WOAH please step away from the bottle. It isn't going to do you a bit of good if your diet and training are not 100% If it was a magic pill, everybody would be doing it. AAS will HELP get you through sticking points, but it will NOT do the work for you . It is not a magic diet pill.

Also you wouldn't want to run that alone. you would want some type of test with it.

Are you planning on working out again? what does your eating habits look like now?

there is a great diet forum that can help get you back on track but for now I wouldn't think about using any AAS yet.

I understand your frustration, but your health comes first. Muscle does have memory, so if you train correctly and heavy and high intensity, you should get back to where you were in two months or less depending on YOU!!

I honestly would not even consider doing a cycle UNTIL you got back to your peak naturally. Take that time to research on here and check ALL the forums so that your diet is inline, training is inline by the time you are ready to do a cycle.

Then we can come back to helping you with a good beginner cycle if you will consider our advice

Hope this helps

OK, how many days do you want to work out a week, and I will try to give you a sample break down

**dv8one4fun** · 05-25-2006, 08:36 PM

4 or 5 days a week

**SMAN12b** · 05-25-2006, 08:42 PM

OK great, give me a little while here to type it all out. check back

**dv8one4fun** · 05-25-2006, 08:43 PM

not a problem

**SMAN12b** · 05-25-2006, 09:15 PM

OK, Here is my 4 day split. Keep in mind it is always best to work from the Larger muscle group to the smaller each session:

Day 1 LEGS, LEGS, LEGS
Day 2 Chest- Triceps
Day 3 Shoulders-Biceps
Day 4 Back-Abs-Calves

My split right now , I am doing calves after 3 of the 4 workouts to try and shock them into growth as I was not blessed with the genetics for them
But my abs were blessed, so I only do those one day a week right now.

Hope this helps.
Following is a basic workout THEORY to help you get back on track.

BASICS OF BODYBUILDING
AS INSTRUCTED TO ME PERSONALLY BY A FORMER PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDER,
PRESENTED HERE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION BY:

SMAN12B

Muscle Physiology:

Anaerobic Exercise vs Aerobic Exercise

Fuel source burned during weight training = SUGAR (From all Carb Foods)
Fuel source burned during cardio training = FAT (Dietary or stored body fat)

Muscles use as fuel: 1st = Blood Sugar
2nd= Stored Sugars (Glycogen)
3rd= Protein & fat (Catabolic State)

Muscle Fibers used in:

Weight Training= Mostly Fast Twitch Muscle Fibers

Aerobic Training= Mostly Slow Twitch Muscle Fibers

2 Kinds of Fast Twitch Muscle Fibers:
2A- These fibers can expect growth of only 25% greater.
2B- These fibers can expect growth of 100%

GOAL OF BODYBUILDERS IS TO TRAIN TO HIT THE “2B” MUSCLE FIBER
All weight training uses the “2A” fibers FIRST, but they have limited growth potential!
“2B’s” are more stubborn and only come into play in response to TENSION. When tension on the muscle is greatest, THEN and only then do the “2B’s kick in!!!

WORKING 2A FIBERS OVER AND OVER NEVER RECRUIT THE 2B’S
If you hit the 2B’s, you will ALWAYS use the 2A’s first!!
MORE WEIGHT=MORE MUSCLE RECRUITMENT

SO, what determines Total Muscle Recruitment??
HEAVY WEIGHT IN THE 6-12 REP RANGE WITH PROPER FORM

REP RANGES: Less than 6 reps = Increase in strentgth but not muscle size.
From 6-12 reps = Increase in strength AND size.
More than 12 reps = Improves muscle endurance NOT size.

Too many reps produces too much LACTIC ACID which breaks down GLYCOGEN (muscle fuel) and the ACID build-up prevents total muscle contraction!

# OF SETS TO DO FOR BODY PARTS(Just a guideline)

CHEST= 9- 11
BACK= 9-14
QUADS= 9-12
HAMS= 4-6
CALVES= 4-6
BI’S = 6-8
TRI’S = 6-8

In REAL life, More sets are better, HOWEVER do NOT let the INTENSITY fall!!
Meaning, all sets have to be HEAVY in the 6-12 rep range and taken to failure
Failure = last two reps should be extremely hard or require some assist to complete.

NO LIGHT SETS!! Except your warm up sets.
