Thread: Pre-Contest Cycling (last week before show)

Brothers, I have a question for the seasoned competitors? I'm going to spend my time today setting up a 27 week cycle plan for a show I'm strongly considering entering July 14 of this year. Going to be dividing it into a 12 week pre-pre-contest cycle (for lack of a better description), and a 15 week pre-contest cycle. I'll be the first to own that it's been a while since I last competed so I'm just wondering how current competitors manage the last week prior to a show? What I'm specifically asking, is what day of the last week would you stop using injectables? Would you stop a couple days out (I'll be running short esters), the day prior, or do a last injection the morning of the show? Same question for orals, specifically Superdrol and Halo. I appreciate any answers. I want to get everything planned out on paper which will help with motivation as I'll have a concrete plan leading up to the show. Thanks Brothers

So me personally I don’t really change much the last week of the show supp wise. I’ll keep Mast & tren in for sure; usually get a pin in the morning before spray tan, then I’ll pin after the night show and throw test back in if I decide to cut it. If I’m feeling froggy I’ll drop test prop Tuesday or Wednesday of show week and I usually cut gh out around Wednesday for sure. As I stated before I will pin what I cut out after the night show, so if I cut test and gh out, I have those with me and will pin them after I get showered from finals. And I’ll have a extra gh pin to hit on Sunday morning just to get back into routine. For orals I run them all the way up to the show and try to time it so I can run them a week after the show to help utilize the post show rebound and make some great gains. Halo is g2g as I’ve used that several times and never had a issue, for me its mental so I want to take my orals the morning of just to stay in the routine if that makes sense. Never used superdrol but I imagine if you’re conditioning is on point then it will help fill you out. Probably compared to guys who get stage ready 2-3 weeks before the show then can run adrol 3-4 days before and fill out like crazy while still looking hard as granite. Hope that helps Weapon. If there’s anything else I can help you with or clarify let me know

No problem Weapon, glad I could be of help. I get the same way when it comes to prep. It’s very easy to over complicate things and try to do too much. Hence why I have a second eye to hear out my thoughts/approach and clarify if it’s sound thinking or over complicating things. If you need help with anything feel free to PM me

I usually stop a few days before, I try to stick all my gear into my late and my ass that week , nothing worse then looking lumpy or a bad pin somewhere

Good luck with prep, WX. Wish I could help more, but I have never competed in BB'ing. You're in good hands with Prime, our resident Neo-Zane.
