Trenbolone / Equipoise / Testosterone

Trenbolone, the most famous steroid for amazing gains, meets Equipoise, the most misunderstood steroid. In this article, we’ll be going over the facts on how and why you need to stack Tren and EQ; in addition, we’ll cover the fine points of bulking vs. cutting cycles.

What is Trenbolone?

In the bodybuilding world, trenbolone, or tren, is often considered one of, if not the most, powerful anabolic steroid. Having an anabolic rating of 500 with an androgenic rating of 100, tren really shows its power on paper when compared to the baseline hormone Testosterone.  Testosterone only exhibits a 1:1 anabolic/androgenic ratio.

Trenbolone belongs to a class of 19-nor steroids, which means its chemical structure has been altered to create a new compound. Interestingly, Tren was originally designed for cattle, but it quickly found its home in the bodybuilding community given its amazing anabolic (muscle building) nature and capacity.

What to expect from Trenbolone?

Given trenbolone’s highly anabolic nature, the user will experience a substantial increase in muscle mass and hardening with this compound. Tren has a great ability to increasing IGF-1 levels (Insulin like growth factor-1); in addition, it boosts cellular repair and increases nutrition partitioning effects in humans.

Even in a caloric deficit, trenbolone is extremely efficient at preserving muscle tissue and continuing to build new tissue. As if that wasn’t enough, Tren has powerful androgenic qualities, so users can experience great strength gains as well as muscle hardening and fat loss.

Side Effects of Trenbolone

  • Insomnia
  • Night Sweats
  • Mood Swings and aggression
  • Decrease in cardiovascular output and organ function
  • Elevated prolactin levels
  • Lethargy

What is Equipoise?

Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate), or EQ, is a veterinarian grade anabolic steroid with a similar molecular structure to testosterone, where a double carbon bond was added to alter its structure. However, its effects are not very similar to testosterone; in fact, EQ was designed to be an injectable form of Dianabol (D-Bol). Regardless, Equipoise is rather unique, as it possesses additional traits of its original counterparts with an anabolic-androgenic ratio of 1

What to expect from Equipoise?

Equipoise is often related to Deca Durabolin, but, in fact, it’s quite different. EQ is very effective at increasing red blood cell count in the body, which will lead to a great increase in muscular endurance. Red bloods cells carry oxygen and nutrients to all cells in the body including muscle cells.

Boldenone Undecylenate will not provide significant mass or strength gains like trenbolone, but it will allow you to push yourself longer during exercise. Also, it will help preserve muscle tissue when in a caloric deficit, and it will slowly build new muscle tissue. Furthermore, users can expect added vascularity while using this steroid.

Side Effects of Equipoise

  • Increase red blood cell count
  • Increase in appetite
  • Acne
  • Increased heart rate

Stacking Trenbolone and Equipoise

Trenbolone and Equipoise is not a very common stack, but the two compounds can certainly provide a very flexible cycle when ran with a Testosterone base. Whether bulking or cutting, both Tren and EQ will serve to build lean muscle, preserve muscle tissue, and increase muscle strength and endurance.

Depending on the goals of the user, this stack could serve nearly any purpose, especially for adding lean and keepable mass. In addition, this cycle will yield good muscle hardening and vascularity coupled with fat loss.

Dosages

Although some users desire higher dosages, the general dosage of 200-400mgs/week of Trenbolone (acetate or enanthate) should be sufficient for nearly any user. Generally, EQ is dosed around the 600mgs/week range, but some users claim 800-1000mgs/week will yield the best results.

It’s always best to be moderate with your cycles, so 200-400mgs of trenbolone with 600mgs of equipoise will be more than enough steroids.

Things to consider

Equipoise (Boldenone Undecylenate) is a very long lasting ester, and it can take 4-6 weeks to “kick in.” Thus, the average recommended cycle is a minimum of 12 weeks, but preferably 16 weeks. When stacking tren and EQ, one can expect natural testosterone suppression, so adding a Testosterone ester to this cycle is recommended. An aromatase inhibitor, or AI, such as Arimidex is highly recommended to keep estrogen related side effects to a minimum.

When using trenbolone it is wise to have a prolactin inhibitor, like Cabergoline (dostinex), on hand to reduce prolactin related side effects. This is not crucial but can be helpful.

The power of Trenbolone complemented with the flexibility of Equipoise can be an amazing stack if utilized properly.

Cycles

I will go over 2 sample cycles with you, a bulking and cutting cycle involving Tren and EQ. Bulking will be to gain mass, while cutting will be to lean out.

NPP

NPP stands for Nandrolone Phenylpropionate. It’s rare to meet someone who uses steroids by their real name, but NPP first hit the shelves in the 1950s. It was manufactured by the company Oreganon. NPP is a small ester-based anabolic steroid that is not as common as the larger ester version known as Decanoate, partly due to its lack of availability. But in today’s world, NPP is starting to see an increase in use by bodybuilders and athletes. More and more people in the fitness industry today are using NPP to the same extent as its Deca-Durabolin counterpart, and it’s no wonder why. NPP cycles are what you do with them. You can choose a cycle with NPP and do your part through proper nutrition and training that will provide great results. Or you can use NPP and do nothing with your diet or lack of training and get no results. Which option will you choose? It shouldn’t be a difficult decision. Make the most of your cycle and feel and look amazing!

NPP has always typically come in a standard 100mg doses per ml, but has now also become available in a much stronger 200mg per ml dose.

While NPP is similar to Nandrolone Decanoate, it differs in that NPP must be injected more frequently to keep blood levels stable. NPP is slightly more anabolic than testosterone, but less androgenic than testosterone. For this reason, some users are able to tolerate NPP at higher dosages than with high testosterone dosages.

Before we move on to NPP cycles, it’s worth mentioning that this steroid has been used medicinally to treat a wide variety of health conditions, including anemia, breast cancer, muscle wasting diseases, severe burns, and ulcers.

Nandrolone Phenylpropionate can be used for cutting and bulking, but for a steroid to work in any cycle, a person’s diet and training must be impeccable. Simply put, you cannot benefit from any steroid if you are sitting on the couch and not eating healthy. It just won’t happen!

By training and diet, we mean a well-balanced eating plan built around cycle goals. For example, by using NPP in your cutting cycle, you want to eat fewer calories so your body can burn fat and become leaner and more toned. When using NPP for bulking, consuming excess calories will allow the user to gain lean muscle mass without bloating.

The benefits of a cycle with Nandrolone Phenylpropionate

NPP will increase size and muscularity when used for bulking. Obviously, in order to achieve the desired results, it is imperative that an individual consume more calories to enable the steroid to be used to its full potential. Growth will come when we feed the body and muscles with the nutrients it needs. The results are not said to be fast, but they will be stable throughout the cycle.

While NPP is used more for bulking, it can be used in a cutting cycle to protect an existing lean muscle. Cutting cycles require the user to consume fewer calories, which will cause the body to want to burn fat and muscle. NPP will not allow muscle loss to occur.

Another important benefit of NPP is its ability to relieve joint pain and provide relief that usually occurs when people train hard and lift weights.

NPP has a strong appetite stimulant effect that is sure to help off-season users of this steroid when packing for lean muscle mass in preparation for a cutting and / or upcoming competition cycle. When talking about a contest or contest, the NPP is removed from the system within 10-12 months. This is beneficial to those who are usually drug tested.

Shorter NPP cycles will still produce amazing results. You will find that some people will perform NPP cycles for as long as four to six weeks and still gain high-quality lean muscle mass.

NPP vs Deca: Which is better for gains?

Although often compared to Deca Durabolin, there are definite differences between the two. Let’s discuss the difference between Deca and NPP.

The main difference is that Deca (Deca Durabolin) is a synthetic form of testosterone while NPP is a complete form of Nandrolone Phenylpropionate.

But there’s more my friend.

When you are considering which one to use, it is important to know how they work in your body and what their side effects may be.

We hope this blog post helps answer any questions you have about these two hormones.

NPP vs Deca – What are they?

In this part, we’re going to discuss them and define what these two compounds are, and how they act in the body. First…

What is Deca?

Deca Durabolin is a synthetic form of testosterone that was created in the 1950s.

It is an injectable drug that was used to treat conditions like low testosterone, breast cancer, and osteoporosis.

Deca is also known as Deca Durabolin or Nandrolone Decanoate – a popular bulking steroid that has been used by bodybuilders for years.

Deca is an illegal performance-enhancing drug. It was declared illegal by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) years ago.

Deca works by increasing nitrogen retention which helps increase protein synthesis so your body can build up more lean muscle mass while you are working out.

It also has an anti-estrogenic effect, which means it helps reduce the amount of estrogen in your body. Too much estrogen can lead to gynecomastia (man boobs).

Deca has a low risk of adverse long-term effects on health, unlike most other substances abusing athletes use to improve their performance.

You could suffer from minor negative side effects after its intakes, such as joint pain and high blood pressure.

And a few others which could lead to serious health complications.

What is NPP?

NPP stands for Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, which is natural progesterone.

It comes in an oil-based injectable form and is used to treat conditions like low testosterone, breast cancer, and osteoporosis.

NPP is a natural male sex hormone that also has a progestogenic effect.

Even though it is considered to have fewer side effects than Deca, you should still be aware of the potential for adverse reactions if NPP injections are administered improperly or too frequently.

NPP has been used mainly in the treatment of advanced breast cancer in women and as an adjunct therapy for the treatment of senile or postmenopausal osteoporosis in women.

Historically, it has also had a variety of other uses. Due to its progestogenic activity, NPP has been used to treat threatened or habitual abortion.

NPP is also known as Durabolin and Decabol among other names.

The drug may be sold in the form of an oil solution for intramuscular injection (brand name Delatestryl). For this purpose, it is usually formulated in combination with the long-acting anesthetic propionate

NPP vs Deca – Which is Best for Gains?

Specifically, when it comes to gains, Deca Durabolin is the better option.

The main difference between these two products lies in their chemical structure and how they work to produce gains (or losses).

Deca works by increasing nitrogen retention, which helps increase protein synthesis so your body can build up more lean muscle mass while you are working out.

NPP works by mimicking the effects of naturally occurring progesterone in your body. This hormone also has an anti-estrogenic effect, which means it helps reduce the amount of estrogen in your body.

Deca increases gains by helping your body hold more nitrogen and reducing estrogen. NPP does not have the same anti-estrogenic effects as Deca, so it may be less effective at helping you achieve gains.

For example:

As a bodybuilder – when you’re looking to grow, you’ll want to take something that is going to help increase protein synthesis and retain nitrogen. Deca Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate) would be the better choice in this case over NPP (Nandrolone Phenylpropionate).

As we all know, bodybuilders and athletes are constantly seeking ways to improve their performance and stay ahead of the competition.

Adding massive gains and muscles are just as important to them, if not more so than the average person.

There are many products on the market today that claim they can help you get bigger and stronger faster with little or no effort at all.

But when it comes down to which one actually works – steroids like Deca, NPP, Dbol and many others are top contenders.

However, a serious problem to consider is their legality and safety. Which we’ll address very soon.

Deca vs NPP for Joints

When it comes to Deca vs NPP, they are both effective treatments for conditions like low testosterone and osteoporosis.

However, there is one very important difference between Deca vs NPP that you should know before deciding which treatment option will work best for you: the effect each has on your joints.

Deca can cause joint pain and swelling, while NPP does not have any known side effects on your joints.

If you are experiencing joint pain, Deca may not be the best option for you. Talk to your doctor to see if NPP is a better treatment option for you.

Deca Durabolin vs NPP – Which is the Winner?

When it comes to Deca vs NPP, there is no clear winner. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks.

More on their drawbacks soon.

Deca is a synthetic form of testosterone that can be used to increase muscle mass and strength. It is also effective in treating conditions like low testosterone, breast cancer, and osteoporosis.

However, Deca has a higher risk of side effects than NPP.

NPP is natural progesterone that can be used to treat conditions like low testosterone, breast cancer, and osteoporosis.

However, because it’s not synthetic there are no known long-term health risks associated with its use.

If you want to choose between Deca and NPP, it is important to consider your individual needs and what you are hoping to achieve. Talk to your doctor to see if either of these hormones is right for you.

Deca Durabolin vs Nandrolone phenylpropionate – Side Effects

Anabolic steroids are common with side effects, but they are not severe if you do not abuse them.

However, there are several side effects of both Deca vs NPP. Some can be mild or temporary and some more serious that may require medical attention.

Some possible side effects include:

  • Acne
  • Changes in sex drive
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Enlarged prostate
  • Hair loss
  • Increased cholesterol levels
  • Irritability
  • Swelling and pain in the joints
  • Testicular shrinkage
  • Water retention

It is important to be aware of the side effects associated with Deca and NPP before you start taking them.

Besides the side effects, Deca is an illegal performance-enhancing drug. It was declared illegal by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) years ago.

NPP on the other hand is a controlled substance in many countries and so non-medical use is generally illicit

This brings me to…

Final Thoughts

What’s the difference between Deca and NPP?

This is a question that many people ask themselves when they are looking to purchase an over-the-counter supplement.

When it comes to Deca vs NPP, there is no clear winner. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks.

Deca and NPP are both used to treat a variety of health conditions, but there is one very important difference between them that you should know before deciding which option will work best for you: the effect each has on your body.

Deca is a synthetic form of testosterone, while NPP is natural progesterone.

This means that Deca has the potential to cause more severe side effects than NPP because it is not a naturally occurring hormone.

But overall Deca tends to have more effects on bodybuilding.

The goal of this article was to provide you with the difference between Deca and NPP.

We discussed how each drug affects your joints, as well as possible side effects and legal alternatives for both drugs.

Make sure you always consult with a doctor before starting any new medication or supplement, to ensure that you are choosing the right option for you.

Now it’s up to you to make an informed decision on which drug is best for your individual needs.

Liver Protection

In this article, we will show you our comprehensive guide on cycle supports. These supplements have been created for the sole purpose of keeping you healthy. We will show you what they are and how they work.

Don’t have time to read the full article? Here is a quick recap:

  • Cycle support supplements help you protect your organs
  • They are always needed when using (oral) liver toxic compounds
  • LIVER SHIELD by Anabolica is the best on cycle support – click to inquire
  • They need to be taken the whole course of your cycle

What Is A Cycle Support

A cycle support is a supplement that is used to protect your organs and keep you healthy while being on a cycle of anabolics, prohormones, or any other toxic compound. These compounds cause, most of the time, hepatotoxicity and could seriously damage your organs.

A cycle support will help you protect and restore any damage done by these poisonous compounds.

They are often referred to as a on-cycle support since you use them while you’re on a cycle. Cycle supports are usually taken alongside a cycle, which typically is between 4-12 weeks, but can be longer.

These supplements should not be confused with post cycle therapy(PCT) supplements. PCT Supplements are used to recover your testosterone levels, and cycle supports are used to protect your organs.

Do You Really Need A Cycle Support?

It depends on the type of compound you’re running to decide if you need one. Every oral compound you take has to be processed by your body, through your liver and kidneys.

We all know that most oral anabolics, like Dianabol, Anavar, and Turinabol are liver toxic. Just like prohormones and other oral compounds, your body will need to process it somehow, and this mostly results in some sort of damage.

Anabolic compounds could have serious adverse effects. However, some of them are easily combatted by taking the right supplements. Some side effects that are related to AAS are:

  • Acne
  • Liver & Kidney Toxicity
  • Hair Loss
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Gyno
  • Insomnia
  • Water retention
  • Mood swings

A good on-cycle support supplement will support and help your body against the damage of your organs, lower blood pressure and in some cases, acne & bad cholesterol.

We always advise that you use a cycle support when running these compounds since you never know what you put in your body. This is a typical case of: you better be safe than sorry. Because you really do not want to damage your organs.

How To Take A Cycle Support

Taking a cycle support is very easy and self-explanatory. It would be best to use a cycle support alongside your cycle of anabolic’s or any other compound… and for at least a while after. Honestly, it’s not a bad idea to run liver protection all year long!

Most products require you to take it every day since most ingredients included take a while to build up in your system.

The Best Cycle Support Supplement

When looking for a good cycle support, it’s essential that it at least contains the following ingredients:

  • Milk Thistle (Marian thistle)This plant extract is known to help with protecting your liver and lower blood sugar.
  • NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine)This amino acid works as a powerful antioxidant which can help with detoxification of the kidney and liver.
  • TUDCA (Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid)Researchers found out that this bile acid could help revert liver cirrhosis but also has protective features.

After researching ingredients, effectiveness, price, and quality, we created LIVER SHIELD by Anabolica to be the best on cycle support supplement on the market.

Huge Nutrition’s cycle support contains all the necessary ingredients to help protect and restore your liver and kidneys. It also helps with improving your lipid profile, which is very important when you are running a cycle.

LIVER SHIELD Ingredients:

  • Milk Thistle Extract
  • NAC
  • PIPERINE (Bioenhancer)
  • TUDCA

Pro’s

  • Contains 30 days cycle package
