Primos number one attribute is protein synthesis and its ability to help hold onto muscle even in an extreme calorie deficit .
so really you have your cycle ass backwards. now it would be ideal to run Primo the whole duration of your cycle. heck I'd be running primo year round if I could afford it . BUT if your set on only running it for 6 weeks then your better off running it the last 6 weeks when your at the biggest calorie deficit and use it to help you hold onto muscle .
your not going to notice any gains running primo for 6 weeks . but thats fine. without doubt its still going to up regulate protein synthesis and make you super efficient at using protein to hold onto muscle . you may not notice it in the mirror, but believe me the Primo is still going to be working and doing its thing (even if only used for 6 weeks), and if your in a calorie deficit and hitting your cardio consistently, you will be getting leaner while still holding onto plenty of muscle.
I think 6 weeks is just fine to run primo , especially in a cut or contest prep. its without doubt going to help you retain muscle.
now sure, if you were bulking and trying to add a lot of size and you were running primo, then a high dosage for a long duration is going to work much better to achieve those goals.
primo is NOT a cosmetic compound like Masteron or Tren.. its simply a pure anabolic. thats all it does. upregulates protein synthesis. building new tissue via protein turn over is a very slow steady process that takes time. but wither your running primo for 6 weeks or 6 months, that help from protein efficiency is a good thing especially when cutting and in a cal deficit.
I'm in a calorie deficit right now due to some diet changes I'm experimenting with . . heck I wish I had some primo to run right now. even if it was only for a few weeks . I don't care. that additional protein synthesis is going to help either way , period.
