Mini-Growth Phase
Hey guys,
Starting a 10-week growth cycle to see what kind of gains I can make. Why 10 weeks, you may ask, well, I am travelling to Bulgaria with my family for 3 weeks starting July 8th. My wife grew up there until winning the green card lottery and coming to the US at 15, then becoming a citizen in high school- imagine that!
I will have limited access to gyms, as her village doesn't have shit, and we will be bouncing around the small, but beautiful country. I have already scoped out some gyms in larger cities.
Some background- 41, 6'0', 190lbs, 11% BF currently. Training 5 days a week, sometimes a light 6th pump day. I also train jiu-jitsu 1-2 times a week.
Coming out of a maintenance/health phase where I feel great and ready to push. Bloodwork looks great as of 2 weeks ago, and have another full panel scheduled for May 11th.
Will be bumping up the calories about 200/week from my current 2400 to about 3400-3500. I would like to keep this as "clean" as possible but also realize I need to eat to put on size.
Was originally planning on using EQ as my secondary anabolic/AI, but the slow burn just doesnt work for my timeline- will have to save that for next time with a full 16 weeks to grow.
Here's what I came up with- Test, Mast, NPP with pulsing in Anadrol a la @Makwa.
Would love to hear your feedback. Will post pics and updates as I go.
Thanks, bros!

Looks good! Given the short timeline, though, I wonder why Deca and not NPP? With 10 weeks, you could be titrated to 200-250 within 3-4 weeks with NPP. Deca will take about 4 weeks to reach full saturation; NPP will reach steady-state saturation in about two weeks. Overall, looks solid. I'll be curious to hear more about the anadrol pulsing. Are you using oral or injectable oxymetholone?
Fair point, and why I wanted feedback!! I was given this stack as a promo, so thus the reason for running it as is. Additionally, I have a prescription for Deca, so I can bring that and the Test overseas without any issues if I wanted to keep running for longer, which I was planning on dropping it back down to 75-100mg/week for joint comfort. I do have a vial of NPP so swapping it out isnt a problem. I literally pinned the Deca for the first time today so I'm not in to deep lol.
I have both oral and injectable Anadrol, and will be doing both to experiment and see which I like better. Was thinking oral for the 1st wave, inj for 2nd, then decide which I liked better for 3rd wave.
Here is some info on the pulsing philosophy

Update- swapping in NPP over Deca based on short timeline. Also as a huge plus, I forgot that I got NPP in the promo and not Deca so I’m good to go!
Nice. If you have previous experience with 19-nors and know how you usually respond you can probably cut the titration phase down some. I went pretty slow because I had never run a 19-nors before, but didn't experience anything disagreeable. When I repeat this cycle I'll probably start at 140 (20mg daily) for two weeks before bumping to 280 (40mg daily).
Enjoy the run!
