If you’re dedicating yourself to the game, then I’d definitely just up the test. Run your test high with no added compounds, then add primo with your next cycle or the one after. Right now, you can get away with less and still see good results.
Prioritise good sleep and nail the diet according to your goals and you’ll be making all the right decisions. Wish I did when I first started.
If you’re worried about catching the sides late, then run a SERM and keep an AI on hand. I’ve had good results with Raloxifene. As a SERM, it will not reduce the total blood plasma levels of estrogen in the body.
Aromatisation will still happen. This means you will retain water all the same, contributing to your strength gains, but monitor serum levels closely, so you can introduce the AI if necessary. This way you should negate the unwanted sides, like gyno and your hairline receding. Raloxifene is by far better than Nolva/Tamoxifen, imo. There’s studies to back it’s more promising effectiveness in countering these estrogenic side effects.
