Hey guys! Just picked my first show August 22nd PA Muscle NPC. Going for True novice and 40-49 Physique. I have about 14 weeks to prep. Pics are where I'm starting at. I'm currently running 600test cyp 400 mast. I was thinking of bumping the mast to 600 and possibly lowering the test (at least a little closer to the show). I'll also add 50mg daily Split dose for the last 8 weeks. I've never ran Tren but was thinking about adding 200mg Tren E the last 6-8 weeks? Is the Tren overkill for me, considering pics and age? Currently running a slight 300 cal deficit which I'll adjust (was at a 600 deficit, lost too much too quick, lack of experience 🙃) every 2 weeks or so. I was hoping the Tren would help me keep more muscle, I have no issue with eating less, I just don't want to lose too much muscle, not a lot there, so I'm told I'll realize when I get truly lean for the first time, lol. Is the Test, Mast and Anavar enough to maintain?? Any who, thanks for your thoughts, brothers. Just a 45 yr old dad who wants his kids to see him do something far outside his comfort zone!
 
Photos are giving me a Lil trouble...

You are shredded brother, you definitely don’t need Tren. Save that for another time or when you hit a plateau down the road and are stuck with no progress
 
You are already in great shape. At 600 test and 400 mast, your taking a gram a week. That's not insignificant for a 45 year old. Especially when you have kids to consider. I'm not saying stop. I'm thinking a gram is plenty. Especially, and I mean no homo - you already are in great condition. If you add a new compound, especially tren perhaps drop the dosage on one of the existing compounds. Just my $0.02. Good luck bud.
 
Thanks everybody! I'm going to leave the Tren out. I will add some anavar 8 weeks out then switch to test prop several weeks out. Thank you all for the advice and encouragement. It feels good to have my back against the wall with everyone knowing I plan on competing and when. I'll definitely keep updating this thread!
 
Current stats 5'11 180lb...guessing I'll need to be down close to 170-172 for my build in the physique category? Trial and error, let's get it!
 
First meal, overnight oats, 1 serving oatmeal, 1 scoop whey 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1/2 cp blueberries 2 hard boiled eggs. I eat this 5 days a week. Weekend, egg whites and warm oatmeal instead. Meal 2 and 3 200gram chx breast 150g sweet potatoes or jasmine rice, rest day today, (300 grams training days). I'll eat at maint on back and leg day. 300 cal deficit the other 2 training days and a 500 cal deficit on off days. 2100 cal weekly deficit for now since I'm already pretty lean for being 14 weeks out.

Found a coach and started full prep protocol on Saturday. Seems I've been eating way to restricted and not enough fats. I purchased my NPC membership, signed up for a show and booked a hotel already... it's a weird feeling actually committing like this. All of a sudden it feels more serious, like a job. But, like a job I'm obsessed about and love. Scary but exciting. Let's get it!
