    Push it to the limit

    bros just curious,

    im bout to start my first cycle : TEST ONLY 10 weeks

    i know i have to push myself alot more but how much is too much? Is 2 hours in the gym too long? and how many sets are too much? in example Flat Benching and Inclined Benching 5 sets too much?

    my current workout is
    Chest 4 excersises/Triceps 3-4 exercises
    biceps/back (same # of exercizes)
    off wed.
    Legs 4-5 exercises
    Shoulders 4-5 exercises

    any advice on what i can do to really push myself and increase my strength while im on this cycle would be appreciated.

    20 sets for larger sounds good. Vary your workouts and throw in some pumping style (high rep, high volume, many sets, 45 secs. rest between sets).

    The best thing you can do is eat like crazy and get lots of sleep. Two hours of wieghts is a bit excessive you only want about 15 total sets for smaller muscle groups like chest or shoulder. MD is right on when it comes to the larger groups such as the legs.

    Listen to your body if you start to fell overly tired, or stop making gains then back down your training. Every body's body is different so do whats right for you.
