Bingo. Most of the people on this fourm confuse fat and water gain with muscle haha. Test alone is garbage. Exactly why everyone says “stack it with something, regardless of what something may be” for me, I like EQ with it.
And who is telling you test alone is garbage? Where are you getting this info from?
Everything made after testosterone was also made to be better and more tissue selective as well as less androgenic and more anabolic. Why? Simply because testosterone is more androgenic and not as anabolic. If test were so immaculate, you’d see guys turning pro on test only or test and oral. But you don’t
Correct and they all serve a purpose for specific situations. For example, Oxandrolone was invented for muscle wasting patients like individuals with hiv. It's also still used for burn patients in the ICU and for patients with liver damage.
Anadrol is still used for in the EU for anemic patients.
Primobolan is still used in the EU for children adults that suffer with anemia due to bone marrow failure.
The only drug that has been studied and doses pushed higher medically on muscle building on human trials is testosterone. This is a fact.
I have a couple friends that are high level competitive athletes in the NPC and a couple in the Ifbb and they use solely testosterone year round (Offseason) because it's the least damaging on their lipids. Only then in a preparation other drugs are incorporated closer to a show. If you think for one second you will do 600mg a week in 2x 300mg shots weekly and not expect sides from the influx jump in hormones you are mistaken. Split the injection frequency more often and watch what will happen.
What doses of test plus primo did you use to get better results than just solo high test? I ask because test + primo is my next planned blast. I have maxed out on what test alone can do for me up 750mg a week. I really don’t think a gram of solo test will provide better gains now than staking two compounds. I’m planning 600-700mg test cyp with 500mg primo a week.
Been there done that.
Effective good dose is something like 600mg of testosterone and 400-500mg of Primobolan.
Also, how is your injection frequency, how is your diet, how is your recovery, are you training maximal intensity, are you deloading to give your body a break? Alot to reconsider before adding another compound. How is your estrogen levels? If too high you will bloat and feel soft, if too low you will feel flat and like shit. Adding Primo if you already have lower e2 will crush it.
No one has been able to explain to me what is so bad about running exemestane at only 12.5mg twice a week with TRT. My lipids always come back good. I think the hysteria over AI’s is ridiculous. As long as someone isn’t using an AI to drop their estrogen to an unhealthy level, what is the big deal? If you know something I don’t, then please enlighten me.
Aromatise inhibitors longterm will destroy lipids, cause joint issues, etc... Try adjusting your injection frequency first, are you having symptoms, Gyno? Mood issues? If not why are you touching it? Higher estrogen helps with HDL too.
Aromasin is a newer generation AI
My e2 on 100mg of testosterone is 60 and I feel awesome. Back then I use to purposely lower estrogen because my e2 was out of range and my doctor educated me and told me not to do this now. Also Estrogen helps burn fat and build muscle.
