    Thumbs up please chack my training before i begin my first ever cycle

    stats:
    age-24
    height- 6'
    weight- 82-83kg
    bodyfat- 12-14 %
    training- sereously for 3 years

    okay so going to be starting my first cycle of propionate @100mg eod and anavar @ 50mg ed for an 8 week cycle, possibly 10 and have sorted my diet out and now need to know a few bits about my training. i will be doing a 5 day split:

    monday: 4 chest exercises & 3 tricep exercises (3 sets)
    tuesday: 4-5 back exercises & 3 bicep exercises (3sets)
    wednesday: 4 shoulder exercises & 3 traps exercises (3sets)
    thursday: 4-5 leg exercises (3sets)
    friday: 3 bicep,3 tricep & 2 forearm exercises (3sets)

    each workout lasts no longer than 1 and half hours, also eod i am including abs, the reason for doing arms twice is i feel they are lacking size and need most work. as for cardio im not a big fan of long runs so i have decided to try doing a 10 minute very high intensity run after each workout to loose b,f, my questions are from what you can see would i be overtraining and will doing cardio after each workout lower muscle gains alot ?? my goals is to add good lean muscle size and keep off the fat and water. ideas and opinions please guys

    cheers

    I think your training for to long and your training split isnt a good one IMHO. Your arms aren't going to grow because they are being worked constantly. Why don't you just go with a basic one bodypart per day but train it hard and intense for around 45mins.

    that is the exact split that I am currently following, except that I do calves on chest day and abs tues, and fri.. looks good. lift in multiple rep ranges also, like power:3-6, hypertrophy: 8-12, and endurance: 12-15+ too. switch it up every 4-6 weeks or so

    swweeet, yea well my main goal is to add muscle mass so i tend to keep the reps between 8-12 ish but on some exercises go for around the 6 rep mark.
    cheers so far. any other 5 day splits that people use that seem good ??

    Yes thats looks alot better but put legs on Weds and delts on Thur so your upper half gets another day to recover.

    I split arms also, Tricep one day, bicep the next. I do a typical push one day, pull the next and it has worked good for me the last year+
