Contest Prep; Why do the *pros* drop all of their *supplements* a week out?

[tom joad]

BBers take stuff up to the show, because they need it for their HEAD, not their body...

are you saying that the pros are addicted to their bodybuilding drugs, and that deep down they know that their physiques are "all drugs?"

[Colossus_1986]

Yeah, 2 WEEKS...only an idiot would take anything after that....there certainly is no benefit, and ALL steroids/GH retain water, even the water based...that said...why risk infection, or any adverse reaction that close to the show? Nothing will be of any benefit other than a diuretic (which has its own list of problems)

notice many times BB'ers have the "flu" or "battling a cold", makes you think how many times they had a bad reaction to a shot?
its probably more common than you think..


and on point of : only an idiot would take anything after that

Stavios should post thelink of the guy who competed at the Quebec Provincials this past July.
POP goes the shoulder! lol

You said over at Milos' board that he wasn't allowed back onstage, as well he'd drained like 30cc's of puss out of it the night before?

yop exactly !

pretty fucked up, don't know why he didn't go to the hospital instead of draining the puss by himself

Someone post the pic of Chick's injection site lump on his ass. Hard to believe that was a 2 week old injection. But who knows.


Chick saying steroids can't possibly do anything positive the last 2 weeks is a bit silly IMO. Some steroids can cause visible effects within a couple of days, which many bodybuilders feel are positive judging by the mirror. And the effects could be lost as quickly as well. Not many do this, but say you had only been on orals and Winstrol and Test suspension - not a good idea to have close to zero androgens in your system for that many days.

But if Chick had been running an *all script cycle* of Test Cyp and Nandrolone Dec and knowing he has a body that retains water and tends to look soft even with diuretics then his approach could certainly be a good one.

KA-KA-BOOM !

Infection? I dont know what shit you guys are getting.

Underground dirty stuff

but not Chick, he had scripts

Tom Prince had a nasty shoulder infection/abscess the year, or the year before he turned pro, as I recall him saying. Those script items sure are dirty. Perhaps this is why Chick avoids shooting close to a show.

or just maybe these guys are using clean stuff but they're just dirty unsanitary mother fuckers.

and what ever happened to if you look good 2 wks out why change anything? how do u think someones system would react if they took out all androgens 2 wks before they stepped onstage, certainly not favourably........

[flexingtonsteele]

Thanks. I have no reason to lie about this.

 One IFBB Pro I see around is currently OFF-SEASON preparing soon for an IFBB show in the spring, and I have never seen him pop a pill, talk about how this supplement is good or how he like taking this supplement or anything. 


 Post workout when he, myself and a couple other dudes are finished training while phags like me are carefully pouring our pre-measured mixture of whey isolate and waxy maize he is just sitting there discussing where to go eat at.



 - Block.

Quoted for extreme motha fukin truth.

I know an IFBB pro or two and at the very most all they take is a whey protein that they get sent to them for free, other than that its the food in their fridge and the drugs in their medicine cabinets.

anyone is a fool to think that ronnie used no'xplode pwo or that dexter jackson uses any muscletech product LOL

[TRIX]

Obviously stopping taking gear 2 weeks wouldn't do shit i gather, because it will be still in there system.

[Albert Schmidt]

WOW 1st post from Chick that was 100% Truth.Nice work in the Honersty department Chick.

No leading into the show they change over to faster acting esters/orals/water based drugs..2 weeks off those drugs and I dont think your body will look its best, 2 days out is more like it.

Couldnt be more wrong...99% of the necesary diuretic use in the last 48 hrs is due to holding excess water from gear still in the system (and excess carbs as well)...both are unnecessary and counter-productive.

Chick gh15 recommended cutting out growth hormone 2 weeks before the show... is that something you have heard of other pros doing? So its pretty much going clean 2 weeks out?

why all of this "hocus pocus" the last two weeks chic.

the diuretics, the sodium loading, the dropping of the gear, the carb loading, the shit loading, the magic pills, etc etc.

whatever happened to getting in shape, getting shredded conditioning, dry like cottonmouth, and hard as a porn stars cock? now guys cant come into a show inshape if their life depending on it ( just look at all this years pro qualifiers so far ).......i think alot of it has to do with this "hocus pocus" ppl now RELY on.

Agreed....and one of the main reasons it took me so long to turn pro. the "smarter" I got, the worse I showed up....the KISS method certainly should apply to contest prep.

I think loading on slin is what we see nowadays

it fucked up the conditioning

guys try to get as big as possible and it hurts conditioning...I'm sure Jim will agree w/ me

[just_a_pilgrim]

What about Robbie Robinson who took 1 shot (or was it 1 1/2 shots?) just before a show and it transformed him to win?

[asianmyth]

Yeah, 2 WEEKS...only an idiot would take anything after that....there certainly is no benefit, and ALL steroids/GH retain water, even the water based...that said...why risk infection, or any adverse reaction that close to the show?

partly true.Nolvadex or Arimidex has to be in till end or even after the show.
