This is one of my comp cycles...
Just need to remember that dosages should always be tailored to individuals since everyone's response vary. However here's what I've done in the past to provide you with an idea. Just note that I've used dbol and anadrol in other competition cycles, but not in this one. You can always mix it up with different compounds as you know your body best.
Weeks 16 – 13
- Test E or C
- Tren E
- Anadrol (4 weeks)
- HGH
Weeks 13 – 9
- Test E or C
- Tren E
- HGH
- ECA Stack/Clen – (2 weeks on/2 weeks off) rotation
From weeks 9 to 4, if your body fat is around 8%, you can consider adding Mast or EQ to your regimen. Personally, I would recommend Mast as it doesn't build muscle mass very well, but it will help to harden your muscles like no other compound. Mast also helps to thin the skin and define your muscles, which is great for aesthetics. However, if you are not in the single-digit body fat range, this is not recommended for you. Another great option at this point would be Primo, which can help you continue building muscle mass even when you are running a caloric deficit.
- Test E or C
- Tren E
- HGH
- Mast/EQ/Primo (only looking to add one of these) still using longer esters at this point.
- ECA Stack/Clen – (2 weeks on/2 weeks off) rotation
6 weeks out add Winstrol
4 weeks out - time to change it up and start running shorter esters
- Test P
- Tren A
- Mast P
- HGH
- ECA Stack/Clen – (2 weeks on/2 weeks off) rotation
- T3
In my opinion, the last 10 days of your preparation are the most important. At this point, you should stop taking injections and clen. You should also start reducing your calorie intake by about 10 calories per 1/2 a kilo of body weight per day. There is no point in reducing your calorie intake further as you will not lose any more fat at this stage. In fact, you may start burning muscle for energy. Therefore, the majority of your calories should come from food protein sources, not shakes. You should aim for 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight, which will make up about two-thirds of your daily calorie intake. Stick to the same protein sources you have been using throughout your preparation and do not try to make any changes at this stage. Start reducing your carbohydrate intake and eliminate them completely by day 4 or 5 as they can cause fluid retention. Cut down on your fat intake as well.
If you have proper guidance or experience, you can use diuretics around 3 days before your competition.
Days 10 – 3 - Salt your food, and even consider a little salt in your water. This will promote the body to excrete salt and water follows salt. After day 3 drop the salt altogether. This means absolutely no shakes, liquid egg whites etc.
Don’t change up your workouts but now is not the time to try and hit any PR’s either. The last thing you want now is an injury.
About 10 days before the competition, increase your fluid intake by 2L more than your usual intake. Always measure your water instead of guessing. On the fourth day, reduce your water intake to a quart or about 1L, which is half of what you were drinking before. By the second day, you should only swish and spit to reduce your fluids until after the competition. It's worth noting that rehydrating immediately after weighing in can result in a loss of muscle definition.
Make sure to get plenty of rest this is crucial at anytime but being at a major caloric deficit and dehydrating will take its toll. Even some granny naps where you can, will be beneficial!
