Doing my 1st Test Cycle

[SkinnyKenny]

39/M 5'10 158 lbs (Turn 40 in a couple months)

I’m starting a cycle of 200 mg Test C and 125 mg Primobolan per week (starting low and easing into it). I just finished a 6-week oral-only stack of 40 mg Turinabol and a prohormone testosterone. This will be my first time pinning, so I’m a bit nervous and have some questions about injection methods.


I plan to inject the Primo intramuscularly (delt or glute) once a week. For the Test C, I’m thinking of splitting the dose — 100 mg on Monday and 100 mg on Thursday.


From your experience, is there a big difference between IM and SubQ injections for Test C? I’ve heard SubQ provides a slower release that helps smooth out the peaks and valleys you get with IM injections

IDK maybe I'm just looking for reassurance if SubQ will work but if I'm missing a huge benefit to using IM instead please let me know

Any input is appreciated

Pin both IM and at least twice per week. More frequent injections will help with a steadier state.

Bump your test up to 300mg weekly, this way you'll get a better feel without any confusion, between mixed signals, placebo and so on.
Plus 300 is a pretty mild and modest dosage.

You gentlemen are awesome. I really appreciate your expertise on this

I think your plan for your cycle is very doable. At those doses i notice a difference not as big a difference as a gram makes but still noticeable.
For the amount you are injecting IM may be better. I do daily sub-q injects these days and have for years. But by the time i get to a 1/2 ml sub-q inject i can get a lump and irritation.

I appreciate you taking time out of your day to share your knowledge and experience. Great information there

Curious why the primo as opposed to a more anabolic compound?

I too was thinking about a similar first cycle but decided to up the t and check labs at about 60 days to see how I respond to the higher dose (from cruise at 140mg/week trt).

Primo will significantly reduce your estradiol. Do you know where your baseline e2 is?

Mine was already low (15) from trt only dosing so I opted to skip the primo this cycle.

I'm saving the primo for a higher test cycle later on. Or when I check mid cycle labs, hopefully the test brings my e2 up a little... Will see next month.

My plan now (for my second cycle) is likely going to be npp and test. Seems to be that's better for adding size.

Also curious of you're exit strategy? Are you planning to continue a trt dose after you're done? It have you figured out how you want to pct?

Lab work as well. Do you already have baseline labs? When do you plan to do the follow up?

Baseline e2 was 22 pg

I’m not opposed to more anabolic compounds in the future. What attracted me to primo was the low side effects. The quality lean muscle is also a plus.

For the PCT I was planning on a 4 week cycle of 50 mg of clomid and 40 mg of nolvadex (split does).

I stick to intramuscular for my test cyp. I tried subcutaneous years ago but the site swelling sucked. I feared it would build scar tissue over my abs, blurring the definition.

Youre a legend, brother. Thanks for the help
