Planning pre contest stack - input please

[Sociabear]

I agree with the mistakes. I have fallen prey to them.

Would you drop the eq in the second one? I don't believe more is better so I don't want to over do it.

With the dry joint topic , I sort of assumed that makes you more prone to injury? If I'm wrong please tell me.

Thanks again the the thought out post I highly appreciate it. Keep them coming please will be reviewing all the input Saturday to outline a plan.

A lot of guys end up hurting themselves the last couple or few weeks before a show, happens all the time or they get so sick at the end of their diet they blow the whole thing...I've done it myself. You know you hear about this or that guy dropping out of a show at the last minute because of an injury or because he got sick, and a lot of times people scream BS and sometimes it is BS but a lot of the time the guy actually is hurt or sick. Anyway, the biggest reason guys get hurt at the end of a diet is because they're not smart with their training. When you're in those last few weeks you're not going to grow and there's certainly no logical reason for doing heavy low rep sets...this is begging for an injury. Train smart...this doesn't mean you're training half ass...but train smart and you should be fine when it comes to injuries. Also, keep in mind if you do end up needing a lot of AI those last couple weeks we're only talking about the last two weeks before the show. Plus, if you're like most all of your actual weight training will be done with no later than the Wed before a Sat show and you won't train legs at all the last 7-10 days, or at least you shouldn't.

The EQ...is it absolutely necessary? No. Will it hurt anything? Probably not. If you were to use it or have any benefit from it IMO it would depend on how long your prep is. If we're talking about an 8wk prep then I don't see any benefit to it. If we're talking about a 16wk prep then I could see a use for it. There are other options too if the prep is a full 16wk prep. Nandrolone is a decent choice at the front end of a prep cycle. A lot of guys will keep a low dose of it in there almost all the way through simply for the joint relief.

I had considered keeping deca in at a low dose like you said for joints , but I don't like the idea of having it fight tren for receptors so to speak.
My prep this year will be 16 weeks. I am running deca now and will run it again before my show stack begins.
Leading up to the show I'll be doing the test/deca cruise I am now 400/300
April I'll start test/tren for a bulk still deciding on my third compound was thinking eq , but 8 weeks to short IMO.
Then I'll run test/deca cruise again
August first I'll begin show stack.

Yes i don't train legs as soon as I hit 7 days out. I've never gone heavy the last few weeks I agree with that. I guess you put of better my workouts felt half assed when my joints dried out, but as I'm jabbering in my head I answered my own question. I should be all ready at 2 weeks out minus some Estro water

The very first show I did (18) I competed in a tested and polygraphed show. The next week I went to an NPC show, so I hit some masteron that week for polish. Shit was phenomenal sense I was already dieted down , next day I looked like granite lol.
