Acne and Weight Lifting (Post Accutane)

Hi!
Okay, Im JUST about to finish a 6th month cycle of accutane. I am very pleased with the results and have had no breakouts. When I get off the course, I have planned to gain some muscle mass through weight lifting, which involves gym time and a high protien and carb diet. Will this weight lifting and new diet cause any breakouts even though I just took Accutane? Im so paranoid to do this, but I want to SO bad. Help meeeeee. I know weight lifting increases levels of testosterone, which can lead to acne. But since I was on accutane, will I just never even break out?

I do not think so as long as your not taking ANY type of steroid. I took Accutane twice and was really afraid that getting pregnant would make all my acne come back because of massive hormone changes. I still have clear skin and I'm 8 months pregnant.
