Satchums, here's my honest take:
Compairing your before pic to your after pics, i honestly don't think you look good enough to be making a thread about this 'story', ESPECIALLY for running 16 weeks of 1000mg of Primo! It really doesn't look like you gained 22lbs either, but thats through my eyes. If anything I think you look slightly smaller. Granted you lost a lot of bodyfat (which takes hard work, no doubt!), but you shouldn't look that much smaller if you gained 22lbs. Sure, you've got a vein or two popping out and they look great, just not to the degree I expected from the amount of drugs you involved.
I would expect someone who uses such a high dose of ANYTHING to look much better than you turned out. Maybe I was expecting more out of you?
Also what weighs heavily into it is the cost. Not everyone is rolling in money and has $2000 to spend on a single compound that only did that to you. You give me $2k for cycles and I'll gurantee I will look bigger, better, and more ripped than you did. The ONLY reason I can think of someone dropping that kind of cash is if they were completely terrified of side effects or their body just can't handle anything and needs a safer compound that will still yield moderate results.
I'm looking at it the logical way. The most cost effective, gain yielding aspect.
I in no way mean to offend or disrespect you and I'm most definantly not ripping on you. You look good, but not for the amount of drugs you take.
