First Cycle Pre Contest Advice Needed

[terrifiednewb]

Hi Guys,

I'm a 25 years old male
5’9 tall
161 lbs
8% body fat

Training consistently for 3 years
This is my first cycle and I have a men’s physique show in 17 weeks

Goal: To Thicken up, build some quality size and then come lean and shredded in time for the show.

17 weeks to my show:

Week 1-11: (Bulk) : Test Prop 100mg EOD (11 Weeks at 300mg per week)

Week 13-17: (Cut): Test Prop 100mg EOD/Anavar 80mg ED (5 weeks and run this through the show)

Week 15-17: Letro 1.25mg EOD

Reason I am running a 17 week cycle is I didn’t want to go too long as my hormones would crash even more after the cycle and the reason why I didn’t want to do a shorter cycle as I wanted to keep the hormones high when I transition into my cut.

Can you advise if this is the correct way to do this and critique the cycle? I don’t really want to anything too harsh as I am a little prone to hair loss and acne (I know I will get this with test anyway but would like to minimise it) so staying away from things like

Also have i apportioned the right time to bulk and cut?

I don't think you have enough time, if you were going to bulk and cut I would use 8 weeks each.

I agree most people i know that compete cut from 12-15 weeks prior to show you should concentrate on you detail whilst not dropping mass as really you dont have time to bulk first
