Prepping for show..need some advice..

I am prepping for a show I want to enter next year in May 04. I wanted to know when I good time to start a cycle would be? I need to get the timing down, as well as the cycle..

I was thinking of starting the following cycle around Feb and run it through till the show. Is this too early? Too late??
Tren 75-100mg/EOD or ED?
Test-prop-100mg/EOD.
then add some clen to help cut up,
I am trying to gain a few more lbs to go to the next weight class, Super Heavy, so I'm hoping this cycle will help with that.
Tips/Suggestions?

I was just dealing with the same issue myself. I'm competing for the first time on April 24. I'm 19 1/2 weeks out right now. I was first considering doing a 14 week cut. Then I got some bad advice that told me 12. So I talked to most muscular and he explained to me why a 16 week cut is best for me. Right now I am 175lbs and approx 11% bodyfat. Now I may not have much fat to lose but he explained to me that if I get down to 5-6% before the comp I can use the 2-3 weeks extra that I have to fill out because I will look flat when I get my bf down there. My best advice for you is to talk to someone who has done it before and had a lot of success. They can really help you out.

Thanks for the advice bro!
I will have to do that. I am currently 245lbs, about 10-12% BF, I want to try to enter the Superheavy class, because I am tall 6'1" so I need to gain a few more lbs

im no test guru but i would say that a typical cycle is anywhere from 12-16 weeks. That is also the standard time for a precontest diet. Have u ever cycled gear before? if so at what point did you see the best gaing coming out, ther is form waht i hear a cuple weeks in the begining where you dont see a lot of gains becaue the body is adjustiing but figure out when you think your body will start peaking in the cycle. Towards the end your body may be worn down and to add a precontest dehydration and carb depleting you many not want to run the cycle paralle to the cycle.

My advice is try to do the show in week8-10 of you cycle. That way you wont kill oyurslef with the dehydration and the carb depletion and sodium+ creatine loading.

Ask this question in the steroid forum... you will get better info in the gear and will get mroe responces. This fourm always seams a little on the slow side imo.
