Planning Next Cycle - 300 Test/50 Var/Retatrutide User Seeking Input

[AlhambraGB]

Hey guys, wrapping up my current cycle and planning the next phase. Would appreciate input from experienced users. Here's my current protocol and some questions:

Current Cycle (14 weeks):
- Test E: 300mg/wk (cruising at this dose)
- Anavar: 50mg/day (weeks 8-14)
- Retatrutide: 4mg/wk (body recomp)
- Clen: 40mcg/day (last 2 weeks for final cut)

Results So Far:
- Down 8% BF while maintaining LBM
- Strength up significantly
- Minimal sides (manageable BP elevation)

Considering For Next Cycle:
Option 1:
- Test 400mg
- Primo 300mg
- Continue Retatrutide at 3mg

Option 2:
- Test 300mg
- NPP 200mg
- Anavar kickstart

Main Questions:
1. For those who've used Retatrutide with AAS, any interference with gains?
2. Primo vs. NPP for lean bulk at these doses?
3. Worth adding low-dose GH (2IU) or overkill?

Stats:
30yo | 5'7" | 167 lbs | 15% BF | End of my first cyle

Open to all suggestions especially from guys who've run similar stacks. Not chasing crazy doses, just quality gains. Bloods come back clean every 8 weeks.

Why reta?

My body loves Test Cyp and Primo.

167 is pretty light IMO, I say eat more for one thing.

What does your blood work look like?

The Reta's actually been killer for keeping me lean while the scale stays up. Surprisingly, I've been able to lose 20 lbs fat over 4 months while dropping 8% BF - I use to weight 191 lbs at the beginning of this year. I know how have visible abs and bloodwork is on point. I don’t know if I can post it here.

Yeah you can post your blood work here. It's always good to share your experiences and get others opinions on your blood work.

Main Questions:
1. For those who've used Retatrutide with AAS, any interference with gains?

Yes, if you overdose you won't be able to eat enough. Food is required for gains. If you microdose to avoid intense hunger suppression you'll be fine.

2. Primo vs. NPP for lean bulk at these doses?

Haven't tried NPP yet so no comment but Primo is fire if you can source it. I'd get my bf a little lower first though. 10% minimum so you can gain comfortably. And you likely won't notice the cosmetic benefits of primo at 15+

3. Worth adding low-dose GH (2IU) or overkill?

GH is always worth it. The more you can tolerate the better.
