Lean Bulk Cycle
I am aiming to do my first amateur bodybuilding competition in the fall (don’t ask me why…just have to hit the stage once in my life!) and I am planning the cycle to support my efforts. I want to attempt to Lean Bulk in the first half of the cycle and cut in the last half. Here are my stats and a “preliminary” plan on what to run:
- 36 years old, 215lbs, bit of chub but relatively lean
- 3 cycles under belt, mostly 500Mg Test, some EQ and Anavar
- Training for 15+ years, very consistently in the last 2 years
- Not a calorie counter but aim to eat every 2-3 hours, high protein, moderate carbs/fats
Weeks
1-6 30-50mg Tbol
1-13 500mg Test E or Sust
1-14 400-600mg EQ
10-16 400-500 mg Masteron (not sure if going prop or enanthate)
13-16 Test Prop (switch to short esther heading in to contest/PCT)
6-16 250iu HCG 2X/week, blast before PCT
AI: Aromasin 12.5mg EOD OR Armimidex .5MG EOD
PCT
Clomid 100/100/50/50
Nolvadex 40/40/20/20
Questions:
- Is it realistic to want to put of some decent size in first part (ie. 10-15lbs) and than cut?
- Was considering NPP/Dbol instead of EQ/Tbol, (ie. Still not sure if EQ is worth it/effective) but concerned about water retention. If I keep moderate doses of NPP and Dbol, can I get away with it pre-contest, with clean diet and good AI
- Aromosin vs Arimidex for E2 sides/water retention, which one is best? Does Arimidex really have a significant risk of estro rebound?
- Too many compounds? Want the bulkers and the cutters, but may be overkill?
Really appreciate the advice guys!
