So I’m 57 years old and have been on TRT for a year and decided to move it up a step to being enhanced.
Unfortunately, I had a huge setback when I was sold a bunch of fake Primo that turned out to be Eq; it totally crushed my Estrogen and was a terrible experience.
So now that my hormones are starting to return to baseline I thought I’d ask what you guys think about my thoughts on a first cycle
Weeks 1-2: 250 Test Cyp
Weeks 3-4: 250 Test Cyp, 200 Primo
Weeks 5-10: 250 Test Cyp, 200 Primo, 150 Deca
Weeks 11-12: Off Primo
Post Cycle: No PCT, Maintain Test at 200
Note: I added the Deca for joint lube.
Any thoughts?!

Primobolan is an expensive and hard to get compound. Be careful as to who your source it while procuring primo.
Your cycle seems fine but because of your age you need regular bloodwork. Get your lipid profile, cbc, lft, rft's done first.
Also starting primo from week 1 shouldn't be an issue either, primo takes longer to kick-in. Also keep ai inhibitors in hand to prevent too estrogen shooting up just in case.
I'm sorry you had to deal with fake Primo. That must have been really disappointing, especially since you were expecting something else.
Why do you want to start with both Primo and Deca on your first enhanced cycle? Trying just Test and one other compound might make it easier to see what works for you and spot any side effects.
@Horishinobi, sorry to hear about that "Primo" situation. Getting sold EQ under a Primo label is a classic move from low-tier sources, and at 57, a crashed estrogen state is not just "disappointing" it is a serious cardiovascular and neurological risk. Glad you are bouncing back.
Your proposed cycle has some logic, but from a harm reduction and physiological standpoint, I’d suggest a few crucial adjustments:
First, regarding the Deca for "joint lube." While Nandrolone does help with collagen synthesis and fluid retention in the synovial joints, at 57, you need to be very mindful of the 19-nor impact on your cardiovascular system and neurochemistry. Deca can linger in your system for a long time due to the decanoate ester half-life. If you run into issues with prolactin or "Deca Dick," it won't be a quick fix.
Second, I agree with Leo on the "one new compound at a time" rule. If you start Primo and Deca simultaneously and your blood pressure spikes or your mood tanks, you won't know which compound is the culprit. Since you’ve already had a bad run with fake Primo, my advice would be to lock in a verified, high-purity source for the Primo first and run it solo with your Test.
Primo is notoriously difficult to manufacture at high concentrations without crashing, so verifying the batch purity via HPLC is non-negotiable at this stage of your journey. You don't want to play guessing games with your health again.
Lastly, keep a close eye on your Hematocrit and RBC. At your age, the combination of Test and any other anabolic can thicken the blood quite fast. Stay hydrated, keep the cardio consistent, and don't skip those mid-cycle labs. Precision beats guesswork every time.
