My contest prep info for a major show!! cycles and everything !!

[Project X]

Hello,
My name is project X. I will keep you in suspense and will not reveal my identity untill a week before contest. The contests are NPC National level shows and only the best of the best will be there. My goal is to crack top five in each show which are 4 weeks apart. As of tonight My weight was 225lbs 7.5 % bf at 5'9. 28 years old. I have been clean for a good 5 months. My friend introduced me to pro hormones and suggested i use them to get my body anabolically ready and his theory worked. I started them 4 weeks ago and have gotten alitte more size and alittle bit of strength. I using 4 -nordiol 25 mgs and 4 -androdiol 75 mgs in a cyclodextrin form. I suck on them on the way to the gym for 5 -10 miniutes untill all dissoved

supplements glutemine, creatine, 4-nordiol, 4-androdiol subligular , whey protein isolate , dextrose and maltodextrin, multiviatmen, vitamin C, E Digestive ezyymes, TOTAL EFAS, calmcuim mg zinc

I will be bring you further up dates each week and pics as well of the transformations

Cycle starts in a week and i will post regime

Diet (following massive eating plan) www.*****.com

400-420g protein (40g whey isolate before work out , 75g whey isolate post work out )

275-300g carbs (75-100 grams taken post work out grams taken pre workout)

120-150 g fat (over 40% EFAS)

one cheat meal a week usually on off days - saturday

cardio: 5 times a week post workout 15-20 minutes sub maximal
training : 5 days a week




This thread is to proof you don't need large amounts of drugs to be at the top level and I hope it is an inspiration to people to not to substitue large amounts of drugs for lack of nutrition and hard work, and discpline it takes to reach your goals.


Any questions do not hesitate and pm me

We are here to help one another and to learn from each other's mistakes to help each other succed in what ever one's goals may be. Bodybuilding is all about commrodery. Its not about who you beat or how you placed. its all about self improvements you make each year. Only person your competing against is your self and don't any of us forget it

I would like to thank Anthony DeAngelis NGA PRO for all his training and nutrition guidence through out the years.

[Psycoswole]

Where's the cycle?:confused:

[steelblazin]

shit if you can crack top 5 in your first shot at the npc nationals, i will personally shake your hand. why do i say that....cuz i will be there at both the usa's and nationals here in dallas. i did the nats this year without any help, and yes i did get well up there, but i then again was real in my expectations.



good luck!

[Project X]

I have decided to hold off on my cycle for another month. This will give me a chance to tighten up alittle more so when i do start it will make the chemicals much more effective. I'm going to stay on the prohormones and normal supplements for another 4 weeks and change some things around.

weght training the same

back, traps
chest, calves, abs
rest
legs
arms,abs
shoulders, calves
rest

cardio: changes
5 days a week 25 minutes post work out

diet i cut to 4200 caloires instead of 4500
carbs and fats cut slightly

protein still 400-420 g
carbs 275-300 g
fats 110 g

will take pics next week as well

Pics taken this past sunday

[GuestPoser]

steelblazin,

Not that I am disagreeing, but how do you know Nationals are in Dallas? I've looked at a few sites and haven't seen anything.

Lemme know

[steelblazin]

i live here in texas, about an 1 1/2 hours from dallas. also, i compete nationally, so it's in my best interest to know where my shows would be. if you can't find the contest info guestposer, try this site. www.mostmuscular.com, they cover all the national shows, as well as www.ironmanonline.com

dallas should be a texan friendly contest...maybe i can get one up on X!

see ya'll there in november.

-steel:sot:

[steelblazin]

oh yeah...guestposer, no flame or sarcasm intended.

hey X, looks good dude, i got ya on the quads though!

Thank you for clarifying that.

It is in my best interest to know as well but I had checked a few sites (not recently) and hadn't seen anything. I <i>DID</i> check the NPC newsletter though and confirmed it.

Try to be a little more hospitable to a native Texan though. :hello:

[steelblazin]

let me see, i think it was you who cast the first stone on doubting my contest knowledge. anyways, i don't get on this board to start flaming wars. i'd go to elite to do that. i only offer the knowledge that i am for sure on.

besides..your profile says colorado!

laterz:cool:

[RON]

You look great. Huge and pretty lean. Your wheels might need a little beefin up to make them proportional with that huge upper body but Nov. is a long way away. Could be the shorts. Good luck Bro.

[GuestPoser]

First of all, noone was doubting your "knowledge" of anything. I simply asked you a ****ing question.

And where I live <I>now</I> has nothing to do with simply answering a question politely.

[RON]

Chill out bro.. The internet is no place to start a fight. Sometimes we take things the wrong way. I saw nothing in the first few posts for you guys to get so upset about so step back and check your selves.;)

[steelblazin]

whatever man.
i would suggest not making jacked up comments to me like that again. if all you had to was start a flaming war then whatever. i've been here long enough to know better.

this is squashed....period.

next....

[PaPaPumP]

Bro, you're looking good. Very nice size, and you're already lean. Keep doin what you are doing. If you ever want to cross the line, which I DO NOT reccomend what so ever, hollar at us and we'll write you a doozy.:D

[Project X]

i'm now in week 2 of contest prep. On sunday I weighed exactly the same as last week (224), but i got alittle tighter and fuller, the previous night I went with a few of my friends to an all you can eat sushi bar for my cheat meal. We were there for almost 2.5 hours eating. Sushi made me very vascular and very tight mostly proabably from all the sodium in it. I notice my face is getting leaner and jaw line is getting more pronounced and more seperations in my shoulders, and in my quads. legs are startring to get alittle harder as well as my mid section

diet stayed at
420 g protein
275-300 g carbs
100-120 gram fat
water intake:same
cardio: 5 times a week at 25 minutes post work out
supplements: same as previous week
this week I may add in Tribestan at 4 pills a day (2 with meal one and 2 with pre work out meal)


pic will be posted next week for week three

I would like to thank Sassey69 Female modr from ELite for formating my pics : )

[hugegunz]

Good luck in the show. You can see the transformation already. My buddy is getting ready for the same show. He is going in as a heavyweight. Right now he is 5'8" and 255.

[bufchic]

Super nice upper body. We need to see the legs though! Dont cover em. Im not clear on what show/s you are getting ready for? Or did you say? The contests are NPC National level shows

is there any prize money in the show ??
Dont we wish.

SB... throw some valium into your stack. I didnt know where Nationals where yet either.

[ptbyjason]

Project X, you look great bro. I should be at Nationals this year since it will be in Dallas (only watching though :) ). Will look forward to cheering you on.

TO WHOM THIS CONCERNS: Arguing about something in this man's thread is rude. You have no right to do that in his thread and try to take away from it in anyway. If you want to argue, TAKE IT TO PMs. Come on guys you have been here long enough to know the rules. Show a little netiquette.

[Project X]

Contest I will be doing are the Jr. USA's in Philadelphia April 29 and the junior natinoals in chicago June 16. Hope this helps !

:lol:

ptbyjason this is an awesome site. information is so much more realistic then other boards I have been in and the people are much nicer and not at each others throat. keep up the good work. If I had time I could be a mod, but unfortunately I don't



:(

[bufchic]

Ill be at Jr. N. Ill go around asking everyone if theyre project x, just to say hi. :wg: I hope you dont show up on the 16th though cause well all be there on the 15th.
So do we get to see some legs???:)

[primodonna]

I will probably be there helping a friend of mine who is competing...then again if i qualify for it in may, i may just do it for the hell of it

haha...right bufchic? :)

[mando]

hey project x ..everythings coming on jus fine ,,, jus maintain a positive mindframe during the last few weeks!! ....secondly did u do an offseason cycle ?? if yes what was it ?? and how much did u gain ?? thanxs..

[bufchic]

then again if i qualify for it in may
No no no ......when I qualify for it in may;)

[Project X]

No bro,
No off season cycle. I start 12 weeks out and grow right into show time. Currently I'm weighing 220 and alot leaner and still ahven't started my cycle not till feb 1st thats 12 weeks befoe the show. And I know what my capabiitiies are when I do start my cycles. The longer you have been clean the better you respond to less doasages. Feb 1 I will be clean for 7 months and still holding upto 90% of my gains retained. As stated before I don;t really on drugs to get big, but to hold what you have when you diet down.

WOW...are you kidding me? If that's you...i never would have guessed...

You have made some major improvements...and we'll finally be dieting together :)

[Project X]

Buff Chick,
I have wheels, but I like to keep people in suspense. and yes primo i have made some major leaps and bounds since we have first conversed years ago. My stength has really increased from the style of training and my very tight eating habits. People that aren't geared know that eating habit to mbe meticulaous in order to achieve desired results. This year again to hopefully break top 5 at the Jr. Usas and also Top 10 or even top 5 in the junior natinals. My wheels my not appear to be big now but real bodybuilders do not get judged off season, but rather on stage !! plus also remember that I am also clean so one can imagine when i get ready to roll I need to only diet for 8-6 weeks for a show to come in peak condition, Again i hope to make the light heavy weights becuase I can not afford to gain too much weight thatswhy i'm leaning down with out anything so I can just gain lean mass and no bloat !!

PS PRIMO YOU STILL OWE ME PICS BABE

:lol:

I hope this thread contiunes to grow and people can not only see the transformation, but may learn a little bit as well from it

[bufchic]

Hey now, I didnt say you didnt have legs. Some of the best legs Ive seen on guys where being covered by long, loose shorts. Then POW... there they are. I just feel you should show your physique to its full potential.real bodybuilders do not get judged off season, but rather on stage
I kinda have to agree.

[Project X]

Buff chick,

My philopshy is that I never show goods becuase that takes away all the mystery. The best words to describe me is a

SLEEPER!!!!!

People have always busted on my legs that why I never train in shorts! In high school I was called chicken legs. They aren't really huge, but they do get incredible ripped. Cuts get so deep you can stick quarters in them. Its all about symmtry, I have more then enough size. Women where i'm at hate Bodybuilder's mostly for the fact that are jealous and would never have half the discpline it takes for any feamale or male in excellent shape. One thing Bodybuilding has taught me is commodery and also lots of discpline. No other sport has given me this !

Peace out
project X

[bufchic]

I can understand. I show up at pre judging in a warm up suit covered head to toe.

Excuse me.....ahum.....**** those woman. I have always said that woman that dont like bb guys are jealous and feeling insecure. 90% of them anyhow, the rest Im sure its just not for them. They are exactly the reason I dont have but 1 or 2 female friends.
There is NOTHING like a bb.

[Doc40]

Its amazing how people just dont understand our culture. Now i must say im only a student in college but i am consumed by the BB lifestyle. I have to explain to my peers why I dont eat too many carbs and why i go to the gym twice, once for cardio the second to lift, and also why im trying to reach a certain amount of protein each day. Its a lifelong commitment that some dont care to understand, of course i dont totally restrict myself, I have fun. I just like the lifestyle and it feels great to have someone(especially a female) show their gratitude. Peace, Doc. :lift:

[hugegunz]

I agree. It really is increadible how people just dont understand our sport and lifestyle. The stares and comments just get annoying after awhile. Just because we have the dedication to bust our asses in the gym, with our diets and choose to look a certain way we get stereotyped as muscleheads, steroid users, etc. I think it freaks people out when they find out I am a corporate lawyer, although I try to hide it from the people at work. It is amazing what a suit will cover up. People know I work out alot, but thats all. Sometimes when I am on, people at work will make comments but I brush them off. I agree with bufchic. Most people are just jealous of how we look and anyone who says otherwise is bullshitting you.

[Doc40]

So tru, so tru. I completely agree with you. Because i know how to follow a strict diet, i am considered a steroid user because my diet reflects my gains.

[Canes4Ever]

Looking good and good luck in the upcoming shows. Hope you place weel, and I like the confidence you show. That goes a long way in projecting on stage.

[Project X]

MY FINALLY ANSWER - start this week


Suggestions if any- i tried to plan this the best i can with as little checmicals as possible

calculated its averages out to about 600-800 mgs a week this is my threshold anything more then that i think is a waste for me at least, my receptors are wide open and rearing to go :)

I got 12 weeks to go till first show !!

Week 1-4
1/2 ad 50 a day
week week 1-8
1 sus 1 cc eq (200 mg)every 4 days
week 4-11
gh 3 ius a day 5 days on 2 days off
week 3-8
insulin 5 ius working up to 10 ius post work out
week 8- contest week 12
75 mgs of tokkoy tren with 100 mgs eq m,w,f
50 mgs winny every day 25mgs split up in am and pm
clen 2 weeks (max 100mcgs a day) on 2 week Eca stack

2 week before contest
20 mgs halotestin a day


liquidex .5 every day through out cycle

current stats

5'9 220-225 at 6% bf ( been drug free since last august) hoping to make the light heavy weights for jr. Usas April 27 and junior nationals june 16

diet as of now spread over 7-8 meals

400-420 protein
300-325 carbs
100-120 fats mostly EFAs, cashews, and other nuts and oils

cardio is at 20-25 minutes 4 days a week post work out
weights heavy and intense 5 days a week

I have new pics coming very soon once sassy 69 gets them edited

and changes have been very noticeable !! alot more symetry
any suggestion would be greatly appreciated

remeber its not what you look like now but what you look like day of the show !! GOD I HOPE I CAN MAKE MY CLASS !!

[bufchic]

Your stack doesnt look too bad. At your weight you need more GH. 3 IUs isnt gonna cut it.
If your looking to hit light heavies that may be tough if you are already at 6%. You dont have another 20-25 to lose. And your water will only be 2-3lb. You had better up those carbs! Cause without enough you are going to lose muscle, no matter how much shit your taking. All that protein is totally unnecessary. Do some extra cardio come in in better "condition".

[Project X]

Sorry guys it took so long to get pics up, but i have been very busy. I just started my first week of my cycle and things are going pretty well. don;t know whether its the prop from the sus kicking in but i noticed alittle kick from some thing. Doing long bar curls with 185 for 8 reps hasn't been a normal for me.

got 13 weeks and counting
Diet is prety much the same
400 grams protein
350 carbs - went up alittle but not bad
120 fat

cardio is at 20-25 minutes 4 times a week not on leg day or day after

:lol:

[Gonna Be HUGE]

Damn, bro. You're getting thick as hell!!! I'm jealous!! LOL

[Pete235]

Maybe it's just the pics, but your calves are nowhere near the rest of your body...they look to be about 16". However, I could be wrong.

[Project X]

like I said pete, bodybuilding is an optical illusion, remeber i'm covered in hair i got veins running through my legs and trhrough my calves, yes i know my calves are my weak point, but every thing comes in when i'm dieted down. I must be doing something to be qualifed for national level show. I won my class as a very reputable show wher there were 15 competitors where majority of them peaked at night and not at the prejudging. Number one rule at regiional shows the real judging is done in the morning and the night show is just show. By the way better work on your tummy too much beer drinking LOL. You dont; get judged offseason bro day of judgement is contest day and I'm not the biggest but i will be one of the best condtionined !!

peace

[Pete235]

I'm going to have to assume you meant "beer" drinking. However, your assement is off...my over abundence of BF is from an undisciplined diet consisting of too much junk food, I've stated many times that I have a long way to go and that my main goal was to drop BF, I admitted to it and I am working on that belly :) Then again I'm not planning on winning a regional show, or competing Nationally...I'm enough of a realist to understand that I don't have the time or genetics to invest in such a venture. I'm a huge fan of the sport and realize the sacrifices that have to made in order to succeed at the highest levels...that's not for me. I also assume that the vast majority of members here are in the same boat as I am...lifting and training for the sheer pleasure and self worth.

I made one small comment about how small you calves were and you proceeded to exlain judging procedure and how you will be dialed in on game day...more power to you....but we've all heard that story before. No flame "PX" but if you can't take a little constructive criticism...don't post your pics. Don't get me wrong you look great...you destroy my phyique, but I sure as hell will not be standing next to you on stage. :) So why did you post your pics? BTW...Berry looks better than you, but it's nice of you to offer your help.

[Billy Boy]

Well we have got the coals burning nice and bright here

Project X
Its great to have goals and to aim high but just remember the higher you aim the bigger the fall if it does go wrong.I set goals but they are ones I feel I can reach.I hope you reach yours.

Pete you have been making good progress and are one of the most level headed guys on here and I know I am one of many who wishes you every success in your comp.Go get them!!

[Project X]

Yes berry does look better then me, He has one of the most symmtrtical physiques on this board. No matter how cocky i may be I give my assistence to alot of people. hey can take what I say with the grain of salt or hey can actualy listen. I'm not trying to bash any one on this board and I have found this one of the most considerable boards on the net. I always offer my help to people if they take it or no thats up to them. Berry right now is in one of the best shape of his life and I wish him the best of luck in his adventures over here in the US. ( BRO IF YOU READ THIS BETTER BRING DUCK TAPE OVER HERE LOL ). I'm not as experimenced as ironmaster or other people on here but I can hold my own. I like stay very low key on the boards. by the way my pics are already posted under another name. : ) Pete you look good bro diet si 70% of the ball game and that is what majority of the people lack and why they are unhappy with them selves and are looking for assistent. You can give a monkey drugs and show it how to train, but you can;t teach it how to feed itself properly. Thats problem with alot of people on the boards. They take large amounts of drugs and neglect training and proper nutrition and wonder why they never get results !! I see it to many times. Take care pete and if you need heklp let me know. This board is about ommerdery not people bashing and under no circumstance would I ever bash anyone. I'm here to offer my assistence to any one who wants it.

Later

[Project X]

Sorry if i game across the wrong way but this is the biggest show in my life so far and i was supose to do it 2 years ago got I almost had to go to the hospital about 3 days becuase of electrolytre balnce and fatique. So I plan on doing top 5 and i will be on my home turf. PETE BRO JUST STICK WIT IT AND YOU WILL REACH YOUR GOAL BEST OF LUCK TO YOU

Pete was trying to be constructive, and I know he wasn't being mean. No one on these boards has been mean to me so far, everyone has been freindly and helpful.

I love these boards because of the commaradery. Keep liftin' brother, and get closer to that goal, we're with ya !

AS of now I'm 225 at under 6% bf. Every thing is finally kicking after 5 weeks. My doages where actually lower then anticpated becuae the test was underdosaed. In a week or so i'm kicking in the gh and should take me to about 230 same body fat or lower. Curerently I'm follwing a diet similar to beverally internation with slight modification. caloires are range from 4000-4500 caloires a week some times pushing 5,000 on the week end. AS you can say I'm a genetic freak when it comes to metabolsim. The more i eat the bigger and harder I become. as of now i'm doing about 600 mgs total fro the week. yes read that 600 MGs. As stated before , I was never into heavy dosages. I have 8 weeks to go to the Jr. USA's. Progress is going good. Pics will be posted when i have time. Just right nowits not possible. Big kevin i'm cathcing you bro arms are pushing 20 1/2 inches : )

Project X, I thought you where doing Jr. USA? Isnt that the first show you are talking about? Thats way less then 10 weeks away. Jr. Nationals are 11.5 right now.

"caloires are range from 4000-4500 caloires a week some times pushing 5,000 on the week end. "
Can you clarify this? You cant seriously only be eating 4500 cals a week??? Do you mean you are eating 5000 over the weekend?

[Project X]

daily caloric intake is about 4200 calories at a 40/40/20 ratio . I decided to pass on the Junior Usa even though I would be ready, right now i'm about 3-4 weeks out from contest conditoinng, glutes are seperated, christmas tree in and legs, chest, triceps are cross striated up. Just work and stress in general would cause me to loss to much muscle. A few weeks ago i was not in the right mind set and I would prefer to take my time instead rushing it and end up getting sick. To me Bodybuilding is not worth jeaopardizing my health. I almost had a close call 2 years and almost lost my life. between stress, moms breast cancer diagnosos. 2 days before contest i got a stomach viruis and my water intake was already low. thursday night I woke up and with the worst cramps that i had ever experienced. My stomach starting rolling and then it happened. I ran into the bathroom and starting blowing out water. It was like niagra falls out my ass. That night I weighted 205 when i went to bed, plus with the diurectic and cutting back water added insuilt even more ! In the morning I woke up flat as a pancake went down to eat barely had enough stregnth to get out of bed , and just stared at my food !! I had blown out all my electrolytes and had no appetite, my heart was racing a mile aminute. I looked like death. had no desire to do anything just lay aronud and sleep. My good freind called me and told me to go get pedaltye and to eat. By night time i was back almost back to 50% my normal levels. I did not compete that saturday, but i got ont he scale sat ant i was 183. So i learned my lessons to make sure i'm mentally and phyisically prepared to be at my best Each contest is a learning experience !!

take care Project

Sorry bros for not getting up dates, but with getting up at 5 am for morning cardio and other contest prep I just haven't had time to check in. Update weight is 216lbs and very lean at 5.3 %. Every thing is straited and chrismtas tree is is fully visible with 4 weeks to go for my practice show.

cardio 45 minutes (moderate) 6 days a week first thing in the morning
weight training 4 days a week 60 minutes high intensity
posing 15 minutes in the mornning and after weight training

current diet
400 g protein
275 g carbs not including fibrous
60-70 g fat

all protein shakes and diary is cut just all solid food. Cutting these out of diet has made biggest difference in tightening my skin up !! I believe in a slow gradual decline. It is easier to control and adjust !! Less variables to contend with.

every 5 day s i drop 25 grams from carbs and reasses phyique

[str82hellnback]

so where some pics at?

[Trianon]

great thread and progress, big guy!

150 carbs yam,oatmeal, brown rice
60 fat

cardio is 6 days 45 minutes
body 5 just crack the 4% range at a weight of 216 lbs been clean for 6 weeks and feeling great. I'm off all supplements other then Vitamins and minerals. I stopped glutemine , dairy, whey protein shakes just ruining on all solid foods and is working like a charm not as hungry and body is porcessing it so much better !! I'm going to do a dry run in 2 weeks to tighten me up even more My skin is so tight and feels like its going to tear, Just got to get some shit off my lower back and dry out. I figure I got 5-6 more lbs of fat and 6 lbs of water to go and 2 lbs of nerves :) i'm 5 weeks out now from junior nationals in chicago on june 15. I want top 3 !! but will settle for top 5 : ) carbs drop 10 % each week and protein goes up slightly to make differnce. If I place high enough I may do the USA's in july !! See what happens !!

Now the project is time to reveal who he really is. My original name was hardasnails1973. I just competed in the Lehigh Valley and took my class and missed the over all. I lost to the middleweight due to my posing no conditioning. I was 195 lbs but alot harder and more conditioned then ever. I have the junior nationals in 2 weeks where I hope to plan cracking the top 5. that is my goal ! I was clean for 8 weeks prior before the contest and I will be going into the junior nationals 10 weeks clean. Beverly international was a big help in helping me to keeping all my gains from. I still benching 405 for a few and handleing heavier weight as if I was on. It is amazing what sound diet and smart traiing can accomplished. Pics will be posted in a few days. !!
