+ 1 Joint Lubrication
ad
I have used NPP in the past for joint lubrication and overall growth. But after reading some post and little research, I think I'm going to go down the recomp path. I would like to get in really good shape. Below 12% BF. So just do want to add on the extra weight. My problem and question is.....my joints are dry and crackling. This was a issue on just TRT dose 120mg weekly. Is there anything that can give me just a bit of joint relief without the adding water/fat gain.
Currently running 300mg Test C split Sun Wed
Mast P 50mg eod.
Is this all wrong? Some advise would appreciate. Roast me if you have to but still help if you can. Thanks

I hear a lot of people talking about not wanting to use a wet compound or run NPP/Deca bc of water retention, it may effect some people that way, but I can run high dose Deca/NPP and have zero water retention issues, give it a try, it def helps with the old joints
It’s because a lot of people that get the water retention won’t admit that the real reason is they are FAT and should have gotten their diet in check first. I run Deca all the time and no issues.
Yea prob so, I live running it and have zero sides, but I’m also not a fatback either.
Lubrication hehe
Nasty bastard hehe lol.
Blood test numbers??
Bloodwork was pretty good on TRT. Been running this for 2 weeks. 3 month blood pull next week, will post.
Do you use sleeves, are you using an ai like aromasin or arimidex on top of mast, what kind of fats and how much are you eating daily?
Which joints in particular are cracking and feeling dry?
The knees are the worst. The ankles pop all night long. Usually wake about 6:30 a.m. But need the hour and half to loosen up before I get to the gym.
Damn - if you said shoulders I was going to say just do some rotator cuff rehab work and that will sort the tendons out. Have you done another sport in the past to cause patellar tendon problems or injuries? Suck as running/track sports etc
Oh yeah. Football all the way through college. Play golf at least once a week. Shoulders are fine, but the lower body is getting old.
Isometric wall squats/holds are supposed to be great for the knees and relieving tendon pain.
You can look dry and lean on NPP. Nor does it cause fat gain. Both the dryness “look” and fat gain is strictly due to diet. Nothing to do with the specific compound. If you need joint lubrication then you can add ~50-75mg/wk of normal deca. That should keep you feeling less creaky and is easier to dose than EOD NPP shots
