help me plan the next 5 months

[WeirdAl]

Holy crap, my first contest is 25 weeks from today. I need to plan this time out right away. I'll be starting my first cycle in the next 3 days:
600mg cyp weeks 1-2
400mg cyp weeks 3-11
400mg deca weeks 1-10

I'd planned on this being a bulker through the entire ~12 weeks, but I was thinking I had more time. I'd also planned on cutting starting at 20 weeks out from my competition. Obviously these two things conflict since I'm 25 weeks out. So, I need help on what to do.

I'm currently at 205 lbs and guessing 15% body fat. You can judge for yourself from my pics: http://board1.mantisforums.com/upload/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9339

I don't feel like I have enough muscle to make a good showing on the stage right now, and want to make good use of my first cycle. I also don't have time for two full cycles, unless I do 8 weeks on, 8 weeks off, 8 weeks on. My next cycle will probably be prop, and possibly winstrol (trying to do this legally).

I'm really at a loss here, and need some serious help from you guys. How long to I bulk for? Do I keep with the 11 weeks, and if so, what should my next cycle be like?

well

i have read and read your post since you put it up and im at a loss
first you never have used juice before? if thats the case i wont recomend a 25 week cycle!!!! im just too worried about your health. here is a thought though week blast 3 week low dose then 4 week blast the 3 low dose! then we can work on a pri contest stack

No prior cycles, but I was on 200mg of cyp every other week for 8 weeks ending about 4 weeks ago for low test levels. My body did well with that, at least about as well as it did when I was natural and I'm assuming when my natural levels were "normal".

I looked at the previous thread

you have made great progress. from 193 to 200something.
1. Anyway you can get a tankita bioresistance bf scale for about $90? I have one and it is within .1% of my wife's $3000 bf scale device she uses on clients.
2. If you want to come in at say 215-220 at 6% bf a lot of things will have to go right between now and the show. Since this is critical--have you considered using slin like the article in documents suggests. I am "off" now and and always have a hard time keeping weight, I tried 10iu of slin broken up in 5iu shots and put back 7b lbs in 10 days. kept same bf too.
3. I'm sure the mods and vets have quite a few suggestions.
4. The disadvantage is no previous cycles to know hiow your body will recover when "off"
5 Advantage is that you have a great base on which to build
6. opps nearly forgot to suggest synth in arms(bi's tri's)

I don't think that in 25 weeks you'll put on enough weight to bring you in at 215/5%. I'd hit 8 more weeks of bulking, then spend the rest of the time dieting. I might be wrong, but I'd say that you would come in ripped around the 285 mark. That'll also put you in a weight class where the guys tend to be a little smaller, especially in the back department than you are now. As hard is this may seem to say/hear, since you only have 25 weeks left, you really should not be worrying about size. It's conditioning from strict dieting and steady training that will place you highest IMO. That's my .02 Oh, then after you're done with the show, spend the next 2 cycles BULKING like a mofo! You'll then have a nice lean base to start from and be in a better position for going against some bigger guys next year.
