    dont worry so much about quads overpowering hams dan....not at this level. big quads will benefit you for sure...."small" hams wont make a big difference except for in your side chest shot where you want some "hamstring hang". I would just try to get ur hams ripped or at least visible & you'll be fine.
    *side note* on that side chest pose..put the toe or ball of your foot facing the judges right next to your heel of the back leg & point your front knee inward(toward other knee) to make hams appear wide as possible.

    Thanks Jakked. Yeah, I dont think Hamstring's are going to be too big of a problem. I'll work on the posing too.

    After not really progressing much in the past week, I am cutting out the natural peanut butter/protein snack before bed replacing it with just a whey/casein shake. I'm also upping cardio to 45 minutes 5 times a week in the am and 5 additional 15 minute session post workout; basically doubling the cardio.

    Finally switched to Tren -A and I'm running Test-E one more week. Hopefully I'll have some prop by then.

    just curious, what are the compounds that most competitors run the 4 week up to a comp? isnt test dropped? I would think tren , halotestin , winny, and masteron ?

    This is my first comp so take this for what its worht, but based upon the research I have done: some people drop Test completely and others run either prop or suspension. Not sure about halo's use. Winny and masteron are very popular and Tren appears to be becoming more popular as well.

    This is from feb 07' MD mag and someone asked Dave Palumbo the same question about a national competitor last 4 weeks of gear usuage prior to a contest and he said

    WK4 Winny-50mg EOD, Tren -A 75mg EOD, Prop 200mg EOD, Clen 80mcg ED, Cytomel 50mcg ED, GH 4 IU ED

    WK3 Winy-50mg EOD, Tren-A-75mg EOD, Prop 200 mg EOD, Clen 80mcg ED, Cytomel 62.5mcg ED, GH 3 IU ED

    WK2 Winny-50mg EOD, Tren-A-75mg EOD, Prop 200mg EOD, Clen 100mcg ED, Cytomel 62.5mcg ED, GH 2 IU ED

    WK1 Winny 50 mg EOD, Tren-A 75mg EOD, Prop 100mg EOD, Clen 100mcg ED,Cytomel 75 mcg ED, GH 2 IU ED

    As a side note he also said he thinks that too many people abandon the use of test close to a competition and he said you should not because it preserves strength and muslce mass. Also those who abandon it tend to come into a contest looking "flat". Also he suggests that the GH be taken in the morning.

    Good info; of course I dont think anyone wants to look like Palumbo nowadays, but I like his protocall. I'm looking to do something like

    Tren A: 50mg EOD
    Test P: 100mg EOD
    Winny: 50mg ED
    Clen : 50-100mg ED the last three weeks

    I finally shot up the Tren -A last night; the shit I got is sketchy as hell. Came in a half-full, but crimped, 50ml vial; no label. The dosage is "somewhere around 125mg mer ml." Now, for me, I'm not real comfortable with the guy giving me stuff ising the phrase "somewhere around" when talking about it, but I'm 5 weeks out so wtf; shot up 1.25ml last night along with 1.25ml Test-e. Dosage should be about 315ish test-e and 160ish Tren-A? I know that's a pretty bid dose of Tren, but I'm trying to get it in my system fast. I'll drop it down after another 1.25ml dose tomorrow.

    Yeah, it's definately sketchy as hell. I know one guy who ran some from the same batch as part of his precomp cycle about 6 weeks ago and he had good results from it.

    I would be much more comfortable with a reputable lab, but this was all I could get ahold of and it will get the job done I'm sure. I know several guys who have run other compunds from the came producer with good results.

    I'll post of pic of this stuff later. You are going to be really impressed, lol.

    Yeah I trust the stuff; it just looks sketchy as hell.

    On a side note, after breaking my wrist straps last week with 675lbs, I ordered a new heavy duty set from ATP (www.prowriststraps.com). They got here today and are pretty bad ass. Here's a pic of my camoflauge set and the custom set I got my figure competitor/training partner.

    I put them just below knee lvl. I feel this exercise has really put size on my upper and middle back, traps have blown up from these. Plus, these days I dont really do many exercises heavy so it helps to just throw a ton of weight on the bar every now and then.

    My back has really responded well to deads and quater deads/rack pulls. I have found that if I pull my shoulders back at the top of the lift I can get a really good squeeze in my middle/upper back.

    I also like single arm work for hitting the middle back. I feel like I can bring a single arm dumbell or cable row back further than the double armed version which allows a greater contraction of the upper middle back.

    No problems at all and I'm running letro too. Test pretty much makes the big guy act like I'm 16.

    looking great dan......keep posing.. the real lat spread looks killer. rear dble bi needs a little more practice. side chest look ok..Try to keep your left elbow tight to the body & pull upward on the chest & shoulder..in turn pushing the meat of the chest up & in,making the chest look much bigger. you look awesome bruh

    Hey thanks Jakked. Yeah, my posing needs work but I'm on it. I tend to hold one arm higher than the other on both front and rear bicep shots and can't get my legs to look right for the side shots but I"m meeting with my contest prep guy a couple of nights this week to work on posing. I'm also putting together a routine.

    Yeah, I was thinking that perhaps the Tren -A was causing some irritability. I've never really felt much in the way of mood altering effects from anabolics but I have definately been very irritable lately. Of course, it could also be from lack of sleep, all the cardio/workouts and diet. I have also had increased insomnia since starting the Tren-A.

    I figure that I have a lot of tren in my system right now since I went straight from Tren-E to Tren-A, thus starting the Acetate while the Tren-E was still in my system.
