Test/NPP Cycle

Hey guys, looking for some opinions/experiences with NPP.

I’m currently running around 300 mg of Test Cyp per week. At that dose, my total testosterone is around 1,700, free T is around 30 ng, and E2 is around 76.

For reference, I’m 5'10", 165 lbs, and roughly 8% BF.

I recently picked up some NPP and I’m trying to figure out how people approach dosing when the goal is to get some additional strength/gains while minimizing side effects—particularly libido or erectile issues.

For those who have run NPP alongside test, what was your experience with different amounts? Did you notice any sexual side effects, and if so, at what point? I also have Cialis available, although I realize that may only help with erections rather than addressing the underlying cause.

Not looking to put on a ton of weight—mainly interested in some additional strength and lean gains while keeping side effects as low as possible.

Appreciate any experiences or opinions. Thanks in advance!

EQ vs. NPP for a BJJ Athlete — Pros/Cons?

Looking to get some opinions on what would make more sense for my goals.

Current:

  • 300 mg Test/week
  • 25 mg Anavar/day — currently on week 4

I’m considering adding either 150 mg EQ/week or 150 mg NPP/week.

For context, I’m 5'10", 165 lbs, around 8% BF, and train/compete in Jiu-Jitsu. I’m not looking to put on a ton of weight — ideally I’d like to stay around 165 lbs while getting a little stronger and maintaining good conditioning/cardio.

My biggest priorities are:

  • Strength without significant weight gain
  • Minimal impact on cardio/endurance
  • Staying lean
  • Lower overall side-effect burden

For those who have experience with both, which would you choose for these goals: EQ or NPP?

What were the biggest pros/cons you noticed with each, particularly regarding cardio, strength, water retention, blood pressure/hematocrit, estrogen/prolactin issues, and sexual side effects?

Interested in hearing everyone’s experiences and thoughts.

Testosterone / Anavar Cycle ADVICE

TEST/ANAVAR Cycle

Hey guys,

I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

I'm currently on TRT (200 mg/week Test Cyp), and I also have some extra Test Cyp along with 10 mg Anavar.

31 years old

At 200 mg/week, my bloodwork comes back at approximately:

  • Total Testosterone: 1,500 ng/dL (my lab caps the result at 1,500)
  • Free Testosterone: 28
  • Hemoglobin: 15.5
  • Hematocrit: 47%

I just started week 2 of 20-30 mg/day Anavar, and the plan is to run it for 6 weeks. I'm also taking TUDCA, fish oil, and other health supplements to stay on top of things.

For reference, I'm:

  • 5'10"
  • 168 lbs
  • ~9% body fat
  • About 89 lbs of skeletal muscle mass

My goal isn't to get bigger on the scale. I'd actually like to stay around 165 lbs and focus on adding lean muscle, improving body composition, and increasing strength while staying lean.

I'm considering doing a 12-week testosterone blast, but here's where I'm a little confused.

Since 200 mg/week already puts my total testosterone at 1,500+ ng/dL, what would actually constitute a "blast" for someone like me? Would increasing to 300–400 mg/week make sense, or is there a target testosterone level people generally aim for?

For those of you who have experience:

  • What weekly dose do you typically run for a blast?
  • Do you pay attention to testosterone levels on bloodwork, or do you go more by how you feel and your results?
  • Is there a point where increasing testosterone provides diminishing returns compared to the added side effects?

I'd love to hear your experiences. Thanks in advance!
