Should I CRUISE ? ? ?

[bbminded]

Whats everyone!

Real quick a little about me

29
6ft
245lbs
15 years training
about 8 cycles

I am currently 8 weeks into a 14 week cycle

test E-500mg 1-14wks
deca - 300mgwk 1-12wks
dball 20mg 4-wks
a-dex .5 eod
Ive got nolva, aromasin, and hcg also for pct
So far things have been going awesome. started at 215lbs and am currently at 245.
SO heres the deal, ive always wanted to do and competition and when i looked at the npc shedule they have a show on may 2 which would be perfect for me. There is no way i could do a show in the summer because of the nature of my job at that time. But by the time i finish up my current cycle and run my pct i wouldnt have enough time to start my cut cycle. so would it be ok to maybe run 250mg a week of the test E along with hcg at say 250twice a week starting when i get to the 14th week and then when im say 10weeks out from the show i can start my cut cycle?(thinking about test P,tren a, and mast) i appreciate any input!!

[jethro1]

No I say go off and recover you dont want to get into that habit. Plus you put on thirty lbs already. I bet your BP is through the roof!!!

i actually check my BP just about every day. its almost always 140 over 80

Thats systolic hypertension my friend, better up the cardio...

[bbminded]

Thats systolic hypertension my friend, better up the cardio...

yea true, however i did read where dave palumbo said that it not uncommon for a bodybuilder higher up in lbs to have a higher systolic just as long as the lower number stays around 80. now that i think about it i usually check my BP not to long after my workouts.

Look man we all know u swing the other way, but why don't you actually post something useful in the thread.

Or better yet any thread.

I would post cycle then cut if timing permits.

Agreed to many people giving out advice before asking for the basics...
And sometimes bad advice..

[vishus]

^^^true, i just got done with my bulk cycle and am on PCT, i got a show the second week of may and im taking time off in between and then going to run cut cycle, just easier on my body IMO

[bbminded]

not sure about my bf% if i had to guess prob around 10-14% my abs are clearly visible but not ripped to the bone. i have always had a realy fast metabolism. plus my job is basically 8 hours of cardio a day LOL. my diet is pretty consistent. always have a whey shake mixed with gatorade in the morning and another one after my workout. and a casein shake befoe bed. also have a egg sandwich early and a Pb+j sandwich. then another tuna or turkey sandwich. allways have almonds on me. in the evening ill have a huge dinner of either chicken. steak, or halibut with most often brown rice.

So what your saying is that you don't know you daily intake of calories/protein/fats/carbs ?

right im just trying to bulf right now and eat as much as i can but keeping it as clean as i can with of course some cheat meals!

[DSM4Life]

Then you are no where near competition level if you don't know this. You need to know/understand how to properly cut/gain/maintain with a given amount of calories (pro/carb/fats). Further more , you shouldn't even be on a cycle.

Or you could just go with jethro1's advice. Up to you.

thats why i plan getting with a trainer/nutrionist to help me prepare for a show. it seems what im doing now is working fine. 30lbs so far and staying lean. and i shoudnt be on a cycle??? ok dude you havent even given and any input to my question.

[DS21]

If I'm doing my math right, you really wouldn't have time to actually cruise. 6 more weeks of this cycle and then 10 for your cut would put you around may 2nd, right?

You know what i think you are just about right on that. would that be stupid to go from a long bulk cycle right into and 10week cut cycle to prepare for a comp. i would of course take a long break after all that to get things back to normal. id really like to do this competition cause as i said there is no way i could do it latter into the summer. other option would be to wait till fall.

[jimmyinkedup]

ok you want input - i dont like the idea of cruising and your planning for your contest as far as cycling and diet go obviously is poor and lacking.....

[bbminded]

All im doing right now is bulking. im eating as much and as clean as i can. its obviously working so i dont feel the need right now to figure to the "T" how many cals or fats im getting. i know roughly where my protein is. of course when dieting down for a show i will have to make sure to do all those things. I wasnt asking a nutrition question to even begin with and you and gay avatar guy are just being negative. if you cant help me with more info on the pros and cons of cruising for my situation then dont bother taking the time to be negative to my post unless it gonna help

I just did the math... this doesn't make sense. You still have what 6 weeks left in your cycle correct?? and you want to run a 10 week cutting cycle.. prior to May 2nd??

1.) That doesn't give you any time to cruise. (May 2nd is 14 weeks away). So essentially what you're proposing is ending your current bulking cycle, and then jumping right onto a cutting cycle correct?? and thus never giving your body any time whatsoever so recover.

2.) Since you aren't going to be "cruising" since you don't have a proper time frame you are going to be shutdown for what.. this cycle + another cycle = 4 -5 months.

I actually agree with DSM... you don't sound like you're prepared.

[romo6]

I will say one thing, you better make sure and be prepared to what can happen when you cruise.HRT for life.Or one hell of a long hard miserably pct recovery.

[jimmyinkedup]

seriously if you spent the time you are wasting here asking about cruising when you dont have time to even cruise ...and cycles for a contest where your cycle timing is obviously wayy off - well lets just say your time would be better spent on your "i go by how i feel" diet...thats good advice u r getting - i wouldnt dismiss it.......

[Immortal Soldier]

Alright all you guys need to give a guy a ****ing break. You are all bagging on him and quick to point out his errors and continue to repeat it like parrot.

We obviously know his diet isn't down and he doesn't have macros, we don't need 10 posts saying the same thing. Instead answer the guys ****ing question.

Seriously, point out his errors then answer his thing instead of just saying the same thing over and over by 10 different people.



Since no one else wants to do the long and dirty I will do it.


To the OP:

1. Cruising is not something to be taken lightly and should only be used when you have experience in cycling and want to take the next step. Right now I can tell you are not ready. 29 is not the age to be going on cruising you are still young and your test levels while not what they use to be are still enough to build muscle without. HRT is a serious thing.

2. Sign up for the account called FitDay

http://www.fitday.com/

You can monitor your macros for free and you won't need a nutritionist to tell you what your eating. Plus this will help you monitor where you need to (carbs, protein,etc.) and help improve your diet immensly.

3. Do not do the competition on May 2nd. Instead do this cycle and bulk then take the adequate amount of time off and run the cutter in summer and compete in Fall. (You will have a better chance of winning and you will spare your health in the process)

Really? I guessed I missed the part where you mentioned Fitday or any other program to help him with his diet. About time you answered his question after all the posts you made.

And if you look at the time you posted your post and when I posted mine you could use something called your brain and figure out that I was typing my post when you posted yours.

Thanks dude! i felt like i was getting ganged up on for something i didnt even ask. ill check that website out for sure. and il start looking for some shows in the fall. i live in the southeast so if anyone knows of any please let me know!!

The funniest thing about people saying it is so hard to recover from a 5 month cycle is they more then likely haven't tried it. If any of you saying it is extreamly hard to recover, and have actually tried please speak up. I know quite a few people that run cycles year long and recover in 2 months or less. I would do it, but I also don't compete. If your plan is to compete then run this bulk for 12 weeks, jump into your cutting cycle, or how ever it times out for your show. Then take 6-8 months off. Come on guys, he is running a light cycle of deca and test.

By the way, what is your cutter going to look like? And I would get your diet down packed.

My friend is on HRT @ age 20 because he ran a 5 month cycle of anadrol / deca / test. So yah, I do know it's pretty hard to recover.

He doesn't know his cycle yet: "(thinking about test P,tren a, and mast)"
another reason I do not agree with this cruise. He has no planning done whatsoever

[bbminded]

Hence the reason why im asking here. i havent started my cutting cycle yet.so by me asking i am in a way planning by doing research.

It's fine. I wasn't flaming you at all buddy. I was just point out the obvious, since everyone seems to be bitching about over-posting, etc.

Do you want help with you cutting cycle, or what? List the proposed dosages out.

Im probably gonna make a blended dose of tren50, prop100, mast100 per ML. Ive never done tren before so i want to take a little lower dose. i do have NPP that i could make it with instead of the tren.
