I never prepared for a contest, but would think that a good Anti-E(Liquidex, Proviron/Nolvadex) would be good to help keep any possible water off from Eq/Prop. I am not fond of T3, made me feel like complete crap, affected my workouts and could feel my muscles get "flat." If I did it again, would keep the dosages low i.e. 12.5 - 37.5 daily.
