anabolics with androgens

[PsyT]

if I'm going to run a test base (420mg/ Test prop/week) should I add an anabolic to the mix if my goals are lean mass gains? Would adding an oral like Tbol (which from my research has a high anabolic:androgen ratio) suffice or would NPP be preferred?

I ran test prop a year ago with good results (for 10 weeks gained 16 pounds and kept 12 after my PCT and a month or two later). This time around I want to run the test for much less time, because I think some side effects started to creep up on my the last 3-4 weeks. I'm thinking a 7 week run on test prop with 50-60mg Tbol ED.

I keep reading however that it is imperative for mass gains that you stack test and deca (or NPP), because the latter has such a high anabolic rating. Am I good to go with the Tbol in place of the deca (since I don't want to deal with sides from deca)?

Thanks!

my apologies if this question is too basic. I just found the beginner forum. Can a moderator please send this to the beginner forum (if you don't want more basic questions clogging up this area).

thanks!

Use aromasin and finesteride with your test and you won"t have any sides to worry about.

test and deca or eq would be a little stonger than the tbol I would think but that would work ok. The anabolic helps you grow more than test alone but this was a big thing many years back before the anti-e's and finesteride which blocks the dht conversion all but eliminating long term side effects from test. The anabolics gave you more growth from less test, so less sides. These products do not work with any other aas nearly as well so now test is not only king but also one of the safest aas to use.
