deca or npp

[jfalco]

I'm in the very early planning stages for my second cycle. My first cycle was test 500 mg/w for 12 weeks and I kept about 15 pounds of gain. I went backing in alaska right after my cycle and it was impossible to maintain my diet so I dropped 10 pounds in 2 weeks. I plain to gain back that 10 and drop some fat before my next cycle this winter.

I was thinking of either deca/test e or npp/prop for my winter bulker. Would npp/prop give me similar results but start working quicker?
Do people generally run longish cycles with npp, or can it be used in short cycles because of the short ester?

A tied and true bulking cycle is 400-500mg of deca and 400-700mg test e or c.

A lot of that 10 pounds was probably water,decca tends to bloat most people.

Shorter esters can be ran shorter obviously because the steroid itself kicks in quicker... whereas a long ester take a good couple weeks.. why would you run 8 weeks when it kicks in in 4-5? Compared to short esters that kick in almost instantly.
