Cycle and Pre-Contest advice

[rakkin]

So guys I have decided to enter my (FIRST EVER any type of competition) NPC physique competition on August 1st. This was kind of something I have been thinking about for maybe six weeks now. There are a couple IBBF/NPC pros and guys trying to get their pro cards at my gym and they have been telling me that I have good chance right now to walk on stage and do very well in the physique category. I picked the August 1st show because it gives me some time to learn how to pose and refine my physique. Plus it will be really close to my hometown and my family can come and watch. I will be entering the following classes

-Men's Physique Open Class B

-Heroes Men’s Physique: One Class – First Responder (Military, Police, Fire, EMT, Medical Professionals)

-Master’s Men’s Physique: 35+ 40+ 50+ 60 (I am 50)

Any tips for a first timer or lessons learned would be appreciated. The guys at my gym said they would help me with posing already .

In regards to the current cycle I am running it is below. I just started week two of this 12 week cycle which ends in the middle of June approximately six weeks prior to my show.

Weeks 1-2 700mg Test E/400mg Primo/60mg Proviron
Weeks 3-10 700mg Test E/500mg Primo/60mg proviron
Weeks 11-12 700mg Test E/600mg Primo/60mg Proviron

My question is with this cycle ending six weeks before my show what would you guys do (I know bloodwork needs to be good and I do bloodwork every four to six weeks while on cycle). Should I just cruise after these 12 weeks for the six weeks before the show, extend this exact cycle to an 18 week cycle or something else? I was thinking of running the following cycle for the six weeks Pre-Contest. This would be my first time running tren so I am keeping the dose low but I am open to changing doses up or down of all components some or move things around and drop the Mast and replace it with Anavar/TBOL etc if you guys think so. Again I know it's all bloodwork dependent.

Option A
Extend Current cycle by six weeks

Option B
500mg Test E EW
150mg Mast E EW
150mg Tren E EW
60mg Proviron ED


Option C
500mg Test E EW
300mg Mast E
60mg of either Tbol/Anavar ED (I have ran TBOL in the past at 50mg and really enjoyed it)
60mg Proviron ED

Let me know what you guys think. Thank you for any advice and comments.

Thank you sir for the encouragement it is greatly appreciated

Start: well done for stepping up. You'll see just how great you'll ever look

But...

I still don't get the entering of several classes and I say that as someone who is sponsoring class 1 in a BB event in September

You certainly aren't going to go wrong with Masteron and Tren. Those are good options. You might want to lower the testosterone though; you don't want to get too fluffy. @rakkin

Well this is my thought process was the master class due to my age and the heroes class because of my background. I am a retired Green Beret and that is still important to me to represent my community. And the men's physique open Class class honestly just because it was there and I met the criteria. In the reading I did it seemed like this was a common occurrence but maybe I read wrong. They also are running these two classes.

-True Novice Men’s Physique: A-B
-Novice Men’s Physique: A-B

Would it maybe be better to enter these two and the Heroes? The heroes is kind of a personal one that I really want to do if that makes sense. I have a buddy that competes and says there aren't a lot of entrants into this one so personally I would like to face more competition especially since I will be traveling for the weekend to do the show.

That was kind of my thought process and I am 100% open to suggestions. The masters physique and Heroes are really the two I wanted to do but thought the novice would be good also. Like I said I am 100% open to your suggestions. And could you explain why it's not a good idea to enter multiple classes for my knowledge moving forward. This is the information I came here for and knew I would get from all you guys. Thanks in advance for the insight brother.

Funny you mention that, I was at the gym last night lifting and thought this same thing. Maybe dropping it to 250-300mg PW. Do you think those numbers work better? Thank you sir.

Sorry caveat, I also thought that of I could afford it gaining experience and getting a better feeling of where I belong whether that be open, masters etc so I could concentrate on one thing moving forward. The novice would only be for a a few shows (hopefully) lol. Just the way I was thinking..

I think working with a coach who can give you advice on this would go a long way. Obviously, cruising is probably going to be your best bet. You want to treat it like chemical warfare going into a contest.

Really looking good on these options. I like the masterin and tren; those are good together with the Proviron. I would go with that option. @rakkin

That's the way I was leaning also add a little bulk with the tren and harden up and dry out with the mast. I may increase the doses slightly with the mast and Tren but no more than 250 each and not until week three after I see how I feel. I am more interested in keeping the "physique" look and not getting into the Men's Bodybuilding aspect.
