im trying to figure out what to do for my second cycle since my first one went so well. last time i ran 700mg of test for 16 weeks and then threw in 20mg of anavar for the last 8 weeks and honestly it was great. i barely had any side effects and it turns out i dont really aromatize that much so i didnt even need to touch an AI really
so now im looking at doing 20 weeks this time around. i was thinking about just doing the 700 test again with some primo but then i keep seeing people talk about how much mass you can pack on with deca. i was thinking maybe doing a mix like 700 test with 300 primo and 300 deca but i dont know if thats a good idea or not. since i dont get high estrogen easily im actually kinda scared to push the primo too high and crash my levels. do you think i should just run them both at once or maybe do 10 weeks of primo first to see how i feel and then add the deca for the second half? let me know what you guys reckon about the ratios because i dont want to mess up a good thing since my first cycle was so easy lol
if it was me i’d probably just run the 700 test again and add one compound only, either primo or deca. primo if you wanna stay lean and safe, deca if you’re okay risking a bit more for size. doing both at once just makes it harder to know what’s doing what.
i made that mistake early on trying to run everything at once and ended up chasing sides instead of progress lol.
if your first cycle already treated you that well i wouldnt be in a rush to stack everything just because you feel good right now. deca especially can sneak up on people way later in the run and then you dont even know which compound is doing what. primo is usually way easier to read so mixing both at once kind of kills that “learn your body” advantage you still have. sometimes the best move is just repeating a good cycle with small tweaks instead of trying to upgrade it into something complicated and hoping it still feels as smooth.
700 test alone is already a strong base, and adding both primo and deca at once kind of pulls things in opposite directions hormonally so it can get messy faster than people expect. primo can make things feel a bit “dry” while deca can push the opposite way, and then you end up chasing how you feel week to week instead of just progressing
