I’m looking at doing another cycle soon, and have been poking around my usual online retailer looking at the various compounds. I’m planning on doing another high dose Primo run (with test of course), but I’m trying to decide what to run with it and I keep coming back to dbol (or anadrol).
I’ve never used dbol due to it’s reputation for adding lots of water weight, but I recall reading somewhere about guys using it with a good AI or SERM to control the e2. My question is, has anyone done this and what were your results? Running it with an AI or SERM would hopefully minimize water gain, but that makes me curious what (if any) the resulting weight and strength gains would be like. I’ve never used drol either, but I threw it in here since they act similarly with regards to water weight (different mechanisms, I know; but similar in water weight).
I’m also considering using anavar (haven’t used that stuff in 20+ years) since I can pick that up pretty cheap where I am. I’m not looking to gain a ton of weight, looking more for a decent comp shift plus maybe 10 pounds or so with a strength bump, so anavar may be the better choice. I’ll leave the question open though, to satisfy my curiosity.
I’ve never had a problem with dbol personally. I use a low dose nolva regimen when running compounds that heavily aromatize and that’s kept and gyno issues at bay. My face gets puffy on dbol but that’s about it. I recently ran tbol and man that stuff is cool. Only quality gains there but they didn’t seem to stick much either.
This is similar to the blast I’m planning as we speak. Trt dose of test, primo at dose undecided, dbol at 20mg/d for six weeks, four weeks off, then finish at 10mg/d for the last six. On this blast I would need no AI and i doubt the water retention would be even noticeable.
If you use 50mg/d then yeah, expect some bloat. But I argue it’s not necessary at that dose if your plan is for a longer cycle that seeks to add real, appreciable size.
Tbol has been my go-to oral for the last few years. I like the stuff (aside from the back pumps), but I’m looking to try something different. Thinking I’ll go with anavar for this one, but still looking at options.
My current plan is Primo 700mg/week, Test E dose undecided (minimum 250, probably more like 375 or 500), anavar (undecided but most likely) at 50mg/day, for 8 weeks. I know everyone says a primo cycle needs to be longer duration, but pretty much everyone I’ve seen say that was using 200-400mg/wk. At 700/week I saw much better results, and they stalled at about the 8 week mark (both previous high-dose primo cycles have been 12 weeks).
