Planning my next cycle and thinking about going cleaner than my usual test and deca blasts. Considering 400mg primo e with 50mg var for 12 weeks alongside 200mg test as a base. Main goal is to recomp, drop a bit of fat while keeping or adding muscle. Have done test only and test deca before but never used primo or var. Is 400mg primo enough to feel it or do you need to go higher? Any sides to watch for on var at 50mg?

400mg primo is on the lower end, most feel 500-600 is where it really works. At 400 with 200 test you will notice it but do not expect dramatic results. The var at 50mg is solid, lipids will take a hit so get bloods mid cycle. That stack is one of the cleaner ones you can run, low sides. Primo needs to be run long, 12 weeks minimum, 16 is better.

Good stack for recomp. Bump the primo to 500 at minimum if budget allows, you will thank yourself. Var is fine at 50mg but watch LDL, it tanks HDL hard. Run it for 8 weeks not the full 12. Test at 200 is basically TRT so E2 should not be an issue. Clean diet is 80 percent of a recomp regardless of what you are running.

Ran almost exactly this last year, 500 primo, 200 test, 40mg var for 8 weeks at the end. Dropped about 8lbs of fat and put on maybe 4-5lbs of lean. Strength went up the whole time. No real sides beyond slightly dry joints from the low E2. If primo gets scarce with the raw ban situation bump the var to 60mg and run it a bit longer to compensate.

primo and var is probably the most underrated recomp stack imo. not as dramatic as tren but you keep every gain and feel human. my coach has me on similar right now, 500 primo 200 test and 50 var for 10 weeks. already down 6lbs and veins are coming out. diet has to be on point though, primo is not a miracle worker if you are eating like crap
