I’m currently a little fat so thinking of running TRT dose of test C at 180mg with 8mg Reta a week for 3 months until I hit 15% bodyfat. Then once I reach it thinking of running 250mg test with 200mg primo for 15 weeks. Any tips or advice?

Run it!!
If you’re going to take steroids then 15% needs to be the cut off point when you end a bulk and start a cut. 15% should not be your end goal of a cut. Use the search function here there’s some good posts about exactly why you want to start off as lean as possible.
I’ll try to go lower but I ran it through a calculator and for 10% bf I’d need to be 140 lbs, basically a skeleton at my height . Maybe I can gain some muscle while cutting with the added test
That also means you aren’t ready for running gear. Shows you don’t have the basics of training and nutrition mastered. So you’ll end up the same but with worse health markers due to running gear. Gear isn’t magic it’s basically a supplement
That is a ridiculously fat reta dose. I'd start at .5mg to 1mg and titrate up as needed. I ran it for like 4 months and only hit 4mg/week - this was more than enough. Im not saying you CANT go higher when its time - but theres no reason to start anywhere close to 8mg.
I’ve been on Tirzepatide 7.5mg before so I’m already used to GLPs, either way I’ll start much lower then
That does help - but I’d still recommend starting way lower. Especially if you’ve been totally off someting for awhile. I just started back up last week at 1mg - I’m gonna run with this as long as I can.
Reta isnt an excuse to skip out on clean food and good quality nutrients. Keep it low so you can still fuel your body and titrate up as needed.
Make sure you titrate up with that Reta and not just jump to 8mg.
That primo at an almost one to one ratio can crash your E2. I’d say stick to test only after you hit that weight loss goal. Maybe 300mg. Train hard but you gotta eat to make those gains as well. One of my biggest mistake in this game was adding a second compound right away. There’s guys on here that put me to absolute shame and they only run test and GH. Im off everything now due to health issues and upcoming surgery. When I jump back in ima stick to test and inject pre work outs and squeeze every bit out of test only.
If you are dead set on test/primo start at a 2:1 ratio and get bloods 6-8weeks and see what’s going on. But realize you don’t need it!
