Competition Question

[brocksamson]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do I have to switch to shorter esters the closer i get to contest time? If the fat is off and im lean does it really matter what gear im running. I dont have the ez excess to gear as i used to making it just easier to use what I have and not try to get more. I would competing as a lightheavy at 198lbs dieting down from about 220lbs. Im currently running test at 375mg weekly and started EQ at 400mg which should start to build up in the my system in the next week or two. I know these doses might seem low to some but i have ran more comounds at higher doses and just ended up with more bad sides. This is the lowest dosed cycle ive run and ive gotten the same if not better gains with the these doses because my diet has been spot on. I understand that water retention and bloat could be a factor with the longer acting esters but i think it could be controlled with the proper diet. ANy input on the nescessity to change compounds closer to contest time would be appreciated.

Nothin says you have to switch, but if you think you are a little watery and have tried to manipulate this with your diet then i would say yes use short acting esters. But try to drop some water by switching up your diet and lowering sodium a little. That is try to limit how much salt is in your diet, do not cut it out but just look for lower sodium alternatives. See what this does for you first.
