I started on Test E at 250mg a week for the first four weeks. Then I bumped it up to 350mg a week, pinning three times a week for four weeks, and now I am getting ready to move up to 500mg a week. I have not had any E2 sides so far and have not needed to take an AI at all.
My main issue is that my joints have been really sore, and my recovery feels a lot slower than usual. I was thinking about adding a low dose of NPP at 100mg a week to help with that. Everyone always says to stick to a test only first cycle, but if my bloodwork and everything else looks solid, would it be okay to throw in a little NPP now? Or should I just stick to the test only plan for the entire 20 weeks before I drop down and cruise? Thanks.
not gonna lie if it’s your first real run i’d probably wanna see what the test alone actually does before throwing npp in. once you add another compound it gets way harder to tell what’s helping and what’s causing problems
also 20 weeks is a pretty long first cycle already tbh. sometimes more time and more compounds doesn’t automatically mean better results if recovery is already feeling rough halfway in
