My First Competition Cycle

Hi Guys,

I figured I'd post my cycle on here to get a bit of insight.
Stats:
Age 20
Height 5'8
Weight 179
Bf 5%
Lifting for 7 years

So I'm currently a couple weeks out from my second bodybuilding show. So far in 12 weeks I have lost 6lbs and went from 12% bf at 185 to 5% bf at 179, strength has not gone down; my cycle is as follows..

Sust250 500mg wk 1-8
Eq 500mg wk 1-8
Var 50mg ed wk 1-4
Test Prop 400mg wk 8-14
Mast Prop 400mg wk 8-14
Winny 50mg ed wk 10-14
Arimidex 12.5mg eod wk 1-14

Pct:
Clomid 50/50/50/50
Nolva 20/20/20/20/20

This is my second cycle I've ever ran. My first cycle was test c 500mg for 8 weeks. I managed to put on 21 lbs during the cycle and kept about 10 lbs after pct but ended up being much leaner then before cycle and bigger at 10lbs heavier. So as for my current cycle I have seen mind blowing progress with my physique, and haven't lost any strength during 12 weeks of my contest prep so far. As for rebounding after the show I am wondering if starting pct the day after my show will put me in an extremely catabolic state since ill be off gear completely and only running nolva and clomid? Would it be wise to continue with my test prop injections for 4 weeks post contest to allow my bodys hormone levels to balance out by putting on some fat and muscle instead of being totally shut down during that process? Then continue to run pct 3 days after my last shot, my pct is clomid 50/50/50/50 nolva 20/20/20/20/20. How does this sound to you experienced users out there? My goal is to not loose any size I have built / maintained this cut and to add some size/strength after my show before I come off all the gear and do a full recovery.

You do look good but are you doing blood work and how is that look.

I think you use too many compounds and you can accomplish the same with less. Just IMOP.

Good luck

Thanks for the input! So far I haven't experienced any sides throughout the cycle so I plan on getting blood work done 4 weeks into pct. Why do you think 2-3 compounds at once is to much?

No 2-3 with the right mix for the goal. BUT you put down six (6) on a 14 week cycle. not enough time for your body to develop with each compound. Your body is not digital. It doesn't react like a motor when the valve open to inject nito Good luck and let us know.

Well I realize sust and eq take a lot longer to kick in so I did a front load with each for two weeks to speed things up. But I see what you're saying, what would you recommend for next time around to make the compounds more effective? Thanks oldschoolmike, I'll be sure to keep everyone updated. If anyone wants to see any progress pics let me know!
