i dont think you are going to find a consist answer to this question- everyones body responds differently.. you have to listen to what its telling you- if your hungry- feed it, if its tired- rest it, other than that train hard and grow.
everyones different, do what your body responds to...if you dont know what you respond to then you havent been training long enough...Quote:

I agree, I am currently on qv deca 300 and T400 denkall. no mass cycle is complete without a test of somekind. I just started this new workout,
Bench 12-14 sets
Incline 12-14 sets
dumbell incline 6 sets
flat bench 6 sets
some might say its insane, but anything schwarzenegger tries i'll try.
way to many sets for me...i hope it works for you....sounds like overtrainingQuote:

Monday Chest-tri
Tuesday Legs
Wed Shoulders
thursday rest
Friday Back-bi's
Sat alt legs or shoulders
Sunday rest
I also do 45 minutes of cardio 5 days a week... (but I am trying to lower my BF, if you are bulking I wouldn't recommend doing that much cardio)
A very basic Powerlifting routine consisting of deadlifts for back, flat bench for chest and squats for legs... military press for shoulders..... everything else are assistance excersises, but for mass you want to use compound movements with heavy weights and train each part once a week...
i train every muscle group once every five days. i hit tris up more often though. they seem to grow for me more when i work them a few times a week.
