Any comments on the contest stack

I am 5.9, 240LBS and approx 14% Bf. Which means I need a 2-3LBS loss per week.

Looks pretty good big Al if your body fat is right, i think you should keep carbs as high as you can and still drop the bodyfat. Also may want to cycle carbs a bit more, for example 350g day 1, 250g day 2, 200g day 3, then back up something along that line.

I agree with Silverfox, i think cycling carbs is the one of best dieting strategies out there.

I'm goin through the same process as you right now, and i recommend trying to put together your last week of prep as soon as possible. That week there's a bunch of crazy stuff goin on and i'm still trying to figure out what i'm doin for that week still.

I'm not a juice expert, but that looks like a pretty heavy stack to say the least, but anyways good luck with your contest.

Thanks for the input, I have a good plan for the final week but it is fairly detailed, I will post that nearer the time. The cycle is heavy but based on current levels, plus the structure of the cycle allows the testex and deca to be out of the system in well in advance of the show day, finishing the final weeks with traditional hardening drugs.

I intend to use CV has a means to reduce BF and reducing Carbs as sticking points are hit. I hadn't considered carb cycling, but perhaps this would be used in the final 6-4 weeks? Depending on fatloss up until that point.

contest is not until Late Nov so I will ensure my bf remains in check, I run 2 sessions of CV currently and my diet is a maintenance diet plus 200KCAL so not enough to add extra fat.

Again thanks for the input.


Peace

LOL I suppose it has been afew years since my First Diary....The Diary of a First Time competitor....yep I'm sold on that, plus I am detailing everything for future use so why not share. I'll post nearer the time.

Peace

I know your final week is probably very detailed, as this is where the weird stuff tends to happen in terms of diet, etc.

However, if you could post your final week of prep, i would greatly appreciate it as i am trying to piece together my final week of prep still.

definitely cycle your carbs. if you never allow yourself to carb up in small intervals you will be flat, won't get a pump and will be super weak. thats what happened to me.
