Switch from deca to NPP mid-cycle to prevent long recovery?

[ocisbomb]

What do you guys think about this:

one of the downsides of deca is the long recovery time.

I started a deca cycle and am on week 7 (of 14). I was thinking about using NPP for the next 6-7 weeks instead of regular deca, just to finish out the cycle without a long recovery or nasty crash.

Can anyone think of a negative reaction, interaction, or any reason this is a good or bad idea?

...not a bad idea at all

 

[psychedout]

Its an excellent idea.

Wish I would have switched about six months ago! This is a good idea to ease potential sides.

Good luck!

Can anyone think of negatives? Also, I cant think of a reason why it wouldn´t work with test, eq, tren, or any of the other long/short option steroids. I will keep a specific log on my pct and recovery time.

It depends on how long you run the nandrolone. If you're doing a 10-12 week and you've run the deca for 5-6 weeks, i don't think switching to NPP is going to speed recovery, because you can't recover until you're off anyway. Deca shuts you down hard and even by switching to a short ester you still are at a certain level of shutdown and that level will not change until you are completely off.

it's a good idea, so you can start pct asap when done with the nnp.

I've done a similer cycle that looked like this-

deca yellow tops week 1-8

NNP week 1-5 then week 8-11

proviron week 1-11

PCT- dostinex, clomid , noval, and hcg during week 9-10


best cycle i've ever done. 0 side effects, high sex drive, and perfect recovery, if you know how to use deca, it's a great drug.

This is a tried and tested idea - if you're using long acting esters then you can juice right up till PCT rather than having a 2-3 week gap.

You meant short esters bro.

Deca shuts you down hard and even by switching to a short ester you still are at a certain level of shutdown and that level will not change until you are completely off.

But my thinking is this: It will speed recovery because you aren´t "off" until the esters clear. With n. decoanate you aren´t clear until 2-3 weeks after, and during those weeks, your blood levels are dropping so you aren´t benefiting from them as much. With a short acting product you will benefit for those 2-3 weeks, OR be totally clear in 5-10 days (if you stop) instead, enabling you to begin PCT more quickly.

It´s just about efficiency. With the long esters, you´re in transition a lot more; a total of 5 weeks beginning and end. If you do short esters beginning (thanks for the great idea Monkey!) and end, the time you spend in the innefficient transition period of dropping or increasing blood levels is significanty reduced. You´re either ON or OFF, not STARTING or FINISHING.

Why wouldn´t you just use the short esters through the whole cycle? It´s harder to maintain a steady blood level, and more frequent injections are a bitch. So the cycle test-monkey mentioned above is a GREAT idea. You use the strong points of each product, and minimize the weaknesses.

I like the sound of this. Any other opinions or experiences?

(By the way, I am loving deca. There are no sides for me, what little sex drive issues might arise are easily countered with cabergoline.) The gains are awesome.
