I'm starting to plan out my second cycle and could use some input. My first run was 700 mg of Test for 16 weeks, and I threw in 20 mg of Anavar for the final 8 weeks.
For this next one, I’m looking at a 20-week blast. I was originally just going to stick with 700 mg of Test and add Primo, but I’ve been seeing so much about how well Deca packs on size that I’m tempted to mix things up. I was thinking of running something like 700 Test, 300 Primo, and 300 Deca. Does that sound like a solid plan?
On my first cycle, I had almost zero side effects and realized I don't aromatize much - I barely even touched an AI. Because of that, I’m actually a little nervous about pushing the Primo too high. I’m not totally sure if these ratios are right, or if I should just introduce things one at a time. Maybe run the Primo for the first 10 weeks to see how I react, and then bring in the Deca for the last 10? Let me know what you guys think.
that’s a lot to throw in at once for a second run tbh. if it were me i’d pick one add on and see how it treats you before stacking everything. primo is pretty chill and easy to read, deca can get weird with libido and mood for some people. also 20 weeks that heavy is gonna creep up on you even if sides were low last time. i’d keep it simpler and actually learn something from it instead of guessing what’s doing what
man 700 test for a first cycle is a monster dose lol but if you handled it with no sides then you definitely have some solid genetics for this. if you dont aromatize much you gotta be super careful with that primo though because it acts like a sneaky ai and will absolutely crater your e2 if you arent careful. 300 primo might actually be enough to crush your estrogen into the dirt since you already stay dry so i wouldnt go any higher than that to start.
honestly that’s a lot to throw in at once for a second run. not saying it won’t “work” but if something feels off you’re gonna have no clue what’s causing it. deca especially can be weird for some people even if test treated you fine.
i’d personally pick one and actually learn it. like 700 test + 300 primo if you wanna stay cleaner, or 700 + 300 deca if you’re chasing size. doing both at once sounds cool on paper but you won’t know what’s doing what and deca especially can sneak in weird sides outta nowhere.
since you want that deca size i'd honestly say just run the test and deca first and keep the primo on the sidelines for now. deca is amazing for packing on mass but it can be sneaky with the mental side effects and progestin issues so you want to know exactly how you handle it. plus if you aren't an aromatizer the deca might actually give you a little bit of that "full" look without needing an AI at all. 20 weeks is a long time to be guessing what’s going on with your bloodwork so just keep it simple man—add one thing at a time so you actually know what works for your body!
man id probably pump the brakes a little because going from “first cycle was basically test” straight into test primo deca for 20 weeks is how dudes end up playing hormone sudoku halfway through. just because side effects were chill the first time doesn’t mean adding multiple new compounds stays simple. i’d honestly rather learn primo or deca separately first so if your dick mood or bloodwork starts acting haunted you actually know who the culprit is.
if your first cycle was low side effects and you barely needed an AI that already tells you your response is pretty dialed in, so personally i’d be more cautious about changing too many variables at once. a lot of guys end up wishing they had run things separately first just so they actually understand how each compound hits them before combining them all.
if you already barely aromatize then yeah i’d probably be cautious with primo too because some guys get dry and flat way faster than expected
