You looked fantastic that year bro

[Baal]

thanks so much for posting this, its about time we've seen what a real pro's cycle looked like.

Sweet! Thanks Man

Can I ask you if the what kind of doses in the offseason?

[dan12]

thanks man

[MesoPeaks]

wow lol

[warbird00]

Finally a legit cycle! Now an end to rediculous speculation!

Can we move this somewhere better?

[siersy]

wow really upped the test going into the comp.

but a bit less compounds that i expected!

lots of caffine do you really feel that helps alot? in a motivation way or just pro inflamatory way...

[strength777]

this is awsome.

thanks tom

[freak31]

**** those who think steroids are what make a pro. I have friends that use 3 times more compounds and dosages as you Tom, and none look anywhere close as you.

Its just the majority believe that the only thing preventing them from becoming a pro or like a pro are steroids and the heavy cycles they do, but comparing the cycles ive seen people do to what Tom posted here, proves otherwise. Also, thanks for posting this Tom.

[A-rod]

Interesting,its about time someone with balls trows cards on the table!!!!

[brunoj1]

Wow insane cycle, maybe one day i will try it.

Answering a few questions:

1. Caffeine was used for a few things. First, as a thermogenic.. ephedrine/caffeine keep your body temperature raised so that you keep burning fat. Second, used in conjunction with the GH, to stimulate your metabolism. LOTS (and I mean waaayyy too many) of people think you need to actually use thyroid, or some form of T3, to stimulate your thyroid to keep the GH working effectively. (If you don't this when reading.. GH can, if you're not careful, cause your thyroid to shut down if it's not stimulated when using the GH).

2. I always wrote my own cycles.

3. "Upping the test going into the show". The longer you diet, and the leaner you get, the higher the doses should go, in my opinion. The closer the show gets, and the leaner you get, the more at risk you are of losing muscle. It's just common sense.


BY THE WAY.. please notice. Nothing crazy or fantastic in that cycle. Just common sense. No weird compounds. GH, Cypionate, Deca, Winstol. That's it really.

I'M TELLING YA'.. it's hard work, lots of years, and genetics.

I'll answer any questions people may have.

Great of you to speak up like this!

Did you not use any slin? Any other peptides? (Whether it be during of season or contest prep)

Also were you doses/cycles in the off season 'heavier'?

Thanks

This is really cool of you. I think it will be good for people as well. Some casual users have higher dosing then this. Really, Thank you.

Insulin: NEVER. I tired insulin the Wednesday before Friday night's prejudging the year I won Nationals. I filled up too fast, and spilled over too fast, and it was basically just a mess. I didn't get any fuller than normal.. so, why bother.

Insulin in the off-season never made sense, either. You can eat as much as you want. My body produces enough insulin on it's own.

NOW.. if I was helping a guy in a weight class, who had to make weight one night, and compete the next night.. and he had to kill himself and get super flat to make the weight.. I may have used insulin to carb someone up who didn't have time for his body to do it on it's own.


HERE'S A SIMPLE GUIDELINE TO FOLLOW: LESS compounds to account for, means you have MORE control. Think of the gear, diet, training, like balls you're juggling in the air. It's much easier to juggle 3 balls, than 10 balls.
The more variables you keep adding, the harder it is to predict the outcome.

Tom,

I have many questions for you so Ill just throw a few out for now;

Maybe you could think of a few backstage storys to tell us.

Did you often use deca pre contest, and for what reasons.

What did your off season cycles look like.

Would you cruise year round, or come off completely for awhile after dieting down.


I think everyone really appreciates this very much. Thank you again for your time and honesty!!

Agreed!

Tom, this might turn into an "ask Tom thread". So many people will have questions for you.

[DjJAN]

I will add 3 more to Baals questions:

1.Why u begin the cycle with sustanon and then change to test cy?Why not to start with test cy from the beggining?(Just wondering if there is any secret behind this change,we should know)

2.Whats the best time to take GH in ur opinion?

3.Do u follow any special diet on ur precontest preperation,like Keto or u go with high protein-carbs and low fat??

[bigcalves]

I wonder what ronnie does to get ready for a show. I really wonder.

[TripTastic]

Wow extremely cool information!

[AnabolicMaximus]

Wow - thanks Tom!

Quick Question.. Would you say that this type of relatively conservative cycle - especially for someone your size - is closer to the norm in terms of what other pros at your time used (the ones you knew personally, anyways) or were you seen as more conservative with your dosages/cycles compared to other guys?


Strength, I think we should sticky this. Would prevent a lot of people from thinking they have to have crazy dosages to reach that level of success. I think Tom's pictures speak volumes for what hard work and determination - and not crazy dosages - really are in the grand scheme of bodybuilding.
