Competition timeline?

coachj0233 · Sep 30, 2004

hi guys, alot of familiar faces here. some of you may know the name, some may not.
i was referred here by a guy who said this was the place to ask questions when it come to competitions. anyway heres what im wondering..... id like to do my first contest on june 25th. i was wondering whats the typical timetable of when i should be bulking, gaining lean mass, and then cutting. i fgure ill cut for 10 weeks so i was thinking maybe 10 weeks to bulk and 10 weeks to only gain lean mass?

current stats are:
5' 7"
217.5 this morning
21% bf
waist 38

i figure if i start leaning really early i can easily lose the bf i need to in time for the show. thanks for the help, i appreciate it alot

At your bodyfat i would probably hold off on your contest until you can get yourself down to about 13%.

Then worry about competing.

Trying to come down form 21% to 3-4% would be murder on anyone and would take a lot of dedication and time.

Also want to point out that losing about 37 lb of Fat (to be contest ready) that you have will take you a good 20 weeks of consistent dieting. So hopefully that gives you a timeframe.

i have no problem being on a lean diet for a very long time. my fiance makes some badass food and its all healthy(low carb, high protein, mod fat) so thats not a problem at all. i just want to know what kind of timetable to look at.

btw im on a sust, tren e, t3 and clen cycle at the moment so a nice pice of the bf will be coming off soon.

Well i still think it'll take a solid (20 week precontest diet) to get you ready. With the T3 clen ect. And great eating.

Also expect with that 37 lb of Fat your going to lose a good 13 - 18 lb LBM (water and muscle).

So that will put you somewhere around 165 lb. Most people would have a problem with going from 220 lb to 165 (because your use to being big).

It might be in your best bet to contact Phil or Wyldeone to get you ready for your contest. But don't delay as most of these guys want you working with them a min of 6 months and sometimes more so they get to know your body.

Good Luck
