Week 6
Hey all! I apologize for being terrible about updating my Primo cycle log.
So I'm about 6 1/2 weeks into my cycle and I think I'm finally starting to feel it. I don't have that amazing super-human feeling and strength that I always had while on Var, but I am feeling a bit stronger with my lifts and may have a little bit more endurance than I typically do when I'm natty. I don't know. It could all be in my head though, lol. I am however starting to slowly lean out, while still maintaining all the muscle that I currently have.[emoji119]
I lowered my dose three weeks ago because I started to break out badly on my face. I've been pinning 25 mg twice a week ever since. All has been well up until a couple days ago. The face breakouts are back with a vengeance.
I'm going to pin again tomorrow and see how my skin reacts by next week. If my face continues to hate Primo, I'm going to end my cycle. I can deal with a blemish here and there but this is an itchy rash-like breakout. Nope, not cute at all. Lol
I've been leaning out slowly which is nice, but I'm going to step up my cardio this week and start incorporating cycling classes again. I'm currently doing cardio 3x a week for 15-20 min. of HIIT (sprinting and jogging).
Although I've been leaning out, my legs seem to continue to grow. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it really throws me off when I can feel my inner thighs rubbing together whenever I walk now, lol. I never really had that problem before. I think my legs have a mind of their own, ha.
Here is a progress pic from last week:

Currently squatting 215lbs for reps and barbell hip thrusting 305 for reps. Oh, I did a pyramid set on the squat press machine today and pressed 6 plates on each side for 10 reps. That's a first for me, so I'm happy about that.[emoji123]
