    4th cycle and 182lbs yikes. Something's not right here. How old are you?

    I think you're lifting too light and should do less reps more weight. Also diet needs work probably if you are only 182lbs at this point.

    I'm implementing Ronnie's Slingshot training system with pretty good results. The basic theory is to deload for 2 weeks with lighter weights and more reps, allowing the body's receptors to reset. During the reset 2 weeks, drop the protein by 50% and up the carbs so you'll have enough energy to do the reps. Then reload for 8 weeks with higher weights and lower reps. Increase the protein to 1.5g to 2g per lean body weight and lower the carbs. i used to do 100 reps on 100lb dumbbells over a number of sets with very little rest. I thought i was working hard, which I was, but I was at a plateau. By switching up my diet/training I was able to get past the plateau and keep growing. The Slingshot Training System

    Layout your cycle properly e.g.

    Weeks 1-12 test e 400mg pw
    Weeks 1-12 tren e 200mg pw
    Weeks 1-4 anadrol 50 mg per day

    As requested detail your hcg and planned pct protocol.

    I'd like to know your age too and see a pic of your current physique.

    Can't imagine doing that much work in the gym, overkill imo.

I've not been Bulking just trying to keep lean, it's just the last year I've been trying to gain weight and I've put on about 2 stone, last cycle was 1 year ago aswell, I've always had a clean diet but always been trying to stay the same weight for the boxing until last year lol

    That's quite a bit of gear for a little guy.

    My two cents on your training program, you are doing too many exercises and too many sets, and you are turning it into a half endurance/half muscle building type routine. Choose one exercise per movement instead. Learn to train at the highest intensity possible, not trying to pace yourself to get through all the sets. For example on chest day:

    Bench press 2-3 sets
    Incline dumbbell press 2-3 sets
    and maybe some cable crossover at the end, 2-3 sets

    for shoulders, one press exercise, one side raise exercise and one rear delt is enough. For back, one pullup type (vertical pull) and one row type (horizontal row) and optional shrug movement is enough. Biceps and triceps will do fine with one exercise, all the chest and shoulder presses do a lot for triceps and pulls and rows for the biceps...

    You should look to do more weight or more reps every workout -- beating your old self -- and when you stagnate, switch up the exercises e.g. dumbbell bench first and incline barbell second.

    The point of higher intensity is to give your body the type of stimuli which elicits a response to grow, to prepare itself for next time by being bigger and stronger. Doing a marathon with a predetermined number of reps and sets with a set weight does not do this, it just tells the body stay where you are because you will be able to handle the next workout - it will be the same thing over and over.

    Also two deadlifts on two separate occasions in the same week is not a good idea, if its possible then your intensity is not high enough, even more so if you squat the same week too. Do it once per week - you can even get away with doing it every other week with squats alternating (I do this now because I get burned out after a while doing both the same week).

    4000-5000 clean calories a day and weigh 182 and you aren't bulking? I'm with everyone else in saying too much at the gym.

    Well bro you are 6' 180 you are build like a runner so something isn't right with your program and doing a cycle like this isn't going to fix it.
