Same thing right, the only difference is ester? Injection frequency,,, is there any other reasons some would prefer one over the other ?
 
If you know you respond well to Deca, run Deca. If you are a newbie to nandrolones run NPP so if you have sides, you can come off. If not, you can switch to Deca. Water retention in the two are more related to diet from my experience especially if you inject deca ED to keep blood levels stable. You will notice more retention the less you inject frequency wise which is what many people experience.

Great info bro, I’m going to try NPP first see how I do, if all is well I’ll switch to Deca, my diet is low to no carb anyway, also isn’t tren a nandrolone aswell? I’m on 700mg/wk with zero sides so I might be the few who respond well

Yes, Tren is a 19-nor too

If you're running 700 of Tren a week and have no sides, got bless you.

700mg/week? Damn we back in the 90's and early 2000's? lol You aren't messing around!

Yes, it's a nandro, but doen't mean you will react well with Deca/NPP. Plent of guys react well to one and not the other. That's why it's cool to start with NPP and switch over just in case. Plus deca takes a while to saturate while NPP hits much quicker.
 
I like em both and run Deca year round at a therapeutic dosage and so far bloods come back good.

Dave Crosswell explains the main difference is (im paraphrasing)

With NPP- the results are quicker but the amount of nandrolone doesnt peak as high (in the blood) as it does for classic deca, With deca- nandrolone peaks higher but it takes way longer for full saturation.

Curious on this and doesn't mean he was wrong, but was wondering if it was ester weight like Tren A is more per mg than Hex. But put it into SteriodPlotter.....NPP peaks higher

That's not true in the least.
 
I use NPP over deca, maybe bias because the few times I used deca I got terrible acne even form different brands so it made my cycles absolutely miserable. NPP daily pins at 600 mg weekly was euphoria with only insane night sweats lol. Other than that much quicker and drier gains on NPP for sure.

If my memory is correct he says the information from most steroid plotters online are false if you want granular data. But useful is your are a gym bro trying to get a sense of the ester weight differences when running a cycle
 
I've used nandrolone a time or two over the years and pin NPP and Deca at the same time, at cycle doses, and drop the NPP after 3 weeks.

* side note, I pin the NPP EOD and the Deca weekly on one of my NPP pin days.
 
Id say npp . I used to love it . Fast no front loading etc …. Crazy libido… sides subside fairly quickly once you drop or taper down if you get in trouble.. i did get pretty puffy though why i dont fool with it these days .my avatar pic from 2017 pretty hefty npp and dbol blast .was 298 lbs just kept getting bigger and bigger I couldn’t even put my damn shoes on anymore waaay overkill ..imma Tren base and ace guy now ..240 on 260 off just gotta try find what works for you !!

NPP feels and produces a different look than decanoate. In addition to what everyone else has said, these are my own anecdotal experiences with the two:

- NPP pairs better with test than decanoate and results in less aromatization

- NPP producers a drier, sharper look, as if it were more androgenic

- With nandrolone decanoate, prolactin becomes an issue at doses >500mg/week

- I never have prolactin issues on NPP at any dose. I’ve used as much as 200mg/day.

- Nandrolone decanoate is better for the joint lubrication effect

- Although I don’t recommend this as I don’t know the potential health effects, I have paired NPP with dutasteride. Dutasteride is a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor. NPP 5 alpha reduces to dihydranandrolone, a much less androgenic hormone. By blocking 5ar, the NPP cannot alpha reduce into the less androgenic hormone. This in turn makes it more androgenic and produces a tren like look and feel but without the trenbolone sides, like insomnia.

- I prefer to run either as a base or solo, as opposed to a secondary compound. Example: 150mg/day NPP + 5mg test prop (for estrogen)
