Your metabolism should be burning strong, so yes, you can grow more efficiently in terms of how much fat gain you might otherwise accumulate. But sometimes it's simply more beneficial to rest. Contest prep is hard and wears your body down. Beating your body into the ground right after a show with heavy off-season training right off the bat isn't always the best way to go.
you dont train for 2 weeks after (okay, the imppressive gains must come after this period?)
You can grow any time of the year. I think my above and soon to follow below comments will clear this up.
do you run gear while you dont train?
Testosterone, TRT dose or nothing.
your supposed to have done gaining after 8 weeks? so how do you make gains the weeks after the show?... or will you?
Why are you supposed to be done gaining after 8wks? What happens in 8wks? What determines gaining? The scale, bloat, water weight? You can make progress you're entire off-season regardless of it starting right after your show, two weeks later or even a month or even two months later. I know plenty of guys who do not train at all in Nov. or Dec and do very well.
if you stop the gear obviously you wont make any gains..
Pretty much you worry about growing when you're on gear. When you're off gear you worry about resting.
if a standard prep means you use test prop/tren ace/mast prop, how long will you have to use these for to peak for the show, then make the massive gains the X number of weeks after the prep.. or do you change to something else?
I normally used Test-e exclusively. Switched to propionate a few times but Test-e was always my primary. There's nothing special about Test-p when it comes to leaning out. The idea that you hold less water when using Testosterone Propionate is a myth, one of the finest broscience myths ever created. My theory, a lot of guys use Test-p when dieting, therefore they're leaner and eating cleaner and therefore they hold less water, so they say "must have been the propionate." When you inject testosterone, it's not active until the ester breaks off. Once the ester detaches, you have the same testosterone hormone in your body regardless of the ester that was originally attached.
A contest cycle can last anywhere from 8-16wks. How long is Tren used? Anywhere from 8-16wks. Same for Masteron. Just depends on the year, what you're trying that time around, etc. I've stayed on Tren up to 8 months solid in the past. 300-800mg/wk depending on the month. There's nothing that's set in stone.
I don't understand the last part of this question.
could you devise a prep cycle that will allow one to peak for the show & make the gains after? when your body is supposed to be super anabolic due to the huge increases in food intake..
If you're really worried about blowing up large right after a show, you can use pretty much anything you want. But in my opinion, big fast gains like this are rarely all that sustainable.
much love..
