Sorry man, question is, I was originally planning a deca cycle with a dbol kick start, plans have changed and I am switching to NPP but I already have the dbol, would taking the dbol be a waste or ill advised since the purpose is to kick start and NPP is short ester.
This is what I was kind of thinking, I'll probably just stash it for a later date.
I run maintenance cals due to my BF%, I've seen others successfully cycle at maintenance and build muscle while losing fat. Obviously I don't tap into the full potential of the compounds ability to build muscle doing this, but it allows me to gain muscle slowly while losing fat slowly, and so far I retain all of my gains.
I try to shift as much of my calorie intake toward protein as possible, I have cut out too much fat before and my hair started falling out, almonds help with that.
I'll be the first to admit this isn't the best way to do this, but it's the road I'm walking and it's taking me toward my goal.
