Unique Test/Primo/E2 Base Cycle + EO Experiment

Are you mixing up one single shot at I time?
Yeah I've got a bunch of 20ml sterile vials, so when I started a few weeks ago I prepped 2 of those by adding 15mls of 100mg/ml Primo, 3ml of 250mg/ml test cyp, and 1.5ml of 2mg/ml estradiol valerate. so every week I'll do 2 injections of 3.25ml of that mix and alternate each ventroglute.

As of last week I also added in a shot of 75mg primo and 50mg NPP into a delt 2x/week. so the total is 250 cyp, 650 primo, 100npp and 1mg EV per week.
 
just finished 3rd week, so far no low e2 symptoms (or high)
@ 210mg/420mg Test/Primo and 0.7mg/wk E enanthate

I'll check back in 3 more weeks
I'll be waiting dude, this is going to be interesting with your full layout at the end. Raiders got my interest thinking.
 
Whats good boys -

My bad I know I said I was gonna try to get another hsCRP in but have been so busy throughout the holidays it didn't even cross my mind. Gonna be going back to school in a week and things will finally slow down for me so I'm going to repeat the hsCRP and actually rest the day before, and get some other standard tests.

So I've had the NPP in for a few weeks and I think im gonna drop it. My knee joints haven't improved espeically since I've been starting to integrate more heavy squat variants on my leg days. I have like a tiny lump of gyno on my right nipple (not visually noticeable but it'll feel sore sometimes) from a high npp experiment a while ago and have felt it flare up a bit more as well. I'm instead gonna increase the E2 dose which should hopefully address some of the knee pain.

My plan now (as of 1/5) is to drop the test from 250mg to 200mg, up the primo from 650mg to 800mg, and increase the EV to 1.35mg. Going to get labs done in the next week or two to 1) see my sensitive E2 on 1.35mg/week and 2) get a true inflammation baseline on Primo without EO. Also if theres anything y'all wanna see that I didn't test in my last bloodwork lmk!

Am now weighing ~203lbs fasted at about 11% bf. Have been getting great sleep (~8.5hrs/night) and seen my hrv creep up to ~65ms. I mentioned this in another thread but my Orthostatic Hypotension/POTS has completely disappeared and my BP now averages around ~115/70 and rhr has crept up to ~83bpm, although I'm not too concerned with that after discussing with my cardiologist. I added in 5mg cialis daily and l-citruline preworkout a few weeks ago for better pumps too which has been nice.

Besides the knee pain, everything has been going great so far. Great gym progress, feeling really full but also dry and vascular and really seeing the "primo effect" kick in. Have had a tiny bit of acne flare up on my forehead and shoulders but the low dose accutane + adapalene + benzoyl peroxide has been hella effective in keeping it controlled. For the first few weeks I had essentially no hair shedding, but these past few weeks I've been starting to get a bit of hair falling out (nothing crazy) so I whipped up a new batch of my hair serum I was using my last primo cycle, which is a solution of .15% finasteride, 5% minoxidil, and 5% RU58841. 1ml of that at night completely removed any hair loss so hopefully that stands true as I increase the primo.

Without the labs I know you're not certain, but given the NPP not helping with joints... You think E is low, and reason for increase?

I mention this because it's the same for me with EQ in unison with Deca. It did nothing for me and E/cyp cures it rapidly. In fact it continued to get worse until adding in E.

On my last labs from 3 weeks ago my E2 was as 22pg/ml running 250 test, 500 primo and 1mg EV per week (labs were drawn at trough - 3.5 days after injecting 125mg cyp, 250mg primo and 0.5mg EV).

I felt good/still feel good on 1mg/week - my sex drive is amazing, great gains, no bloating, no emotional issues/mood swings. I think that it could just be that even though my E2 is technically in range, it is "relatively low" to the amount of androgens I'm on. I've heard a lot of reputable guys say they are comfortable letting there E2 get up to like 50-60 on higher dose cycles to mimic a realistic androgen:estrogen ratio. I'm not aware of any actual science that backs this lmao but I figured I'd let it rise a bit and see if anything changes.

I think my joints might be more of a result of me pushing myself so hard... I've been feeling so good I haven't taken a single rest day since starting the cycle and have been doing 30-45mins on the elliptical every morning. A few weeks ago I started in adding more sets of heavy squats/leg press and I don't think that's helping lmao but I love squatting so I'd like to keep pushing the weight. If it were a true joint issue I'd imagine I'd feel it in my elbows too, but my elbows feel great when benching. But still I'm gonna raise the EV a bit and see if it helps, regardless I'd like to see my E2 ~30 anyways.

Understood, yeah I've mentioned this before and I'm a firm believer in estrogen load to androgen load needing to be balanced. In heavy cycles I'll see upwards of 80ish and feel great, so your on to that perfectly. Obviously absent negative sides.

Reason I took strong interest in this cycle you're running. I think if more people venture this way we will see true perspective. Mine won't be with primo but instead EQ.

For real, if I wasn't lucky enough to have a good primo stash I'd be using eq too:D

I'm a strong believer in this way of running a cycle (using trt with an AI-like anabolic and an estrogen base) because it takes all the estrogen guesswork/management out and lets more refined steroids build muscle. It also offers a lot more freedom to change/increases dosages without E2 sides especially for guys that are low aromatizers and get their E2 crushed on any amount of primo/eq. Love to see that more bros are doing this too! Would love to see this way of cycling become more mainstream. @BALLISTIC if you run a similar cycle with eq please keep me updated, if this primo shortage keeps up I'll probably be doing the same:)
 
Started at .4mg 2x weekly estradiol cyp this week. Current cycle is 420 test 250 eq 100 npp week 4 my lcms e2 was 11. Added npp at week 8 and e2 went to 15. Will get bloods next week. Eq has a heavy effect on my e2. Not expecting a whole lot with .8mg ec but interested to see where it puts me.
 
Just got my E Cyp delivered. Currently 4 weeks into Test C 250/Bold C 400 and I've been struggling to keep up with low E2 combining HCG and Dbol without going overboard (I was initially doing T400/B300 and decided it was more androgens than I needed and I always did well with low test cycles in the past). Just pulled E1/E2 and test bloods this morning but I know my E2 was trashed so I'll be fine. Gonna see where 1mg/week lands me and adjust from there - usually I feel great with E2 in the 50's but I wanna keep running 10mg/day of dbol so 1mg/week might be enough while I'm still on dbol.
 
Hey everyone,

So as I have mentioned in other threads - a few weeks ago I started my blast, and I'd like to use this thread to document my dosages, bloodwork, gains, etc. I'm doing something a bit unorthodox and going to be using an estrogen base throughout the cycle so I'll document my experiences with that because there doesn't seem to be a lot of information/experience out about that. Also I'll be running half the cycle using primo without EO and the other half using primo with EO so I'll document my inflammatory markers and pinning experiences on both.

This cycle design is gonna consist of a base of 250mg test cyp/week, along with varying amounts of primo(initially at 500mg/week), an estrogen base(1mg of Estradiol Valerate/week), periodic use of anavar with the goal of bringing up lagging muscles, and lastly 4-6iu of GH.

A bit of background: I'm fairly new to AAS use - I've been on hormone replacement for nearly a year now, and have run 3 small cycles + cruises throughout that time. I have experience using both primobolan and anavar - my 2nd cycle I ran test/primo at a 1:1 ratio which I'd say is the best cycle I've ran, but I crashed my E2 pretty much instantly to 0 (which in hindsight I should have seen coming given how low of an aromatizer I am:oops:). Instead of raising the test, I opted to add in an estrogen base (in the form of injectable Estradiol Valerate) and use that cycle as an opportunity to experiment and dial in the exact dosage of EV I'd need to keep my E2 where I want it. So after confirming my E2 crashed to low single digits on just test/primo with a LCMS E2 blood test, I started off by adding 0.5mg EV/week which put my E2 at 18pg/ml, and then bumped up to 1mg EV/week to get my E2 to 37pg/ml (both confirmed by LCMS E2). Once I got that dialed in, the cycle was fantastic and I made the best + most consistent progress I think I ever have. I also felt the best I ever have on cycle too, I've found I feel the best on primo - always in a good mood, no anger/excess CNS stimulation, better focus and motivation.

I plan to break this cycle into two phases - first a lean bulk phase and second a fat loss phase. I won't set any hard deadlines, but my best guess is I'll run the lean bulk from Dec - March(aiming for a 250-500cal surplus), and then transition to fat loss from April - May however It'll all be dependent on how much fat I gain during the bulk. I'd like to end the fat loss phase at ~8% bodyfat and don't want to have to diet over a 750cal deficit so I'll make adjustments to the program as I go to make sure I reach my goal. This cycle I'm gonna keep my test at 250mg/week and let primo be the main driver of hypertrophy. My plan is to start at 500mg/week, and maybe increase it down the road if progress stagnates during the bulk or if I start to lose strength during the diet. I've been making great progress these first few weeks on 500mg so hopefully that doesn't change, but I'm very fortunate to have a ton of primo so I have no problem adding a bit more. Hopefully this log can serve as a good measure of how effective primo on its own is at building muscle, given most primo cycle logs feature high doses of test as well.

As far as sourcing/EO - I have plenty of both 100mg/ml and 200mg/ml primo(only BA/BB, no EO) from primal, 200mg/ml primo(with EO) from primal(resold from China), and 200mg/ml primo(with EO) from WWB. And test cyp 250mg/ml from primal(no EO). I'm currently using the 100mg/ml no EO from primal. My plan is to alternate between sources every 4 weeks, and get lab work/inflammatory markers checked at each switch. I'm lucky enough to have a good amount of spare cash lying around and buying labs is no problem, so if there's any other inflammatory test other than hsCRP/CBC/Fibriogen, or other tests in general you guys would like to see lmk!

Also if any of the more experienced guys have any critiques/recommendations to adjusting dosages, ancillaries, or anything in general I'm all ears! Like I said, although I feel I'm well educated in AAS, I'm still fairly new to the game and would like to do whatever I can to optimize my health and gains.

Do you by any chance have IGF and Z score pre and post e2cyp?

I've tested twice now, once on Tesa and 2nd on 10 IU HGH and my results are really bad, I'm starting to wonder if it's something to do with poor conversion of IGF from injecting e2cyp or high doses of E2 reducing AAS.

SERMS reduce IGF1..
Low levels of e2 reduce IGF1..

My Z score on both occasions are close to -2..Tesa from SSA, GH from Q..

Yes, I've got bloodwork posted following a mini cycle I ran a few months ago(no inj. estradiol)- https://thinksteroids.com/community/threads/test-tren-mast-var-bloods.134433120/

I was doing 4-6iu GH here and had an IGF1 of 237. For me personally I always see my IGF1 ~200-250 which is like a 0 - +1 z score for a 21yo. And before that cycle, on just trt with no GH, my igf1 was 195.

Just curious, what are you running? I know that E2 plays a big part in serum IGF1 but I also know there are so many variables that can impact it. I don't even really pay much attention to my IGF1 after hearing about how chaseirons had an IGF1 of like 200 on 18 IUs of serostim.

1g+ EQ
300 tra
Daily tne100 pwo
crap load of inj orals
10iu gh

And 1mg e2c lol
 
high doses of E2 reducing AAS
I got my E2 up to 127 pg/ml on 4.2mg/w of e2c on accident when first trialing. IGF1 of 317 on that blood work at 5iu of rhGH p/d.

Next bloodwork where e2c was not in and no longer in system, IGF1 of 326 on same 5iu p/d.

Dam, means i got something else going on..
Thank for sharing,

As far as I’m aware, only oral e2 reduces HGH conversion to IGF-1 in the liver due to the way it’s metabolized. Inj. E2 shows no difference in IGF1 from the studies I remember.

I crashed mine to 0 and am running solely on e2c..now
