adjust the dose if needed.
Keep in mind, this is the recommended dose for your joints. Not for growth!
For use as a bulking agent, higher doses are used. Typically anywhere from 300-600mg with 400mg/week being the sweet spot for most men. If you're running higher doses of Deca, you can lower your Test dose.
Sometimes less is more bro!!
As I said, it's all about the "balance" that works for you.
No-one can tell you the exact dose your body is going to receive the best!!
That takes time and patience.
I'll go back and look, but I missed your cycle length. You do know Deca is a very long acting compound and you should be planning to run it for 10-12 weeks, right? 8 weeks at the bare minimum, but even as long as 16 weeks is well tolerated, especially at lower doses.
It's also a 19-nor compound, so be sure to have some Caber on hand just in case. Especially if you're gonna run higher doses. Better safe than sorry.
Also, if you decide to go with a higher dose, it wouldn't hurt to run some Proviron alongside it to help with your libido/sexual sides. Deca is known for its sexual sides brother.
I'm all about precautions!
There are safe ways to take gear & have the best experience possible...
I hate to assume anything, and I may have missed this, but this isn't your first cycle is it? In guessing not, since you're asking about Deca for your joints.
Either way, do you always require so much Test?
Just curious why you're taking that dose as well.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
Best of luck with your cycle brother!
