I like a good debate, that's why you may see me start some out of the box threads from time to time. Hey they get people talking lol thanks I really appreciate your input :-)

Too many weird smiley faces in this thread OP.

Need to relax with them.

As for your routine, I'd personally change it.

Sorry you don't like my smiling faces :-) but I guess if you are going to read my threads your going to have to get used to them ;-)

You don't know what my routine entails, I am happy with my routine, thanks for chiming in tho ;-)

There is one reason i like to take a little time off from time to time is to just let my tendons have a break (no pun intended). The older you get, the more fragile they become, and sometimes a healing rest is a good thing. I may redact this comment later on if this TB500 proves itself to me.

At the moment im bulking, on my 4th week of sustonon, I plan to continue bulking until my cycle finishes (so another 8 week's plus pct) then I plan to cut, where my aim will be to get to 6 to 7% bf

I am happy with my training.

As opposed to switching to cutting mid cycle? I'm a newb myself, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you might want to do more research on diet and training before you start messing with aas.

Thats ridiculous.

Not nearly enough time to make any drastic changes.

What are you talking about? The guy asked me what my target was in regards to gains long term. I explained my plan of action. I don't understand what you are getting at? Admittedly you are a noob so I will dismiss your uneducated opinion.

Admittedly you are a noob as well, so using your logic that would also make you "uneducated." Which from your posts thus far would prove to be am accurate statement. I will waste no more time on your posts.

Im not a noob to training I've been training on and off for 14 years. When I was a teenager I was very fat 17 stone (obese) I got down from 17 stone to 12 in the space of a year, I've been all different shapes and sizes since, I've been big to where I am now. I am very experience when it come to training. On the subject of steroids on the other hand no I am a noob.

You know I never comment on something I know nothing about!

Then why not do them? Are you only going against what your DR says onthe workouts you want to do? Deadlifts are a crucial exercise, much more so than military press. I have scoliosis, arthritis in every joint of my body, bone to bone on T8-T12 vertebrae, degenaration, rheumatism, etc. but have found that exercise helps the pain much more so than not exercising the affected area. Go light and work up. A good DR will tell you that the pain areas are good to work out, especially at a young age. If you are not activating the joints or the tissue around them, you get worse and worse. That is why you see 50+ year old people with backs that wont straighten and they are hunched over and in wrenching pain. They have had "old-timer" DRs telling them to take it easy on the affected area and they are crippled for it. I would rather be dead than to be like that. I refuse to let my body break down due to inactivity. Just try it. My wife is a physical therapist, and they are in the business of rehabing people who suffer from injury. If they break their back, rehab is not on the shoulder, or the foot.

I have pulled my lower back about 4 times doing dead lifts. On my lower back I'm missing a bone that helps my vertebrates interlock therefore pulling my side.. I'm at this point where it's taken 2 months for the pain to go away.. That's seeing my chiropractor and my pain specialist..

I just dont understand why most of the members responding to this thread are touting that there must be heavy weights used and longer rest periods.

As if that is the end all be all of gaining muscle.

Hmmm.

Taking the muscle to failure by use of resistance, in any way possible... is what causes muscle growth.
Especially when the hormones and food are properly part of that equation.

Whether that is doing 40 reps till failure.

Or 4.

As for rest periods....

That also doesnt matter.

When you feel ready... then lift that fukking weight.

Well explained!!
