Weird problem, awesome results. Whats going on?

[WannaBPowerful]

I dont know what is goin on with me. I am NOT taking anything other than a ton of protein from day to day. I just started my dieting for compitition monday. For the last two weeks, my body has broken out horribly with pimples no matter how much i shower or use oxy pads all over, and my strength is goin through the roof. Im 19, almost 20. In one week i added 10lbs on my bench, 2 plates on my leg press (45's), able to do 4 more pullups than usuial, and similar results in everything else. Im guessing my testosterone levels are way up right now. I am kinda shocked/worried/happy because i did NOTHING to bring this about. 240g of protein at a bodyweight of 180. What is going on?

im not sure, but my workout partner went through the same thing when he dieted for his first show, he even went to the doctor about it. All he could do was scratch his head and say "well, congradulations on your lifts'

so ill save you the doctor bill..... congradulations.

haha i love that answer yeaaa!!!!!!

How long did it last for him? Did he GAIN muscle while on his cutting diet for his first compitition? I just wanna know what to expect. GREAT NEWS. Now all i gotta do is try to control the pimples lol.

Try this, it worked for me. As i've posted about this numerous times here.

Go to a dermatologist and tell him you want Plexion Wash. Its a very commonly used antibacterial soap with sulfer and some kind of sulfacet oxide in it. I was all busted out all over my shoulders, neck, chest, and back. i use it once a night in the shower and let it sit on all busted parts of the body for about 2 minutes. Also make sure you wash right after you train. dont sit in sweaty cloths. shower with it as soon as possible and after about a week you should have seen really good results. Mine are gone. occasionally one or two may pop up but, shit cant get em all i guess.

I hope this helps

Hey Scaggs, I have that shit all over my upper back too, I've been trying this Neutrogena Body Scrub using one of those body puff things to try and get it off. I tried scratching it to death until I ended up leaving my skin dry and irritated. How much does this Plexion Wash cost? Or a visit to the dermatologist?

 

[Scaggs]

well i don't have coverage and it only costs me 40 bucks for an office visit. he'll also prescribe you 3 refills that will last you close to a year.. he'll want to see you back in a few weeks but you don't need to go. I never do untill i need a new prescription. The wash is cheap too. under 20 bucks im sure. It should definetly help. All the dermatologist there even use the shit because its so good. Try it out. what do you got to lose besides the nasty aching back acne. Mine was so bad it hurt when people hugged me. Now they are all gone. If i stop for a week they come back. Try not to bust them when they aren't coming to a head, you'll scar yourself.

If you need more info just let me know. I'll be going for refill soon and i will find out how much it costs for you.

Could it be that you were poorly hydrating yourself before and now you are drinking alot more water? That will do it (the strength part).

Are are you working out at a different time of day than you used to?

Thank you Scaggs. I used the Neutrogena wash, and it doesn't seem to work. I need something really useful.

Also helpful is Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) wash. That's what my doc prescribed to me. This, in combination with topical Retin-A Micro, has eradicated the acne vulgaris (that's the name for back/shoulder acne) I once had. You can try Minocycline as well, if need be. However, I'd try to stick with the topicals and washes, at least in the early going.
