After 4 weeks off, the holidays and a terrible 2 week cold I managed to lose 7lbs of LBM but maintained my pounds of bodyfat.

That leaves me now at a pathetic 5'6 195lbs @ 13.98% bodyfat.

The goal is to lose 2% bodyfat and gain a couple of those lbs of LBM back!

It's probably more realistic to hope to keep my weight about the same and lose fat.

Day 1 1000mg Enanthate
Day 5 500mg Enanthate

Day 1-14 35mg Dbol/day and 25mg Clomid/day and ECA stack (12.5mg/100mg 6 times a day)

T3 is pretty simple.

Day 1-3 25mcg/day
Day 4-11 50mcg/day
Day 12-14 25mcg/day

Day 15 Clomid @ 300mg/day

Day 16-28 Clomid @ 50mg/day

I am taking 4 weeks off and then most likely (if I can get my bodyfat to 10% by then).
I will be doing a contest prep cycle for 9 weeks and going for 3% bodyfat. I have dropped 8% bodyfat in 10 weeks before
with much less drugs so this shouldn't be a problem at all.

I will be using a targeted keto diet consisting of about 3000 cals.

Goal 225g protein 0g carbs 233g fats

I am gettig about 40g of carbs from whey protein shakes. The kind I have sucks for keto diets
The only time I have carbs besides the 40g/day is after training. I take in about 50-60g Dextrose.

Training is 4 times a week and short and intense a la Dorian Yates. In fact I am now using his exact split.

Any sugestions? Comments?

Are you sure you posted that in the correct thread ultragainz

I'm about 210 right now with about 9-10 % BF.
I'm taller though so it's streched out.

Too bad you got sick. That is my major concern when preparing in the winter is that you have to be careful of viruses.

I just finished a short cycle (my last mass cycle) and now I'm going to start slowly eating better and leaning down. The only thing that I plan to do for the shot is Winstrol , Clen and ECA.

If I can get to 10% bodyfat in the next 6 weeks. I will compete.

On a positive side. I just bought a 500$ recumbent bike so I now can do cardio anytime in my apartment instead of waking up at 5am and walking 15-20min to get to the gym.

On the negative side. I have a limited budget so I will get winny, test, eca and T3. I would have liked to include some fina and eq but oh well!

No offense taken, I post for constructive critisism. So I can make it better.

Which one is not a good cutting cycle my two week stunt or the winny, test, eca and T3 stack for 9 weeks?

On the longer cutting cycle, if you going to use test, use Propinate. 300mgs Every third Day should do a body good, up untill 10 days out from the show, then drop it.

I hear you bro!

But I feel there are no bulking or cutting AAS. The all serve the same purpose. Some make you hold less water but that is it.

I am not bloated at all. The combo of Keto diet, Clomid, T3 and ECA is taking care of that.

Water retention is the least of my problems right now. I am 14% bodyfat

When you are under 8% water retention can blunt definition but right now even if I was on lasix and super dry I still wouldn't see my abs

This is the first time that I am trying the enanthate split in two shots. I took that advice from you!

Day 5 is today so I will let you know later on if I prefer the enanthate in one or two shots.

Why the prop? To better control the test in your system?

You say cut it out 10 days in advance. You are concerned with water retention right. Wouldn't a diuretic take care of this?

I could also just use enanthate and take it out 2 weeks before couldn't I?

I have had good results with short cycles.
They suit me very well because on convnetional cycles I always make most my gains on the first 3-4 weeks. With conventional cycles I make very good gains but I lose alot of those gains too.

I will keep everyone post on my results!

I am on a Targeted Keto Diet as opposed to a traditional Cyclycal Keto Diet.

On a TKD there is no carb up. You take carbs around training. I take them only after training. I wont do a carb up at all.

It kicks me out of ketosis for a couple hours but I am not doing a carb up so that is fine.

I have done this before with good results.

As long as you want or need to diet. On gear you can aim to lose 0.75-1.0% bodyfat per week. Off gear aim for a max of 0.5% bodyfat loss. Do it for as many weeks as you need to reach desired leaness.

"Do you retain strength?"

I have only done a keto while on gear. I usually lose strenght and feel weak for 3-4 days and then I am fine. Strenght then starts going up

"Do muscles go flat?"

They are of course flatter than usual. But this time around using dbol I think I will stay much fuller. I am only on day 5 though.

"Energy?"

Is good. No ups and downs like when you eat a big carb meal. Blood sugar is stable so you have lots of energy. The carbs right after training with creatine make sure to keep muscle glycogen high.

Basicly the goal is to of course, eliminate the most bodyfat from yourself, as well as water found under the skin, but NOT in the muscle cell! This is very important to try to regulate. Some people do this with carb depleteing and loading. Others simply do not use diuretics to try to keep intermuscular water, but often don't get the skin thin enough to beat the competition.

I can get the enanthate very cheap and I am on a budget so I will have to go with that.

I will be using it until 1-2 weeks before the show.

I will use 20mg of Nolva and 50mg of Clomid a day for the last 2 weeks to help with aromatization. I don't hold much water so I should be ok!

I was thinking of using a potassium sparing diuretic to keep the muscles full instead of using lasix.

How would you suggest using aldactone for a middleweight?
