+ 2 Cruising and thinking of adding NPP or Deca..
ad
So here is the deal, I am cruising on 150mg of Test C a week. I am thinking of adding in a low dose of Deca or NPP to help the joints out. Is this a bad idea when not blasting? My joints are hurting all the time like I am getting old especially my knees and it makes it hard to work out the legs.

Sprinkle some NPP on those joints bro
I’m doing the same bro. I’d cruise on deca assuming you don’t have a doctor monitoring you for TRT. I always got significantly better joint relief from deca compared to NPP. 100mg a week should be more than sufficient. You may find you can get away with less. But I’d start there for definite relief and then possibly go down. I have blood tests every 3 months for TRT and I can’t tell what kind of test my doctor is ordering. I’m concerned that deca will cross detect as testosterone and make my test levels way higher than they are. So I’m using NPP and I’ll drop it like 2 weeks before my labs and restart it right after.
Thanks man, that is what I will do, I have a deca vial I need to use up. I was just checking to see if others do this. My cruise I have the Test dialed in pretty well not too high or too low and didn't want to mess anything up. I know deca helped me a lot when I was blasting.
I was taking npp and 125 mg test a week and got blood work done. Total test was like 1400 where im usually at 900. Was told npp threw my numbers off.
Ya that would make sense. I can’t remember which is which but I believe it’s the ECLIA method that will cross detect nandrolone for testosterone, but LC/MS-MS won’t. And I can’t figure out which my doctor is using. I’d much rather use deca than NPP for joints but I don’t want risk it. I only get 3 months between bloodwork. If I were on 50-100mg of deca I could probably stop 2 weeks before and levels would be low enough to not significantly change my test results. My doc takes insurance so TRT through them is dirt cheap and I don’t want to fuck it up. I tried to get her to prescribe me deca but she had no idea what I was talking about. Never heard of it and then brought up NAD+ lol
I’m usually an NPP person for blasts, but in this specific scenario you’d want to go with Deca. Little as 50mg per week should provide relief. It certainly helped me with the knee pain and arthritis I have from tearing my ACL (twice now) and the surgery to fix it. I don’t get as much joint relief from NPP and you’d have to pin it more often. Deca you get to do that like 0.2ml once a week if you want. Super convenient and easy
Thanks man, I think I will just use up my opened vial of deca.
I’m about 6 weeks into a blast right now and decided to try splitting the Nandrolone portion between NPP and Deca. I usually run 750mg -1 g/wk Deca with 750 Sust and a mild dose of Mast on a Nandrolone blast. This time I’ve been using 600 mg Deca + 300 mg NPP. I’m really, really enjoying it so far. I’m getting all of the great strength, size, joint relief and “mental feel good” from Nandrolone without all of the bloat that usually accompanies such a high dose of Deca only.
Npp over deca. Less sides
Less sides maybe, but definitely less joint relief too.
I wish there was a Nandrolone Enanthate... something in between Npp and Decanoate. I once got my hands on Nandrolone Cypionate from purple panda. It was surprisingly dry similar to npp.
Agreed. nandrolone enanthate would be cool. I wonder why no one’s done that before. I’ve never even seen nandrolone cyp, that would be fine too. Labs have done it with boldenone. I’ve gotten bold acetate (by far worst pip ever) and bold cyp.
Someone needs to make it because Bold cyp is really fuckin good and makes EQ obsolete in my opinion. Maybe after all the terrif stuff gets settled.
AlysiaYeohI've heard of guys doing that on a cruise for joint relief. I'd lean towards NPP since it clears out of your system faster than Deca if you decide to come off it.
150mg test and like 100-200mg NPP maybe? See how you feel. Definitely keep an eye on prolactin. Some guys get away with it, others need caber or prami.
It's not a bad idea to experiment, just start low and slow.
