only running gear the last 6-8 wks prior to show

[abolish the weak]

Guy prepping me just wants me to use test until about 6 wks out. He said at that point I'll add 100mg mas eod, 100 mg winny eod, 100mg tren eod, and 30mg halo last 3 wks. He says anything else other than test until 6 wks out just isn't necessary for me. Anyone else do things this way while prepping?

I agree with the guy... and from personal experience, test is fine alone up to 4 weeks out... then you add the hardening agents... 6 weeks out is good also, but i like to save a couple of bucks

Well to each his own I suppose. I would not recommend that. Test will harden you up as you get closer to your show as long as your diet is set up correctly. Drop the long esters and use prop is what I would do. Winny yes, tren, yes, Mast yes. Just keep your test levels up and you should retain a hell of a lot of mass right up to show time. Getting hard and grainy looking is all about diet, not the drugs you use. Same with water retention, it is about keeping yourself well hydrated all the time, the body then has no need to retain excess water.

to a degree, yes. but there is a look you just can't get with diet alone no matter what you do. sometimes you can tell by how grainy some competitors are what they're using. but true, using halo when you're at 8% fat will only make you look slightly better and won't give you what you were looking for. for those drugs to work optimally you have to be ready to step on stage without them... then they give that WOW effect

P.S. it's good to have you back, bro. it's been a while.
