Competition Q - MESO-Rx

BarbellBeast · #1 (**permalink**) 08-24-2009, 11:58 PM

The question I have is how long before competition day should you stop test prop? I've heard one week, two weeks, and one of my buddies uses it right on through so I'm sure there's no right or wrong, but what seems to work best for you?

If my stats matter they are:
Age: 21<- I'm well aware of the risks, I'm willing to accept them.
current weight: 198
current bf: 9-10% caliper says 9%, Bioelectric impedance says 10%
height:5'10"
13.5 weeks out from competition

Thanks for the help.

Its a tough question to answer, it really depends on the person and how they metabolize everything. Im not sure what their testing for in your comp, but if your going by the half life of prop which is about 4.5 days it would probably take up to 2-3 weeks for all metabolites to be out of your system. But another issue is, if you plan on running pct, or plan on using any dieuretics, they probably will be testing for those as well. But id say 3-4 weeks out. You could always use some Test Suspension up to the two week out point if needed as well. That being no ester involved, would be out within a few days.

It's an untested NPC competition. I always thought most people stop test before a show because of estrogen conversion.

I dunno, ive never heard of that. Ive heard most run test suspension up to the contest, incorporate the diuretics, and then carb up to get a fuller look.

Bro, it totally depends on you!! I stop test 10 days out........but run very large dosage of hex and masteron right thru--------gh of course, some blood sugar manipulation saturday morning.

What compounds do you dry out with??

Do you have a problem making weight?

What class are you in?

How much BF do you carry 3 months out?

When do you start drying up?

All very good questions. This is my first competition so I have no idea with alot of those questions. I'll be taking epistane right up to competition day. In my experience it works better than winny with a much smaller dose than winny. I'm getting married a few weeks before the comp so my budget doesn't permit getting tren or masteron. Not a clue if I have a problem making weight or when I start drying out. This is the first time in my life I've been under 10% bf, I'm a little more than 13 weeks out right now. Probably a little behind schedule but I'm running natural right now trying to maintain muscle. Won't hop on my cycle for another 2 weeks and then I plan on things getting drastic. I'm not extremely worried, I'm only doing the novice competition this time around and I've seen pics of the novice class, throw some protan on me right now, put me in a banana hammock and I can probably place pretty high. I knew there wasn't a solid universal answer, I just wanted to hear when other people stop testosterone to give myself an idea of when I should. I think I'll try doing my last inj about a week before competition day. Thanks for the help broskis.

How many cycles have you run before this? What bf% do you carry normally? DO you have thick joints? How bad have you bloated in past cycles?

I'm still a noob when it comes to injecting. Only did cycle of sustanon earlier this year. Before that it was a couple years of legal orals running them for a month or two and then 3+ months off. I'm normally around 15% bf. Don't know how you gauge thick joints but my wrists and kankles are pretty thick. The other joints are covered with slabs of beef so it's hard to say

. I don't think I got bloated off sustanon. If I could figure out how to put a picture on here then I could show you and let you judge, but I've never been good with doing shit like that on forums. This info probably doesn't help much but thanks for doing what you can to help guys.
