This will be my 3rd cycle. I will be running this cycle next spring in preparation for my first NPC bodybuilding competion. I have a couple of ideas for a cycle to run, so this is my first idea so far.

1st cycle: 12wk 500mg test e
2nd: 400mg test C; 500mg 1-test, proviron for last month
I am currently taking 5iu HGH. I have been taking it for the last 4 months and plan to continue taking it.

These are my current stats which should be similar when I start this cycle this winter. I am on cycle now but my BF should be around the same (probably even lower since I'll have some time to slowly drop it) at that time but my weight might be a little less depending on what I keep after my PCT

Age 42 (will be 43 for show)
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 179
BF: 13%

I would like to use the first part of this cycle to put on some lean mass and then finish of the cycle at around 5% BF.
I plan on taking the stage at the end of wk 16 of this cycle. Is 16 weeks to long for a cycle like this? I have dropped the test down to a maintenance dose for the last month of the cycle to help minimize any water retention from the test. When I do drop the test dosage, should I also be bumping up the Mast or 1-T cyp to make up for the less testosterone?

Would it be ok or necessary to run the mast e longer than 12 weeks? Should I bother with taking the mast P or would front-loading the mast e be a better option? What about the dose of mast e, first time using it so I'm hoping 400mg should produce some results?

I will be pre-loading liver support 2weeks before starting the var and take for an additional 2wks after I finish it. I have increased the var up to 100mg for the end of they cycle. I am hoping to get some appetite suppression from this dose since I will be dieting pretty hard for the show.

I plan on using arimidex as my AI. Mast and provi are in there also so I will see if I need any additional AI and dose the Adex accordingly.

Any feedback is appreciated.
