pre contest and offseason cycling

[cbeaks]

I got a post deleted on this earlier but I'm not sure why. So, I will alter my question a little bit. For those of you in the know, do most top level national competitors take higher dosages in precontest or in the offseason?

Dude, you were reading my mind. I've been meaning to ask this question for weeks. I've always figured you could get by with much less gear during a pre-contest cycle since you're more concerned with maintaining than inducing new growth. I use the analogy that it takes less gas to maintain your current speed than it does to accelerate.

That was my thought too but I thought I had heard a few guys say that they take more before a show. I didn't understand that logic since you aren't taking in enough calories to gain a lot if any muscle. I know they take a lot of different drugs besides AAS before a show like higher GH doses, T3, clen, diurects (only for 1-2 days).

I have read that but it seems very low dose for a pro's precontest stack. It didn't really say how this pro cycled in the offseason either.

Bump...good question.

it depends on budget bro.

I am friends with some a top level pro, and several amatures who have alot of potential to turn pro in the next year or so.

Most will take a month or 2 off of all gear after a contest. Then hit up some bulking stuff plus GH for about 3 months. Doses are prob around 1500mg not including orals and GH, slin. Then there is usually no off time because one would not want to loose gains off there bulk so then the real drugs come into play. Mostly waterbase stuff orals GH, slin. For some reason my boys love suspension and a50. I would say starting 20 weeks out from contest the total gear usage for my buddy who competes at 225 is around 2800mg a week not including 6iu gh and slin.

using "more" is kinda true. Only reason offseason 500mg test with d-bol. getting ready for jr's and seem to stick more often and take more orals. due to lower mg levels per hit. Plus maintaining muscle on strick pre-contest diet with t3 and clen does takes it toll. Anything to keep you stronger and feeling "fuller" helps. When you use product EOD (ie fina, winny, test prop) instead of once or twice weekly sure feels like a lot more too.
