I run a lot of DNP, sometimes off AAS, sometimes while on, and sometimes just before.
It always seems to 'prime' me or 'reset' me for new growth to occur.
I haven't noticed much of a difference as far as timing goes.
If you do it right at the beginning of a cycle, you may not like the way you look,
since your muscles will be a little flat but you may still be holding water.
It takes a good 10-14 days for me to lose all the water weight from a DNP run.
The protocol I like best as far as results and looking/feeling decent the whole time is this:
IGF1(really helps keep you full, which really helps during training since DNP sucks the glucose right out of you)
50mg tren EOD (low dose, just enough to hold on to mass while running DNP
5-7 days after last DNP cap, begin higher dosed, short ester AAS cycle.
^this is what has worked best for me. The DNP flattens and depletes you, but much less when the IGF1 is in there,
very shortly after the DNP is done, you blast yourself with anabolics and watch your body suck in nutrients like
a vacuum. My body just seems to absorb whatever I put in it once the DNP is over.
If using all long ester gear, you could start the DNP at the same time as the AAS. I think it will help you grow and
get better results than if you didn't run DNP at all, but I don't think you will experience the full 'super compensation'
effect you may have read about.
Going from a glucose depleted watery mess to an entirely anabolic environment practically overnight makes for some
very visible daily changes in your physique.
