I'm currently running an 8 week RAD140 cycle (with enclomiphene as OCT and PCT) and have been very impressed with the results. I realized that AAS would've probably been a better choice. I've had minimal sides that I've done a good job at managing and have started writing my next cycle. I am going to give myself about 10 months post-SARM PCT to give myself a break and then I will begin the proposed cycle. I've read a lot about how primobolan is a relatively mild DHT-derivative that can also be beneficial for managing E2. Only part I'm confused about is dosing. Some people have told me that 500 test/400 primo isn't really as much as it looks on paper and to start at that dose. Others have said to titrate up. Any feedback would be appreciated. Also I will have AI's on hand and will be getting pre, mid, and post cycle bloodwork.

Cut out the Primo run test only first cycle to see how you respond to it and run a small dose of an ai with it so you don’t over or under do it there. Then make adjustments and monitor symptoms and do blood work.

What he said. Keep a serm on hand as well and make sure to get blood work.

So no to primo for sure? Also should I titrate up from 250 mg/week or just start at 500? I'll definitely have an AI on hand.

Enclomiphene is my SERM. And I will be getting pre, mid, and post cycle bloods done.

Anything else I need to change? Is the PCT adequate for the length of the cycle?

I’d you’re gonna go for 500, may as well just start at 500. I think that’s a bit on the high side, and either 375 or 400 is better for a first cycle (depending on the concentration of your oil), but it could be that’s I’m just a massive sissy.

Why rush it, get the least out of the most without needing to add in other compounds or ancillaries. Start low, wait to reach peak saturation, wait for progress in weight, training, etc., to stall, then titrate up. No need to use an AI or serm if you do it the right way, plus you can ride out your first cycle so much longer than 12 weeks, bloodwork dependent.

I don’t know much about enclomiphene but I do know nolva is better to protect the nips than clomid. Could be better than enclomiphene you’ll have to look at that.

No Primo. Stick to test only first cycle. You start having issues, you won't know which is causing it. And how to combat them etc.

No to primo for sure. Expensive and no need for it in ur first cycle. And don’t titrate up just start at 200-250mg 2x weekly. Enjoy the gains.

Everyone reacts differently. IMHO, Best to start on the lower side and gradually titrate up. I also agree with most ppl here that you should start with just one compound to see you you respond.
