Hey guys, has anyone here actually experimented with a low test/high primo setup and just supplemented E2 on the side? I was thinking about something like 300mg test and maybe 500-1000mg primo, but then adding in 3-4mg of estrogen to balance things out.
I remember reading a post a while back where someone was planning to test this out, but I can't seem to find it anymore. What would a cycle like that even feel like? Is it actually worth the hassle, or am I overthinking it?
man that sounds like a massive amount of primo lol. 1000mg is gonna be expensive as hell if its real. honestly if you're already doing 300mg test you might not even need the extra e2 pills unless you're a really low aromatizer. but definitely keep them on hand because primo will dry you out fast.
i remember that post! the guy said he felt "flat" until he added the estrogen back in. its a weird science project for sure but some people swear by it for that dry grainy look without the low e2 depression. just be careful with the dosing because oral e2 hits different than what your body makes naturally.
why not just bump the test up a bit instead of popping e2 pills? seems like a lot of extra variables to manage. i usually find that a 1:1 or 1:1.5 ratio of test to primo is the sweet spot without needing to add anything else to the mix.
i tried high primo once and my hair started thinning like crazy- just a heads up if ur prone to that. the cycle itself felt amazing though, super clean gains and zero bloat. i didnt add e2 but i wish i had some dbol or something because my joints started clicking after week 6.
1000mg primo is a lot of oil to pin every week lol. you better have some big glutes! as for the e2, just start low. 4mg might actually be too much and then you'll be dealing with spicy nipples and water retention. start with 1mg and see how u feel.
that sounds like an expensive experiment but probably feels amazing lol. primo at 1000mg is some serious cosmetic gains but yeah your e2 would be in the dirt without some help. why not just bump the test up instead of pinning actual estrogen?
i've seen a few guys on the boards talk about this. the logic is that you get the "dry" look from the high primo without the joint pain and depression from low e2. honestly sounds like a lot of micromanagement though- one wrong dose and you're either bloated or crying at commercials haha.
bro 1000mg of primo?? your wallet is gonna be lighter than your physique. but seriously i tried something similar with 200 test and 600 primo and i had to add dbol just to keep my estrogen up. adding straight e2 could work but it’s tricky to dose right.
honestly it sounds like a lot of extra variables to mess with. if you can get the e2 dialed in though i bet the mental clarity is top tier. primo is the feel-good king for a reason. just be careful with the bloodwork because that much primo can sneaky crush your hdl.
ive done high primo with a "test base" but never added exogenous estrogen. i usually just run the test high enough to offset the primo's anti-estrogen effect. its a legendary look for sure- super grainy and hard. if you actually try the e2 pills/gel let us know how it goes!
