need help in off-season

[nonk-sid]

I'm 33 years old, 5'6 weigh 140 in the off-season @ about 13% bf. I competed in my first bb show this year
year and won 1st in the two shows I competed in. I weighed in at 132 @ 8%bf. I was on
a cycle of clen, cytomel, and win. I'm having trouble figuring out what to do in the off-season as far as diet
is concerned, I'd like to maintain a reasonable bf%. I train very hard in the gym. I squat 405, curl 55, and press 165, I also do 35 to 40 min. of cardio 4 days a week. Is there anything that I can take to help gain mass, but
also loss bf, some help with a good off-season diet would be great also. I have trouble adjusting to the change
my body has made since competing , how do female bb's stay lean and hard in the off-season besides doing
the major steroids.

Please help!!

Congrats.

Adjust your diet. By this I mean make it reflect a higher % of daily proteins. How much bulk and where do you want the bulk at?

And since most of WBB is going the fitness route I think you would be better served to build upon your shreddedness from the first few shows. Work on shape as oppose to mass. But if its mass you want, look into .75-1 gram of protein per pound of your bodyweight. If your consuming that already, then up it to 1.5 and lower your carbs by 15%.

In terms of supplements, try primo this time around instead of the winny. If will affect you a little differently. Also...cut the cyto out to save a little more of the mass if you don't need it to cut up.
