Title: Preparation to bodybuilding championship
Post by: Frank.T on September 17, 2007, 10:31:02 AM
Hello guys,

My name is Frank and I have started this thread for the following reason.
I want to compete next year for the first time as a truly bodybuilder.I don’t want to be just one more for the statistics or make a fool out of myself on stage as I have seen others do so many times.
I am 26 years old and I have been lifting weights since I was 21.
When I started my weight was 59-60kg and now I am currently 110kg.

I have tried for some years to compete but unfortunately for some personal reasons I haven’t been able to do it until now.
I believe that in this 5 years of training cycling and everything else I have acquire a certain experience but I also believe that is not enough experience to prepare myself to compete as the absolutely best and win the contest which is what I am going for.

So I have open this thread so that people can come here and if possible share some ideas experiences and thoughts about cycles,training,food supplements…everything.

About the steroids part I can say I am open to almost everything but insulin, because I have done it once, didn’t liked the results and in my point of view you really don’t need to take it. I have made some experiences and I can put it to work eating high GI carbs as fast as shooting 10 IU insulin.2 things that I really want to try is GH and IGF1 because I have never tried before.

About the cost don’t mind with that just Wright what you think is the best.
I really appreciate if you guys could take the time and give some attention to this thread.

Just to end it I must say that my last cycle was 1 month ago I did trenbolone acetate,wsintrol and propionate 1ml every second day for 8 weeks.

About training method I was using a very famous method of Milos which is high intensively training.1 muscle a day 12 exercises splited in 3 groups of  4 exercises non stop and 4 sets normally 15 to 12 reps.
It’s a little complicated to explain but for those who are familiar with this training method, you know what I am talking about.
As I said currently I am 1.89cm 110kg with low fat and low water retention I can later post some pictures if needed. I intend to compete with at least 105-110kg.

I will be entering on off-season now and I want to start bulking on October. The competition will be near by April May ext year.

I really hope that I can get some help on this and if there´s any other info needed just lmk.

This is more or less what I have thought for start:


1 week:
1ml propionate every second day
250mg sustanon
50mg methandione a day.
250mg deca


2 week:
1ml propionate every second day
250mg sustanon
50mg methandione a day.
500mg deca

3 week:
500mg sustanon
50mg methandione a day.
750mg deca


4 week:
750mg sustanon
50mg methandione a day.
1000mg deca


5 week
1000mg sustanon
750mg deca


6 week:
1000mg sustanon
500mg deca


7 week:
750mg sustanon
500mg boldenone


8 week:
750mg sustanon
750mg boldenone

9 week:
500mg sustanon
50mg oxymetholone a day
750mg boldenone




10 week:
500mg sustanon
75-100mg oxymetholone a day
500mg boldenone


11 week:
250mg sustanon
75-100mg oxymetholone a day
500mg boldenone


12 week:
250mg sustanon
50mg oxymetholone a day
250mg boldenone

About the diet I don’t have a clue on what to do. I just intend to make 5-6 meals a day
Mostly read meet during the day and fish at night with salad rise boiled potato’s or noodles, minimum 3 protein shakes a day 2-3 carbohydrates shakes a day along with glutamine creatine BCAA and multivitamin.

Thanks,

Frank

What exactly are you wanting? Are you wanting help with your bulking period or are you trying to plan out a cycle and diet for your comp in the spring?

Hi bro,

I am looking for info to my comp next year but for now I think that I will need only the bulking info since it’s what I am on now.
I don’t know……….what do you think?
Because I don’t want to be here asking the same things over and over again because I know it takes a lot of patience and it will be good already to have people here helping me on this so I don’t want to push my luck:)

Wow, thats gona be a hellacious build up of SUS and Deca  :o
I dont even need to see it on a graph.

ALso, Lots of orals there w/ taht pyramid.

WHATS THE MOST YOU RUN BEFORE?
Thats a heavy-heavy load your contemplating. (I'd Stock up on Ai's and BP meds)

Most guys can get their max bloat/ bulk and aggression for throwing plate on w/ a lot less GRAMS of AAS.
Not ripping on you, I'm no stranger to fill they hypo theory, but thats lookin excessive to me.
No point dumping race gas on the ground when we fill up the  'Vette.
It wont make it go faster.

Post by: Frank.T on September 17, 2007, 02:00:06 PM
As you can read on my post that was what I was thinking to do I posted to get ideas and thoughts about it and I appreciate that you took the time to give yours.

About the max I have used I can tell you that I have tried 3000mg testosterone once and it was a waist of testosterone and probably my health too but I was being prepared by a guy you claimed to be the guru about AS.
Oxy metholone I have tried 100mg a day during 2 weeks that was the max methandionone 50mg for 4 weeks.

About the other AS I have never made more then 600-800mg week.
I have also tried insulin, started with 8iu a day spited in 2 and I went up to 16 a day spited in 2.GH I have tried 100iu of jintropin but I found later on that I was fake.

If you want to know what have I tried in these 5 years here you go:

Trenbolone Acetate max-1ml every second day
Nandrolone decanoate max-600-800mg
Boldenone undecylenate max-750mg
Cypionate max-1000mg
Enanthate max-3000mg once….normally not more then 1000mg
Propionate max 1ml every second day
Sustanon max-1250mg
Winstrol  max 1ml-every second day
Dianabol max-50mg a day
Oxymetholone max- 100mg day
Insulin max- 16 IU a day

And remember 1 thing when I say 800mg or 1000mg that’s when I am on the highest stage of the cycle and it’s normally for 2, maximum 3 weeks.

Maximum weight so far 116kg
Maximum off-cycle time 1 year minimum 2 months.

The only rec drug I have ever taken was diazepam and It was that time I tried the 3000mg testosterone I was not aggressive I just couldn’t sleep at night.

And for the record….Never in my entire period of AS user I have went crazy aggressive or got the so culled roids rage. So I wont be throwing anything any ware and to nobody;)

About the orals you can see that I have started with 50mg dianabol a day for the first 4 weeks which I think is normal then I give it a rest from 4-8 week and then from the 8-12 week I start again but this time with oxymetholone that’s why I have changed the deca for boldenone I will be getting bloated enough already with the sustanon and oxymetholone and that’s the other reason why I want to has GH and IGF-1 to it.
Sorry for my ignorance but what’s Ai's and BP meds?

Well about my idea of cycle I think that you do know that most part of the pros take way much more then that despite what many times they claim to take.

Thanks for sharing you point of view.

I think your wasting a lot of gear with a cycle like that. Why would you use pop with sust when sust has the prop esther already in the mix. Also no need to ramp up the doses like that. I would run it straight through from beginning to end, and unless you have run 50mg dbol in the past with no problems I would drop that down to 30-40mg ed. Im 215lbs and I run dbol at 30mg ed successfully, with zero sides and no bloat at all!
Title: Re: Preparation to bodybuilding championship
Post by: trab on September 17, 2007, 02:46:14 PM
That pyramid of long acting (slow released) Sus and Deca is going to be building up at the very same time your increasing the dose.
Its going sky high at the end!
I personaly prefer to throw the SUS in heavy up front if useing it.


I like this front end as a high androgen bulker:

Day1   3-4cc of sus in a hip. (We aint wasting no stinkin' injection site w/ baby shots)
Day3   2-3cc of sus + Fill to 4cc total w/ Deca in a hip.
                                                                 [After this shot of Deca, I use my max dose of it weekly].

Day6   I'd go into straighr TE at my max dose adding deca weekly where convienent to top off hypo, and
          put a top cc dose in each site, every shot.

Orals? 2-3 tabs maximum of ADrol a day for the 1st 2-4 weeks maximum will put on a load of red  cells.
Some winny with the Anapolon is a idea from RDW Im going to try sometime.

Thats the basic front end androgen load. That could run on and on and on with TE & Deca.
Jumping off a fast moving train is the trick.



I think it much less hard on the body to hit that front end androgen load, than build up the pyramid your
looking at. If you graphed the peak level of that SUS + Deca I think youd freak out.

If youve done it before and it worked, great. If not, I'd be cautious.

OXY and Dbol together? I know big guys taht do that. If you done it before, you know what to expect.
If not, I'd suggest somting less hard on the body. The OXYM at the start give benefit of a load of new red blood cells with a long life. They will last the whole cycle. The pumps will be severe.
Throwing in a few Dbol or Halo or Methyl pre workout here and there is one thing, using 50mg ed for weeks after the Oxy is another.

The OXY and Dbol are the main health issue, the pyramid is a side effect and mood problem invitation.
I think max bulk can be achieved w/ less stress than that pyramid will make.
Your past experience is the best guide.

Well, here's a good basic bulking cycle using some of the drugs you've mentioned, along with the doses you want to run as best I can tell.

wk 1-6 dbol 50mg/ed
wk 1-16 sust 1000mg/wk
wk 1-16 eq 600mg/wk
wk 17-20 prop 200mg/eod
wk 1-20 gh 4iu/ed
wk 21-23/24 PCT

You can sub in deca for the eq if you want. If you do, 400mg/wk would work fine.
As for an AI, 0.25-0.50/mg/eod of either arimidex or letrozol, if you choose to use it.

1-4IU of GH will result in what for bulking? to keep on muscle that's been gained throughout?

Bro the reason why I joined prop for the first 4 weeks its just to give that quick kick cause I have stopped training for a year started again on may but still not very often cause I am very busy at the moment but in October I will 100% free and dedicated to this. the reason why I don’t like to keep the same dosage for in the entire cycle is because its a little harder to keep the gains if you just drop it like that, or at least that how its works with me.

Thanks for sharing you experience bro really appreciate it.

It will be any different if I use dbol first and oxy after?cause that who it is on the cycle,

{I like AJ's 2x2cc sus shots ew}

The HGH is synergistic w/ all the androgen and EQ or Deca.
It kicks it ALL up a notch.
HGH without AAS is wonderfull  Post cycle for retention of gains also,
 but if Big is the target, adding GH to AAS works best.

That said, I'd skip the HGH first few cycles IMO.
AAS is so much more cost effective for guys that are just looking to put on some new solid beef.
esp first coupl times or so.


*** Oxy/ Dbol order of use - Id run the OXY first if using it, because of the life of the red cells.
Allthough, some competitors say they use OXY up to a show to stay "Full".
My personal experiences w/ Anapolon are - BIG, BLOATED, SMOOTH, STRONG, HIGH WORK CAPACITY,
FORGETFULL, and just not feel quite "Good".  ANything but ripped. But ripped is all about diet and
water managment policy in the end.

Thanks for your post bro I don’t know if you’re refereeing to me but I am cycling for 5 years now and I am looking for a comp bulk cycle.
Otherwise I agree with your concept of using HGH...

I will do the following when I find a good cycle. I will take measure of my entire body the weight, BF and also some picture then every 15 days or so I will post the changes.

1 thing I don’t want and that’s for sure is to turn into a fat pig off-season and have to lose weight like crazy maybe.....or probably starve to death to be in a good condition I am apologist of a semi-dry stage the whole year.

I would recommend a higher dose of letro than that.  at least 1mg ed with that much test.

Also since you stated how you are shooting for a win in this first show of yours and want to be your best.  I think you will need to stay on non stop to the show date, which I think you said is over a year away.  Cycling up and down will slow your progress.  Or at the least run a low dose (500mg EW) of test between your heavy bulk and heavy comp cycles.

I understand...you mean that if I want to cycle for a comp I don’t need to do a non stop cycle but to shoot a low dosage of for examples as you said 500mg test WE just to hold the gain.
The Nationals are in April so what would be you opinion on the cycle time?

Well you will be on a non stop cycle but the low dose period will give your body a bit of a break from the higher doses that you have mentioned.  Yes comming off entirely you lose most of your gains.

Cool links, I was in Lisbon in the late 1980s. Great city, BEAUTIFUL WOMEN  ;)!

Coming off is a loss of size no matter how you do it.
Tapering down the TE and then switching to Tprop and "anabolics" like Var,Winny,Primo is the best Ive found.
HGH is a wonderfull thing then also.
 Especialy post cycle. Keeps meat on the bones.

Also, the heavy hitters that dont hold any water like: tren,halo, can be of use.
But these two are very supressive of natural testo. Better in the front or middle of a cycle
if coming off completely is in the game plan.

Bro I need you to explain it better to me. Is that a 23 weeks non stop cycle? That’s almost half a year isn’t it?
No, it's actually only a 20wk plan...the PCT portion is not counted as wks on cycle. However, like L2H has already said, you're probably going to need to stay on until your show ends if you're going to do this right, especially if your show is in April or May, and you're wanting to run a good bulker before dieting begins. If that is the case, you might do things sort of like this.

*Run a cycle similar to the one I laid out but time it in line with your comp....that may mean you end up cutting it down to 16wks instead of 20wks, then again maybe not...depends on what you want to do.

*Once you complete the "Full" cycle, like L2H and Trab mentioned, staying on your test at a slightly lower dose would be wise...if you can keep the Gh in there as well that would be fantastic...of course then we're talking about more money, so your call.

*Once you get to the dieting down portion of your entire scheme, go back to running a more serious style cycle. Things like tren-a, winny, and fat burners would be a good addition towards the back end.

Yep that would be a very good way to do it.

OK. So I will stick with AJ´s cycle cause so far seems to be the best.
Now what about supplements? Normally I do like this:

When I wake up I take the creatine with 10g glutamine multivitamin and 125g carbohydrates 50g protein.

Before training I take the creatine again with 10g glutamine 125g carbohydrates 50mg protein and the BCAA.

After training 75g carbohydrates(VITARGO) 50g protein.

Before bead time 50g protein 10g glutamine.

IS this ok and there’s any other supplement needed?

OK. So I will stick with AJ´s cycle cause so far seems to be the best.
Now what about supplements? Normally I do like this:

When I wake up I take the creatine with 10g glutamine multivitamin and 125g carbohydrates 50g protein.

Before training I take the creatine again with 10g glutamine 125g carbohydrates 50mg protein and the BCAA.

After training 75g carbohydrates(VITARGO) 50g protein.

Before bead time 50g protein 10g glutamine.

IS this ok and there’s any other supplement needed?

Glutamine and BCAA's are not necessary and are really just a waste of money IMO. If your eating Correctly and supplementing with the right oils, then you don't need that stuff...it's just over kill.

I don't' have strong opinions on creatine, simply because I don't use it and I've never put that much time into looking into it. I've used it in the past and all it did was make my face really puffy. But I know a lot of guys who love it and either way, I don't' see how it could hurt you taking it.

You might look into the supplement Juice Plus+, good item, has the equivalent of 10-12 servings of fruits and veggies in it per day...replaces the need for a multi, and is far more beneficial IMO.

Last off, start taking omega-3 fish oil, 1000mg/ed 3x/ed and plan on taking Evening Primose Oil when you diet.

The only other things I can think of that you may or may not take, corral calcium is a good supplement, and sometimes having a good fiber supplement is a good idea as well.

Is really BCAA and glutamine a waist of money? I mean about BCAA I am not sure but you know that when your working out glutamine is what you most destroy in your body and the muscle is build by 70% glutamine or is not? I am not sure.
About the omega 3 that’s something that I will do for sure and some chromium picolinate.

Hit the additional options link lower left on post reply box  This will bring up an attatchments section  if you hit browse you can browse your computer to where you have your pics saved.

They can only be so big so you may have to resize the pics to post them.  If you use windows an easy app is in windows power toys called picture resizer, very easy to use app.

Take what you want from this, but according to Dave P. too much Glutamine can cause an insulin release and fat deposition.

Also, I don't' think muscles are made up of 70% Glutamine...I don't know the exact break down though. Even so, muscles are largely built by several various amino's, which you should be getting plenty of if your diet is right, of course water that makes up muscle tissue. The 2 most important nutrients cannot be neglected, Fats and Proteins...most guys get plenty of protein but they neglect their fat intake which is very important for muscle growth as well as muscle maintenance during a diet. Whatever you do, don't get caught up in thinking carbs are what build muscle, because this is just plain false...carbs are only an energy source...I know you didn't ask about carbs or what not, but just thought I'd throw that out there. They are needed for growth, so to spare fats while building muscle, but not as much as many like to eat.

Bro thanks for the carbs tip...I really appreciate everything that you share about this post cause that’s why I started I want to know as much as possible about diet cycle and training.
So you think that maybe what...I will need carbs only before training and maybe after training high GI carbs?

Thanks once again.

I can't answer that...you're getting into more stuff that would take both of us working together. Which by the way is something I'm getting into, corespondent diet and training help.

IN general, it' something you'd have to play with to find the exact way to go about it...like you laid it out might be fine, that's similar to what I do, but you may require a little more...like I said, I can't give a definite answer on a board like this.

Fresh pics from today...it’s been a year away from the gym but I was lucky to keep the structure and didn’t lost much.
I just have a small problem with the chest I don’t know why I can get it to grow like the other muscles any tips on that?

Good work Frank, you can improve for many years. Take it a little easy on the orals for the health.

Chest? How about some Dips (add weight if you can).  ANd some Heavy Decline bench?

From the side view, you got some pec thickness, and looks like inclines are working,
the lower line could get a little more thick or etched in.
Maybee VERY HEAVY tricep pressdowns, done very close to the body, contract pecs hard at bottom of rep.
Also some deep stretch Dumbell Pullovers also. Streches out the lats and pecs.

Pressing down toward your feet might make some thickness and a line on the lower pec area.
 I'd also keep doing what you've been doing. Its working.

Good advice from trab.

It looks like you've got a decent solid build...what about the legs? Got to have legs!

From the pics you have up, if I was going to critique one thing (which BTW I am ;)) I'd like to see you build up your traps...and in doing so, build up your lower traps...you know, better tie in with your upper back. Nothing on earth can do this like dead lifts. Personally, I've gotten to where I prefer rack deads over regular ones. Simply because it helps me minimize abdominal and/or oblique growth. Yeah, yeah, I know, some guys are going to say not doing them from the floor is cheating the full benefit, i.e. hamstrings...I just figure I'll worry about hams when I actually train hams...just my 2c.

Deads? Rack? Not doing them from the floor saves Mr Low Back!
I see no reason to do them from the floor unless yur a PLer, and some of them dont even go from floor
very often.

Deads WERE one of my better lifts, (before injury) but all I got besides lats and grip etc real was thick erectors about 2/3 's  up my spine.
The upper/ mid back I'v had to specialize to even coax the least bit of response up there.
High bench prone DB row work, or Hammer type Rows w/ the seat very low etc, is the only way I can get a feel up there.

Traps? DB shrugs heavy like Dorian's form.

Pecs? Press towads his feet with all he's got.

Rack deads are great for traps.

Floor deadlifts involve more secondary muscles, legs, hips, glutes...etc.

Rack deads from just below the knee are fine for a bodybuilder. floor deadlifts are great for functional strength or powerlifting. you want some explosive power? want to be able to grab an object and throw it around? do deadlifts from the floor with 35 pound plates. you have to get those hips low and use your heals to drive the weight up. you will build excellent functional strength with these. every person you know will call you when they move furniture!

Because I really don’t have a clued of that it means.  8)

On Triceps pressdowns, if you keep it close to your body and flex very hard at the bottom of the rep,
and contract your chest muscles.

Sort of the same on a steeper decline bench press, your pressing kind of toward your feet.
A narrow grip on the EZ Curl bar has a great feel on steep Decline Bench press.
Hard to get it up, may need a spotter, but great feel.

Same with dips, your pressing down toward feet, not 90 degrees AWAY from chest.(Like a normal bench press)

I'd still keep up the presses you've  been doing. Your chest is not bad.
Whole upper body shape is impressive. Narrow waist, wide and thick up top.

Are steroids controlled in Portugal? Or not a legal problem?
BTW - You got some of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Dark Hair'd women on Earth there! Heart Stoppers!

Yeah bro we have some pretty ladies down here.
well here the steroids are not controlled,off course you can not bring in a big load of steroids cause if costumes get it you will loose them but theres no law that ferbidens you to use buy or sell its a little bit tricky.

Well 1 month month ago i was using that Milos Sarcev training which is indeed the best training system i have made so far but as you cant be always doing the same routines and exercises i have changed it for the folowing:

1º day
Back,calves

2º day
chest

3ºday
legs


shoulders,calves


biceps,triceps


exercises: 6-7
sets: 3
reps: 15-12-10 or 8

Theres just one thing that i don't understand.you say that somehow making Triceps pressdowns you work the triceps and also the chest?and what will you get with that?
I must be honest and in this 5 years of training i have never made decline bench press i was told that it was no benefit on It but i guess that was wrong so i will start doing it.

what i have basically been doing for PECS is


Dumbbell Press
bench press
cross over but that movement coming from down thirds up.
Inclined Dumbbell Press
Inclined bench press
pecdek

Also when i do bench press i always take the bar thirds the throat as much as possible.

Thanks for the support bro next year i really want to compete at the highest level.

Pressdowns? Contract the chest hard like your posing at the bottom.

What your doing has built up chest. Its not bad.
I just see that the upper and middle is more developed than bottom line.

Dips, Declines and anything that presses hard toward the feet makes the bottom of chest
contract harder. Put one hand there at bottom of chest and press your free arm towards your feet.
Now move the arm up just like a bench press. Totaly lost that tight contraction at the low chest, right?

There aint nuthing wrong with your shape, but adding some detail the next guy dont have is
never a bad thing.
