I ran 400mg/week for 16 weeks of primo. Added var for the last 8 weeks.
Gained about 14 lbs. and dropped BF% from 16% to 10%
It's been about 3 months since and I'm still about 12 lbs. over.
Haven't lost much strength gains. It's the recovery post-workout now that I notice the big difference.
At around the 12-16 week period of the cycle I did get really ripped, to the point where people at my work KNEW I was on something. The breakouts of huge pimples also didn't help my case.
But it's cool though. I'll never run primo again. I can't stand having the Himalayas on my face.
I've ran var and t-bol cycles only before the primo/var combo and I never broke out from those cycles.
I'll tell you though, if there is a "shutdown" or "crash" with primo, then it's either really late or I must be one of the very few that hasn't experienced it yet. I'm serious, since my last injection, my military press and curls have actually INCREASED in weight. Bench went down a bit but not much.
In all honesty, and I'll probably get burnt for this, but I ONLY used 2 weeks of nolva for PCT. That's it.
I've had my bloodwork done and doc said everything is normal.
So yeah, the ONLY really bad aspect of primo in my case is the ACNE breakouts that made me a laughingstock in the workplace.
Unfortunately, I'm not willing to go through that again. They've subsided a bit but my skin is still not the same as it was before this particular cycle.
