"Test Prop + low-dose Masteron for a short cut, BPC-157 oral alongside?"

Posted by runner_aaron in Protocols & Stacks - 1 points, 4 comments.

Howzit. Thinking through a 8 week cut and want to run Test Prop EOD with low-dose Masteron Prop, trying to stay dry and keep some hardness while I drop body fat. Injection every 2-3 days on the Masteron makes sense to me, I just want to keep PIP low tbh.

Recovery has been nagging me, I had an ankle thing earlier this year that I ran BPC-157 oral for and it seemed to help. So I'm thinking of bringing it back alongside this cycle, oral morning and night around my training.

Couple things I'm not sure on: do I actually need an AI on board at these doses, or can I get away without one since Masteron has that mild anti-e thing going? And is there any point throwing TB-500 in as well, or is that overkill if BPC is already in the mix?

Bloodwork before and after, obviously. Not looking for a dose for me specifically, more the general thinking. What are you guys running when you stack these?

  • jared501: Appreciate the breakdown, the ankle thing is why I am interested in this stuff too so I have been reading a lot about BPC lately. From what I have seen, BPC-157 and TB-500 tend to get mentioned together a lot but the mechanisms seem kinda different, BPC is more about tendon and ligament healing locally while TB-500 seems to act more systemically on actin and could help with range of motion stuff. So stacking them is not crazy if your ankle is still iffy, but if it is mostly healed it might be ov
  • runner_aaron: Yeah that lines up with what I've been reading too. My ankle is mostly sorted now but it still gets a bit niggly on heavy squats, so leaning towards just running the BPC oral again since it helped last time. Adding TB-500 feels like overkill if the BPC is already doing its thing, but curious if anyone has actually stacked both for a cranky ankle specifically. On the AI side, tbh I'm torn. Bloods pre-cycle will probably make the call for me, but I've seen a few guys run low-dose Test Prop with M
  • tiredmira: Honestly the BPC vs TB-500 distinction makes sense to me too, BPC felt more localized in my experience and I never tried TB-500 so I can't compare. For your ankle though, if it's mostly healed I would probably just stick with one and not stack unless something is still nagging. On the AI question, you cut off but yeah, Masteron at low dose is not a free pass on e2 management 😅. I'd get bloodwork mid-cycle either way and decide from the numbers, not from what guys say online.
  • runner_aaron: Fair enough on the AI point, mid-cycle bloods is the move. I was hoping to dodge the AI tbh but yeah, Masteron isn't a free pass, I hear you. With the ankle it's been maybe 4 months since I stopped the BPC, no real niggle now, so I'll probably just keep BPC oral in and skip the TB-500. Did your BPC use give you any weird gut stuff at higher doses? I remember mine was fine at 250mcg twice a day but I never pushed it.
