On TRT want to add something
6’0”
200lbs
12% BF
I’ve been on TRT for about a year now. My levels before TRT were 94 ng/dl, 104 ng/dl, 132 ng/dl. I was prescribed 140mg and it boosted me to 356 ng/dl. Was upped to 180mg of test C and now am at 731 ng/dl. I’ve never done Anavar, but I have done DBOL in my mid 20’s with Test E 500mg a week cycles and 250 Sus cycles. The blue hearts and I’d take a half twice a day. I wanted to go for a “dry look” like how I look right when I wake up in the morning. What would yall recommend?
I liked the DBOL, I know it’s hard on liver, but I loved how aggressive it made me feel in the gym. I could do non stop reps and never get tired. I’d probably skip the DBOL now a days and go with Anavar. But what about a low dosage of masteron? Anything that gives a drier look

Go with Masteron or primo. Easy and “safe” for beginners. I’d start with a dose at half of whatever your test base is and work your way up till you notice sides, then taper down.
I’m roughly the same height, weight, and body fat as you, and if the goal is that “dry in the morning” look, it’s way more about water management and stress/E2 control than chasing another compound.
I’ve had really good results with primo for exactly what you’re describing. It didn’t feel harsh, didn’t wreck my appetite or cardio, and the look was more clean and dense than aggressive. Less bloat, better separation, and it played nicely with TRT-level test.
DBOL is kind of the opposite tool. Fun, strong, fast, but very glycogen and water heavy. Great for gym performance, not great if your priority is waking up dry and staying that way.
Anavar can add some hardness and polish, but it’s subtle. It won’t magically peel fat off if diet and cardio aren’t already tight.
Masteron can give a drier look, but it really only shines for me once I’m already lean and estrogen is in check. Otherwise it tends to be underwhelming and just adds another variable.
At 12% BF, the biggest levers are still food timing, sodium consistency, sleep, and stress. Compounds can accent a lean look, but they don’t replace the fundamentals.
If you already know you respond well to primo, that’s about as clean and predictable as it gets compared to bouncing between harsher options. It’s a long run with a delayed payoff. You don’t see daily or weekly changes, but day one vs day 150 photos are always night and day, and super dry, shredded.
I actually just ordered some myself for my cut into the summer. Timing should be perfect if you start in the next month.
im going into my 6th week on test 1st cycle... got some primo should be here tomorrow, wanting to be a lean dry this summer.. think im gonna take your advice and start primo in a few weeks to be ready for summer. im running 300mg test a week feeling great. im 5'11 178lbs.. 7.5% bodyfat.. did a scan today actually at my gym they have the evolt 360 body scanner thing. dont know how accurate it is but id say more on the 8% side of body fat. i look great though not gonna lie
HCG causes increase E2 and was probably causing your sides, dropping that will help. Also the Clomid can cause issues!
As the others have suggested, don’t get hung up on oral vs injectable. Most injectables will work better, be safe, and faster.
Why not just up the test?
I like this answer.
I would avoid the D-bol if a dry, hard look is what you are after. It will make you hold water and give you a “puffy” look. Honestly, I would avoid orals all together as they are hard on your live and crash your good cholesterol. I think Masteron is your best bet to accomplish what you are after. Seeing as you have never used it before, 200mg/week should be plenty.
I don’t know much about masteron. I really wanted to just add an oral, but considering I wanted more of a drier look I wouldn’t mind running Mast P 200mg a week? EOD?
On TRT i had 180mg Test C M/Thu HcG M/Thu, Clomid daily, Armidex 0.5 M/Thu - cause I was getting water retention so bad in my legs / ankles from the HCG. So my doc cut my HCG dosage in half and added the Armidex and I was fine. I stopped Armidex after cutting the dosage of HCG in half. But recently went up another 20mg on Test and my nips got a little more sensitive so was told to add back the Armidex again.
I just found out on Christmas that I’m having my first child, so I’m looking to ditch the Clomid/hCG now. Since I’m no longer worried about being able to have children.i got 3 sperms saved in the freezer banks if we needed to do IVF once I ditch the HCG cause I don’t like it at all.
I don’t know anything about masteron. Is it oral or injectable? Appreciate it boss
Yes, Masteron is injectable and it will act as a natural Aromatase inhibitor as well, so you likely will not need the Arimidex. If you get Masteron Enanthate, I would inject 100mg twice a week. If you get Masteron propionate you will need to inject 3-4 times a week with the weekly total equaling 200mg.
Masteron is injectable very little sides. It drys everything though including your joints.
Mast should only dry your joints if your dose is too high and you crash Estrodial. Done it a couple times when I miss dosed being an egg and I countered the dry joints with low dose of npp.
