    Thanks for your reply. This will be the first time I try carb cycling so I'm not sure how I'll react. But I do make sure the diet provides an excess of calories. And yes, my goal is to lean bulk instead of gaining maximum weight possible. In the past I've only done test e only cycles or test e + npp but the npp cycle didn't go as well as the test e only ones. I'm now trying to see if the dbol will make it better or worse.

I would only say that it is worth it if you are trying to lean bulk. The dbol will also result in water retention which may cause havoc with the lean bulking.

    As an aside, can you tell me why the npp cycle didn't go as well as the test only? Would appreciate it. Best of luck deciding on a diet plan, too. I am challenged with that most of the time. Keto is definitely easiest for me but does nothing for me in a recomp, only good for drop in weight or maintenance.

    Sorry I've been crazy busy and didn't check my message. I ran an 8 wk cycle with test p+npp. Too short for me to adjust the diet. Overall I gained a lot of water weight and didn't retain much as I managed to with test only cycle. And I had a hard time recovering from npp, both physically and mentally.
