Question about gear usage and competition...

**spound** · 10-03-2005, 12:06 AM

Im planning on doing a show next summer...probably around july or august. I just got off an 8 week prop/tren cycle about 5 or 6 weeks ago. And was contemplating my gear usage over the next year. Would you guys do a bulker, and then take a short break (4-6weeks) and then do a 12 week cutter leading up to the show? Or would it be better to do one big cycle of 24 weeks (12 bulking, then straight into 12 cutting)???

I'd take the break. A lot will depend on your diet, gain as much size as possible up until a few months before the show. Try and keep BF under 12-15% to make your precontest dieting a bit easier.

I'd run a 24-weeker personally

The only thing I am taking into consideration on that though, Is the fact that when I stay on for long periods of time (like more than 12 weeks), I dont make ANY gains, and I start to feel like im not even on juice. But when You start up a new cycle, you always haev that great initial very anabolic effect, ya know?

I prefer 12-15weeks and then a good PCT and maintain gains until next go around. I have yet to try a long one but like you said I tend to see less gains so I get off.

Well you are not going to make any gains while dieting anyway. And i dont think a 4-6 week break is long enough especially if your run long acting gear while bulking i would go 24 weeks.
