Hey, currently planning out my precontest cycle for this spring/summer season. Definitely could use the minds of some of our experienced guys here.

STATS: 240 lbs, 12-15% BF, 5 full cycles under belt, starting with test and adding a few compounds in over time.

CYCLE: Starting 16 weeks out

16-8
Test E 500/week
EQ 600/week

8-1
Test P 300/week
EQ 600/week
Tren 300/week
Mast 300/week

Aromasin on hand
Caber on hand

As you see doses are nothing crazy, especialy because there won't be any GH in the cycle. I've got a pretty solid base and have never really required crazy amounts to hold onto what I have.

A few questions though:

Could/should the tren be started earlier, 12 weeks out perhaps? I've never run tren higher then 300 mg for 8 weeks, so I didn't put in anything I actually haven't experienced first hand.

Tren dose- If I can handle it, should I up it?

Low dose deca- I've heard some local guys do it to help out with dry joints during prep. Worth throwing in from 16-8 perhaps at around 250/week?

Goal is to come in as a heavy weight and do some damage at a national show.

Thanks
