Looking for opinion on keeping specific routine or changing

[Cleaner13]

Hey guys

A few months ago I was on the diet forum to try and change of diet, and to compliment it SwoleCat gave me a guideline for working out

His idea was the following


Large Body Parts get 7-8 sets total
Small body parts get 4-5 sets total
Small body parts get 6-8 reps total per set
Legs get 12-15 total per set

Only do a single muscle per day

Prior to this I was doing like 2 body parts per day, about the same amount of reps, and roughly 1/3 more sets, but the main difference was 2 body parts

I never gained on it(think I overworked everything) so after I got the suggestion from swole I switched over to his idea and have been happy ever since, I make alot more gains, my workouts are done sooner due to half the body parts compared to last workouts

My question is this though, Im probably gonna beging a cycle of Test-E at about 500mg total a week, 2 shots of 250 on separate days

Should I continue with how my workout is or should add more sets in since I will have AS in my blood, and theoretically be able to recover and take more...?

thanks alot guys

PS not sure if ur gonna need this but here it is

Are you trying to pack on mass right now?

[Cleaner13]

I would say Im looking for mass overall

if I had to explain exactly what Im looking to do for my goals it would be the following

I want my chest arms and legs bigger

I want more strength in my back (mainly for deadlifts) and shoulders along with definition

I know that sounds stupid as the Test only goes one way so maybe I will get some added strength along with mass

I like the one body part per workout idea and have done that for quite awhile but I also do 2 parts like if I am supersetting opposite muscles. IMO the problem is many wish to gain tons of mass and definition but you must have one or the other. Sure alot of good guys can eat alot and train heavy with juice and gain 30lbs in 12wks. But is there any true definition? I say no. Personally, my definition comes from years of training achieving muscle growth much slowly than the average guy. You could say its mature muscle. The cutting phase you can get some definition while hopefully minimizing mass reduction. Having said all that mumbo-jumbo I got that way mostly with higher volume training vs. very low reps/set/heavy. But I also incorporate that too. What may work for myself does not mean it will for you and this is where experimentation comes into play. Good luck.

For large body parts I would aim for around 12-15 sets and small around 9. I would reduce the rep range too and lift heavier and aim for 4-6 on lifts.
