1st Contest, plz help.
So my first natural bodybuilding contest is next year. April 6 to be exact. I have 8 weeks left of bulking before I do a 4 week transition to cutting for 12 weeks. I currently weigh 195lbs and plan to reach 200lbs by the end of my bulk. When it comes to contest weight, I'm going to shoot for 170lbs by the show. What are some good tips and advice for the rest of my bulk phase, transitioning phase, and cutting phase? Also what are some decent supps and training routines for the cut? Any particular Diets? Ill be posting updates as soon as I can. Thanks for anyone who helps me out.

Your asking for a whole lot of info to answer at once. I've only competed once but am more than willing to help. Skim down thru some of the other threads here first and you can get a lot of info. Then if you are still confused I'll see what I can do. ;-)

I've done a few and I haven't come in lean enough In either. I started my prep nov 1, I'm losing about 35lbs for mine. Also for a ahow in april. If you're doing a natty show I would just cut down now. You can try some things when you're leaner too like dry runs with water intake and sodium. See what you like better.

You may want to consider using my PRRS training protocol for your contest. Nothing retains muscle better on a diet.

A couple of things:
1) Try P/RR/S - It's legit.
2) 12 weeks is not enough, prep for 16 and don't worry about the scale too much. Do not say to yourself "I want to be 170 on show day" It's a trap. YOu need to get more peeled than you think.
3) Find someone to help do your prep. Hire a coach or at least find somone that will be an extra set of eyes. It's an overwhelming process. I see so many people try to do it on their own and end up having a bad experience. If you get a good coach it will be easier.
4) Diet is CRUCIAL. No amount of training is going to make up for a diet that is not spot on.

Luke and Hoss are amazing examples of what PRRS can do. In fact, Hoss was the athlete I used in my PRRS DVD.

Thanks hossjob! I've started cutting last Sunday. I'm seeing progress already. But as the best say preparing for a contest is a marathon not a sprint. I don't have the money to afford a coach but I have a coworker I've been lifting with and he keeps me up. He make sures I don't eat crap and motivates me to get going hard in the gym. Next Sunday I'll post some pics! My macros currently are pretty even 33/33/33.

If you don't mind me asking, what Post-Workout set up would you use? And would the sugar really matter after an intense workout?

I'm currently using Carnivor by musclemeds, and that's full of amino's itself. I hate to ask again, but for my goal and contest what would you recommend as a full pre-contest stack?

I'll post current progress pics next sunday! - 12-04-2012, 02:23 PM

I agree. I'm kinda worrying too much about supplements. I should just do what you said. I plan to only buy protein, bcaa's, fat burner, and a pre. I'm still confused on which ones to buy. I've been reading forums all day and talking to people at my gym and no luck.

I'll have to look them up, when I get off work tonight. I'm excited. I had cardio/ calves/ abs today, it was awesome. I got my conditioning back so I actually enjoyed the stairmaster. I could've done better I think for abs, but I don't want to overtrain them to the point I just have a belly of muscle.
