I did primo/winny/proviron/clen for my first cycle, but I started it 8 weeks out from my first show. If you want to put on size, I would definately use test for a first. A beginner should make insane gains on 400 mg of test a week.
Price and gains: Fina/ Eq/Test
Primo is faked to often and var/primo are mucho $$$$$
Running test/eq/fina now at its the best cycle I've run, and theres been many.
I agree primo is over priced, but weak ass is a little strong. I've had great gains and there keepable using primo. Actually next to fina primo is one of my favorites. For those who have problems getting there calories in primo is great because it works on a low cal diet and you'll get hard as nails.
