I want to run a 15-16 week test enanthate cycle and i also have 30cc of deca at 200mg/ml

I've never used deca before, so how bad of an idea would it be to use this and stay shredded?

15 weeks at 400mg
or 14 weeks at 425mg

i saw an article by dave palumbo and he advocated the use of deca precotest to help with joints using dry compounds like winstrol but i think he said a good dose would be 300mg/wk

Tom, I'm not really familiar with using Deca precontest, I'd just recomend stopping all long esters 3 weeks out.

...but what contest are you planning on entering? Is it something your agent is putting you up to?

heh no i just said pre-contest so that I didn't have to explain really, but it's basically the same thing...more photo shoots for fitness magazines.

Makes sense...my old agents always used to want me to have a "bigger chest" and "better abs"...he did mention doing a contest or two for the exposure but it wasn't until after I left the agency that I became really interested in competing...

...Theres a big difference in the two though. Basically the emphasis on certain body parts vs. the body as a whole...

Best of luck...which mags are you shooting for?

That seems like a normal/good place to start.

yea i hope so...the pay for fitness modeling is pretty much the lowest, but the credibility it will give me with a career in health and exercise will be well worth it

Yea...make sure you put away 25 cents of every dollar you make...

And keep all of your gym due reciepts/records, hair cut reciepts, tanning receipts, supplement reciepts, etc...anything that goes into how you look.

it's tough to say if u should use the deca bc you don't know how u'll respond to it...but from what I've been told u should be fine...i've also seen ppl use anadrol precontest to blunt appetite and keep strength

i don't think its anything a low sodium diet and a diuretic wont fix if u bloat a bit from the deca

here is a Q&A with Dave Palumbo

"The Ultimate Precontest Stack for a Competitive Bodybuilder

Dave, what is the ultimate "STACK" for a precontest, dieting, bodybuilder? Please include dosages.

Given the current available anabolics (and starting from a point at around 8-10 weeks out), I would have to say that the following would be an ideal anabolic combination:

1000mg Sustanon per week (necessary to maintain base of muscle mass)
200mg Primobolan per week (great on low calorie diets)
50mg Winstrol every other day (hardening agent)
400mg Deca per week (keeps the joints feeling good)
50mg Anadrol per day (keeps the strength elevated, meanwhile, the hunger-blunting effect is welcome)
2-4 IU GH per day (fat burner and muscle preserver)
2-4 clenbuterol per day (fat burner and strength increaser)"

Primo is such a light roid...it does have it's benefits though.

...Pistonpump was planning on using it a while back, I'm not sure if he ever did though.

Is it possible that test-e, or test-prop, or EQ blunts appetite? Because I'm never hungry anymore... which is a good thing on this cutting cycle.

Ummm, those are pretty notorious for increasing appetite. Or atleast keeping it steady.
