    I'm in week 8 of my first cyle (test e) and i train to where i feel i'm worked sufficiently, but not overtrained... it just comes with experince... My workout durations depend on the muscle being trained and how i feel... I take 2-3 minutes between sets while bulking and pick up the pace when trying to cut... When cutting most workouts drop about 20-40 min... You will definately notice major strength gains somewhere around week 6 (give or take a week) and you'll feel energized for longer, but again you don't want to overtrain

    Arms 45-60 min
    Back (2x per week) 80-105min
    Chest 70-90min
    Legs 120-150min
    Shoulders 70-90min

    2 hours for legs?? Over an hour for chest? An hour and a half for delts? Your intensity level must be moderate at best. That is WAY too long IMHO.

    My legs do not get torn down easily, especially quads! They are by far my dominant muscle group... But you're right, between sets I rest a long time while bulking... It's not the intensity that's moderate either, it's the pace... There is a difference imo...

    I'm not looking for the aeorbic effect at all while bulking (I get that from 5-6x per wk cardio) It feels like there is a better synergism for me when I take exceedingly long amounts of rest time betweem sets and so far it's working great, so you can knock it, that's your opinion...

    It just seems to work the best for me... I mix up the exercises to get a different shock once I feel like I'm getting used to a routine and once I switch to cutting, most workouts are under an hour (except legs,1.25-1.5hr) due to increased pace...

    The the Back (thickness) and delt workouts both include traps and delts also includes a couple different things for neck strengthening...
