if you are wanting to use steroids which from your winny statement you are i would use 250mg once a week from 12 weeks out until 4 weeks out then uses winny and masteron up to the show

Thanks Paul, I am still undecided about using or not really. I do wonder if it would be a waste of a first test cycle to use it cutting. However if there is a chance I will still grow a little then maybe i should.

I suppose the end decision can only sit with me and I will think about it very carefully.

Thanks for the diet tips also i will follow that plan

Better get to sleep now ready for some cardio in the morning

Just saying take it very serious and personally i will always leave at least 16 weeks to diet down.

yeah I am going to hit it hard now been at it 3 weeks almost already and have shed a fair bit of fat but as stated it's going to be the stubborn fat that will take the time and toll

thanks for the advice Con

hello m8

nice one for deciding to compete

if your undecided about using gear why dont you do your first comp as a natural . just experience the diet training and the whole competition prep see what kind of shape you can get in . you will be in a great position then to maybe do a course after your show and gain some quality tissue .

just a thought m8

I have considered just running natural throughout prep and may stick to that. I will see how much muscle I start losing. I think that will be the determining factor (or how small I feel)

I am quite pleased with progress at present and on second low day on carb cycling. Medium day tomorrow (cant wait).

Had to set off for work this morning at 4.30am so no morning cardio but will hammer it tonight.

I will update in detail on my show prep log(link is in my signature)

Cheers

I have been following my diet for the last few as shown:

Low Day = 300p 100c 60f
Med Day = 300p 175c 60f
High Day = 200p 600c 50f

Re-feed on saturday. My questions is are my medium days high enough?

I also have my cheat on refeed day and have assumed that's where i should have it? Any other day and it would put my macros over. Or would this help if i had it mid week to rev the metabolism back up? maybe on tuesday after 2 low days?

Weight seems to have stopped dropping now for last 6 days or so and being unassisted at present wouldn't have expected that.

I have been very strict with diet and kept macros spot on and have kept up the morning and evening cardio. I do seem to still be leaning out though should maybe stay well clear of the scales for few weeks.

Any advice greatly appreciated as I want to get ahead of the game as much as possible leaving me time at the end of prep if I need it.

i would keep it all clean through the week and when it is your cheat/high day this is when you will have your cheat meal.

the other question regarding is your medium day high enough everyone is different mate and its how you handle those carbs my medium day is 250g
and my low is 150g but that is me and everyone reacts differently if your weight has started to drop you either are going to have to do more cardio
or drop the carbs again slightly but i would try not to worry about weight to much if you are looking leaner thats what counts
what i do sometimes is before my refeed day on sat
i drop my carbs to 50/100g to trick the body then carb up on sat then on sun i will drop them to 50/100g again just try to keep your body guessing

hope this helps im sure you will have some more input on the question you asked from other memebers too

Cheers Mate, I guess I will have to keep an eye on things over next week and if progress slows then drop the carbs some more. Things may have slowed where my receptors are less reactive to eca now also. The 10 day break from the ECA should sort that out though.

When cycle starts I can add T3 into the mix also but obviously not before due to catabolism.

I may have answered my own questions there. Perhaps ECA was doing most of the work and i need to drop carbs anyway. That would put me down below 2000Kcals on a low day though. I could make up with fats but isnt a calorie a calorie?

Cheers
