Lol. Should probably offer the expected disclaimer that I am not a medical doctor and any information shared here or in my other posts is not medical advice and is for entertainment purposes only.

NPP out, test up, EQ holding steady for the back end of the cycle. I can't say I have seen much bloat/water weight from the NPP or the test, so I don't think I will see a significant drop in weight/size/fullness. I suspect that is because the EQ is keeping my estrogen quite low and keeping things rather dry. Even when I deliberately spiked it with dbol I didn't see a big jump in water.

I'm adding about 1/2lb a week keeping calories in a modest surplus at 3500-3700 (upper end on high days, low end on low days) and hoping that continues when the NPP comes out. It was my first time running it and at the modest dose I was happy with it - nice fullness, no deca dick, no anhedonia. The EQ is almost like it isn't there. I haven't had any of the anxiety sides folks talk about, with the exception of the E2 issues.

I like the little extra kick from the short ester injected daily, but also to provide a fast aromatizing addition to the cyp base to help forestall an EQ induced estradiol crash. Didn’t work tho when I bumped my EQ dose too high - still crashed me out. Seems for me the ratio for EQ is around 80% of my total test to keep my E2 from bottoming out.

Next week I will drop the NPP and increase the test for the final 8 weeks of the cycle to 420mg before tapering the EQ and dropping back down to my cruising dose of 140mg test per week for a health phase.
