First show using gear
ad
Hey guys,
I have most of my gear ordered for my next cycle leading up to my 3rd show. As the title says this is my first show using gear so I ordered like an idiot without thinking about implementing a cutting cycle. My next cycle is under my cycle logs its 20 weeks EQ, 20 weeks Mast E, and 22 weeks Test E, take off 2 weeks and start PCT for 4 weeks. As it stands now I will be off cycle for 1 week during the show.
Here are my questions:
1) Is it bad to introduce compounds mid cycle such as winny, primo or anavar to try and cut?
2) Should you be on cycle for a show or off cycle?
Any other general advice on this is appreciated.

WithdrawlYes, it's ok to add in another compound to help cut. On long cycles I'll often go through a bulking phase then add in an oral like anavar and finish with a cutting phase to lose any fat I gained. For your show, you don't want compounds in you that cause water retention. A lot of guys also take letro or another strong AI to bring their estrogen down to nothing to help shed water weight and get a drier look. A lot competitors I know drop test out 2 or 3 weeks before contest and use short ester versions of tren, masteron, and some throw in anavar for added hardness. I think you'll be good being off cycle for only a week. You shouldn't lose much of anything other than maybe some fullness and vascularity. But the main thing you want to keep down is water retention and being off cycle with a good AI should be good for you. It's crazy though how so many guys do it so differently. This is one of those things where you'll find out what's best for you through trial and error and more show experience.
also how long do you think a PCT should be for a cycle longer than 12 weeks? For this 20-22 week cycle i was gonna run like a 12 week long PCT and I'm seriously starting to consider using HCG in fear of my balls permanently shutting down. Thats my biggest fear with using gear, TRT/HRT lol
Great info! I guess its just like everything else with gear just gotta see how your own body reacts. Do you think 50 mg of var ED or EOD will do the job and will I need a liver shield or something. My girl used var at only 10mg/day of var and is now at 20 mg/day but its such a low dose that she doesn't need an organ protectant. Maybe introduce the var 5 weeks out of the show?
