Trying something new in a prep

[Mobster]

Taken from a comment by Monstro about trying something he'd not used before in his next competition prep.

My recommendation would be to NEVER do so - especially towards the end of a prep... maybe at the beginning. How many times have we seen top professionals claim to get sick in the last few days (inc Mr Olympias) of a prep.

I'd wanna know well in advance whether or not I handle the 'new' PED well far ahead of time.

At best if you've used something similar then MAYBE you MIGHT be ok. But for me I'd rather not risk it - esp ion light of all the work, diet and training I'd done (often 16 weeks for a BodyBuilding comp) and f**k it up close to the event

 

[stevesmi]

i would say yes to your thinking

i usually tell clients who plan on competing a year out to do trial runs on gear ahead of time to see what you like and don't like. your body might like winstrol better than masteron for example

 

[Fella Finn]

I very much agree with you

Yea dont make much sense to blow all that hard work at the last min. How much diff can it really make that tight to show. If you did it right you shouldnt need to experiment at the end. I am wit you Mobster know the effect in advance or dont use it. Look at all the dudes that cant handle the insulin or lasix and screw it all up right at time of show. prep right and dont worry about the dumb stuff....

Yea I don't suggest trying anything new towards end of the competition prep, always stick to what works

 

[MONSTRO]

Mobster why not try something new? I did shows where I tried new things, have you?

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

I dont like new things

 

[2Thick]

bros new things deliver new results

 

[ROIDDERS]

as long as you test them before hand

 

[chesty]

be careful with trying new things you can fail the prep

but you are experienced enough where it won't matter if it doesn't end well. you can make up the difference with your genetics too

a newbie competitor might have an issue

but yeah mobster called your ass out for something lol. i smell a beef starting between you two

bro always use tren, that my contest plan

 

[Quadsweep]

if you are just having fun then why not try something different

 

[PrinceDaddy]

If you can be in contest condition earlier, you can try some things. I have not done Anadrol to fill out but have heard it being used. You have to experiment if you have time. If you are ahead of the show, you have some opportunity, if you are chasing it you go with what you know.

No. NEVER. Like I said why risk all that time you put in trying a new drug? And getting sick and bloated and losing? Same with food. Training -yes.

Of course ALL my first goes with the drugs I used was new - but never at the risk of losing

This - yes. And Monstro is kinda lean year round so...
