contest cycle...

[go Yankees]

I would say "upcoming" contest cycle, but it won't be coming up for about 49 or so weeks. I'll be dieting for 10-12 weeks...about 2-4 wks in, I'll start cycling. At any rate:

Wks 1-6 prop @ 150 mgs EOD
Wks 1-8 tren a @100 mgs EOD
Wks 7-8 masteron @ 100 mgs EOD
Wks 7-8 winny @ 50 mgs ED

I will be adding the mast and winny when I drop the test, but running tren throughout

questions: should I make the cycle longer? should I go EOD with the winny?

thanks

Why stoppping the Test prop at wk 6? I would stay on longer..

[joe bigboy]

i'd stay with the test longer too

[go Yankees]

wouldn't I hold too much water if I ran the test too close to the show?

[daf2]

it is test prop so you shouldn't be holding much water. The idea is to stop all injections 10-14 days from the show for that reason and in case there is a problem with an injection/lump/etc.

But, if you are running the tren until it, then y not continue with the test?

[joe bigboy]

with prop i don't hold much at all, last summer i dropped it 10 days out from a show when i started halo and this last show that i just did i ran the prop all the way up to it and didnt really notice any difference as far as water retention from it

[go Yankees]

how did the halo work for you? I've also heard of a-bombs 3 days out to increase RBC production and make you more vascular...

[joe bigboy]

yea i like halo the week before a show, gives me a harder than normal look... i was on EQ for 12 prior to this past show so my vascularity was already pretty good... i've never tried drol like that though.... i know one thing though, alcohol increases vascularity like a mutha. i was out after the show drinking and shit i had full veins everywhere. but i doubt being drunk on stage would be good, lol....

The cycle is a little short but since it's all short half lives it can be done. Personally I do drop all oil base substances about 2 weeks out. In all honesty it depends on the person as to how your body responds to water retention.
I'd also go a little longer with your winny. First and foremost though, what is your diet going to look like?

why, thanks for asking

I thought about hiring a nutritionist, but a) one of my lifting partners said, "dude, you don't have THAT much fat to lose," and it's true, b) I did get ready for my last show (Nov) in 6-8 wks and my fiancée thinks I was in great shape, even though I didn't, and c) I had the kind of condition I'd want when I did a show last June, which I thought was better than in Nov

The honest answer is, I don't know. I'm not sure how much I'll really weigh or how fat I'll really be when I start cutting

It'll probably look like my other cutting diets -- cycling carbs in varying amounts...I'm really not sure. I feel like it'll be a bit harder if I'm 224 when I start than when I was starting at 183

What did your diet look like from your last show?

What did your diet look like from your last show?

hmm...I wish I had it written down so I could pinpoint what I did differently...

whey shake, 1 whole egg and 6 whites, bowl of oatmeal, chicken'n'brown rice with olives, steak and sweet potatoes...stuff like that, I think I cut all dairy 2 or 3 wks out or something

I guess the big difference was that in the spring, I had a show lined up, dieted and stuff, then I decided not to do the show...still dieted, picked another show, found out it wasn't happening, dieted some more, picked another show, things came up, hadda do a show later...and when all was said and done, I guess I dieted for a long freakin' time, including two consecutive "final" contest prep weeks (carb depleting/loading)

lemme hunt for some pics for comparison, and see if my condition is diff or if I'm imagining things

[go Yankees]

this is me backstage with the overall winner from the show in June. I think I was just as conditioned as he was, except with 70 lbs less muscle

[go Yankees]

this is 3 days before the show, a little flat since I didn't carb load yet...

[go Yankees]

this is me in Nov
