It's nice to see you getting better & better!
I'm have finished deload phase with 1,5ml sustanon 250 per week (375mg per week).
I'm at 9-10% bodyfat at the present.
Now i am doing 10 weeks contest-prep cycle (contest day is going to be at the last day of week 10 (sunday morning until afternoon)).
Week 1-4 (first 4 weeks) : 10mg m1t (as i still have enough leftover tabs of m1t)
week 1-10 : 500mg sustanon per week for week 1-7, then reduce to 250mg per week for the last 3 weeks do not use sustanon for last 4 weeks of contest prep because it has too long of a half life. Go with test enanthate and stop altogether 3 weeks out from show. You could use test prop up until a week out.week 1-10 : 300mg trenbolone enanthate per week increase tren-e to 600 mgs 4 weeks out from show
week 5-10 (last 6 weeks) : 50mg oral winny for 3 weeks, then double dose to 100mg for the last 3 weeks looks goodwhat do you think of my contest-prep cycle plan?
Regarding trenbolone, i decided to use enanthate version rather than acetate (as you recommended in this thread).
It shouldn't be different than acetate in term of its strength & effect, should it? no, just less side efects for some and fewer injections because so many people including dave palumbo prefer fast acting trenbolone (acetate) since it would yield better results, greater hardening effects & fat loss. tren is tren just as test is test. Dave is mistaken on this topic!
the testosterone i use is sustanon 250, it should be no problem to use for contest-prep, shouldn't it? do not use last 4 weeks. Switch over to test prop.i wouldn't buy another test e since i have already had hundreds ampoules of original organon (pharma grade) sustanon 250 and it's definitely authentic & legit (not fake).
Do i need to switch the sustanon to short ester test like test prop for the last 4-5 weeks? yes! since i have 3 vials of test prop at 100mg/ml.
If yes, i wanna dose them 100mg eod until the show day. 1 1/ 2 ccs eod until 7-10 out. what do you think of this? Or stay on sustanon could do the good job in contest-prep cycle? no, you will hold water!
what's your opinion on anti-estrogen (femara/letrozole) for the last 2-3 weeks of contest-prep? letro is best.how to dose them correctly without getting too much sides like zero sex drive, dry joints, crashed lipid profile, since i have already incorporated oral winny into last 6 weeks of cycle?
I know that letrozole is very strong aromatase inhibitor and many people use low dose with great effects.
I am planning 1/4 tab femara eod for last 3 weeks, is this enough to enhace dryness without too much sides? you need 1 tab of letro daily last 2 weeks and theres no way of getting rid of negative side effects those last 4 weeks before a show!
for fat burner, as per you recommended, i would use 2 weeks on / 1 week off.
Here is my plan :
80mcg clen per day for week 1 & 2 then off for 1 week.
Then switch to eca (25mg ephedrine & 200mg caffeine 2-3 times per day) for week 4 & 5 then off for 1 week. no do not switch to eca. Clen and eca hit shut down the same receptors and eca is more dangerous imo. Stay with clen 2 weeks on/1 weeks off and make sure you stay on the last week of the show or cortisol levels may rise and cause you to hold water. then back to 80mcg clen per day for week 7 & 8 then off for 1 week.
Then eca again (25mg ephedrine & 200mg caffeine 2-3 times per day) for week 10
(i alternate clen to eca usage because to save my clen on my limited budget (only have 90tabs of 40mcg clen) since i still have many ephedrine hcl tabs & caffeine tabs)
what do you think of this? It shouldn't be no problem, right? you can do it but you take a chance using ecai am thinking of doing do low-dose of diuretic because i wanna stay on test until the show day. no! Dont do it! Diurectics can cause kidney failure and you do not want to eliminate all water but you do want to control water intake. Taking out all water will cause you to go flat just as taking out salt will give you a puffy wet look. Since dropping test 2-3 weeks prior to show have always made me look flat on stage. you were flat due to a lack of water and salt not becaue you took out test. A diurectic will flatten you oout, even if you are using test!on saturday (last day before the contest day), i'm gonna use 1/2 tab of 25mg hydrochlorothiazide at noon then 1/2 tab at night.
Another 1/2 tab is going to be taken after the first meal of the contest day. (the total is only one and a half tabs of 25mg hydrochlorothiazide)
what is your opinion about this? no! Go into the show using letro, winstrol and tren-e and you will be hard. It's been my experience that a lot of people make the mistake of cutting out all water and dehydrating themselves along with eliminating salt and really mess up their conditioning.
regarding water intake, i would continue taking lots of water until thursday, then reduce water intake to half on friday, then no water after 1pm on saturday.
Do i cut water too fast / to early? Because my contest is going to be on sunday morning (about 10am). cut off water at bedtime and sip only tiny amounts the next day as needed to fill out. When you drop water in half the day before your body revolts by holding water and never reduce salt. Keep it the same so you come in hard with a pump!
same here for sodium intake, i don't do any sodium loading or depleting.
I just take normal sodium until thursday, then restrict sodium (but not eliminate all) on friday & saturday. no! Do not reuduce salt intake!on contest day (sunday), i would take carb/fat/sodium meal for the first meal to get full & hard. yes on this!
as for carb intake,
i am going to do low carb (0.5gram per pound of bodyweight) for sunday until thurday while keeping protein still high (1.5gram per pound of bodyweight) and keeping fat the same. Carb up hard 4 days before the show. I do it on monday night and all day tuesday before a saturday show. Then go back to the diet that you had used prior to get cut and drink a lot of water so the bloat leaves you. Do a moderate fat/ carb load the night before the prejudging and morning of pre-judging and then again before night show. Control water intake but do not dehydrate yourself.
My last legs training will be on saturday and my last cardio session will be on sunday (a week before show day).
Glycogen depletion training will be done on monday-thursday with the split like this : never do a glycogen depletion through food but you can do depletion workouts on fri, sat, sun mon, by using high reps like drop sets. No cardio for 5-47 days before the show and no working out 3-4 days before a show
monday : Delts + traps + abs
tuesday : Backs
wednesday : Chest + forearms
thursday : Biceps + triceps + abs
friday : Off training / carb-loading
saturday : Off training / carb-loading
sunday : Contest day

I apologize for lots of questions, ron...
