    I was wondering if you can recommend a MPD contest prep cutting cycle leading all the way till show day. I'm 5'9" 185lbs 14%bf. I have a couple of cycles under my belt all bulking cycles around 10-12 weeks long and consisting of test, deca, dbol/tbol. I've never done a cutting cycle and I'm fairly new to competing. I've been told to cut the test out 2 weeks out and others tell me to keep it in all the way till show day. Any cycle recommendations would help. Thanks!!!

    How you cycle is going to depend on how you look. Overall, for MP, you don't want to come in too hard or vascular. They are starting to lean toward bigger guys, which I think is a move in the right direction, but you don't want to run boat loads of gear and push size too far. Whatever you end up using, you want to look close to being natural. You want to have a good build but a build that looks attainable naturally. It sounds like you aren't going to be too big, based off your stats, so you have a little more room. As for test, and when to cut it out, a lot is going to depend on how you look. There is no single answer. If you are lean at the end, yet still holding fluid and looking soft, then yes, you may want to reduce or remove test. If you look ready at 2 wks out, there is no reason to change anything. 

    Here is an example of a cycle that could work for your needs. I would give yourself 16 wks and plan to be ready about 3-4 wks out. Wk 16 is the first wk of your diet, counting down to wk 1, the wk of your show. Keep in mind that this is a templete and not to be written in stone. Adjustments may need to be made to doses along the way. More or less adex as needed. Less test, if needed at the end. I would also consider using clen through the 16 wk diet

    wk 16-7

    Sust 250 500mg EW

    EQ 400mg EW

    .5mg adex EOD

    wk 6-1

    Prop 100mg EOD

    Masteron 100mg EOD

    .5mg adex ED
