Should test prop be dropped before a show
ad
I am currently about 8 wks out from my first show. I am 5'10 197 right now, competing in men's physique. My current cycle is Test prop 100mg/EOD, Tren 100mg EOD. In 2 wks I will be adding oral winny @ 50mg ED and Masteron 100mg EOD. I do have a trainer and he suggested to not drop the test prop before show but to lower the dosage. What are opinions on this? I have done research and have read most people drop because of water retention but obviously I don't know. Is he right about lowering the dosage or wrong? Not sure what to think. Just thought I would get some opinions. Thanks

AnonPersonally i drop all oils a week out. When youre that lean the shot sites are noticeable. Guess in glute and quad wouldnt matter since you are physique...
What is noticeable? Is there redness, swelling?
AnonJust a small lump. If youve dieted right, youre just skin and muscle. If youre still fat keep pinning lol
Everyone has their own take. Test isn't the devil for show prep, estrogen is. Keep the test, control the estro; that way you have no bloat and keep the fullness to the muscle.
Check you AI usage, you may need to bump it up or maybe not but test should stay. Dropping it is an archaic practice. Also remember your division...physique will dock you for coming in as hard and dry as bodybuilding. Don't overthink it, but rest assured; running test up to the comp will not ruin a competition worthy physique.
Thanks, I am taking aromasin right now, so I'll just make sure to take it up to show
Damn bro why are you on short esters so far out? the best thing is to run your longer esters for less pinning till 4 weeks out. I usually begin winny at 4 weeks out as well and would run proviron up till that. I always drop prop on Sunday and run tren till the show since it helps filling out much easier
I'm running something similar (just no tren)
Test p and mast p 100 each EOD
Adding winny 50mg maybe up to 75mg 6 weeks out
My plan is the last 10 days to drop test p to 50mg EOD but keep mast the same and increase oral winny to 100mg ED.
May increase Arimidex to ED the last 2 weeks. Some have suggested to add letro the last 2 weeks but I'm not sure yet!
Good luck bro!
That is something you are going to have to find out for yourself. Some people drop it because they are paranoid it will make them retain some water. For some people that is true for others it is not. The other train of thought is to run a low dose of test right up till showtime to help keep the muscles full. This first show is a learning experience so if you drop the test out and don't seem to be as full as when you were taking it try keeping a low dose in next time. If you come in retaining a little water with a low dose drop it next time. With proper AI control and mast in the mix you should be plenty dry even with a little dose of test up till show. I am going to be keeping some low dose test in my cycle for my upcoming show to help keep the muscles full but I will also be crashing my estro to make sure I am as dry as a bone.
