Let's just say you definitely aren't wrong in that assumption, haha. "Paralysis by analysis" is a phrase that sums up at least 60% of my personality. But I hear you on the trial and error approach.
I do sincerely appreciate the advice. If I could find a way to dial in my test:EQ:mast ratio to mimic the effects of primo with the approach you've suggested, that would be a game-changer for both the physique and wallet. I do enjoy the vascularity and endurance boost of EQ, which is a nice cherry on top. Once I gain the privilege, I will go back and upvote your responses. Thanks again, man.
