I think people get a little too optimistic when they hear "Tren is 5 times more anabolic and androgenic than Test". This does not mean that you're going to gain 5x more with a Test/Tren cycle as opposed to just running Test alone. Furthermore, I am only letting you know what I have personally experienced. I had absolutely amazing results running NPP. For me, however, it was also about gains vs. side effects. For the slight advantage that Tren gave me over NPP in the strength department (again, mg for mg), the extra sides were not worth it to me, which is why I prefer NPP (in ways...yes, Tren has its place as well). So, given the OP's dosages, I would favor running something like 400mg of NPP, as opposed to 250mg Tren. In this individual case, and in my opinion, NPP > Tren. Please do not confuse this with me saying "NPP is better than Tren for strength".
