Test, Primo, Mast + TBOL & hgh

JoeJohn

Member
Running a cycle after years of just TRT. I’m 41, 17% BF, 215 at 5’10”.

I’m running 200mg Test C (sides get me higher than that), 300mg primo, 300mg mast E & 2iu hgh. I also take 1mg Adex a week with a boatload of support supps. will include an oral for the last 6 weeks (anavar, epistane, or may pheraplex/superdrol to chase some PRs). I tried the 1st six weeks but got bunk TBOL that was obviously low dose dbol. I bloated up big time. I also learned a valuable lesson in that you always need an AI even when using primo and mast and in the event that you get Dbol instead of something dry.

Anyways, I plan to run this for 16 weeks. I typically do HIT training much like Yates. However, I’m ready to up the volume and increase the metabolism. I’ve gained well in the past using this style.

I’ve had a funny couple of weeks to start, and will post my first two weeks workouts. Note: I’ve hit legs but had a fluid issue that prevented good workout and will post the next one. Will update my progress as things worthwhile come up to post. I’ll post some pics in a couple of weeks

1 hour of BJJ. Knee is back and that water is gone thankfully. Had to take some time off and that had me sucking wind but I felt really good with my movements. Legs and open gym tomorrow.

I need easy slow acting compounds that won’t disrupt my cardio or athleticism. Also to keep me in a good state of mind professionally/personally. Just a lot to consider and these two fit the bill.

so you got mast enanthate then? Brvayse they do have mast prop. The reason I ask is because they're both dht derivatives that pretty much do the same thing

Yes enanthate. Good call, I’ll update that. You’re right, they are both dht but I’ve found that they complement each other really well for some reason with me when taken together. Taken separately I don’t get the same feeling and results.

Not op's situation but I know a lot of guys who use both together simply because they perfer primo but can't afford to run a gram so they use mast to fill up the remaining mg

I think the hardest part for me this cycle is dialing in my e2. Never had a problem with Mast but primo has me perplexed. Cycle is almost over and will reevaluate next cycle.

I would check your bloodwork cause you are taking both with 1mg of adex.

I was taking the Adex to help combat the bloat from the bs Dbol that I unknowingly took. You’re probably right, I can dial it back now that my estrogen is in a better place. Thankfully no low e2 sides currently though (sore joints, lethargic, brain fog).

I didnt have low e2 signs either and the primo tanked it for. Everything felt fine

What was your trt dose / protocol?

How did the cycle above treat you? Could you tell you were taking the HgH?
Click to expand...
160mg test c weekly split into to two equal doses + 1mg Adex weekly. I’m really in the infancy of my cycle. It’s been nice so far. Sides I am dealing with is a little bit of sleepiness around 2pm likely due to hgh (I get another coffee when it’s really on). Other than that, all positives. Stronger, bigger, leaner, controllable aggression, look better (skin, hair etc), good sense of well being and sharper mentally. Moving in the right direction brother.
Yep, I feel hgh- deep sleep, better skin/hair etc, more vascular and better pumps. I think that it’s helping mentally and with well being too. Sides from hgh- I’m running a low dose but I get a little carpel and I get a little tired around 2. Easy to manage

How much growth are you running? Generic or pharma?
 
JoeJohn said:
The sleep was the first night and every night since. Crazy deep sleep and dreams. I could feel it within a couple of weeks. Where I really start to notice all of the benefits of hgh is after a couple of months.
Click to expand...
First thing I notice is fast my hair grows and how thick it is especially facial hair
 
I think 2 - 3 iu of good HGH is good with any cycle. You get the fat burning benefits, better, sleep, skin, hair, healing and usually hardly none of the sides you start to see in the higher doses. And I love Test with Mast or Primo, but throw that HGH in there, and that’s a sweet little cycle.
 
LaserGoPewPew said:
I am pretty sure I know the answer but I’ll ask - does GH impact other hormones? Could It cause trt to get thrown off? Could it affect prolactin.

I was steady on the trt and added low dose GH (Chinese generic) and got a knot soon after under one of my nips.

My E never spiked.
Click to expand...
It can affect Prolactin, but normally not at that
2-3 iu dose, for me anyway, but you can add SNS inhibit P or P5P from Now on Amazon, before starting and run throughout and it really helps with Prolactin. Anytime I’ve taken Trest I add it in about 2 weeks before starting, and I never had a need for Caber or Prami.👍

This is from PubMed……
During embryogenesis, the growth hormone-secreting cells (somatotrophs) and the prolactin-secreting cells (lactotrophs) develop in
secreting cells (lactotrophs) develop from a common progenitor cell (somatomammotroph).

So basically Growth Hormone and Prolactin cells start, develop, and basically function from the same area in the Patuitary gland, not a Doctor, so don’t quote me, but basically they believe that’s the foundation of how Growth affects Prolactin. But we know from experience, that a lot of guys it doesn’t seem to cause issues, unless high doses….As far as I know I’ve never had issues, but I also have never checked Prolactin while on HGH…sorry rambling now.
I’m sure if you take P5P you shouldn’t have problems on the low doses, and still get the good benefits of Growth.

Not personally but I've heard good things. I usually stick with geneza or dragon. Obviously beligas is good as well. If you stick with known ugl's that have been around a while you are usually good. They have a reputation to uphold so they're not going to blow it by saving a few $

Thanks brother! It’s tough to pin down just primo. However, the combo of everything at the doses assigned has got me feeling great, thinking clear, BF is going down, weight is going up, improving athleticism and getting stronger. Primo is certainly contributing to the fun with zero sides.
