Hey everyone,
It’s been a while since my last update — the first half of the year was a blur of training, dialing in my diet, and adjusting to the cycle. I wanted to check back in and document where things are now as prep is officially underway. Decided to start new thread, believe I’ll be more disciplined this time.
Feeling excited but also nervous — energy is lower than in the massing phase, but seeing physique changes daily keeps me locked in.
Would love to hear any tips from those who’ve run Primo through prep — did you notice smoother conditioning, or do you think it mainly just helps with fullness?

It’s been a while since my last update — the first half of the year was a blur of training, dialing in my diet, and adjusting to the cycle. I wanted to check back in and document where things are now as prep is officially underway. Decided to start new thread, believe I’ll be more disciplined this time.
Cycle Update:
- Test E: 250mg
- Primo E: 500mg
- Anavar: rotated in pre-workout (10–20mg depending on session)
- Just added low-dose HGH (2iu AM) — coach suggested it as we move deeper into prep.
Training:
Still running Pull / Push / Legs split with a rest day after every 3 sessions. Volume is high, but recovery feels solid.- Strength has plateaued a little, which is expected with prep tightening up, but pumps and endurance are still great.
- Cardio increased to 5x/week (3 LISS, 2 HIIT).
Diet (current prep macros):
- Off Days: 260P / 275C / 55F
- Training Days: 270P / 425C / 40F
- High-Carb Refeed (once per week): 240P / 700C / 30F
Supplements:
Still running the same health stack (citrus bergamot, astragalus, berberine, omega-3s, etc.). Added:- NAC 1200mg/day
- Tudca 500mg/day (to support liver — my ALT was slightly elevated on bloodwork).
Bloodwork (Aug 28, 2025):
- ALT: 36 (slightly above range)
- AST: 31.6 (normal)
- Lipids: atherogenic index slightly high → keeping an eye on it
- Vitamin D: 41 (solid)
- Folate: low-normal → supplementing 800mcg/day now
Current Goal:
Coach wants me at 76–77kg stage weight. We’re about 8 weeks out, so the real grind begins now.Feeling excited but also nervous — energy is lower than in the massing phase, but seeing physique changes daily keeps me locked in.
