Alright, here goes...
I took the latter part of this summer almost completely OFF from bodybuilding. I didn't hardly touch a weight for about a month (a month and a half now) and just did some light cardio, mostly running, a few times/week. Due to my work schedule (man, I made some crazy money), and the fact that I wasn't going to compete 'til next summer, I decided it was time for a break. I put on a little fat, lost a little muscle, but all in all, I'm very content with my physical shape. The only comments I've gotten have been from other competitors, and they're along the lines of "You look a little thinner." So, why am I telling you all this? Because...
I've been stockpiling gear all summer, planning to go "on" for most--if not all--of the school year, and running into a pre-contest cycle next summer. I am aiming to compete in the NPC, hopefully a show in Houston that many of my friends/family can attend. BUT...
My girlfriend's sorority has a 5K fun run every year about this time. It is "about" (I say, "about" because I don't know the exact date yet, but it's in October) a month away. Now, I'm going to start back at the gym on Monday, probably lifting weights 2-3 times/week, and running almost every day, except on leg day (probably walking the day after, too).
Most of you might think it's nuts for an aspiring bodybuilder to put size and strength on hold for a little road race, but for me, it's a mental thing. Can I still run that 3.2 miles in a decent time. My goal is to finish in under 23 minutes, which was around my best time ever in a 5K when I was running to lose weight in high school, before attending my first NPC show and the rest is history, as they say...
So, my questions are...
1)I need to lean out. I'm going to run some clen/ECA, with some T3--never going over 50 mcg/day, since I've heard higher can lead to lethargy, and maybe some Yohimbine HCL topically. To get the maximum benefits, but to not affect my run time, how long before the race (if I should) should I stop any or all of these products...(I will be using an ECA stack or the like before race time, along with a carbohydrate drink, maybe even something like Ultimate Orange).
2)I have about 30 tabs of winny, at 50 mg/tab. Do you think it would be beneficial to use these...I also have some fina, do you think 75 mg eod would be beneficial? As both don't make you hold much water...?
3)I am thinking of running clomid/nolvadex at low doses for the next month, along with the gear, to keep water retention down to a BARE minimum...Good idea?
4)Would proviron (as I have NO experience with this drug) be something to add?
5)Anything else you can think of...
I know how to train for a 5K, but I have no idea how to "supplement" for it, as in those days, all I drank was Gatorade and water.
Thanks in advance for ANY advice/information you could give me.
