Need Advice

[drewdwn]

I'm 35years old and have been working out my whole life. I'm currently 188lbs 4%bf. I have competed the last 2 years and I need to put on about 10-15lbs. When I start to diet I'm usually around 210lbs and lose about 1 to 1.5 lbs a week during prep. I've tried all the correct diets and supplements in the off season but just can't add anymore muscle. Ideally I would like to compete at about 200-205lbs. I feel i'm kind of maxed out at this weight. So my question is what do you recommend to get that much needed muscle?

are you competing still?

[drewdwn]

Yes. I have a show in a couple of weeks. I tried dieting down differently this time to help retain muscle but ended up the same

[Bio-Active]

What kind of a deplete are you doing pre show and what gear are you running?

if you have a question about a particular steroid , we can do that.

You may wish to spend a few hours here

Steroid Profiles - Steroid .com

and read each of the steroid profiles to get an idea.

Then come back with a specific question, more than happy to answer....

I have had a little experience about 10years ago but have been natural since. My source was just a friend from the gym and I believe it was underdosed at best. I have done some research about the different types. I don't just want to randomly order from places on the net. I'm looking for a basic legit cycle. I want to do it correctly with legit gear.

[Times Roman]

I'd suggest a "first" cycle of 12 weeks of 500mg test e/c - per week

get to know how your body responds to a full test only cycle first before you do anything else.

make sure you like up a proper PCT before you start your cycle. and don't forget your ai during cycle....

Even though you have good experience in the sport. This may not be the best time for you to experiment with aas. I think you still do a beginner cycle with test only to get ur feet wet. But ur so close to a show it would b extremely difficult to time. Test, even with e2 controlled, has a tendency to retain some water. I think it'd b best to experiment when ur not so pressed for time.

When's ur next planned show after this one?

[drewdwn]

Ok thanks. That's pretty much what I was thinking of starting for the off-season. So when I go to these sites I see a number of brands with different prices.. Is it like get what you pay for? Higher price equals better quality?

[drewdwn]

I have another show in June so my off season will start after that. That's when I would like to focus on putting on some size

Ok, good call. Till then do a bunch of research.

We're u in natural bb or open?

And as far as the prices on the site, we don't really talk price or sources on this site. But not always is it what u pay is what u get.

I compete for the love of competing. I have gotten 2 top 5 places and it was awesome. I need a little more beef to get a first. Getting a first isn't why I do this but I would like to know what it feels like.

[Bio-Active]

It's tough cause you just never know who is gonna show up for the show. You just have to make sure you are at your best and that's all tat matters bro
