My Cycle Progession: Wow!

[Sleekphysique]

Good post SK,the hardest part of any cycle is "THE END" all the guys I know who juice have said the same thing.How you deal with the post cycle situation contributes to how much of the gains u keep.Its like superman taking off the suit and becoming Clark Kent again,when in reality we would all prefer to be superman period.Listen to the guys who know how to end a cycle properly there input will be invaluble

Nobody enquired about what your routine is like. How many sets /exercises per body part are you doing? How often?

Thank Lestat. My main reason for posting my cycle progress was to give people a peek into a first-time cycle users cycle. I also wanted to get as much advice as I could and make sure I do things right. The guys on this board have helped me alot and this thread actually got more of a response than I expected.

As for my training, in total I have probably missed 5 workouts.

Mon
Chest:
Flat bench, 5x6-10.
Dumbell Fly's, 5x6-10.
Incline 5x6-10.
Cable-crossovers, 6x10-12.

Biceps:
Barbell curls, 6x6-10.
Dumbell curls, 5x6-10.
Upright cable curls, 6x10-12.

Tues:
Back:
Lat pulldowns 6x6-10.
T-bar rows, 6x6-10.
Seated pulley rows, 6x6-10.
One-arm dumbell rows 5x6-10.

Wed:
Legs:
Squats, 6x8-12.
Leg extensions, 6x12-15.
Leg curls, 6x10-12.
Calve raises, 6xFailure.

Thurs:
Shoulders:
Seated barbell presses, 6x6-10.
Lateral raises (standing), 6x6-10.
Rear-delt lateral raises, 5x6-10.

Forarms:
Wrist curls (forearms on knees), 6xFailure.
Reverse barbell curls, 6xFailure.

Fri:
Abs:
Various ab workouts lasting 25minutes, done non-stop.

2 of those missed workouts were legs, 1 was shoulders, and one was back. I felt terrible about it but I couldn't avoid 3 of them as I had the flu (not related to gear.) I havn't missed a chest, bi, tri, or ab workout luckily. I'm betting if I hadn't gotten sick I would be up atleast 5lbs. more. I dropped almost 10lbs when i was sick and luckily almost all of that was water. As of right now I've got a bad cough, sinus infection, and maybe laringitus (sp?). The shitty thing is I havn't been sick in 3 years before now. This next week is my last, so I'm going to give it my all. I'm going to eat anything and everything I can and take in as much protein as I can handle.
I can go into more detail about my training routine if you need. Any comments or suggestions guys? Thanks bro's!

That is almost the exact routine I used to do before I started doing HST (7 weeks ago).

Congrats on your results. I have nothing gear related to add, but as far as your training goes, I don't see pullups or deadlifts in there. Those are two staples of any back routine. At your weight relative to your height, you should be able to crank out pullups or even weighted pullups no problem. Deads will thicken you up like no other. I just see way too many people in the gym that appear to be more than pullup-capable, and they're cranking out lat pulldowns every time.

Damn that's high volume. At least you're training each bodypart once a week. This routine would probably contitute overtraining if it wasn't for AAS. You're not training to failure on most of those sets?

[babbabuee]

hey khemix, where's the triceps in your routine?

 

[khemix]

Lol sorry, I didn't realize I didn't show my tricep workout. I do it on tuesdays after back.

2-Chair weighted dips (weight on lap, me suspended between 2 benches)
Close-grip bench presses 6x6-10
Pushdowns 6x6-10
French press (barbell) 6x6-10 (if time permits)

Anabolick, yes, I AM training to failure for all of those sets. The rep-range is just a minumum/maximum for me. If i get more, I go up weight. If there is 6 sets I usually do 2 sets of 10, 2 sets of 8, and 2 sets of 6. I've thought about the wide-grip pullups and deadlifts, but never actually done them. I will look more into them and try them tomorrow. Would you guys mind posting an example deadlift and pullup routine? Thanks bros, talk to you soon!

Chris

(PS. Lestat, this is a variation of Arnold's workout routine. It is very similar, just optimized here and there for me. And not done 3 times a week lol.)

Bump, anyone have any advice for me?
