Short primo cycle

[ve79]

I been running primo E 400mg a week for 9 weeks . I can't go anymore. It fucking stings and I get knots. I have gotten good results but it's been tough. Do you think 8bweeks is too short for primo or should I suck it up and continue another 3 weeks ?

I feel like you are cutting it out right when it’s getting ready to shine. I’m guessing you’re taking 200mg/ml?

If you’re planning on just 3 weeks more, the question you should ask yourself is, is the PIP affecting my ability to train/function in the gym or outside of the gym? That’s a question only you can answer, but if the answer is yes, just as with any steroid, if the side effects are keeping you from effective progress you should drop em. This could be PIP, eating/stomach problems, anxiety, sleep, etc. all things that need to be managed as best as they can be on cycle.

With only 3 weeks left, some suggestions could be:

1. Have extra MCT/GSO on hand to dilute the primo, making it less concentrated

2. Only run Primo 100mg/ml, assuming you’re running 200mg/ml now

3. Lower volume shots, higher frequency. That way there is less primo per shot

4. For me, I like heating the oil up a bit and sometimes I even take a hot shower before injections to relax the my body/the area I’m injecting. I do this mainly on cycle when I’m pinning 2ml’s no matter the compound. While entirely anecdotal, it has seemed to help.

These are all suggestions that could be helpful for a future run.

I'm running 400mg and yes it has made workouts a bit difficult

Try mixing taking it with your test in the same barrel. Please tell me your running test with it.

What's your total cycle?

What I was asking specifically is the concentration. For example, 200mg/ml is 2ml or cc per week, whereas 100mg/ml is 4ml or cc per week.
EDIT: in order to be at 400mg each week

Many people run into issues with higher concentration AAS whether it’s Primo, Test E, etc…

Also, I assume you are running test, but maybe not since you didn’t understand my initial question, possibly a language barrier? Nonetheless, @MadaFacor is giving sound advice that I assumed you’re following anyways.

If it's impacting your quality of life and workouts, just drop it.

We take drugs to improve our performance (in and out of the gym), not hinder it.

You can always bump your test up a bit to compensate the total mg once you drop it.

I fucked off Primo completely cause of the PIP. fuck that shit, rather just do EQ or Mast. Pricey for nothing lmao

Some good suggestions here. I also suffered from primo pip early on (taking 400mg/wk @ 200mg/mL concentration). Here's what helped me:

1. Split the dose Monday, Wednesday, Friday. You can do daily to make the dose even smaller.
2. Mix it with my test. Draw the test into the syringe first, change needles to avoid cross contamination then draw the amount of primo you want. Roll (don't shake) the syringe between your palms.
3. Submerge the syringe, needle first (cap on!) into a cup of warm water then set the cup on a coffee warmer for 15 mins. I leave the drawing needle on. Water has never gotten into the needle housing but I'd rather not take chances with the needle that's going into my body.
4. Inject right before my daily fasted cardio. I inject into my L/R VG and L/R VL rotating in a Z pattern so I'm not hitting the same leg 2 injections in a row. The cardio helps bloodflow and distribution of the depot.
5. I don't do this anymore as it's not necessary but you can try massaging the area around the injection site (not directly on the site) to help distribute the oil.

As someone said already, the whole reason to take primo is for the week 8-12 results. Don't quit now unless it's absolutely intolerable (in which case I wonder why you even held on this long?) and you've exhausted all remedies.

Good luck bud.

I dont think you'll see much from 3 extra weeks on 400mg primo. Find a few compound that works for you and rely on that.

Over two years running primo, I have no pip.

I can only speculate. Maybe I've desensitized, maybe I relax and place the shots smoother, maybe there's more muscle to handle the shot.

I dunno. I did a 50mg primo shot in my left delt two days ago and it's fine. (200/ml conc.)

I'm going to split it 4 days 100 mg each Wich will be half a cc . Good call out thank you

What brand are you running? The Primo I have doesn't give me any problems 200mg/ml.

Of course test always

GA and yes I I heard all the stories

Primo takes at least 6 weeks just for it to stabilize and feel it working, from my experience.

Not to be a dick but I don’t think 9 weeks is / was a smart idea. Personally I’d lower the dose to 200mg weekly and double the length of your cycle.

My favorite cycle ever was lower dose Primo and Test (3:1 ratio Test/Primo) for 20 weeks. The slow and steady is where it shines imo.

My e2 gets high at 300mg of test

My e2 gets high at 300mg of test

I don't like cycling no more than 12 weeks

 

[Ouch]

It shouldn’t with the Primo added to it though

 

[Grey Spartan]

Why?

As long as your blood work, mental health, and sexual function is good why would you do old school short cycles?
