Spring 2014 / Summer Contest Cycle

[jbw5555]

Here's my proposed 2014 spring cycle, that will be run in prep for my first competition in the summer of 2014.

Cycle strategy:
- 18 week cycle, with the contest at week 15
- I'm planning to run it longer than 15 weeks as I may do 1 or 2 more competitons right after my first (mostly for the experience), if I can stand it.
if not, I'm going to end it at week 15.

- kickstarted by a 4 week sust/dbol/proviron run, then switch to muscle maintenance/diet mode with primo, then cut with GW and s4.

- Diet starts 10 weeks out. I expect to be within 15lbs above my target weight at this point. leaving me a reasonable 1.5lb/week weight loss goal
I've already dieted down with my last cycle from 220 to 200, from about 13%bf to about 8% now, with my low at 195lb, only 5 lbs away from my target over a 16week diet to dry run it. I was close to comp ready during this dry run @195lb.
I did this with slightly calorie deficient diet.

- Goals for the cycle are to maintain muscle mass through the diet phase, and then cut and peak at the right moment (week 15).

- I will taper down the sust beginning 4 weeks out and completely cut out the sust 2 weeks prior to get rid of anything that might retain water

Current stats 44yo, 5' 10", 200lbs (contest weight will be ~190 @5.5%), 8%bf, a few previous cycles, mostly test-e, dbol, proviron based.

Competition date is end of week 15

1-11 sust 500/wk
12-14 sust 250/wk (note last pin is beginning of week 14, comp is in end of week 15, giving 2 weeks between last pin and comp.
1-4 dbol 50mg/day
6-18 Primo 600/wk (13 total weeks, or 10 if I end on contest day)
1-5 proviron 25/day
12-15 proviron 25mg, 50mg, 75mg, 100mg/day progression ... 25 mg bump per week prior to competition, run right up to comp day.
10-15 GW0516 20mg/day
12-15 S4 50mg/day
1-18 HCGenerate es
1-18 n2Guard

i have aromisin on hand, will take when needed, but during the past few cycles I haven't had issues. It's probably the proviron that I like to take in my cycles that keeps estro in check.
last cycle of sust/dbol/proviron, i did 25mg of ari e4d, as a precaution.

PCT (4 weeks)
HCG
clomid 50/50/50/50
DAA powerchews
hcgenerate
unleashed

finish by rolling into bridge, and enjoy the rest of summer.

Thoughts and/or suggestions?

looks real good what are you expecting to weight when your 4 weeks out and start tapering sust bro? are u gonna use any diretics pre contest and are you gonna sodium load at all?

I would consider adding some Masteron for the weeks leading up to the show.

Also just concentrate on one show for your first. Trust me when I say you will be spent, worn out, dehydrated and hungry as shit by the show. You won't be able to wait to get it over with and be normal. Prep takes a LOT out of you if you go in conditioned.

I expect to be about 195 at that time. Not planning on diuretics. The dry run I just did, was diet only I didn't do anything regarding dropping water weight at the end or play with sodium intake. I'll be researching a lot more between now and then. Any tips or pointers would be welcomed.

Yup, masteron has been brought up before as a suggestion. My problem is with doing ed injects. I just don't have the time or privacy to get away with it. If I could, I would certainly add it. Someday I will, just not this time.

Thanks for the advice on the first show... In the back of my mind I think I know that is the reality and that's what will happen, I guess I should just commit to that plan now, and not get distracted.

What's typical on a contest cycle, do most folks run gear up to their comp date and then end it? My comp will be beginning of the summer, so my thought is I might run my cycle slightly longer and after my comp date to continue to look tight over the summer.

Thanks for the feedback.

There is Mast E, which would have the same pinning schedule is the Primo.

^my thoughts exactly. There is no reason you have to use mast prop. mast E is fine as long as you give it enough weeks to hit peak
