2nd Cycle Advice (Bulk) - NPP or EQ?
I'm looking to get some advice on how I should plan my 2nd cycle at the end of summer.
My first cycle consisted of:
- 500mg Test-E for 16 weeks
- T-bol: Wks 1-4
- Var: wks 11-16
AIs:
HCG: Only until week 10 (Ran out - rookie mistake)
Adex: 0.5mg EOD
This first cycle went very well. I'll be getting a DEXA soon to confirm the gains, but I appeared to have put around 15lbs of lean mass in 4 months. I did have a tiny flare-up with possible gyno near the end of my cycle due to having a shitty AI, but I got a new one around the 10 week mark and starting using nolva - which seemed to have taken care of that.
Current Stats/Goals:
Age: 31
Wt: 201lbs
Ht: 6'0
I want my 2nd cycle to be a bulk for 12 weeks or so. I felt 16 was a bit overkill for me and I kind of just saw it through for the last month despite wanting to take a break from pinning and give my achy joints a rest. Ideally, this bulk would be more focused on putting more mass on my legs. I'm not sure if there's a AAS out there that is better suited for lower body gains, but if there is I'd like to know.
This is what I was thinking for my next cycle:
Option A:
Test-E: 500mg (wks 1-12)
T-bol: 50mg (wks 1-4)
EQ: 300-400mg (wks 1-12)
Option-B:
Test-E/Test-Prop (wks 1-12)
T-Bol: 50mg (wks 1-4)
NPP: (wks 1-12)
I know NPP is a 19-nor and requires some prolactin ancillaries like Caber, but I'm really intrigued by it. I hear EQ is a slower/cleaner gain, with less water retention. Both seem to have mild benefits to creaky joints while training - and I have a reconstructed ACL that gets achy from time to time. Any suggestions would be great - thanks!
