    Question Will HST work with 1st AAS cycle?

    I am still in the research/planning phase before my 1st AAS cycle, so i would like if a workout like the below will work or not to get the benefits from the 1st AAS cycle?

    I will workout using the following reps/sets ranges:

    Day 1: 12 reps x 1 set (maximum possible weight)
    Day 3: 8 reps x 2 sets (maximum possible weight)
    Day 5: 4 reps x 3 sets (maximum possible weight)

    Notes:

    - Days 2,4,6,7 are resting days, might do 45 minutes Cardio 2 days of the rest days.
    - I will spend good time warming-up before sets.
    - Resting well between sets to not over-train and to not stress the Central Nervous System.

    Workout days:
    Full body workout, performed like this; 1 day training followed by one day resting , Max 3 Workouts per week.

    Number of Exercises:
    I guess i have a fast recovery so i will be doing 11 exercises and see how things will go.

    Selected Exercises for this HST cycle:

    Quads
    1- Squat

    Hamstrings
    1- Stiff Legged Deadlift

    Chest
    1- Incline Bench Press
    2- Dips

    Shoulders
    1- Military Press
    2- Lateral Raises

    Lats
    1- Bent Rows
    2- Pulldowns

    Arms
    1- Preacher Curls
    2- Tricep Extensions (ONE HAND)

    Calves
    1- Calf Press

    Exercises can be changed, but i will keep the above exercises the same at least for the 1st 4 Weeks.

    If you see that i am doing it wrong especially when i will be doing my 1st AAS cycle, please share your comments here.

    Thanks

    I would keep it simple! Do 6-12 sets per body part once a week or 3-6 sets twice a week. No value in getting caught up in various rep-ranges.

    Just a thought; would you advise swimming on the rest days while on AAS cycle?
