Bulking Cycle routine (please critique)

[wormwood]

Gear=500mg's Test Enth (12 weeks)/Dbol 30mg's (first 5 weeks)

This is just something I wrote right now off the top of my head (I know it can't be perfect) and know that you guys will have some helpful tips to help me modify my routine. I'm including Abs and Calves twice per week on this cycle as those are my biggest weakpoints which I wish to bring up. I'm going to do limited cardio when I feel up to it. 30-40 minutes 3 times per week. And I want to try this split routine with my back which separates the muscles into two workouts each week, one for vertical pulling motions and one for horizontal pulling motions. Let me know if you think I have too many back movements (overall) in my routine; also I'm concerned about overtraining my biceps with this routine, what do you think.

looks like a pretty solid routine to me, the only thing I would change is ; either flat barbell or dumbell, but not both. (possibly alternate eo wk) good luck!!

Would need to know age, weight, height, bf% etc to gauge whether or not your training in right for you..

At first glance though, it looks like you've got too much volume and too higher reps, that is unless you've got a 650 deadlift/400 bench and already have the neccesary strength need to do pure hypertrophy.

Also, I would recommend doing straight sets, same reps. Ie, only go to failure on your last set. Going to failure (I'm assuming you are as your reps are dropping so much) does little for muscle growth..
