16 Week Pre-contest Cycle

Morning everyone,

So I've decided, with the extra time that I have while I'm studying and with my competitive nature, to enter my first bodybuilding competition.

I'm planning on competing in the Classic Bodybuilding division so for my height I have a maximum weight limit of 85kg on stage.

Stats at the moment:
23 y/o
88.4kg @ ~10% bf
1.79m

Proposed Cycle:
Weeks 1 to 8:
500mg Test Cyp p/w split into two injections
0.25mg Letro ED
Possible Tbol kickstart 60mg ED for the first 6 weeks
Weeks 9 to 16:
100mg Test Prop EOD
80mg Tren Ace EOD
1mg Caber p/w

PCT 3 to start 2 weeks after last shot

I'm planning on starting the cycle at the beginning of March.

I've already started the dieting process with calories at 2400cal per day split into
210g Protein, 240g Carbs and 67g Fat.
So far my weight is slowly dropping every week and I'm making small adjustments to my daily calories every week if my weight-loss stalls.

Haven't started with any cardio as yet, choosing to rely on lowering calories for now to manipulate fat loss however when the calories get lower I will add in cardio so that I can spare some food for sanity sake.

I'm also considering adding in winstrol as a bridge to give a hard look going into the comp.

Goal is to lose fat while maintaining as much muscle as possible. Haven't got the money for a contest prep coach as of yet but considering hiring one towards the end of my cycle to help me peak properly for my show.

Any criticism or ideas are more than welcome.

How many cycles have you done before this ?

Only one so far. Was a test prop cycle with a winstrol bridge, very basic.

Hi latifier.

I've help a few guys with contest prep. and this is a example 16 week cycle that I give to guys that can afford abit more.

Week 1-8
500mg Test Cyp
600mg Equipose
50mg Tbol ED for 5 weeks

Week 9 to 12
100mg Test prop EOD
100mg Tren Ace EOD
100mg Masteron EOD

Week 12 to 16
100mg Test prop EOD
100mg Tren Ace EOD
100mg Masteron EOD
30mg Winstrol ED
50mg Proviron ED
1mg Caber pw

Pre contest cycle depend on a lot of diferent factors but hope this helps abit.

Why would the EQ be run for 8 weeks, I personally don't feel EQ working for at least 6 weeks, then you just about to stop it.

Xtreme, no doubt the cycle you laid out is probably more suited and better laid out with the extra compounds, but this is only my second cycle and I'm already throwing in the Tren which I'm sure many guys on this forum will say is too soon. I'm not keen to throw too many compounds into the mix especially ones I haven't tried.
While I'm definitely going out to win, I'm not going to resort to all out chemical warfare just yet haha.

I'm currently scraping together funds for the final month before the show to hire a decent prep coach, does anyone know anyone that is reasonably priced with a solid track record?

I really don't think you should use tren as your second cycle.

Week 1-10 test E 600mg
Week 1-12 equi 500mg
Week 1-4 tbol 40mg

Week 10-14 anavar 40-50mg
Week 10-16 test prop 375-400mg a week
Week 10-16 masteron prop 450mg
Week 10-16 proviron 40-50mg
Week 14-16 arimidex or letro

Side notes you can use a fat burner like clen from week 12-16 i wouldn't recommended T3 cause you can easily fuck up and get sick and spare way to much mass before the show.

**This is just a side note I would do
(Week 16 run Anap 5 days out from your comp that's what I did in the past and it worked well for me)

hey Lex, first off let me mention i am not half as experienced as most on this forum, so my question is out of pure curiosity.

the question, why would you only run the anavar weeks 10-14 as opposed to all the way through to week 16?
is anavar not safe to use for 6 weeks? also won't it be benefical since anavar is said to help lean out a bit more and get that dry look. just going by what i have read since i took interest... shouldn't the anavar, test prop and masteron prop along with proviron do well to give you that dry look?

Good point

If he wants to compete, he will need T3. This is not really a pre contest cycle anyway, but can work okish if your 100% dialed in.

Latifer understand your point 100% as the tren is already a strong compound. All depends on Genetics. You get guys that prep on Prop , wini , clen and look amazing on stage. But good luck with the prep.All of the best

No no sorry I do apologize it was a typing error it was meant to be 16* not 14* anavar is a very safe steroid and can be used for more than 6 weeks even
