ive only ever ran test and deca, i held alot of water on it.
I want to try test npp and something else
Kinda going for a more dry look but want to still up in size and strength any recommendations on what would go good with a test and npp stack?
Moving from Deca to NPP is already a huge step in the right direction for keeping water retention down, since NPP clears your system much faster and doesn't bloat you up the same way long-ester Deca does.
Since you want a dry look while still packing on size and strength without adding back that heavy water weight, the absolute best compound to throw into a Test and NPP stack is Masteron (either Propionate or Enanthate depending on your pin frequency). Masteron acts as a mild anti-estrogen and cosmetic agent, completely scrubbing away that smooth, watery look and hardening up your muscle density.
Alternatively, if you prefer an oral, a 4-week kickstart with Turinabol at around 30mg a day works wonders for dry size and strength without estrogenic bloat.
The only thing to watch out for is that Mast and quality NPP can sometimes be heavily underdosed or swapped out on the market. If you need a reliable, trusted source to grab clean compounds that won't ruin your recomp, Google 10xmuscle, good people, helped me a lot when I was trying to dial in my dry stack.
Drop the Deca mindset, keep your estrogen tightly controlled, add in some Mast, and you'll get that grainy, dry look you're aiming for. Good luck!
