Hi boys n girls! I have a few questions for the experts on the drugs, diet, soforth for my first contest. I have about 15 weeks to become a lean machine, but my boyfriend thinks its gona be very hard since he just measured my bodyfat. Im at approximately 19-20% right now, Im 5'9 at 155.6ibs. I started my first cycle 1 month ago....5 mg Var for two weeks, then bumped to 10 recently. Ive gained 2 lbs in that time frame.
First question, I think I stalled out on losing weight(thats what my bf says)because my cals were around 1550 a day for a VERY LONG TIME!! Just this past week, he told me to up the cals to around 1800 for a week to get my metabolism going again, then drop to 1600 cals for 2 weeks, then start the first phase of my contest prep. I was wondering if this is do-able for me in that amount of time since I have to drop about 10%. BTW, Im training heavy 4-5 days per week with 30-40 min cardio 5 days. Some steady state, some HIIT. I'm actually looking to start Lyle McDonalds Ultimate Diet 2.0 for my prep. Very excited because I know this is highly effective!
Next question is, those of you that compete and cycle, should I cycle off for a period in time and do a mini cycle a few weeks before, or should I stay on the Var for a few more weeks up until a week out? Would really appreciate some help! Im so confused!!!
