Low Dose Test + Primo Long Term

37 years old - started going back to the gym 1 year ago. Brought my bfp from 43-31.

I started trt in March of this year. My T levels were 167 so I’m prescribed test.

Due to my still high bf I aromatize easily. Doing research - and then experimenting taking 100mg of test cyp and 100 mg of primo every 4 days makes me feel amazing.

Bloodwork shows estradiol is in check while on this regimen.

I’m not looking for crazy results - just steady energy and an edge while I’m shedding fat / building muscle in the gym.

On keto now - most of the fat loss / muscle gain has been from March

I just want to hear yalls opinion on running this long term.

So which is it? Are you on TRT or are you taking Test/Primo? Please clarify.

FWIW you went from an unhealthy lifestyle as obese to now an unhealthy lifestyle of using PEDs. Why not just utilize TRT and proper training/nutrition to get to a healthy BF and more desirable physique?

I started trt in March. Due to my high bf I aromatize more.

I feel better and am getting great results with the keto diet 100mg test and 100 mg primo every 4 days.

So yes I’m on primo and test

I am focusing on diet and exercise now.

I guess the main question - as long as I keep my diet and exercise on point - does running primo at a low dose long term cause problems?

There is no info on what steroids do to people when ran longterm. Since there is a risk that it is unhealthy, doing an actual study is unethical.
Most data we have is just self-reported, which means that if a steroid user happens to be ok after 30 years he says he is ok. If a user happens to get a disease that we all can get, he reports that it is because of steroids.

Anyways, i just dont understand why u needed to fuck with your TRT? If u aromatize whatever, it is for your doctor to fix.

Primo is a DHT. Those typically will have a negative impact to your lipids and can also cause prostate issues. Who knows if it will cause you issues or not long term. It’s a roll of the dice.

Good work. What was your before and after body weight?
But I have no thoughts for AAS use for someone with as much body fat as you currently have.

That is too short a time to give up on TRT only hormones. Especially considering your results thus far. You didn’t get that out of shape in a couple of months.

When did you start adding Primo to your TRT?

What kind of strength results have you achieved thus far? Are you doing any big compound exercises? (Squat, Bench Press, Overhead Press, Deadlift) If so, can you give us some numbers?

Do you take a pre-workout supplement?

Sorry I had a crazy day.

I’m not doing big compound lifts. I had 3 knee surgeries due to football so I tend to stay away from squats and dead lifts.

I primarily do machine weights at the gym besides dumbbell bench, military press, biceps, etc…

I’m naturally strong - at 17 I maxed out bench at 405

Since doing trt, and now primo I’ve lost 15 lbs of fat and gained 12 lbs of muscle - 3 months.

I’m gaining strength more and more.

It’s really working for me, just something I wonder if I can run a long time or not.

Did you start TRT only in March? Is that at the beginning of March?

What date did you add Primo? How long have you been on Primo?

What was your body weight before you started TRT?
What was it when you started Primo?
What is it now?

Did you notice a clear difference in mood and libido when u added primo?
If yes, how many weeks after starting primo did you feel the benefits?
