Never heard of this but I've never competed either....what would be the reason?

The reason for dropping cycles before a show is to avoid holding water. Since you chose a short ester test you should be fine depending on your conditioning, I've talked to many that run prop up until a show.

Plus the tren and winny will harden you up...and mast is wonderful too. In my personal opinion I think you'll be fine, but I'm sure more guys will chime in

should i or can i increase winy dosage for last week?

currently on 50mged can do 70mg ed for 7 days.....

Considering all the other stuff you're on, what's the point? You're getting more than enough, in my opinion I don't see the need for it...it all depends on your conditioning though

Switch to prop and mast and you can inject the day of the show.

He's already on prop chief.

I could see maybe dropping the test since even prop can make some hold water, but the other stuff all helps you shed water so can't understand why you would stop them. But I don't comp either.

No, the reason why people say to do that is because you can still hold oils in the muscle bellies. Some people drop them 2 weeks out.
Most people tho just drop the injects, and use orals and ancillaries the week of the show.

it is more of a precaution as well, because if you have a bad injection you are literally screwed if the swelling doesn't go down etc

I think the best thing to do is to reduce your dosage of the test. Water retention is more dictated by dosage than by the ester.

I'm in contest prep now (7 weeks out) and have been running test E at 500mg per week. I am reducing to 350mg starting this week and will probably make my last injection due to the long ester about 10 days before the show to reduce water even further without sacrificing any size.

With Test Prop you could probably just reduce the dosage of the test to 75-100mg EOD and run all the way up to the show.
