    I want to gain muscle and size. Im already shredded. No need to loss weight either. I change my training every month and my last one was 2 sets of 4-6 reps. But now I just started my first cycle and I want to optimize it to the max.

    prodomintally strenght based then!?

    I would build on the weight you have gained from the strength with and work the reps to gain size

    eg

    dumbel press 50kg's x 4-6 reps

    on cycle work 50kg's x 8-12 reps to gain the size using the strength base you have already gained

    Mon:Chest/Triceps(+calves)
    2 mins jumping rope(warm up)
    Flat Bench 5x5, last set to failure, 5x5's is what we are going to start with for most of your lifts during this "Size & Strength" program, I do two progressive warm up sets here so 135lbsx5, 225lbsx5, then 275lbsx5x5, on my last set of the 5 go to failure, if you can get 8 or more reps then go up in weight next week.
    Incline Bench 5x5, last set to failure
    Cable Cross overs 3x11(low - about the belly-button for the end position to focus on the lower chest, plus stretch the whole chest)
    Dips 5x5, last set to failure
    Skull Crushers 5x5, last set to failure(superset these with 5x25's of toe-presses for calves, the calves need to be hit twice a week, this is a good time to hit them)
    Tue:Back/Biceps
    Jump Rope for Warm-Up, two minutes is good
    Dead-Lift (do this first while you are fresh)
    Pull-ups 5x5, again last set to failure
    Seated Rows 5x5, last set to failure
    lat pulldowns with v-grip attachement, go heavy and bring them low while keeping your shoulders back and your chest high, go heavy with 5x5's here
    Barbell Curls 5x5
    Wed: Off
    Thu: Legs
    2 minutes jumping rope
    Squats 5x5, last set to failure
    Stiff Legged Dead-Lifts 5x5, last set to failure
    Toe Presses 5x11, last set to failure
    Fri: Shoulders/Arms
    2 minutes jumping rope
    Barbell Shrugs 5x5, last set to failure
    Military Press 5x5, last set to failure
    Upright Row 5x5, last set to failure
    Superset all arm exercises
    bench dips w/bodyweight 5xfailure supersetted with Hammer Curls 5x11, last set to failure
    triceps rope pushdowns 5x11, last set to failure, supersetted with dumbbell preacher curls 5x11, last set to failure.

    This 5x5 program should fit you nicely, you perform your final set to failure every time, the rule is that if you can get your last set over 8 reps then you need to go up on weight the next time you perform that exercise. Obviously how much heavier you should go depends on how many over 5 you get on your failure set.

    Wowww thanks it's really appreciated! I will do this training for sure but for how long? Normally I change my training every month, do I need to change it while i'm on cycle?

    If you log your training sessions here on this thread, with the amount of weight you use and how many reps you get on your last set then I'll be able to tell you how to modify the program at the end of may.
