My final "Natty" contest pic

[ChuckaZulu]

Gonna go on a Bulking Cycle soon...

[scorpio]

Looking solid bro, what are your stats?

[tenn0titan]

Post your cycle and we can give you are two cents. tentitan

[ChuckaZulu]

I'm still researching what I want to use for my first cycle. I did 2 cycles in 1987 and have been natural since. I plan to compete in the Spring and will set something up accordingly.

I just started taking 50mg HCTZ (Hydrochlorothiazide) for my High Blood Pressure which will have to be taken into account.

I'm currently 35 y/o 5'9" 190lbs @ 12% BF

I was 158lbs in the picture October 2001.

I appreciate your cycle advise.

I used Pro Tan for my Base and the Pro Tan Mousse for the final coat, which turned everything a slight shade of green. Live & learn I guess.

First , Let me congratulate you on your first show.

Second, you have done a very nice job being natural; my hat goes off to you.

I would go with a test only for your first cycle in over 15 years.

Test Enat or Cyp @ 400-500 mg per week, for 9 weeks
Then Prop @ 150-200 mg eod for 9-12
Start pct 3 days after last prop inj.

[hardcorelifter]

Looking good, can you tell me what you are looking for. Pure mass or quality muscle. In what clas s you want to partcipate?

Sincerely,

HL

Thanks, Looks like a decent cycle. I was considering EQ & Prop, but I like your idea of going with Test.

That was my 6th contest as a "Natty" and I'm looking for Quality.

Thanks agan,

Chuck

Thats good solid advice! Might add alittle dbol in there if you want to grab some extra mass, not to highly dosed, say 30 mg ed for 4 weeks.You can always opt to do that second time around.

Thanks for the advice Bro. I may compete in September and have been getting plan together these past few days.

not bad bro

[ChuckaZulu]

Well, I no longer consider myself a true "Natty" after doing several M1T cycles since starting this thread. I'm still on the fence about using AAS again and haven't competed in almost three years. I'll guarantee that I'll be much thicker than this when I compete in 2005.

Its all up to you- you have to take a lot of factors into consideration- who your competition is, what are your goals, etc.
You havea a great base to build on.

nice bro, lookin real good

I'd like to do a state level NPC show Spring/Summer of 2005. I'm leaning more towards the Summer. I'm not getting any younger. I'll be 37 in December. I have six show's under my belt with my highest placing being 3rd in the Middleweight class.

I know the competition is a lot tougher in the NPC vs the Natty sanctions.

My short term goal is to win my weight class. Long term would be to win an Overall and qualify for Nationals.

looking ripped bro!!!

I know.. I am 38 getting ready to be 39 in a few months. It is very much a learning lesson when competing. Our bodies take a little more time to adjust to changes and gaining mass in the quantity that we used to get when we were younger is difficult- but hell I am willing to give it a try if Coleman was able to put on 20lbs of muscle from last year :-)
