Thread: My routine while on cycle

  1. #1

    My routine while on cycle

    Im 29 and taking Test E only at 500mg a week

    I threw this routine together, all of my sets are progressive weight. 70/80/90% of my rep max depending on what that rep range is. Please critique and criticize but if you tell me to take something out tell me what you would replace it with. Looking to add nothing but mass.

    Day 1
    Bench presses 3 sets 8 reps
    Incline bench presses 2 sets 8 reps
    Machined flies 2 sets 10 reps
    Barbell curls 3 sets 10 reps
    Dumbbell curls 2 sets 10 reps Day 3: Thighs

    Day 2
    Lying leg press (I have some type of pinched nerve that is aggravated by squats) 3 sets 10 reps
    Leg presses 2 sets 8-10 reps
    Leg curls 2 sets 8-10 reps Day 5: Shoulder, triceps

    Day 3
    Presses behind neck 3 sets 8 reps
    Upright row 2 sets 10 reps
    Side laterals 2 sets 10 reps
    BB Skull crushers 3 sets 10 reps
    Triceps pulley pushdown 2 sets 10 reps

    Day 4
    Lat pull to neck 3 sets 10 reps
    Barbell bent-over row 2 sets 10 reps
    Seated cable row 2 sets 10 reps
    Lying leg press calf raise 4 sets 15 reps
    Dead lifts 3 sets 8 reps

    I like the day on/day off schedule, that works great for bulking.

    But I don't see how 7 sets of chest for example (or other large muscles) is going to do much for you. I mean that is like a warm up.

    If you keep the reps low you can still gain mass with many more sets. You are taking it to the extreme trying to not expend energy(I guess) but at the cost of not working the muscle enough.

    ^^^^^^gotta agree for the most part- on chest days, i do bb bench 5 sets, inclined db i do 4 sets, fly's i do 4 sets. I rotate incline and decline. Thats just chest workouts. And i am maxing/burning out at the last two sets. So thats like 13 sets just chest. Then if i'm on a push, pull, leg split i would do tri's to and thats too much to keep going but you should have the idea. You should only have one or two work sets the rest are around 70% of max. The last two sets should fail before you hit the goal rep.

    your shoulder/tricep day is crap
    your only press is a behind the neck press????? And only 7 sets??? A good rule of thumb is 12 sets for smaller muscle groups and 16 for larger.
    you sound pretty new to lifting overall I dont think you should be taking any gear yet. I mean you wanna get huge but you can't even squat. I know you're gonna do what you want though and that's why your results are going to be minimal. Only 3 sets of deadlifts isn't enough. You could have a whole workout dedicated to deadlifts, its a truly amazing lift. Steroids don't make you big, being a HARD working F-ing beast does.

    I just saw these posts and Im not doing that routine anymore. Ive made adjustments and have created a log in members cycle results.

    FYI, I do have alot of warm up sets in there for bench. When I get down to my 3 working sets they are 80/90/101% of my 8-10 rep max.

    I dont know why I put 2 sets of incline, I usually do 4

    And no Im not new to lifting at all. Maybe I was high when I typed that first post, after reading it though. I agree it is crap, Im glad Ive changed everything
