My first competitor on-stage!

[guarido]

After prepping myself alone for my first competition i finally had the chance to prep my first competitor for 16 weeks and this saturday he jumped on-stage! i feel really grateful for having this opportunity and really proud of his improvements! we wanted a more dense back and thats what we did.... now, on to the off season.

That's amazing that anyone has achieved so much in the world of bodybuilding. You are an inspiration. Don't stop now.

Btw it is refreshing and unusual to see a body building thread on this forum.

The biggest shame is that if you did a thread on turbo vs supercharged small blocks you would have gotten a hundred reads. But keeping to topic gets none.

Sounds like a good idea. Especially if you include all the tech on prep like diet training and timing.

I will read that 4 sure.

How'd the prep go? What did you learn?

Mine or his?
well if we're talking about mine, i prepped for 20 weeks and what i learned is that you cant outwork TIME, you can do a 12 week harsh prep but you wont have the same conditioning of a 20 week prep.

Stims, you dont actually need to cycle clen, if possible start 20mcg at around 16 weeks out and increase it as needed.

Thyroid, just use if bloodwork tells you to, i didnt needed thyroid meds but Pedro needed 25mcg T3 and 100mcg T4 to put in a healthy range so we could keep prepping optimally.

Tren, we didnt used more than 140mg (20mg per day)

Training, we lowered volume as the prep went down and last 3 weeks we just cruised in a maitenance training volume.

Refeeds, sometimes i would give him 3 days in a row of refeed and body would keep responding, HOWEVER there were no CHEAT MEALS just more of the same in a controlled manner.

Peak week, i feel like i could have carbed up him and myself more, i was too conservative trying to keep his glutes in but at the end of the day i could see he still kept it (just a little bit more blurried) but the back got way denser.

I dont know what to tell you, maybe you have any specific question?


his cycle 500mg test, 400mg mast, 140mg tren, 40mg winstrol (last 3 weeks)

photos are from my prep
