I actually got 13.5 weeks now coached and I pushed out there a smaller show a few weeks later he wants me to get on stage there first time and all then we can get judges feedback and see weak spots in posing. He did not really want me onstage at a big show the first time. He's not charging me anymore for the extra prep so I know he just wants me to be confident and do well.

That's cool. There is actually a show 8 weeks out from mine that my brother is doing. There is a "possibility" I will do it too. My main concern is Aprils right now though ;)

I need to compete one day. Of course I'll need more mass first though. Or F it maybe I should just hit up physique?

Anyway, mixedup you need to update us with some stats. Weight, bf %, all that!

How tall? Reason I am asking is I am 5'8" 194, around 10% BF right now. So I will be competing in middle weight, 154 1/4lbs to 176lbs. Your height plays a pretty good role in it to because of the weight classes. If I was to compete against mixedup and we were the same weight with the same conditioning he would have a better chance because he is going to look a lot bigger at 5'1" compared to me at 5'8". Make sense?

Are you taking an AI? Trest aromatizes pretty easy, so the few lbs may be water weight.

Not strong enough for me aromasin is a suicidal inhibitor and the tamoxifen of course is a serm so I keep gyno and water away via two different actions
because the tamox alone wouldn't do anything for water retention would it? It only protects the receptors behind the nips?

Whats the difference of a suicide inhibitor and a normal one like adex.

Arimidex binds reversibly to the aromatase enzyme through competitive inhibition. whereas Aromasin (Exemestane) is a Type-I aromatase inhibitor, or suicidal aromatase inhibitor. It's called this because it lowers estrogen production in the body by attaching to the aromatase enzyme, and permanently deactivating it.

it's not because an AI is suicidal aromatase inhibitor that it will be stronger than no suicidal one (adex)

Yes it's the same type as letro their actions are both stronger than adex

Tamoxifen has always helped me stay dry back before we had the new generation a is like adex or letro

ok so adex binds but only because the affinity is higher. it does not permanently deactivate the enzyme. if something else came along with a higher affinity it could bind instead of adex?

Technically, aromasin permanently deactivates so no worry about rebound either

Adex is very good works for most people I have some pre existing so I am extra careful usually run letro but it was drying my joints and skin too much this has been a long blast so had to switch it up

Sorry if you've talked about this before, but do you run any Cycle Support product during your blasts or just individual ingredients?
