    Quick Question

    Finished my 12 week cycle of test E, waiting another 10 days before I begin PCT. At what point in time do I start training with less volume? I was doing 5x a week split 6-7 workouts for 3-4 sets, I am going to do a 4x split chest/tri back/bi shoulders/traps legs 3-4 sets and 3 workouts each body part. Sound like a good plan? Just not sure when to bring the volume down I'm guessing when I start my pct...? Thanks!

    What do you mean? The amount of time you spend in the gym or lowering your weights? Why would you change anything? You might lose some strength but you'll know when that happens.

    Basically I did 6-7 workouts for each muscle group so for example my back day went like this:
    Deadlift 145x10 225x10 275x8 315x3
    Pullups 10/10/10/10
    Lat Pulldowns 4 sets
    The exercise where you put your knee on a flat bench and raise up the dumbell to work your back 4 sets
    Rear Delt 3-4 sets + drop set
    Tbar Row 4 sets

    I feel these types of workouts will be too much for me while recovering and off, and it would be better to bunch in body parts such as back/bicep and maybe do Deadlift x4 sets, 2-3 other back exercises then 2-3 bicep exercises... I feel like doing 6-7 would be too much off of gear? Also wondering when do I stop with all the volume, before pct or during? So I think what I am saying is the time I spend being less sorry for not being very clear!!

    And this is kind of off topic but I lowered my arimidex doses and libido is right back !! Seems like 0.5 eod is too much for me. So I came to the conclusion that my estrogen levels were probably too low

    I thought you should increase your workout when you get off cycle

    Less volume is a bad idea and a good way to lose your gains.

    I personally think your doing too much anyway

    Pic 3-4 exercises for that group do a warm up set then smash it to failure around 6-8 reps max
    Drop the weight a little do it to failure
    No need for loads of reps and sets
    You want to tare them fibres up
    Go heavy and hard
