    Should I CRUISE ? ? ?

    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!!

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.....

  24. #24
    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.

    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.......

    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.

    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

    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.
