Rest Week continues. Let's see if I make it until Friday. The pain in my forearms and hands is subsiding a little. Had a massage Saturday that helped. Let's see what resting will get me.
Pinned 50 mg last night. No sore throat after like I had been getting. No notable sides. Pin again Friday.
This is the first I've experienced it....ain't gettin' old grand? I'm not sure if it's because i've been lifting heavier or I've managed to be on the planet for a while.i went for a deep tissue massage and it REALLY helped my forearm/tendonitis issues.

I was on the fence about just a deload and not total rest but then I started thinking about all those little aches and pains that could probably need some rest/healing too. Thanks for the advice.Your body is thanking you right now, probably adding you to the gains list

Man, that would suck to be on a cycle and hurt yourself. Glad all of you with experience are here for advice/support.Listen to your body. Nothing worse then getting injured while on a cycle. I made that mistake once. Put me out for 3 months. You'll come back stronger with some rest anyway.
I have a feeling I may flunk rest week. Today is day 5 and tomorrow is Saturday. Why waste a weekend day and NOT lift? Ugh. Pin 50 mg today. Going to switch cheeks since I've been pinning the same one and it's a little sore.
This extra time has given me time to revamp my program. So I'm going to give the following a shot for the next 6 weeks. These will be long so I'll be supersetting where I can. Critiques welcome.

Hi Chelsea! Nice to meet you! Yes that's me. Thanks! I read you're intro and judging by your avi you are strong! Look forward to your posts. Feel free to ask anyone anything. Most of us are on our first-ish cycle - I started with anavar and then transitioned to primo - thus the first-ish and really loooong cycleThank you for this. I'm so lost here. Lol. I'm going to do some reading today.
Nice to meet you Wendy. You look great if that's you in the picture.

Anyway I AM more vascular. I think I can say that
Damn! You got a road map on your forearm!Back day new program. It's a lot more volume than I was doing but got it done in 1.5 hrs. Deadlifts take up most of the time.....warming up. Pyramiding up. The way I have my program is the 1st three days are for strength and the 2nd set of 3 days is for hypertrophy. That said, I PR'd my DL. 225 for 1. I think I could have gone 10 lbs higher but I'll try that next week. Wound up taking a solid 5 days off from the gym. Felt rested. Forearms and hands feel better. Not 100% but better. Noticed db curls hurt them of all things.
Pinned yesterday and Tuesday will mark the beginning of week 5 of primo. Maybe noticing subtle changes right now? My body looks more purposeful if that makes sense. Like it's built to lift weights. Maybe. I took progress pics and I don't look different in them. Maybe it's the 5 days off. Maybe I think about these things too much. It's a mystery.

Holy cow, Wendy!
That's crazy vascularity.
Congrats on 225 DL! Do you ever sumo DL? You can put up more weight that way. I like to alternate btw conventional and sumo dls.
I can't believe you're already on your 5th week. Wow.
How are the strength gains so far?
Keep killing it, babe! One way ticket to gainzcity
I sumo'd for a while on posterior chain day but rotated off that move a while back. My new gym has a glute ham raise that I am now enamored with.
My strength gains have been steady. I'm just now getting to where I trust the steroid to do its job. I think I was a little too conservative with that at first. Now I'll venture slowly into higher weights. Adding 5-10 lbs to pyramid up. I've been focussing on hypertrophy for so long it feels soooo good to work on strength. Last week I pr'd bench at 150. Failed at 160. I will try it again tomorrow.
