    Critique needed Please.

    Afternoon fellas, new guy on the boards here.
    A little background on me and my plan.
    6'1" 200lb, played football and baseball in college, starting to get back into the lifting routine. ive been lifting for around a year again, just makeing sure I have good form and make every set count.
    Im planning on starting a bulking phase within the next few weeks.
    I have testerona 4L-A, I know it may not be the best, but It's whats readily available whenever I want. Im planning on 250mg first week, then 500mg throughout the phase, then back to 250mg the last week, I have 3-10ml bottles for now. My diet is pretty solid, 6 small-medium sized meals all including good carbs and alot of protein, i got over 250g a day of protein.

    I want to do a 2 day split, upper/lowerbody, heavy/medium weight
    Ample warmup and stretch is included!!

    Flat bench: pyramid (10-8-6-4-2)
    Incline bench: 4 x 6-8

    I like your sets and reps, but I would change up your split..too many muscle groups at once, your gonna be fatigued when you get to your second, and especially 3rd, major muscle group. I would change it to a 3-day split..possibly something like this:

    Monday/Thursday: chest&tri's
    Tuesday/Friday: back & bi's
    Wednesday/Saturday: Shoulders & Legs

    I usually do 15-20 sets for my big muscle groups (chest/back/quads), and 10-15 sets for smaller muscles (bi's/tri's, etc...).

    Good luck man, let us know how the cycle goes.

    ya he's right, your gonna need to throw in an extra day to evenly space out your muscle groups.dont ramp your dosages on your sustanon cycle, keep your blood levels constant by running 500 mg the whole way through. split up your shots somehow so you can take them EOD, as sustanon has prop in it bro. careful on the 4l-a from loeffler as it is highly faked as well.

    Thanks for the reply's guys. Ill probably take your advice and do the 6 days a week. The loeffler stuff i got was boxed and sealed with a no-tampering tag. Since I got it through a close friend, I trust its the real stuff, if not, I guess we will have some issues

    Keep the advice coming!

    If I workout 1 bodypart per day, intense enough, say 5 sets of pyrimda for major muscles, maybe 4 sets for smaller, is that enough to grow? 7 days rest seems like alot, but I dont want to overtrain, and I hear alot about the law of diminishing returns.

    Works for some people, and doesn't work for others. I've done it before, but personally I feel like a week in between training each muscle is too long, I like doing everything twice a week.
