First Cycle V2 (Extended)
Longer first cycle with a gradual secondary compound introduction
A 16-week cycle starting with a moderate testosterone dose, then layering in a secondary injectable compound (e.g. Masteron, Primobolan, or NPP) in the second half. Designed for users who prefer a longer cycle with more gradual escalation. Transitions to TRT/cruise at the end rather than full PCT.
Protocol Phases
| Weeks | Compounds | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| 1-6 | Establish supraphysiological base, assess E2 response | |
| 7-10 | Introduce secondary compound, monitor response | |
| 11-16 | Full working dose of both compounds, maximise gains |
Dosage Summary: Test 150-250 mg/wk throughout + secondary 100 -> 200 mg/wk from week 7
Safety / Ancillaries
Less likely needed with Masteron; monitor E2 by blood, not feel

Blood Marker Monitoring
| Marker | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Total Testosterone | Pre-cycle, week 6, week 12, week 16 |
| Estradiol | Week 4, 8, 12, 16 |

Key Notes
- Choose one secondary: Masteron (anti-E2, hardening) or Primobolan (milder, better lipids)
- NPP is another option but adds 19-nor complexity -- not ideal for a first cycle
- Transitioning to TRT after (rather than PCT) avoids the hormonal crash
- If dropping to TRT, reduce to 100-150 mg/week Test after week 16
- Get blood work 6-8 weeks after dropping to TRT dose to confirm levels
After this protocol
Drop to True TRT dose (100-150 mg/week) and re-assess bloodwork at 6-8 weeks
