Low Test + High NPP/Deca Cycles

NSFW

I'm someone who responds very negatively to side effects from high test, both E2 and DHT. Low libido, acne, hairloss, fatigue etc. Even when taking arimidex to keep E2 in range. Even on 150mg test per week I need an AI badly.

Like others who have this issue, I've found switching to a nandrolone base with very low test gives me the anabolism I need without nearly as much of the sides.

I'm wondering what ratios you guys who do this style of cycle use. Specifically, what test dose has you feeling most optimal in regards to energy, libido, drive etc.

Some guys say they do really low test in the 20-40mg range. Some a bit higher, some even over 100mg.

I struggle to find the test dose that gives me enough drive without causing e2 sides. If I run 50mg a week test with 300NPP, I'll get high e2 sides. If I drop the test I get low e2. I feel I need more than 50mg a week for enough dht to feel optimal.

I know a dht like mast could solve this but I don't have access right now so just trying to dial in test. Perhaps upping test to 100mg while also adding aromasin could give enough dht drive and keep e2 sides down?
