Low volume training while on juice?

Hello guys, I'm going to start my cycle in two weeks time hopefully.
However, I have issues about training while juicing. I usually train high volume 8-12 reps x 3 sets and sometimes 4 sets.

Two weeks ago I started MAX OT program which is low volume training. Most of my close friends started telling me that I'm growing really fast when I started MAX OT. However, I didn't really notice any noticeable gains, the workouts were very short, about 45mins, but I still got a good pump, except for legs day.

So my question is when I start my cycle should I continue MAX OT low volume training, or should I do a high volume training?

The problem is when I do low volume training when on cycle I feel as I'm wasting my time and money, because I feel that I could gain more mass when I'm doing a high volume program, since high volume worns me out faster than low volume training.

I want to get the most out of this cycle, I don't mind doing a high volume or low volume training, but I prefer low volume since I can lift more and I don't stay in the gym for so long.

What do you guys think is better when on cycle, some people say take the advantage of recovering fast and go for high volume training. But others say when I'm on low volume training I grow more..

Its really frustrating can you guys give me some advice on weather it makes a difference or not and weather I should train more when on cycle?

Thank you in advance
 
A lot of the biggest guys I know of are doing low volume, high intensity, high frequency training. I personally love it.

Remember, what you are losing in volume is being more than made up for in frequency and intensity.
 
Your in a tough little predicament. I've been stuck there before, not knowing which really works better for you and not wanting to take a risk at trying something new. We can't really tell you what's going to work best for YOU, that one is for you to figure out. I wouldn't too much emphasis on what your friends said, very rarely will you see changes in two weeks of a new program, and if there are changes they're going to only be slight enough that only you will notice. Nobody lifts for two weeks and starts "growing fast". Considering how soon you'll be cycling I'd go with what you know. I reccomend training high volume, if its been working all this time then why try to fix it? Give low volume another try after cycle when you have more time to fully evaluate its effects on your body.

You'll grow with either type.

High volume, low intensity, high frequency works best for me. 4 sets for large groups, 3 for small, 6-10 rep range, ~2min rest between sets, each muscle group hit 2x a week.
 
I don't understand why you would change training when on cycle.. what works for you off with work better when you go on.

if you haven't figured out what works then you shouldn't be wasting gear yet. thats why training natty is so important.

it would be like going shark fishing in your neighborhood pond. its not gonna work whether you use the proper bait or you don't.

Sounds like I'm going to go with this type of training. However, is MAX OT considered high intensity and high frequency training?
