Advice for workout routine while on 1st cycle of Test E!!

[mingotron]

Hey guys, just wonderin' on what your thoughts are on this workout routine for maximizing strength and building size. Some say lower the reps and up the weight but a lot of people say bump the reps up and lower the number of sets to get as much blood flow to the muscles as possible to maximize the growth. Curious as to see what you guys think about the rep ranges and number of sets and whether to take certain exercises out etc. Thanks.

I might take out a few exercises and combine the chest and shoulders day and throw in triceps, as well as combine the back and bi's, and keep a leg day on its own. What are your guys' thoughts? Taking any advice I can get. Thanks.
P.S I've got small legs compared to my upper body.. and really want to build size, any exercises that would help?

Training split looks fine, except there shouldn't be any steroids involved. You're only 19..

Agree. Give it time, your natural testosterone level is peaked right now. Don't F with it Ming, the risk is not worth the reward.

X3... listen to these guys there are very smart on this stuff.

there are three subtypes of type 2 muscle fiber; A, B, and C. Each responds best (growth signal) when reps fail at 15, 10 and 5 respectively. Assume BB and not PL. This is a guide, not a set rule. Everyone responds a little differently. But it's a fairly decent guideline.
