My cutting cycle. Using this as prep for a show in 2004

[Jackedup]

I am currently 230 pounds standing 5'6". Been bulking heavy and the BF must be around 18-20% easy. When I bulk, I fuckin bulk. I love the strength that the extra weight allows me to push. But to get back on track, Ive been training for about 7 years on and off. For 3 years straight from ages 17-20, then off completely for 2 years(years 20 and 21) Then back into it again for the last 2 years. Im 24 now. during the last 2 years Ive taken one 2 month period completely away from training and another 5 month period completely off of training. Been back in the gym since Sept. and Im the biggest that I have ever been. Now I know this cutting cycle may look extreme but Im using it as my prep for one year from now when I am going to enter my first contest. Im very into bodybuilding and have been for a long time. My cycle experience is very extensive. Ive got 6 very nice cycles under my belt. The shortest was 12 weeks. The longest was my last two cycles at 6 months.

So here it goes

Starting March 30th

Test E...............Weeks 1-18 (400mg/wk)
EQ....................Weeks 1-18 (700mg/wk)
Liquidex............Weeks 3-20 (0.5 mg/ed)
Fina..................Weeks 6-20 (75 mg/ed)
Winny...............Weeks 11-20 (50 mg/ed)
Clen..................Weeks 11-20 (2 weeks on/2 weeks off)
T3.....................Weeks 11-20 (12.5, 12.5, 12.5, 25, 25, 25, 37.5, 37.5, 37.5, 50)
HCG & Nolva.....10000IU every 7 weeks(1000IU ed for 10 days with 20mg Nolva ed during those 10 days)
Im hoping to get my hands on some GH and run it at 2-3IU's five days a week but so far it doesnt look good as far as me getting some.

I will agree, diet is the key here. Im fairly confidant that my diet looks good. Currenrly my bulker looks like this

330 grams of Protein
375 grams of Carbs
130 grams of Fat
Approx 4000 cals.
(6 meals a day, sometimes 5)


I am planning on starting off my cutter at this

330 grams of Protein
275 grams of Carbs
65 grams of Fat
Approx 3000 cals.
(7 meals a day)
I was planning on starting like this and after about 8 weeks seeing where I am and making any adjustments and keeping my eyes open that last 12 weeks.

I have pretty slow metabolism and it really intensifies(slows down a lot more) during bulking. But it seems like when I cut fat and a little carbs out of the diet and make sure im eating every 3 hours, that I can cut up pretty decent (metabolism gets going good)as well and keep a very decent amount of muscle. For instance, the last cutter I did, even though I had been off training for awhile before I started, ended up keeping me at the same weight after 3 months while losing about 7% BF. Mind you I would think a lot of that had to do with muscle memory intertwining with the diet.

Just looks to hear any feedback or some suggestions to alter a thing or two. Any comment on the diet would also be nice. Sorry for such a long post. Figured you would all like to know a bit more about me before you gave me advice thats all................J

The diet looks pretty darn good to me.

I haven't run a cycle beyond 13 weeks but I may try it eventually.

I like the cycle but the test base is a bit weak IMO. I'd rather see you switch the dosages of test and eq. Switching to test prop in weeks 19-20 would be a nice bonus as well.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over the gh. I think its generally overrated and more expensive than it is worth.

If it were me I would double the T3 doses also, I am very fond of T3.

Hey Jackedup here is my 2 cent worth....

Just my opinion but the test dose could be higher and the EQ lower, if it was up to me here is how I would run a 20 week precontest cycle...


Weeks 20-13

Test (Sost.) 750-1000mg week
Deca (QV) 400-600mg week
D-bol 30-50mg ED
Arimadex (liquidex) .5 mg EOD or ED (if need to)
GH 2-4 iu's ED

Weeks 12-7

Test (cyp or ethn) 1000mg week
EQ (QV) 100mg EOD
A50 1 tab ED
Arimadex (liquidex) same as above
GH 2-4 iu's ED

Weeks 6-1 (show)

Test (prop.) 100-200mg EOD
WV 50mg EOD
Tren 50mg EOD
Primo 100mg EOD
GH 2-4 iu's ED (some people might want to stop a week out)
Arimadex (liquidex) same as above


Clens (start at 8-12 weeks out, depends on conditioning and metabolism) start with 2 tabs a day, go up 1 tab every two weeks

Cytomel (start at 8-12 weeks out, again depends on conditioning and metabolism) start with 1/2 tab and go up 1/2 every two weeks

As for your diet, being that you have bulked up pretty heavy ,I would use a diet similar to what Dave Palumbo suggest. High Pro/mod fat and low carbs all week, with one carb up meal on the weekend. I used this type of diet with great sucess. If your intrested in knowing more let me know....

Best of luck with your show,

chris
