+ 3 Looking for some guidance- When to add Nandrolone?
ad
Looking for some advice on my cycle that I am planning out now. Will be a dedicated growth phase.
Running Test, EQ, and Nandrolone (have both Deca and NPP on hand).
My question is I want to start this cycle in about a month (as I have some obligations in May that is forcing me to continue my TRT/health phase)- should I add in the Nandrolone now at a low dose to start getting some joint benefits or start all the Bold & Nandrolone together? Any pros/cons to either way.
Will also be "pulsing" some Anadrol as laid out by @Makwa.
Thanks!

MaxEffort85Sounds like a solid plan you got there! If I were you, I'd personally start the Nandrolone right from the get go too. The joint support is definitely a plus, especially during a growth phase. Plus, you'll probably appreciate how well NPP synergizes with Test and EQ. Those gains are gonna hit differently when everything's firing on all cylinders! You think you’ll stick to low doses first or jump right into your desired amount?
Enjoy the cycle brotha man, I'm abt to run npp as well. when i search npp in the search bar on here, i get the 404 cat page. but only when i search npp oddly.
I have that thread about ‘pulsing’ saved.
Man, Id start it all at once. Finish out your TRT/health phase well, trying to cheat by adding NPP hahaha. That NPP and adrol together is gonna make you a beast.
unseen423That’s the goal!!
DocMcGainsCheck out my report on exactly this cycle (https://www.eroids.com/cycles/update-week-fourteen-of-test-cyp-350mg-eq-...).
Probably more detail than you need. The TLDR version would be start the NPP at the beginning. I titrated up over 6 weeks or so before landing at 245mg/week (daily injections 35mg/day). I went up by 5mg/day every two weeks or so, starting at 10mg/day. I felt the strength, joint lubrication, and fullness within 5-7 days. Really liked this compound
The reason I suggest adding NPP is the short ester will get things going while you wait for the slow train EQ to build momentum. I frontloaded EQ but still felt like I didn't really begin to notice its affects until 6 weeks in. At that point, I pushed from 350mg/week EQ to 420, and that proved too much for my test base (1:1 ratio) and I crashed my E2. I threw in some dbol at 20mg a day, split preworkout and in the afternoon and that fixed the E2 issue, and I increased my test base to 525 (for a .8:1 ratio EQ to test) which was about right. I kept the dbol in for 8 weeks; I didn't know how much I was going to like it. I would throw in the anadrol in the last 6-8 weeks for a final push/boost, similar to how I used dbol.
I had basically no sides from this cycle aside from a little light topical acne on my shoulders. My libido was strong (improved, really) and I gained good strength and decent size. I've been off for a month and haven't lost either strength or size. I've already re-upped to run this again next time I do a growth cycle. Next time I'll go higher on NPP just to see how I respond, like 315mg (45mg/day).
My post cycle bloods came back pretty good. Hematocrit at 45%, up from 41% precycle. Some dyslypidemia (HDL dropped to 32 from 66 precycle; LDL actually improved to 85, down from 107) and liver enzymes slightly elevated, probably from the dbol (AST 65 and ALT 80).
Enjoy! It was a great cycle for me!
unseen423Thanks bro, great info! I’ll give it a thorough read tonight!
