Test e 500 and NPP 400 - 20 week run, week 12 update

[Mick AU]

20-week test e 500mg and NPP 400mg cycle, checking in at week 12. Joints are excellent, shoulder has been pain free since week 4. Strength still going up. Water retention hit hard weeks 2-4 but settled right down after that. Keeping adex at 0.5mg EOD. Blood pressure stable. Will push through to week 20 and then cruise. NPP at this dose has been the best compound decision I have made in years.

Week 12 numbers looking solid. The shoulder recovery from NPP is what would sell me on it for my next blast. Have had a rotator cuff issue for two years that never fully resolved. How early in the cycle did you actually notice the joint benefit?

Week 12 looking solid. NPP at 400mg for joints is the sweet spot in my experience - above that you start managing prolactin harder than you'd like. Glad it's working. Are ye planning to run NPP through the full 20 weeks or drop it a couple weeks early?

The joint benefit showing at week 4 is consistent with the pharmacokinetics. Nandrolone reaches significant accumulation within 2-3 weeks on NPP ester. Water settling after the initial front-load is typical too. Good update, interested to see the week 20 numbers.

I am planning a similar cycle after reading your earlier posts. The shoulder benefit is what I am most interested in given my injury history. Week 4 for joint pain relief is encouraging. What dose of caber are you running alongside it?
