Feedback to my first NPP Cycle
Hey Forum,
Current planned stack (12 weeks):
• 300 mg Test E / week
• 200 mg NPP / week
• 150 mg Masteron E / week
Goal: lean bulk – wider shoulders/arms, fuller look from NPP
Also worried about hair (family history on dad’s side), so keeping Mast low but in to work against NPP sides (libido)
Questions for you experienced guys:
1. How does this stack look overall? Good balance or would you change anything?
2. Do you think 150 mg Mast is enough to keep estrogen/bloat/libido in check with 300 Test + 200 NPP?
3. If I want more gains/fullness later in the cycle – could l bump NPP a lil higher with just 150mast?
Note: Nolva on hand, and its not really a cycle i wont Go off After
Thanks in advance for the honest feedback – trying to keep it mild.
Stay Safe

DocMcGainsCurrently running something similar (https://www.eroids.com/cycles/update-week-five-of-test-cyp-350mg-eq-315m...) but with EQ rather than dro, and moderately higher test. You can read my week-by-week in the linked cycle.
Sub-250 NPP you're unlikely to get either E2 or progesterone sides, especially if you are currently handling 300mg test fine without the use of an AI. I have not experienced much (really, any) bloat/water retention at 240mg NPP/week. I basically agree with the others here - you might want to increase your test. Have you taken masteron before? Do you know how you respond? If you have not, I recommend holding off on the NPP and just running the mast and test at a 1:1 to see how you respond. If all goes well, throw in the NPP at 8-10 weeks in (after getting bloods!) at around 150-200mg/week and see how you respond.
I want to up the test to 400/500 and only use 150 mast if I Go 1:1 I will get my hair shredded. U think I should have a al on Hand?
DocMcGainsThe whole thing about mast causing hair loss is not entirely accurate - that can happen, but can happen with basically any AAS, since all of them will cause increase DHT conversion which can lead to hair loss. Mostly it depends on your genetics. I had some thinning on mast, but no full-on retreat of the hairline. But then male pattern baldness does not run in my family.
Have you run your bloodwork? Before you do anything else, find out where your estradiol is on your current test dose. Once you have that number, what I would suggest is keeping test relatively low and put in the mast at 150-200mg/week. See how you respond. Run bloodwork again 8 weeks in. Don't implement an AI preemptively. There's no need unless you start getting itchy nips/signs of gyno and bloodwork confirms high E2.
Then, when you have the test/mast baseline established, add in the NPP - that's a short ester so you are committing to at least EOD pinning. I would keep it moderate at first: I started with 10mg/day and worked my way up 35mg/day, pinning every day. NPP takes about 10 days to reach saturation, so I would schedule titration up to 200-300mg on a two-week basis so that you aren't getting in front of yourself. By two weeks on a dose you will have a good sense of how you are responding to the NPP, and whether or not you should increase. Find the sweet spot - lowest dose for the most gain - and hold there with the mast and test steady. You should see some solid dry gains.
Cruising at 300mg test E seems high. My total test sits around 900-1000 when I cruise on a mere 125mg/week, and that's more than sufficient to maintain and even increase gains.
If anything 300 test is on the low side. Are you on test now? If yes, what dose?
Also maybe run the test longer, 16 weeks, and throw the additive a few weeks into the test.
Yes currently 300test e since 3 months
You're 26 years old and wanting to stay on test forever, is that right? @300/wk "trt" or "cruise"?
Not for ever but Like 3-4 years and cruise After the cycle maybe at 200 250
And if that is the case we need to know what his baseline Testosterone level was.
True. But obviously too late for that now.
