Planning my post show/off season
ad
I’m about to step on stage but I want to plan for what’s to come already to go forward with a game plan and not just wing it.
My question is that after this show I want to run:
Test E
EQ
Anadrol
Should I do a regular pct? Or should I just “cruise” for a little? I was never for that but I’m giving myself until I’m 30 to give this sport my all. So wondering what would be best

Reverse dieting after a show is also crutial. If your coach knows what hes doing then they should be laying out a post show diet to take advantage of the gains available AFTER the show. If your not careful you will just end up fat and watery.
Personally I beleive time on should equal time off. If your earning a liveing from it that would be the only thing to justify not doing that. Just my opinion.
+1 brother. I agree completely.
If you're a body builder, it's supposed to be FUN. Sure, it's a shit ton of work that puts you into physical pain, then the dieting is mentally taxing you to the limit of what you can physically do, but overall, the whole lifestyle and process is SUPPOSED TO BE FUN.
If you cycle and take the appropriate amount of time off, then you'll be infinitely healthier for far longer than you would be if you just "stayed on all of the time" or if you don't take long enough to recover. If you burn yourself out too early in life, then you lose all of the fun of event day, of being a part of that culture, etc.
Young men don't understand, YOU WILL WAKE UP ONE DAY AND YOU'LL BE 40 YEARS OLD. Then you'll be 50. Then you'll be 60. Sure, this assumes a lot of things, but my point is, we don't stay 25 forever. When you're 40, you'll thank your 25 year old self for listening to the vets and making smart decisions with your body.
This is how I do it anyway. My estro is crashed from show, so to get that back in line and to help feel normal again I run test P 100mg EOD for 6 weeks. You are going to gain more muscle in your post show rebound than you will any other time of the year so take advantage of it and stay in an anabolic state during that period with some prop to pack on the mass. PCT right after a show is a gains killer. I am TRT so staying on cycle after the show isn't an issue for my HPTA, but it is something you may want to think about because it makes for a long cycle and more difficult recovery. The gains will be insane though and nothing more needed than a simple prop run and the right amount of food. Stay away from running a long cycle with EQ right away and give you liver a break from the orals too. Mine gets taxed pretty good during prep.
Good luck with the show.
What do you do after a test prop cycle? Do you just start your following cycle?
Always appreciate your input bro, thank you
Just my TRT of 125mgwk of test und. I am actually pinning my TRT dose of test along with the prop so that when the prop is done my levels stabilize out at my trt level right away.
If your HPTA is still good, I would get on a PCT along with some GH and possible IGF-lr3 to help keep gains and minimize fat and hopefully even makes some more gains. Just maintaining is the main thing here though until you can get everything reset.
