Personally, I really like using tbol in my cycles. It will provide slow, steady gains of lean muscle, and lower SHBG and free up some extra test. And very beneficial when ran with multiple compounds. Overall, a great compound imo, and very gentle on the body. But don't expect anything drastic here, like huge slabs of muscle!

But if you're looking for an "oral kickstarter" like you said, then you might wanna consider a different oral with a little more power like Dbol perhaps. Like I said, I like tbol very much and I think it would work good with test and deca. But an oral like dbol would have that extra potency that you sound like you're looking for, if you want something to kickstart your cycle. If you do go with tbol, 20mg/day might be a good place to start, but you'll find a more effective dose in the 40-60mg range imo. But of course, everyone's body is different. Good luck with everything!

Btw, which compounds have you ran previously, which orals, and would you say that this is more of a bulking cycle?

Hahahhaha
