Well my 2020 cycle season started in earnest today. I haven't been this excited to try a new (to me anyway) compound since I first ran Tren.
The last few years have been very good, but full of sides and emotional roller coasting episodes. While I achieved much of my goals over that time and have been more than pleased with the results, this year running a milder compound excites me. Being huge was never a goal of mine. Bring ripped was. Even on Friday night at a friends birthday party a few wived of my friends asked my wife if it was OK to touch me. LOL.. We found it so amusing. But it is validating.
Enough with the vanity, part of the reason I'm running primo is because of the results. Real, lasting, permanent results. Also I want to feel amazing. Which I haven't always been. I've lost flexibility. I've had some cardiovascular issues. Some lethargy etc. Enough of that shit. Most of what I want to achieve this year is going to be about diet and discipline in that arena. A risk of long term extreme dieting results in developing a bad relationship with food. For the past few months my appetite has been through the roof. I've been binge eating on anything within eye-shot. Considering how much I've eaten I think I still look relatively good and a few months with moderate discipline and Ill be beach ready by May 24th weekend. which is always my deadline for achieving my summer look.
Besides drugs, I've been looking up recipes for cooking my own beef jerky, healthy rice dishes, meat dishes etc. I'm going to be doing a lot of food prep. I'll try and list some of the recipes I use so you can try them yourself. Unlike my wife I need carbs. Finding the balance (which really means portion sizing) is the key to making progress and maintaining my physique once I've hit my goal in May. I'm not going to be ultra obsessive. I'm going to have a pizza here and there. I'm going to enjoy being out with friends. But I will offset that with 8/16 intermittent fasting.
I am already encouraged by the conversations we've already had in this thread. This is where real education comes from. We can read studies until the cows come home, but it's through sharing our personal experiences can we sift through all the information and find a way to cycle that best suits us. Through our own experience and from that of others. So valuable.
That being said Let's talk about training. As many of you know I've been struggling with a shoulder impingement for the past few months. It's getting better but I've really had to train strategically. Lighter weight, higher reps, longer time under tension techniques. Funny how you can actually lift lighter and gain mass. I look just as good as I always have and my body feels like it's under much less stress. I am also going to focus on legs this year. II'll likely training them twice a week. They're lagging compared to the rest of me. The only place I carry fat is in the abdominal area. The only place. So diet and core work will also be a priority.
As I mentioned in an earlier post I will also be focusing on overall health. My flexibility through yoga, stretching with bands and exercises I learned through physiotherapy. Bi weekly message sessions. If it's one thing I have become aware of is how my body feels. I know it may seems like a stereotypical joke.. but everything does hurt as you age. Not sure why. it just does. So doing something about that is important to me as well. Strength and physique is great and all, but you want to feel functional and good.
I'm running 100 mg of primo, 50mg of provirion, and 85g of test every other day. So 3-4 times a week. I'll throw in some DMAA preworkout. And perhaps an other oral down the road. But we'll see on that.
My wife will take some pics tonight and I'll get those up.
Thanks for following along.
