PRIMO CYCLE LOG!

Yes to the compression sleeves over knee wraps for your purposes. They give support and keep the joint warm and are easy to put on versus wraps.

Wraps are used by powerlifters for heavy singles or doubles.

You look great and I can "top" your belly button look with two high hernias but I won't clutter up your log with that picture!
Well dangit, I did some reading & it seemed people favored the wraps.. just arrived today! Hopefully they're not too much of a PIA to put on. Will be trying them out tomorrow. I can always buy a sleeve too if the wraps are working my nerves, which doesn't take much lately! :p

Come on now, show off them hernias! You've only got em cuz you're hardcore! :cool:

And thank you :)
 
New gear has arrived!! I'm ecstatic:D:D My Labmax isn't here yet, but since I'm already pinning test prop (& possibly something else for all I know) I'm *hoping* it will be ok to make the switch. As soon as I do the labmax on the new, I will post the results. Hopefully the difference will be very noticeable & help others in the future.

@GearGodess , maybe you can help. Do I need to taper off of the test or is it ok to stop altogether? I'm due for a pin this evening & would like to use the "Primo" instead.
Exciting!
You can just transition to the primo. Shouldn't have any problems!
Keep us posted.

How did the wraps work out for you? The problem with wraps are if they are tight enough then you have to wrap and unwrap every set which becomes a major pain. Whereas with the sleeves you can keep them on between sets.

At least you will have the wraps so if you switch to powerlifting you will be prepared. I'm trying to convert all of the strong women here to powerlifters in case you haven't noticed!

Ok, awesome! Made the switch on Monday. Thanks again for all of your help!

Wellll, my schedule changed & I was limited on time- didn't get to use them! Figured I'd be doing just what you described & didn't have any time to mess around.. next time! I did however use the wrist wraps & they made a BIG difference :)

& Powerlifting does interest me! Keep up the conversion tactics :D Maybe once this cycle is over & I've built more strength I can try it out. I DL & squat 165 right now. Nothing to brag about there, but I know my numbers will continue to go up. Lots to look forward to! Maybe one of these days I can be badass like @Wendylifts .. goals! :cool:
 
Wrist wraps give some good support and are easy on and off. Knee wraps are a little tougher especially if you are trying to wrap your own.

165 is a solid squat for your size and your numbers will definitely continue to go up. Wendy was strong when she started her powerlifting programming but all of her lifts have gone up considerably since then and that is at 50.

At 30 you can make huge strength increases and still keep your same look while just adding a bit of muscle everywhere. You have a great look right now and in my opinion powerlifting would only enhance it. Ok enough of the sales pitch!:)... for now at least.

Yay! Are you pinning it tonight or waiting on Labmax before doing so? I'm waiting on a Labmax kit as well. Love the new profile pic, btw.

I started pinning Monday, same day it came! M & Th were my pin days, so it worked out perfect.. That is, assuming it's legit! Figured since I'm already pinning test, why not? >>felt like a good justification<< :rolleyes: If it turns out bunk, I will most likely cry & break things! Kidding, kinda..

& thank you:) Doesn't top yours tho;)

As long as you don't get tren cough you should be ok! Haha! Be careful.

Ahh.. funny you should say that.. I HAVE had a slight cough the last few days.. now I'm trying to remember when it came on :eek: I attributed it to my already scratchy throat or a cold coming on. Think it may have started over the weekend. Guess I need to pay more attention to these things!! To make it worse, I can feel every cough in my scapula area. Don't think I was retracted enough during bench last Friday & hit it again on Monday. I'm stubborn :oops:
 
Oh, I was just joking with you. You'd get it about 30sec after injection. I don't actually cough but my lips and throat tingle and I feel like I have asthma for about a minute. I hope you get well!
