pre competition cycles

Hey,

first comp of the year is looming 28/6,i finished the bulking cycle 2 4 weeks ago.i made some nice gains ,currently 116kg aprox 15% bf 182cm tall.i enter the over 40s .So what would you guys advise next,unfortunatly i dont have unlimited funds.Thanks.

Thats pretty big! you wanna get on something to bring you b/f down without losing muscle mass, ,,,

I've never competed ,,, so I'm not 100% on this

But I'd go with GH ,, T3 ,,, Clen

Masteron / or proviron

Some kind of test,, a long ester like cypionate or enanthate is fine for now ,, but you're probably going to want to switch to propionate in a few weeks time unless you have Arimidex on hand to get you Hard for the show..


and Tren ,, -- if you have an understanding wife

hmmm funds not unlimited .. you can cut out the GH,,

hey thanks ,
ja unfortunatley the gh is a bit out of reach .

Dont worry about GH (it can cause water retention above 3iu's/day in some people)so unless used in a show befoe leave alone in last 2-3 weeks!

Drop the test-cypionate at least 8 weeks out move on to test-proprionate for 3-4 weeks and for the final 4 weeks move to Masteron and Trenbolone(funds allowing)
As far as orals go with Proviron and Winstrol in the last four weeks (Proviron increase dose/day by 25mg per week) and Winstrol 50mg/day for 2 weeks 75mg/day for 3rd week and 100mg/day for last week up to show. Also (if you can find it) Halotestin at 20mg/day for the final 2 weeks before the show can 'harden-up' already lean muscle. Hope this helps!

That will be a great help thanks,will get it sorted in the next week.

I will support Conan's suggestions, but without the Halotestan. I would rather take Anavar at 40-60mg pday(PGW's) the last 4 weeks and try to hit Proviron the last 2 weeks at atleast 100mg pday. If you are battling with water the last week, use 25mg Spiractin the last 7-10 days out, add in Lasix 20mg twice daily the last 24h if you still carry water. Just like me close to 40, oestrogen is very hard to contain - what I have found to harden up well, is to increase my Kessar to 60mg pday the last 7 days pre-contest.
The last 4 weeks your injectables should consist of:
- Test-prop 100mg every 48 hours
- Winstrol as Conan suggested
- Trenbolin 150-225mg every 2-3 days with ample amounts of water, tender love and care and buckets full of understanding from your wife! Nearly lost mine alive...
- Masteron 50-100mg every 2'nd to 3'rd day depending on how much fat you still carry - obviously, higher dose more regular if BF% still too high.

Thanks all ,

ok how far out should i look at starting,what dosage of winstrol otherwise i think i could sort out a decent program .

again thanks all.

Winstrol about 6 weeks out. Remember Winstrol gives you sore joints, you are already suppressing your oestrogen levels(hopefully) 6 weeks out - so, having Winny on board for too long, is going to give really sore joints, sometimes to the extent that it becomes difficult to train. And you don't want to use NSAIDS, as they lead to water retention... So, I think 6 weeks is OK. I did that last year, and then decided to do a second show 6 weeks later - my joints screamed for some oil...

doc whats ur view of using something like arthroguard along side winstrol? i have been using arthroguard with my winny for the last 3 weeks and i havent experienced the joint pain,and usually by week 2 i can feel the lack of lube...
