Best training regime on first cycle Test E - hypertrophy or strength?
Hi all
I’m almost 5 weeks into my first cycle of 500mg Test E per week. Things are going great so far with plenty of weight (of course mostly water at this stage) and strength gains.
My question is around what you guys think would be the most beneficial training regime. I have two regimes I got from a friend a while ago that seem to work really well for me. One is a high volume, high intensity hypertrophy regime with plenty of reps, lower weights, super sets etc. This is what I’ve been doing for the first 5 weeks of my cycle so far.
The second regime I have (which I find more fun) is a strength based regime. Less reps, higher weights with some 5x5s and even less reps on some days/weeks.
I like to constantly keep my training mixed up so after the 5 week point I’m looking to revert over to the strength regime. I just want to know everyone’s thoughts on this as obviously on a first cycle muscle growth is the goal, which the hypertrophy regime seems to be doing well with so far. Is there still a place for strength training? I’m thinking maybe if I can work on my strength it will help me keep my gains even better when discontinuing the cycle.
Anyway, all thoughts and experiences and opinions are welcome.
