just a quick update...
the cycle is really coming together. i'm someone who is pretty critical of myself but i have to be honest, i'm rather happy with what the mirror has been showing me. i seem to be bigger and more complete than the internal image i have of me. so, it's like every time i get pumped at the gym and see myself in the mirror, it's a pleasant surprise. it makes me feel good and motivates me to reach further. i'm just about as hard as i was before i had upped the food, but i'm looking fuller and rounder now. i noticed that a jacket, which has always been comfortably loose, is fitting tighter on my shoulders, arms and back. this catches me by surprise as well. before, when i dieted down, everything got loose and i looked smaller in clothes. up until now, it's only been while i'm bulking that that my loose fitting clothes fit tightly like this.
on a bad note, i am getting acne on my face. i've never gotten acne on my face before due to AAS. it started about the time i started this job. i think it was first triggered by the insane stress i was feeling for the first few weeks of the new work, but now, it's like this acne infection doesn't want to leave my face. after i finish this post, i'm running up to the pharmacy to fill a script for bactrum, which had helped in the past. i think that if i get the infection under control, the breakout will subside.
today is my day off of training and i have to work afternoon. i'm glad to have a rest day. i've been beating myself up pretty good in the gym. weights are up. maybe 6 wks ago, the most i had ever pressed on over head DB shoulder presses was the 95lb DBs. i'd be able to put them up for about 1 set of 5 reps after ramping up from the 70s, 85s, 90s. the 95s were a real sticking point. it was like the psychic energy it took made the 95s hard and really fatigued me physically and mentally. yesterday, i managed to work my way up to the 95s again and got 2 sets. first for 9 reps. second set for 7 reps. thats a personal best and i managed to do it with much less focus than before.
thanks for taking the time to follow my log and i hope you're enjoying it!
