Going from a double compound stack to a single.

[Wesz]

Hi, this is my first time posting on a steroid forum after sometime of lurking.

This will be my third cycle, and I plan on running test e for 10 weeks at 500mg a week, and up to 750 a week at weeks 5-10.
My first cycle was test e 500mg a week for 8 weeks, and my 2nd was Test p / NPP at 150mg EOD for 6 weeks (I cut my cycle short because I was getting unwanted acne).

My single compound cycle caused little to no sides, and I was very happy with the results. My most recent cycle with NPP shut my body down hard, and I'm still suffering from newly grown bacne (my last pin was over 3 months ago). My question is;

If I go from a 2 compound cycle back down to a 1, will my gains diminish?

Thankyou in advance.

You will still make great gains off of test only

I don't know how many cycles I've done but I've been at it for 10 years or so.I'm currently on a test only cycle. I would run your cycle a little longer. Get some Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and a pct too.

test-only cycles can make for great gains, but like all cycles this is dependant on your diet, training and rest... one thing I would suggest is that if u do go ahead with the test cycle, don't change your dosage during the cycle, it won't do anything for u. 10-12 weeks at 500mg's per week will be fine, followed by post cycle therapy (pct) of clomid 50mg/nolva 30mg for 30 days (start post cycle therapy (pct) 15-20 days after last injection, 20 days seems to work best for me after test e)

Very helpful, thanks! I'll bump it up to 12 weeks at 500mg a week sustained. I have clomid, nolva and arimidex on hand already. I planned on starting pct 2 weeks after last pin. I think I'll stick to test only cycles at the rate I'm at now (cycle, 4 weeks pct, break as long as cycle).
My diet is great, and I'm a great cook, but I still have so much to learn.

I don't think anybody will have it all figured out. We all learn something everyday. I learned the other day that I obviously pissed off the wrong person! Oh well...
