Pre contest cycle

Hey gents

I'm thinking of doing my first cutting cycle. I've only done one cycle which was a bulking one in December - Test E 500 mg 10 weeks and 50mg dbol 6 weeks. I would like my cycle to be 'mild' but effective. About 8 weeks. I would've liked to prep for 12 weeks but due to personal matters, I'll have to start 10 weeks out with diet, then start my cycle 8 weeks out

My cycle(pensive):

Week 1-8: Test E 500mg

Week 4-10: Winni 40mg

Week 6-10: Yohimbine day 1-10 10mg then 20mg to end

Week 6-10: Clen - Day 1-4: 40mcg ED
Day 5-8: 60mcg ED
Day 9-12: 80mcg ED
Day 13-16: 100mcg ED
Day 17-40: 120mcg ED (From Pyro's thread)

Any alterations and critics welcome

You only have 8 weeks, so why test E ?

Test prop, Oupa? And what do you think about the rest of the cycle?

Yes, you will need a fast acting short ester test. Whats your current physical condition ?

If you are keeping your cycle this basic then get an AI to start taking a few days away from show day to help you drop water. Subcutaneous water and fat look the same on stage.

@Oupa - I'm about 82 kgs with 12@ bf. Ectomorph

@MA - I was thinking of using test for only 6 weeks and dropping it 2 weeks out for minimal water retention. I was also thinking of adding proviron(?)
My primary objective is to come in ripped to shredz... Justin Thacker-like (And yes, I know he is natty)

as for a pre contest cycle i would suggest you do not use long ester testosterone.

8 week cycle
100-150mg Test Prop 3x a week or every other day.(stopping 1 week out)
50mg anavar daily(run to show day)
1/2mg arimadex eod(run to show day)

this is the best on a budget contest cycle you can use.

anavar is a better option over winstrol as it wont put strain on the joints whilst maintaining heavy training, and it will also be better for fat burning than winstrol. if you are hell bent on using winstrol use it for the last 3 weeks at 50mg daily. i know it seems like a short time BUT the whole idea is to help harden you up and dry you out whilst preserving your joints as the last week there is no major training and only after 3 weeks or so of winstrol use do your joint take a knocking. use this in conjunction with the anavar.

clenbuterol i would run at 40mcg for 4 day,80mcg for 4 days,120mcg till 1 week out,then drop it down to 80mcg for the last week before the show. use betasleep from the start of the cycle of clen. start this from the day you start dieting.

i would also stress adding in 10mg yohimbine HCL 2x Daily before am cardio and before training about 30mins-45mins post carbohydrate intake. start this from the day you start dieting.

8 weeks is a very short prep time with limited chemicals,so u need all the help you can get

as for the justin thacker comment, that guy dieted from march to November to get into that contion, close on 40 weeks, please dont think u will get there in 8 weeks,but u can try if you have a boat load of money to spend.

good luck and let us know how it goes

@Jury... My prep will be at 12 weeks out, the CYCLE will be at 8 weeks out... I would like to look that shredded by SAs(which are in about 16weeks+ time)
The 8 week cycle is pre provincials, then pre SAs I/we can make alterations. (Bear in mind, I am u21 gents)

Have you competed before.?

Yes PP, but juice free

Proviron should be part of your prep from day 1

With your great genetics I would keep it natural for a few more years dude.

Haha, what great genetics, bro?

Well you an 82kg ectomorph who clearly knows how to hit the weights dude.
I reckon don't fix what is not broken bro.

Yeah bro, thanks alot man. Been training for 7 years now. I just don't wanna come in looking too small. I don't want to be the biggest guy in my division, don't wanna be the smallest one either... But I want to be the most conditioned one.

Whatever you choose, I wish you all the best dude.
Keep us updated.
